Smoked Turkey Legs
Yeah one of my favorite Belgium styles. I hosted a beer dinner back in 2000 for their US customers and was gifted a case of the Abt 12 60 Anniversary release. One of the best beers I've ever had.... -
Smoked Turkey Legs
Ahh thanks for the help.. I'm sort of old fashion and have only cured salmon for lox and brine for moisture. Does a full cure change the texture of the meat at all?? I'll definitely have to give it a longer rest to test the curing method. -
Smoked Turkey Legs
I thought curing was a method used with salt to preserve? Didn't realize that leaving meat in a brine for days would also cure the meat. -
Smoked Turkey Legs
Good info I may try and do some this weekend. Wow that's a long brine I usually only brine for 18-24 hours max.... -
Convert GMG to charcoal?
The bottom is actually pretty thick, but I was thinking about lining the bottom with ¼” high temp 3000 degree kiln shelving just to be on the safe side since I would like to sear steaks and get the temp really hot. The reason I want to go with kiln shelf is it’s pretty cheap and can be cut...- lght

Convert GMG to charcoal?
it's not really rated for grilling so I thin the max would be around 500 or so... I would probably keep it much lower unless i'm searing a steak then the lid would be left open which is very thin aluminum.- lght

Convert GMG to charcoal?
I thought about it, but just got a new one instead... I really didn't want to put money into a smoker with 12+ years of age on it...- lght

Convert GMG to charcoal?
I have a GMG jim bowie one of the very old ones I think the serial number is under 200. The motor, controller, and igniter are all dead so I'm considering on using it for charcoal since my WSM doesn't have the space this does.. Has anyone converted an pellet grill before? I'm concerned with...- lght

Old Mini Fridge, BBQ Stand, PC Tower plus AMNPS egual COLD SMOKING
Ahhh ok I get it now. Yeah It's weird to see fans since smoke will search for air and just move naturally. As far as the temps what temp is it? I have read optimal temps for cold smoking is 60-70 degrees which works for me since the heat of the pellets always seems to land my smoker at around...- lght

Old Mini Fridge, BBQ Stand, PC Tower plus AMNPS egual COLD SMOKING
Ok so you didn't need the fans after all? You said "I could believe the results", did you mean to say couldn't? Just want to make sure I'm getting it correctly since I never used fans, I wasn't sure if I was missing anything or not.- lght

Old Mini Fridge, BBQ Stand, PC Tower plus AMNPS egual COLD SMOKING
Wow nice setup. I like the idea, but I've never seen the need for "fans". I've cold smoked in several smokers, old fridges, etc and never needed a fan. Once setup and running after the smoking area gets completely filled with smoke anything in the container will be completely surrounded with...- lght

GMG vs WSM
If you have a little one on the way go with the GMG. My first just turned 7 months and being able to turn on the smoker and just walk away is a huge plus. Although it's not hard setting up a WSM it's a matter of quick and easy setup and cleanup. The GMG I spent 10 seconds turning it on and 1...- lght

Smoking my first fish
Only time I've tried Bass was on a survival trip for a week (we had to forage and fish to survive). I can say I wouldn't bother trying to smoke them as the fillets are some what tough and wouldn't do well if smoked. If you do want smoke flavor do a quick 30-40 min cold smoke and then a hot... -
Smoked Ostrich Steak Au Poivre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great dish again. I seared some left over toro from a fishing trip and tossed it in a salad (something I eat often) and really thought hrmmm what would work great other than tuna that I haven't had in some time. Looks like I found my answer!!
