    Smoked Chicken Legs - 1st timer question...

    I've been wanting to check out that smoker at Canadian Tire, my main question is ... Does it have an adjustable air intake below the charcoal pan???  Also, whatever charcoal pan is in there, you have to be sure that it doesn't get clogged up with ash. I might consider picking that one up if it...

    HOw do I smoke sockeye salmon?

    I'm doing some ribs today but my wife has a half fillet of sockeye, just wondering how this is usually smoked? obv I'm not going to brine or anything, is that ok?  Can I just throw it on there for 3-4 hrs at 220? thanks

    gonna smoke a blade pot roast.....

    actually the cut was very fatty and tender...not tough at all.  Anyway I didn't get a response here on time so I cooked it to 145F and it didn't turn out very good. Guess I should have put some more thought/research into before trying something new lol I think it would have been much better...

    gonna smoke a blade pot roast.....

    This was kind of a last minute thing, went to the market and picked up a blade pot roast. Is this going to be good to smoke and can someone give me process to follow? like what temp to cook it to, foil or no foil ...that sort of thing.   It doesn't look like many ppl smoke this type of cut.

    First pulled pork this weekend ..... Did I buy the right cut? lol (will update with Qview as I go)

    K so I've never bought or seen a pork shoulder before, but from pictures I've seen it seems like it should be more round? So am I doing a Boston Butt this weekend and having pulled pork or something else? =D

    wood fire in BSKD or Bandera?

    I built a charcoal basket and it's now a good 3 inches above the bottom.  I'm kinda lost as to why I can't get it hotter.  I just did the baffle mod so maybe my heat was just going straight up and out the vent.  I have some new charcoal I've been told burns hotter, Dragons Breath, so if that...

    wood fire in BSKD or Bandera?

    I'm just wondering if anyone uses just wood for their fire in the Brinkmann Smoke King Deluxe or Bandera. Would doing this help me get my temps up in the cook chamber, or will it be too hot for the unit? Don't want to wreck the unit but so far haven't been able to get temps above 220, and only...

    Question about ribs....

    Last weekend I did some back ribs using the 2-2-1 method and they turned out really good!  I was quite happy with them, however when I removed them from the tin foil to put them back on the rack for the final hour they basically fell apart.  I was amazed and that's the first time I had seen that...

    Attempting 2nd smoke tomorrow; First one was a disaster!

    k thx for the help.  I started my session and i'm still having problems getting the temp up.  IT's better now with the charcoal box and better quality charcoal  but I only got it up to 216F ....right now it's sitting around 205-210 with the intake and exhaust about 1/2 open.  The thing is I've...

    Attempting 2nd smoke tomorrow; First one was a disaster!

    I just bought the Brinkman smoke king deluxe last weekend and was very anxious to try out some ribs ,....like the title says it did not go well.  I had a really hard time getting the heat up in the vertical smoke chamber - I couldn't get it past 150 F.  At that point I was pretty disappointed in...
