I recently used olive oil because I ran out of mustard, I didn't notice any additional flavors.
As for mustard, it is my go-to for getting a rub to stick! I haven't ever noticed a taste difference with or without it. So if the idea is to get a rub to stick, or give the outside a little...
I don't think I've ever brined chicken for smoking, always turns out great. For that matter, I don't brine turkey either. I am not a fan of salt (meat naturally has a ton of it anyway), so I don't add extra. A good idea now would be to experiment with making your own rubs, and if they call for...
Well, I did my second batch of cheese, and with this batch I invited friends and family to bring their cheese over. The types in there are: Cheddar (all mild), Sharp White Cheddar, Swiss, Colby Jack, and Pepper Jack.
I did a batch about 2 weeks ago and it came out smelling like an ash tray. I...
I think I'll use the chips as well. I'm going to find out how well the mailbox mod works on Saturday when I smoke some cheese, but after putting it together it already seems to be a lot simpler. This smoker has a 3" hole in the bottom for the drip tray, and that really makes adapting the mailbox...
Reporting back. Turns out I really like this smoker. The small trays are useless for chunk wood, but they work great for chips and pellets. That being said, I did the mailbox mod for cold smoking, and an easier way to add smoke. I'm debating on closing the trays off, or just filling them with...
Ordered one and it showed up today! Tested it out by smoking a 1lb block of cheddar. Started it at 6 PM (it's 9:53 here now) and it's still going. I used a red solo cup to fill it up, which filled the smoke tube about 1/3 of the way. I think with it not being extended at all it'll burn 7+ hours...
Just finished putting mine together. I'm going to season it tomorrow after work, and do the first smoke on Thursday. I'll try and remember to report back. My concern is the smoke time, so I'm thinking of doing the mailbox smoke mod with an amazn tube, or come up with some other method (I'd...
Well, after three years of owning this smoker, I have decided to retire it. Oddly, I've been debating with myself on going to a bigger smoker, or any other smoker for that matter, because after about 50+ smokes on this thing, I know it really well. I even stuck to using Stubbs charcoal, and got...
