Smoking Saturday for Easter Sunday?
Hi All, I have 2 legs of lambs planed for lunch Easter Sunday. As I reevaluate quantities one is probably enough, which gives me the opportunity to smoke the other if I can do so on Saturday. Is this possible and if so what is the best why to store it and reheat it without losing anything? The... -
FAVORITE JERKY MARINADES?? Please share yours!
I made this 2 weeks ago with a slightly shorter marinading time and without patting it dry. It was great but next time I will let marinade longer, maybe swap Dr Pepper for Cheerwine and increase the peppers. Using hot sauce will probably change the flavors a bit and make it much spicier.- ncwolf

First time smoking :)
I would stick to Butt and Ribs they can smoke at about the same temp. Look into a 3-2-1 or 2-2-1 method for the ribs. You didn't mention your fuel source but if your smoker is charcoal I would find a small butt and cut it half and place them a part, this will greatly reduce cook time. Plan 2 per...- ncwolf

How to add thermometer to Brinkmann Gourmet Water Smoker
Find one that is made to go on a grill. It will have threads and a nut on the back to hold it in place. You will have to drill a bigger hole but the end result should be much better.- ncwolf

So....More Questions
Are you using the original charcoal pan set up? A lot of them greatly restrict airflow and prevent ash from falling so it builds up. I use a wok topper (like the one bellow) and it makes a world of different, you just have to be ready to adjust the vents. Over the winter I am going to try to...- ncwolf

First Brisket
I made my first Brisket this weekend in what will probably be my last smoke before spring. I started with a 6# flat trimmed it and cut it in half to try wrapping and not wrapping. Smoked with royal oak charcoal and chunks of oak for about 4 hours. Here is the unwrapped one when I took it of...- ncwolf

First smoke ever! Advice?
Why not throw a chuck steak in with your chicken? They are on the cheap end for beef and are around 3-4 lbs each. There are plenty of recipes for this but essentially keep the seasoning simple with salt, pepper, garlic and chili powder smoke to about 200 IT.- ncwolf

Weekend smoke Ribs and Butt
After a month off I fired up the smoker Sunday with a rack of StL ribs and a #4 butt(really 1/2 half a butt). Kept the butt simple with just a trusted rub. It smoked for about 7 hours with and had a 1 hour stall which seemed long for a half butt. I intended to do a 2+2+1 method on the ribs but... -
