    Chicken, my new favorite method

    Thank you, and I am glad you liked it!  The brine really does help with the moisture.  I have done it with mesquite before, but I always mix it with apple or cherry to mellow it out.  I made some while the daughter, son in law, and grand kids were here over the holidays.  It was a huge hit.  I...

    Questions about Temp

    Thank you, Chef.  I was hoping someone who knows more about this than I do would be able to help.

    Sounds awesome!  Those taters sound good too.

    Smoking a rack of pork 2 with Qview

    Here's the one I "hammed" up.  One 1/2 plain, 1/2 spiced, but I don't remember with what.  Probably pepper and something else.

    They are good to have around!  I mis-typed the amount of cure.  For 1/2 gallon, it is 1&1/2 tsp.

    Smoking a rack of pork 2 with Qview

    Those things are awesome!  Pre-brined, so difficult to dry out.  Season them, then smoke 'em up! I am actually curing one right now for Christmas ham.  I backed off on the Kosher salt because they already have a salty brine in them.  I used 1/2 gallon water, 1&1/2 cups sugar, 1 T Kosher salt...

    Questions about Temp

    Your post was good.  I added the time from when you started to cook.  If your smoker was at least 225, the butts could have taken over 3 hours to get to 140.  Maybe a little longer.  So it spent at least 2 hours above 140.  But then how fast did it cool off after you turned the smoker down?  No...

    Oh yeah, I did switch out the water pan for the disposable foil pans from Coscto.  They can hold a gallon, and no clean-up required.

    Questions about Temp

    It sounds like it spent at least 3 hours in the danger zone prior to reaching 156, and possibly 3 more hours below 140 degrees after the smoker cooled down.  Common sense would say do not trust them.  Especially since they were injected.  I would wait for some experienced people before taking...

    Can you Over-Smoke??????

    I replied to your PM, but here it is so others can read it, too: The only mod that has to be done before you use it is on the wood pan.  It comes with 3 holes stamped out in the bottom with a flap of metal raised up over the hole.  That lets too much heat through and burns up the wood too...

    newbie propane smoker

    What in regards to the regulator?  I have the 30" propane and love it.  I have never had any issue with the regulator.  It does make a faint whistling sound when it is on low.  If you turn it up very slowly until the whistling just stops, that is right about 235 - 250 degrees, depending on the...
