    Wow, cheers for the advice, they look top notch. Definitely better than the ones I put on the smoker! I will certainly give them a go.

    Sorry Wade, also meant to add that I did the ribs for about 2.5 hours I think. I was worried that putting loads more smoke at that point might overdo it in the pork, but the pork could've handled a lot more smoke and in the end the ribs weren't smokey enough for me. I didn't bother with any rib...

    Hi guys, thanks so much for the replies as advice, I'll definitely be taking it on board. I was pretty pleased with it for a first go as I've not made any adjustments to my Brinkman yet either. I think I definitely need a temp gauge in it though. I'm just using the basic ideal/hot one it came...

    First attempt today.

    Hi guys, Just thought I'd share with you and ask for feedback. Today I finally got round to doing my first ever bit of smoking. After poor weather, working shifts and being abroad, I seized upon the decent weather we had today and gave it a shot. Ideally I would've loved to have done pulled...

    Absolute disaster! Advice needed!

    I was using a starter. I used it once before and it worked really well. It just wouldn't light this time though. I copied a you tube video to make sure I did it right but once the paper burnt away nothing happened. I may just try it with a new bag of charcoal, so etching must've happened to it...

    Absolute disaster! Advice needed!

    That's probably spot on. Thinking about it, it was stored in an outside locker. It felt dry and the paperbag it was in was okay but the locker isn't very water tight so it must've soaked some up. Cheers for the quick answer. Think I'll be storing it elsewhere from now on!

    Absolute disaster! Advice needed!

    Hi all. I had my first attempt at smoking yesterday, well I say smoking, I couldn't even get the charcoal lit!!! I had previously cured the smoker and used a charcoal starter and it worked a treat. However when I tried to use it again, it just wouldn't light. I used an entire newspaper during...

    Cheers folks. Been delayed by rain so I've not smoked anything yet (I've been looking at buying some sort of shelter) It's looking like it should be okay today and tomorrow though, so I'll see how I get on!

    Bologna Smoke

    That looks lovely. How long did it take in the smoker?

    Cheers guys. Much appreciated. Cured my smoker yesterday so I'm ready to go. Only thing stopping me is a storm named Bertha. Once Bertha buggers off, fingers crossed it stays dry and I'll be giving it my first shot!
