    Cold smoked some cheap Bourbon Whiskey

    Was thinking about this the other day and I took some JD barrel chips and soaked them in some cheap Red wine for 2 days. Then used them for smoking some chicken breasts......omg wow! nice flavor. Reason I thought about this was I saw some used wine barrel staves on Amazon for smoking but the...

    Stirring the Pot-(Brisket)

    Spritz it with some apple juice every so often and/or then wrap it with either some foil or butchers paper with some apple juice thrown in. Cant really tell ya what hours and time to do this as you didn't specify how big it is.

    What to smoke for thanksgiving other than turkey.

    My wife always cooks the turkey. I like to get a honey baked ham from the HBH store and smoke it for a few hours until it gets nice and warm. The ham is already cooked so I just smoke it until its good and smoky flavored along with the honey glaze that it comes with. Well that's just my 2 cents...

    Let's talk Wood's.

    I love Mesquite. Love the strong robust flavor it gives when I cook beef and pork. For poultry I like to use Apple and Cherry. I would like to try Peach but I can never find chunks of it in stores and every time I try to order pellets for my pellet smoker its out of stock or back ordered.....

    First post and an embarrasing question

    Confused here. The racks that were sitting out of the fridge, were they cooked or uncooked? Cooked I'd put em in the fridge and eat later. They are ribs and fully cooked, not like leaving out a rare steak. Uncooked, yeah don't even try to cook and eat them, bacteria farm for sure!!! your...

    A-MAZE-IN-PELLET-SMOKERS

    Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I have used the charcoal JD pellets, long time ago and not in a tube or maze amnps. I did the foil pouch thing. The flavor was good IMO but I did it hot and fast with steaks. This was before I really knew about slow and low smoking.

    One less pitmaster in this world is always a sad thing. May he rest in peace and smell the smoke from all of our pits. One leaves and another takes his place. Thoughts and prayers for his family and friends, may you find comfort! -Tom

    Cold smoked some cheap Bourbon Whiskey

    The smoked bourbon loses a lot of the alcohols and congeners (flavorings you don't want) to evaporation (volatilization).......oh way back when I made my own stuff I'd cold smoke the corn first before mashing it in......oh god the flavor was awesome.
