    Smoked Beef Brisket QVu

    I generally don't use foil at all. What I did was let it cruise in the smoker with a combination of kingsford briq's, mesquite lump, and some mesquite I have laying around. I let it go this way for 6-7 hrs then upped the heat and threw a water pan in at the bottom near the heat. I let it sit in...

    Smoked Beef Brisket QVu

    Had a blast the other day smoking a small (9# i think) brisket. All said and done, it took approx 12 hours. I also threw some sweetened blackeyed peas into the smoker for about the last 3 hours. Half the brisket was gone before I could even grab the phone to take pictures. I had a hard time...

    Advice on smoker vents!

    I'm assuming you're using the smoker that's pictured in your signature line. Without knowing how it's set up now, it's kind of hard to know what would help and what would be worse. I have a homemade smoker similar to yours, only it's 100% steel, not wood. What I did on mine was left about 1/4"...

    Yet another turkey/ham all-nighter smoke with QVIEW

    The turkey was a 23 pounder and smoked for about 13 hours along with a large ham. I injected and basted the turkey about 1 hour before it went into the smoker. I used some Buchanan's scotch, butter, italian herbs, lemnon pepper, some chicken broth and a few other things I can't remember off the...

    UGGHHH, big surprise inside my MES...HELP!

    I know the feeling! A couple of months ago, I went out to fire up the smoker and was met with last smoke's leftovers - some ribs and chicken COMPLETE WITH MAGGOTS!!! I freaked out because the little suckers started scrambling and I couldn't find my gloves. Luckily, my neighbor had just trimmed...

    Is Pecan Wood good for Turkey

    Pecan is the BEST choice when it comes to turkey in my opinion. I used (mostly) pecan on last year's turkey smoke and I was very pleased with the result. Tom

    Beef Short Ribs (finger food)

    Good drool factor, as always, Jeanie. Your post hit me like a ton of bricks; I have some boneless ribs in the freezer and this thread gave me a good idea of what to make of 'em. If I get around to making it soon, I'll come back and give you credit for the idea! Thanks for sharing the fine...

    Spare ribs, cross-cut beef ribs, split chicken, salsa, and a pot o'beans w/QVIEW

    Yep, it's time to call the lawyer and serve the Mrs. with an ultimatum - "Let me smoke or let me be free." LOL If my wife ever asked me for a divorce, I'd give her the house and cars as long as I can keep my smoker and my mesquite and oak stock piles. Don't sweat it too much man, guess what...

    Givin back to forum... Smoke Chicken Chipotle Tortilla Soup

    for sharing the recipe. I love tortilla soup - although this seems closer to 'caldo Tlalpeño' which I also love. Next time I fire up the smoker I'm going to try to remember to put 2 or 3 chicken breasts in to have on hand and make this caldo. I'm going to save this post and I'll report on the...

    Leftovers, sausage, corn, quesadillas w/ QVIEW

    Thanks for the kind words. I agree with you about smoke more, have more leftovers. I usually don't take the time to tie everything together and make a true meal from them but I felt compelled to do just that today. I do wish I had some leftovers from the leftover leftovers now though, hehe...
