    Last Weekends Smoke

    Hi Again Everyone, As we do every year, we took a week off last week and headed up north for vacation, and to celebrate our daughters birthday. As it turns out there are quite a few people in the family(s) who have dabbled in smoking with most having used old refrigerators that were modified...

    Alright, so here's weekend two

    So this weekend we decide we're going to try the big time and smoke up a chicken. I know chicken is supposed to be a good starter meat, but we don't roast whole chickens, or whole anythings usually... this would normally be a Thanksgiving meal. So anyway, I find myself a brine recipe...

    So I found out I'm clueless

    Hi Guys, Thanks a lot for the input, your suggestions were definitely helpful! The Fatties we did turned out pretty good, not a lot of smoke flavour to them really... but I kind of expected they might be a bit mild on the smoke side since I wasn't getting alot of action out of the chips. I...

    So I found out I'm clueless

    Thanks cajunsmoker, When you are smoking should there be a constant supply of smoke going on? It's probably the crappy chips I'm using, and I have about 1 1/2 cups of chips in a tin foil bowl thing that I covered with tin foil. I put a couple holes in it and it seems like it takes a while to...

    So I found out I'm clueless

    It's called a Char-Broil H2O Smoker, but from what I was told on another thread I think it's basically an ECB. I haven't done any modifications to it, but after using it last night I can see how adding the holes to the charcoal pan and lid would be handy. I'm going to try smoking up a Fatty...

    So I found out I'm clueless

    Hi again Guys, Holy hangover, the wife and I went to a local bar to watch the UFC pay per view last night... I ran through a curing procedure on the smoker yesterday, and was able to get it to ~280 at it's highest point for the last hour or so... I'm hoping that's good enough. Actually it...

    New Smoker

    Hi Guys, So I ended up with the Home Depot bargain smoker... it's a Char-Broil H20 Smoker, or something to that effect. I've assembled it, and read through the instructions and am left with a question. I could swear I read somewhere on this site that the smoker needs to be prepped before it's...

    Frozen Meats

    Thanks for the help guys. I picked up my smoker today (along with a digital thermometer), and just finished assembling it. I ended up with a Char-Broil H20 Smoker from Home Depot ($40), hopefully it's good enough to get started with. Tomorrow I'll pick up some sausages and give it a whirl...

    Frozen Meats

    Hi Guys, Kind of a dumb question, but can previously frozen meats be smoked? I want to try smoking a Fatty, and the only type of sausage I was able to find that fits the description comes frozen. I'm wondering if I can thaw it and smoke it, or should I just buy some fresh Johnsonvilles and...

    Decent Beginner Smoker

    Hi Gary, Thanks for the help. I think starting off with the ECB sounds like the best bet. I did manage to find a page that lists several modifications that can be done to improve performance, and they don't really sound all that difficult to do. We'll just have to wait and see how things...

    Decent Beginner Smoker

    Hi Guys, That's great, thanks for the quick and informative feedback! Unfortunately the Weber is a bit beyond what I've been told I can spend... my wife loves the BBQ and meals cooked on the open fire but none of use have really tried any smoked meat outside of the smoked...

    Decent Beginner Smoker

    Hi Guys, Nice forum you have here. I'm looking to purchase a smoker, and am entirely new to the cooking method... mind you, I'm not stranger to a hot grill and a case of beer on the weekends. Here are the ones I have in mind... you'll notice a couple from Canadian Stores, but I'm a hop, skip...
