    Complete fail on my first smoke.

    So my first question is how long did you give it to get to temperature.  We normally don't load the smoke chamber with food until we have at least reached cooking temps.  The load of meat will act as a heat sink and stop the temperature from rising for a while.    So my first bit of advice will...

    Hello from Maine

    Welcome! Would you be the only person with access to the smoker?  I bet you could find a way to wrap it up or put it in a storage box so it isn't in the weather all the time.  Now if everyone in the building can get to it I wouldn't leave it up there because there is no telling what you find...

    First Pastrami Attempt

    Looks good I don't remember the ingredients in Amazin Rub but I know pastrami is normally heavy on the black pepper and coriander.  Is that basically what you used.   What temps did you run in the smoker and how long was it in the steamer, that may account for it being a bit tough. The most...

    Beef short ribs - First time smoking with wood

    I think you are doing a great job.  They look pretty tasty from here.    If you wanted that BBQ flavor a little sauce wouldn't hurt.  Normally I don't like sweet sauce on beef but I love sweet sauce on ribs because of the amount of fat in them so for Beef Ribs it's kind of up in the air.

    recommendations for my first smoke?

    You can smoke a meat loaf, chuck roast isn't as thick and I believe cooks a bit faster.  Has enough fat in it that it can be forgiving.   You can get a partially or fully cooked ham and put it on the smoker for a couple of hours.  The added smoke really gives ham a great taste!
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
