    Fritz's mini WSM build

    I decided to go with some smoked chicken breasts.  We always have them on hand.  I used the recipe in Jeff's book.  I have them on the smoker right now.  I'll post Q-views when I finish smoking them.

    Embers charcoal, anyone use it?

    So I was over in Home Depot and picked up some wood chunks.  I noticed that they have a brand of charcoal called Embers.  It is only about 1/2 the price of the Kingsford charcoal I normally get.  I'm wondering if anyone has used it.  Is it worth giving a shot?  Or should I just stick to what I'm...

    Carp ?

    Caro is one of the most eaten fish in the world. We have a prejudice against it here in the USA because it trends to be the only thing that survives in our most polluted waters. It is also a bottom feeder. But in clean water, there's nothing wrong with carp. Sent from my YP-G70 using Tapatalk 2

    Cream Cheese Substitute

    I haven't had them smoked this way, but I've had them filled with marble jack cheese. They weren't cut in half and they used a rack to cook them. Sent from my YP-G70 using Tapatalk 2

    Insulation and wind break for Mini and 14.5 WSM

    So, I guess it kept that beer from freezing, huh?

    Yeah, I'm planning on doing the mod on the vent.  I haven't gotten to that one yet.  Same goes for the table.

    Fritz's mini WSM build

    I'll keep that in mind.  I have no idea of which woods work well with which meats.  I just saw the hickory/apple mix listed in one of the fattie threads so went with it.  I'll swing by Home Depot to get some different wood one day in the near future. Any suggestions for the next smoke?

    It just occurred to me that it might not have been the bacon that was over powering.  I used hickory smoked bacon and I smoked with hickory and apple.  I think that the smoke was just too strong.   Next time I'll try bacon that's not labeled as something-smoked.

    Snowed in Turkey Breast in MES 30

    That seems like an awful lot of volume for a turkey breast.  I'll certainly give this a shot.  Thanks for the recipe.  I'll have to pick up a few items, I don't have any allspice berries (although I'll probably leave those out) we also used up the last of the soy sauce with the pepper steak the...

    Snowed in Turkey Breast in MES 30

    So you used the brine that was on that page with the wet rub?  I'm going to do a turkey breast soon and this looks really good.

    After the smoke, I shut all vents and the coals went out.  Can I reuse the charcoal?  There were also large pieces of the wood chunks.  Are these usable?  They look like charcoal instead of burned wood.  Any uses for them?

    Pumpkin Seeds

    Just bumping this to see how these turned out. I roasted some this Fall and hung onto some to roast later in the year.  Now that I've got a working smoker, I want to try these but only if they turned out.

    Yes, I did the bottom ash deflector.  It's is a temporary measure at the moment.  I couldn't find a stainless dog bowl at the dollar store and I'm not willing to pay the $15 they wanted at the pet store.  So I used an aluminum foil left-over food bowl.  Worked fine, but when I cleaned it out...

    Get out the bibs, Boys and Girls! Post your favorite Mini-WSM Q-view here!

    Sure, start this thread now when I only have a single Q-view.  Anyway, here's my first smoke.

    I may not be able to do the paint job.  There is some discoloration on the pot now that I've used it.  I haven't looked closely, but it looks like burned fat.  I'll see what I can do with it, though. Question about the wood chips.  Are they or no use to me in the mini-WSM?  I used the chunks...

    Another first fattie thread

    This past weekend, I broke in my new mini-WSM.  I decided that a fattie was the way to go. I went with ground beef instead of sausage.  I used the steps in the fattie sticky to build it.  Sorry I don't have any rolling pictures, I didn't think to take them.  One is spinach, provolone and...

    Insulation and wind break for Mini and 14.5 WSM

    I was planning on doing something like this for mine.  I used it for the first time this weekend and to get the temperature at 225-250 I had to use a pie pan instead of the clay saucer and I hid in the car port.  It doesn't get as cold here as it does for some of you up in the arctic, but It is...
