    Is it time for a new smoker?

    HA! No worries at all! I was raised in Tennessee, so my accent is a bit different that everyone else around here. As far as I can tell, some folks like the Southern Accent and some don't. Of course, on television and in the movies, it's typically used to portray dumb-assery so it's a bit of a...

    @N4YNU, I only at-tagged @daRicksta out of habit from Facebook. :)

    Is it time for a new smoker?

    Thanks! Yeah, I have done wings, chicken breasts, Drunken Chicken, a ham and a couple of Boston Butts. What made me crazy about the pork shoulder was feeding wood through the incredibly ineffective Cajun door for a bazillion hours   So, I'm checking out the pellet thing ASAP. :) And, yeah, I...

    Is it time for a new smoker?

    I haven't since I did the "Drunken Chickens" (See: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/249760/drunken-chicken-aka-beer-can-chicken-first-time) Been out of town a bunch on the "last hoorah" before school started. I'm thinking it'll be football season soon (GO TIGERS!!) and can't wait to enjoy...

    Is it time for a new smoker?

    HAHA! Y'all are so awesome! I've been reading the (ahem... nerdy guy) posts but I missed the initial ones about potential thread-jacking. I have gotten lots of fantastic responses to my initial question, so I'm good w y'all using this to communicate otherwise. Thanks for the...

    Is it time for a new smoker?

    Well, there's a part of me that likes puttering around all day on Saturday, adding wood chips, but the way the Cajun is built makes it irritating. However, there would also be a part of me that would like to do a brisket without staying up all night :)  I guess the beauty of the AMNPS is that i...

    Is it time for a new smoker?

    Hey Guy: Zero offense taken. To  the contrary, I appreciate your insight and candor.  Wiping it out while still warm is something that hadn't occurred to me. I definitely am not looking for a spit-shine, but maybe "not disgusting" is more of my goal. :D Also, sounds like the consensus is for...

    Is it time for a new smoker?

    Thanks for the response and all the thoughtful information. I appreciate everyone's responses and advice. You are right about SMF being a fantastic place for information! I'll check out the pellet web site. I just see wood chips all over the place (grocery stores even) but not sure I've ever...

    Is it time for a new smoker?

    Interesting. Thanks for the tip - I read a couple of threads on here where that manufacturer seems to be highly favored. I like simple :)

    Is it time for a new smoker?

    Water won't hurt it? If I leave it open for a few days on the deck, the ole Labrador will clean it for me for sure. Ha!

    Drunken Chicken (AKA Beer Can Chicken) - First Time!

    Mike, Thanks!! I think it was the texture mostly that was different. Granted, I didn't have any of the breast from the BCC, which is what I do otherwise. I think I might not brine a whole chicken next time-- or maybe not as long. I do brined chicken breasts with fresh thyme under the bacon so...

    Is it time for a new smoker?

    Thanks all for the help! I'll check out the AMAZN add on. And, yeah GREAT idea on using vinegar!  I know the smoker isn't supposed to be pristine, I just want it to not be quite as repulsive. :)

    Definitely lots of fun :) Thanks for the input!

    Is it time for a new smoker?

    Well, there is that :) Thanks for the input.... Of course, that requires I clean this one which seems quite daunting.

    Is it time for a new smoker?

    Looking for some advice: Quick background: I am leaning to smoke using a Cajun Injector smoker that was my late husband's. I use it probably once a month (more in the summer). He got it December 2013, and I'm pretty sure it's never been cleaned out.  I clean the pans and racks between smokes...

    Drunken Chicken (AKA Beer Can Chicken) - First Time!

    Thanks! I used the recipe from his book. Off the top of my head: kosher salt, pepper, cayenne, thyme, garlic and rosemary. For the rosemary, i used fresh springs and put them directly in the beer cans.
