    2016 UK Smokers Weekend

    Hello Wade.  Too late now for me to do brisket.  I wish I had known.  Rhinoceros is also proving hard to find.     SO!  I figure I'll bring some pork belly, beans, sausage and chicken.  Hope this helps.  Keep Smokin! Danny

    Salmon

      Hello Wade!  I knew you would be around soon buddy.  Just had to get that early afternoon nap out of the way and you are good to go for another hour or so before the mid afternoon nap.   There you go Jo.  Wade knows his stuff.  His smoked salmon is a favourite with my missus.  Can't go wrong...

    Salmon

    Hello and Welcome.  I can't help with this one.  Wade is the fish smoking man here.  I am sure he will but if he doesn't chime in soon look him up at the link below.  "RATTLE HIS CAGE"  ( he is getting older and dozes off now and then    ) and send him a private message and ask him to look at...

    Any Consensus Over Opitmum Brisket Internal Temp?

    Hello Rick.  Just my humble opinion but I don't think there is that optimum IT.  As you well know each brisket can be different.  I think the toothpick test is a good rule of thumb but I have had varied results using that.  Sometimes I have used it and then after resting 2-3 hours I end up with...

    Ideas for first smoke?

    Hello and welcome to the fun.  We look forward to your contributions.  I will assume you have seasoned your smoker and sealed every leak you can.  I always advise the same with this question.  Chicken leg quarters and maybe some burgers with just salt and pepper.  Easy to do and cheap to buy.  I...

    Pork butt temp question

    Hello.  I would be concerned about my probes about now.  Let's go "old school": grab that bone with tongs or a gloved hand.  Twist the bone.  If it gives easily, it's done.  If it does not, I would worry about that what I am using to check grill temp is way off.  If the bone does not give easy...

    Rookie question #1

    Hello.  Next time please take the photo of the smoke exiting the smoker.  That smoke "looks" on the blue side so "maybe" not bad.  I assume you are new to smoking so I don't want to confuse you but white smoke is not "NECESSARILY" a bad thing.  You need to learn to control your smoker so that...

    First time smoking

    Hello.  I stand corrected.  In the photos I saw on the net I did not see those vents.  Probably just the photos. As to your question I would say you are right on the money.  Once the ash build up stops the air flow under the coals the party is over.  So what do you do about this?     I have...

    Hello.  I am a lot out of my knowledge here but that is almost 9' long and what? 18"- 24" ID.?  Is that what your "firebox looks" like?  So the whole smoker is 18"-24" deep or I am missing something?  Also is that a concrete slab under those blocks?  If so does it run to the OD. of the structure...

    2nd UDS build - Doing it right this time

    Looking good Dean.  Keep that paint touched up.  Heated metal, left untreated ( bare metal ) will rust over night if exposed to the elements.  Keep Smokin! Danny

    First time smoking

    Hello.  Yes!  Stainless is a B**** to work with.  I think you may need about 4 extra holes in the center?  BUT!  why is there 4 extra un-dampered vent hole in your smoker?  Those holes are also in the wrong place to promote good coal burning or temp control.  Please tell me you did not drill...
