    If you could get any sub $1000 electric, what would you get?

    You're getting lots of great advice, I'm curious to see which way you go.

    First Run! A Success! (with questions) LOL

    This is what it's all about, trying new things and looking for the perfect recipe that will make your smoke the best. With all the different types of smokers, wood, charcoal, rubs, meats, etc. it will provide a lifetime of fun and when the family gets involved, it makes great memories, too.

    1st attempt at ribs today. Beyond excited!

    Looks like it turned out better than my first few tries.

    Need Immediate Help! Talk me out of a Lang 36 Original Patio smoker.

    There is this place down the road from me in Metter, Ga. called Papa Buck's. He actually lived about 4 miles from me as the crow flies. But they make great brisket, so we asked the waitress about it and she said Papa Buck had tried relentlessly to get his brisket right but was having trouble. To...

    I missed this post. Yes, you would have every right to buy any Lang that showed up in Hawaii. No one would fault you, not even the wife. I envy your position, with the exception of the fact that a Lang is probably not going to show up in Hawaii.

    Technically, talking me into a 48 Patio is like talking me out of a 36 Original Patio, so...thank you?

    Now see guys, this is the kind of help I was looking for! I get a new Lang, I could end up with stitches.

    Looking at this pic, maybe I should go with the 48 Patio.

    Where I'm from, when you go to a BBQ restaurant and ask for a BBQ plate, you will get BBQ'ed pork, potato salad and Brunswick stew unless you tell them otherwise.

    I like to brine poultry, even if it is just salt water; it seems to distribute the salt more evenly throughout the meat and I think the cooked meat retains more moisture, making it nice and juicy. You have to be careful not to over-salt it, maybe start with 1/2 cup salt to 1 gal. water...

    I don't know which is worse, salt in the wound or using my desire for a Lang to take advantage of me.

    Don't underestimate McCormick. They didn't get to be a conglomerate because they produce bad seasonings.

    I must be getting old, because it is slowly dawning on me that just plain old salt and pepper with a good smoking wood is really about all that I need.

    Now don't get me wrong, I love smoked meat, but it doesn't compare to what my wife can do in the kitchen. My stomach won't let me risk losing her unless we get her cooking in the divorce settlement.

    Now this is promising. What you're saying is I can cook late and cuss about my crappy smoker and she will insist I go down to Nahunta and pick up a Lang?

    I believe, according to Webster's Dictionary, this is the definition of "rubbing salt in the wound."

    It probably would, until I had to drive back home.
