    Can I cure After I Brine

    Another question, do I spray olive oil on my grates to keep the meat from sticking or is it best to hang instead of placing on the grates?

    Can I cure After I Brine

    Well I couldn't find any cure at the store yesterday so I am going to have to smoke the jerky without the cure. I had planned to smoke at 165 degrees for 4-6 hours but I am worried that I won't be able to get the meat out of the danger zone as soon as I should. What temps should I set my smoker...

    Can I cure After I Brine

    First time making deer jerky, I have a pound of deer tenderloin cut into 1/4 inch thick strips brineing in the fridg at this time. I read a lot about curing the meat before smoking but I haven't picked the cure up yet. My question is, can I cure the meat after I brine or will that be too salty...

    How to time smoking turkey parts

    This year we plan to smoke just the turkey breast and 10 or 12 turkey legs. When smoking a whole turkey, I can understand the amount of time that should be planned to smoke. But when smoking a breast and a bunch of legs, do I add all the weight up. For example, 8 pound breast and 10 pounds of...

    Why are my smoked turkeys turning black and cooking really fast???

    The only thing I did different from what you did was have my vents closed smaller and I had several pieces of bacon on the rack above to baste. I smoked with hickory saw dust and a couple of soaked chunks. My turkey cooked really quick this year though, so quick I was kinda concerned. It was...

    Smoking a Turkey in Electric Smoker

    When I smoke butts and ribs I always put 5 or 6 charcoal briquets in my electric smoker to get a good smoke ring. While smoking a turkey do I still use the briquets or not. I have smoked turkey before but I can't remember if I used the briquets. Also do any of you use a small amount of water...

    Insulating an Electric Smoker

    I have googled Phenolic rigid foam board and it is a little confusing, is this the blue foam insulation sold at Home Depot or the aluminum foil covered foam board?

    Insulating an Electric Smoker

    I hope this is posted in the right place. I have an older Smokey Mountain Series charcoal smoker that I converted into an electric several years back.
