    Pulled Pork....Minion method question...HELP!

    I have used the minion method every time I have smoked, and have never had any issues.  My smoker is just a brinkmann el cheapo. Right now, I am making pork and I am not getting a lot of smoke...almost none...I filled it the same as I always do but something is wrong.  The coals are still...

    Fresh ham?

    They aren't frozen yet, I literally JUST put them in the freezer. If I take it out now it will be thawed still. So it will just taste like a pork roast if I don't brine it? I might try it that way, then.  Is it possible to pull it or is it not a good enough cut of meat for that?

    Fresh ham?

    I just picked up a 20# fresh ham from the butcher shop. There are only two of us in the household, so I had them quarter it, leaving me with 4-5# hams.  Do I have to brine it before smoking, or can I smoke it without brining to give it a different flavor? What is the recommended method? I am not...

    fresh ham?

    I ordered a fresh ham to smoke in a couple of weeks. Any tips for doing so? It's not cured at all.

    I wrapped it a little too late, but I think it turned out pretty well!

    Red skin potatoes

    I'm kind of just winging it... I cut into chunks, covered in olive oil and italian seasonings, and wrapped in foil. I put them on the second rack of the smoker, the first rack has the meat on it. We'll see how it turns out.  I'm afraid my meat won't be as good as it could be because we got hit...

    Red skin potatoes

    I don't have an aluminum pan... I assume a metal cake pan would not suffice?

    Red skin potatoes

    I have some red skin potatoes I would like to use up for dinner tonight. I am smoking a 2 to 2-1/2# chuckie, already on the smoker.  Any suggestions of a way I can cook these potatoes on my smoker? Is that even possible?

    (another) Chuckie question

    Is there a way to make burnt ends with a chuck roast? I have never done it before and want to try, but don't even know how to start. I don't want to use the whole roast for burnt ends, just some of it. Is it possible?

    What should I smoke? And a few other questions...

    I think he's more afraid of how much work you have to put into it because it's an el cheapo and takes a lot of monitoring.

    Thank you! I am thawing it in cold water now and then going to rub it down for the night.

    What should I smoke? And a few other questions...

    4-5 hours for the chuck, also? I assume i should keep the smoker right around 200... is that accurate? Like I said, I am very new to this, so I'm sorry for all of the questions.

    What should I smoke? And a few other questions...

    Right now I have 2# chuck roast and I have a small rump roast, about 1-1/2#? and an appx. 3# sirloin tip roast, maybe 3-1/2#. (They aren't labeled with weight since we wrap them ourselves and just write on the package what it is, not size)

    What should I smoke? And a few other questions...

    I'll have approximately 8 hours to smoke...is that long enough? I plan on starting around 11am (I would start earlier, but have a Dr. appointment at 10)  I don't have wood chunks, but I DO have wood chips, which is why I was wondering if I could use those so I didn't have to run to the store...

    What should I smoke? And a few other questions...

    I don't think it has a separate place for the chips to go... last time I had chunks and just mixed them in with the coals.

    What should I smoke? And a few other questions...

    My husband and I are still very new to smoking, we haven't done very much at all yet.  The only thing I have smoked so far has been sirloin tip, and I was hoping to smoke something for dinner tomorrow since I will be home all day.  We have the cheap 'beginner' Master Forge green vertical...
