    Smoked Tialpia on Little Chief

    Picked up some tilapia fillets from the store today. They're on the smaller side, 1/2" thick at most but we'll see how it goes. I'm giving bearcarver's recipe a try, with a few tweaks: -Double the cayenne, I enjoy some spice on anything I smoke. -I only had dark brown sugar, so that's what I...

    Found a MES on clearance

    Was at Lowe's this morning amd they had MES 30", digital display. The plain black one, no glass door. Clearance price was $170. Pretty close to Amazon pricing, but no shipping would make it significantly less. My only real concerns are the display and size. I will be storing outside, and plan...

    Need another smoker

    MES reviews look good, also checked out the amazen products and they look interesting. Grills and smokers should start popping up at Lowes soon, will have to keep an eye out. Thanks for all the help!

    Need another smoker

    Thanks for the fast reply! I've heard good things about the MES so will definitely look into it. I debated the dehydrator route as well, but think I'd get a more use out of a more substantial smoker. The little chief has put out a load of jerky and trout so I'd definitely still keep it around...

    Need another smoker

    Hello everyone, long time since I've posted. Just got done with a batch of jerky in my Little Chief and I realized I need an upgrade. Had the jerky in there for over 10 hrs (it was very cold out) and still had to throw it in the oven for a few. Ideal price range would be around $200 or so, and...

    Smoked Rainbows

    Tried smoking them but after less than two hrs they were hard as a rock. Next time going to use a wet brine and reduce the time.

    Smoked Rainbows

    Took a dozen trout out of the freezer and thawed them out. Dry brine: 4 cups dark brown sugar, 1 cup salt, 2 tbsp black pepper 12 hrs later (pretty sure this was way too long) Are they supposed to look like that after coming out of the brine? I know I left them in too long...are they...

    Pepper Jerky Round 2 (with Q-View)

    Thanks! I'll have to add those to my smoker upgrade list.

    Black Pepper Jerky

    I do it mainly because at this time of year the temps fluctuate so much with the time of the day it's way too hard to predict how long it will take, and opening the topload every time to check lets 90% of the heat out. Once I upgrade smokers outside temp won't matter near as much. I also find...

    Pepper Jerky Round 2 (with Q-View)

    Nothing wrong with ground meat jerky! I'm going to be getting a chest freezer soon and when I do we can get really good deals around here on bulk lean ground beef so I can stock up. Just gotta figure out a way to smoke the ground sticks, and dig out my jerky gun.

    Pepper Jerky Round 2 (with Q-View)

    Thanks for that tip jerky nut. Just ate the last of this batch earlier today so may have to try it out on the next one. If I do I'll have to decrease the pepper in the brine a bit. This stuff was plenty spicy.
