Big Dummy(me) forgot to add the link!Right now I have a GOSM propane unit.But I am leaving provisions in this unit to add wood as a fuel or electric.An uncle of mine used to do it all with wood and I would do it that way if I had the time.Between work and side jobs I try to squeeze in what I can.
Very nice birds.I wasnt big on turkey until we started brining them.Now I dont care if I do one evry other week.But spring is coming and then its Salmon time again.
Still workin on the design for my new smoker and saw these.It would take care of a couple of issues that I was dealing with and thought it was a neat deal.
Well I smoked the bird today.It was ok but I wish I had brined it longer.It was a large bird that I cut in half(24#).I brined it for14 hours.If it wasnt a gift I wouldnt have bought a bird that had the solution.I used the McCormick rub which was good.Also used the cheesecloth butter baste.The...
Well when I opened the packages I was surprised to find that instead of 2 roasts,I have 1 roast and 3 steaks.I put a rub on the roast and wrapped till morning.Seeing the bacon tip I will add the bacon than as the way the roast is textured it will "marble" easily.I have had wild elk before so it...
I know it makes a difference in brining salmon if its a large or small batch.I use an old cooler and if I am brining 1 smoker load I have a mark for one mixture and a different mark for 2 loads.I kinda forgot that with the larger amount of birds I brined this last weekend and I think I should...
As a welder by trade NO,NO,NO.I have been sick from the fumes and had taken preventative measure beforehand.I also had a freind who was a shear operator for many years and at one time sheared galvanized for months on end and got sick with the same symptoms as I had when he went to the doc it was...
My employer gave us turkeys for Thanksgiving and I am going to cut the bird into halves and smoke it.The problem is that it is prepped in that 6% solution so would I reduce the salt in my brine by 1/2?any educated guesses?
Welcome to the site.There are a lot of great people here are always willing to help.If you go to the Poultry section of the site there is a thread there about cornish hens that wass just started.Also if you scroll down a few more there are 3 or 4 threads about turkeys and I know there are 2 or 3...
I was just lookin back at some earlier threads and if the brine inrterests you there are 3 or 4 turkey threads in a row and there are 2 or 3 different brine recipes and none of them sound bad to me.The last cornish hens I did I brined about 4 hours.
I smoke the hens at 225-250*until they are at 160 internal temp.I also brine them and use a rub,I have not made my own rubs yet so I have been using either McCormicks chicken rub or famous daves chicken rub.I think that brining them makes a huge difference.
Welcome,this is a very good resource.I am from Montello,Wi.I have learned an awful lot from the folks here.I used to smoke just salmon but now I do a lot of Butts and Birds and one of these days I will brave a brisket.Its a great community here just ask and there is a bunch of good advice.
Lookin mighty good.I did a whole smoker load of chickens and cornish hens yesterday,I keep listening to you guys talkin brisket and I just am going to have to do one.Edt 1 question is that a boughten rub or homemade,I need to start trying some of the others rubs and that looks nice!
very nice lookin .I havent attempted a brisket yet but maybe next weekend.It helps when your wife likes the end product.My wife thought the smoker was just for salmon but I started doing other stuff and lately its been "What are you making this weekend????"
