I signed up before I even bought a smoker. This site helped me decide what to buy and where to buy it! Also, I haven't screwed up any smokes yet thanks to all the great people on this site!

I put a 4+lb chicken and a fattie in the smoker two hours ago. Fattie is about ready to come off. Chicken is at 141°F and smokin at 270°F for another hour or so. I picked up the chicken this afternoon so I did not have time to brine it. Used a rub inside and out. Was gonna smoke at 225-240°F but...
I've done the same thing a couple times with whole 10lb striped bass in the salt dome (as the recipe called it). It takes a load of salt to cover a 30" fish, but it's pretty good. You can get every piece of meat off the fish by just lifting it from the bones. Make sure to leave a small hole for...
Thanks!
I'm registered on that site as well, but I haven't browsed beyond specific topic searches that I've done. Load's of info and I love the "roadmap" sticky thread. I have to work this weekend anyhow. Enjoy and don't forget to share some tips you learn with us!

I'm still kinda new at this myself and have yet to smoke some ribs. Also, I have not smoked more than one meat at a time. I have thrown some of Dutch's wiked baked beans and some ABTs in while smoking though.
The first butts I did were 6lbs each (before being trimmed) and cooking at 225-250°F...
There are several threads in the Propane Smokers section about the GOSM's from WalMart. They are not the same quality which is why they are at least $50 cheaper than everywhere else. The best deal is right here in Jeff's smoking-meat.com store (through amazon.com) - $189 no tax, no shipping...
Guess I got really lucky on my first attempt at smoking a turkey. It was moist & juicy and had a nice smoke flavor. The smoke ring, especially on the drumstick I just devoured, was pronounced. Next time, I'm going to try all cherry smoke!

IT JUST STARTED RAINING!!! Hopefully it's just a quick passing shower. I've never smoked in the rain. I see my smoker temp has fallen almost 15°F in two...
My aunt gave me a 12lb turkey she's had in the freezer since last Thanksgiving. Figured it would make for a nice first turkey smoke! Gonna need some practice before I make one for the family, possibly for Easter.
Thawed the bird out in a bucket of water for 6+ hours, and then brined it...
Can's say for sure in your area, but around me I cannot find chunk wood other than hickory or mesquite. In a pinch, I bought apple chips from a local BBQ/grill store. Many hardware stores carry the chips as well. I soaked the chips for 20 minutes and used it along with hickory chunks. I have...
Welcome Bif! I'm from Long Island as well. Lindenhurst. Whereabouts are you located?
I have only been smoking a short time now, but I wouldn't have been able to do it without the help from this forum and the people on it. If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to ask!
I'm going to have 120lbs of Hickory/Mesquite wood chunks shipped from BassPro Shops for US$47.88 plus $7.95 shipping - that's not high shipping in my book ($.06625 per pound). Total cost per pound is $.47 - pretty cheap!
