    elementary question for ECB

    That's a great question, thanks for asking it cause I have the same concern with my offset smoker. I'd like to add another facet to it as well, I have a damper on the bottom half of my fire box and one on the top half as well. What are they doing if I open or close one or both? If I have them...

    Boston Butt

    OH, so you foil it at about normal completed cooking temps and keep foiled until it's 200, I hear? Do I keep it on the smoker in foil until it's 200 or take it off? Thanks for all the advice, hope I can smoke a good one!

    What Is the Most Unusual Item You Have Smoked?

    Reading this thread has made me think of something...if I smoke some regular hosehold items that normally I just microwave or whatever, I'll have to eat them that way forever. And I don't always have time to light up the smoker and smoke everything from gum to hotdogs.

    Thawing meat question

    Also it's always good to leave it out of your fridge for a few hours before you're going to cook meat letting it raise to about room temperature so you don't have such a drastic change in temperatures too quickly. That's always true for cooking meats.

    Which Lump Do You Use?

    Earlier someone said, "In Omaha you should be able to get Best Choice Lump which is Associated Wholesale Grocers (Kansas City, KS) own brand." I would love to pay $4 for 10# bag, currently, cheapest I can find is $5.27 for 10# of Royal Oak @ Walmart...and I hate Walmart. Anyone in Omaha...

    royal oak charcoal

    At Dollar General? How much was it? Royal Oak 10lb bags are 5.27 at my local Walmart. That seems about the right price for what should be 20lbs.

    Yah, that's more what I want anyway is free fuel. I don't want to cut down a Apple tree and burn all of it for fuel and flavor. I want something that won't impart any flavor but provide some good heat and then add my flavored wood of choice for flavor. Good to hear that Cottonwood doesn't add...

    Master Dman, how do you know what trees are what? I see downed trees all over but I have no idea what they are so I'd hate to just cut'em up and take'em home and have it ruin my meat. And in the winter, there's no leaves to help with finding out what the trees are.

    Thx drlouis, good to see there's quite a few Nebraskans here. If any of you Nebraskans or western Iowegians(?) know places to get smoking woods I'd be more than willing to travel to get it. I have family around Grand Island and friends in Kearney so I cover most the state. PLMK

    Iowa Folks - Where ya gettin your Hickory?

    I'm in Omaha and would drive a couple hours to get a trunk full of wood if I could get in on any of this. Please let me know if you can spare any. I'm just looking for any kind of a deal, I hate buying my wood from stores.

    Hey Bowvalley, know anyone around eastern or south central area who sells cheaper smoking woods? I would like to go to all wood smoking and get entirely away from charcoal except just to start my fire.

    Stupid Question from a Newb

    Cured Apple? Sorry, but what is "cured wood?" Do you know people or is this wood on your property? I'd be willing to pay for it, but normally when I look for wood, people want to sell like truckloads of it...I don't have storage space for all that.

    Newb in Nebraska

    I've only smoked once, I did a 5lb brisket that ended up somewhat tough but smokey and still pretty damn good, and some pork ribs. I didn't have a temp gauge, so keeping my temp was impossible. I've since ordered that and hope my next experience will be a little better. I have some friends...

    Newb in Nebraska

    Hey, my name is Gabriel, I'm 28, and I live in Omaha, Nebraska. I just started smoking recently after wanting a smoker for several years. My friend's dad always smoked food around holidays and I always wanted to learn how to make food that delicous. I have a Charbroil Silver Smoker...

    Stupid Question from a Newb

    By "lump charcoal" do you mean the normal store bought charcoal or the natural charcoal? Do they burn hotter? Also, for a smoker that is about 3ft long and about 1.5-2ft deep, how many briquettes do you think I need? I started out with a chimey full to get them going right, and after no...

    Stupid Question from a Newb

    I have a pretty stupid question that I just can't find an answer to and don't know any smokers to ask. I live in Nebraska, and have only smoked once. I have an offset smoker, Charbroil brand I think, with a side fire box and something ridiculous like 728"sq of smoking space. My first smoking...
