    First Smoked Salmon (First WSM run)

    Ready for the big time!

    Brian Smoking experience: couple of pork shoulders, turkey breast, chicken drumsticks, and wings all on a Weber mini.  I've loved the board for a while now (I have some posts) and just assembled my brand new WSM 18.5. So, I'm ready for the big time! I truly love this board and community and...

    Should I "season" my brand new Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker?

    Just to throw in my two cents, after reading the Virtual Webber Bullet and some board member's advice on not having to season my new WSM, I was on board with that.  HOWEVER, after getting it out of the box and assembling it, my hands definitely smelled of chemical.  So, I've decided to run it...

    Pork shoulder #2

    For my bachelor party tonight, I'm smoking two 2.5 shoulders.  I've done one successfully once, so here's my second try.  Basic rub again.  Hickory chips.  This time I'm using a chimney starter to get my coals ready which, now that my first set of coals are getting ready, I'm not sure why I...

    bone-in 4.75 lb turkey breast (amish)

    So, here's what I've learned from this forum and here's what I'd like to know still: People seem to really like the Tips Slaughterhouse brine recipe. I'm going to use that.  People seem to vary about the brining time from 4 hrs to 24 hrs. However, 4-5 seems to be safe.  In terms of cooking...

    First smoke ever in progress! (daily updates)

    Sorry to keep everyone in suspense. I literally ate right until I had to leave for work. I'll start at the end: it was one of the best things I've ever made. The 3rd best bbq I've ever eaten (Bennett's in Gatlinburg, TN and The Pit in Raleigh, NC). In the oven, I was only able to get it up to...
