    Big smoke for a little smoker!

    Awesome smoke ! We have a charity event put on by a local Greek church, and I have to get my lamb "fix" there. They do lamb a few different ways, but cooked over open wood on a spot is my favorite. You have me inspired. I'll try some in the smoker. Thanks for posting.

    In the begining.....

    I had a Little Chief with a burned out element. We used to take it on camping trips and burn a few briquettes and wood chips. Smoke some trout for a bit, and finish in a skillet or wrapped in foil and baked under the campfire. Good times !

    torch

    A hand held soldering torch would work, but if you want to get serious, go to Harbor Freight and pick up a weed burner for $19.99. They always have a 20% off coupon on their web page, gets you down under $15.00. There's lots of other things to use it for around the house, too.

    Zipock vacuum seal bags....

    Thanks for your review. I just vac sealed a batch of jerky last night and thought a resealable pouch would be a great idea. What brand did you use, and where did you buy them ?

    Got some moose!

    Great neighbor to have!! I love a big pot of moose stew. The bottom round would work just fine for this. Trim off all the fat and silverside. Render down some pork fat or heat some bacon grease in a Dutch oven. Dice a sweet onion and saute in the fat. Shake cubes of meat in seasoned flour and...

    Smoked and dehydrated

    My son bought a Buffalo hot wings jerky mix at a booth at the state fair last month. Since he was coming over to help me install a new sink, we got a 10# batch of jerky started, so it could run while we worked. We used 90/10 ground beef, extruded through the Jerky Cannon. Ran smoke setting on...

    In the begining.....

    "Old Smokey" is long gone. It was a 6' x 6' crate. On the roof were two holes that had a plow disk we slid around to adjust air flow. It had rows of cup hooks screwed in the ceiling, and we used spring type clothespins to hang fish by their tails from the hooks. Brined over night, dried to form...

    You can get some on Amazon for $5 or so. Free shipping on Prime, or with a $25 purchase. There is always something you can add to get over $25. And they know it.

    In the begining.....

    My first smoker was pretty rustic. It was basically a big wooden packing crate. It sat a few feet up the hill from a cinder block firebox connected via aluminum drier tube. We fed it with branches from an abandoned apple orchard near by. So, in the begining....what kind of a smoker did you...

    Sometimes we fail.

    As I understand your cook, you cured a beef roast like a ham or bacon. It might have made decent buckboard bacon. Had you pickled it and steamed it, it might have been a lot like corned beef. When my kids were little, they would ask what was for dinner. When the answer was that we were having...

    Second brisket ever, great results!

    Did you have to wear a mask and carry a gun to get that for $1.99 ? We won't tell. Great looking brisket !

    Big Cook

    Among our family traditions, we fly the " missing man formation" at the dinner table. If you ever drop in, you will find an empty chair at the table waiting for you.

    Big Cook

    The ribs turned out just right...juicy, meaty, bur not fatty. I didn't get all the pictures I wanted. When the dinner bell rings, the family helps cut, slice and serve. They also make all the food disapear. Just get out of the way, you' be OK.

    Big Cook

    Money shot of the tri tip on the plate. The chorizos and flanken ribs getting comfortable. Both cook very quickly. One rack of beef ribs took a little longer. It's hard to fill up the Pit Boss. But cook times were staggered so everything was done at dinner time
