    Newbie from NC

    There are a lot of smokers in the Raleigh area. They will be around pretty soon. I'm not much of a fisherman, but I here that the fishing is really good at Lake Saluda. In fact, the fishing is great everywhere around here.

    New here,could use a suggestion on new smoker

    The Webwe Smoky Mountain is a good way to start. It uses charcoal with wood flavor chunks. It is great to hold a constant temp. There are some tricks with the dampers and with the water bowl, but there is a Weber sub forum here that can answer a ton of questions. Good luck and good...

    wood newbie needs advice

    I use lump to get my initial bed of coals, I use mostly Oak for heat and cooking. I use my flavor wood along with the heat wood during the middle of the process. After I think that the meat has absorbed all the smoke that it's going to, I finish off with just the heat wood. I always pre-heat...

    White smoke versuses blue smoke

    I always cook with thin blue smoke around 250-275*. I use a good deep bed of coals and add 1-2 pre-heated splits every hour. If someone is using a wheel barrow full of wood along with a cooker full of thick white smoke, I'm going back to judging. I want to taste that meat, I just don't want...

    Oaklahoma Joe Highland newbie Baffle ????

    I know the tin foil baffle is not the way to go. A good heavy baking sheet should suffice. Be sure to angle it down about 30* to force the heat and smoke to be below the grate and not straight across. As far as the plates are concerned, I don't know about them. I like the convection plate...

    What is a good sauce for smoked Shoulder butt?

    I also like to use a finishing sauce when I'm pulling a butt. Being reared in NC, my finishing sauce is a little different from JJ's. I use a little more vinegar and apple juice with ground red pepper. I don't use the ketchup, tomato paste or liquid smoke. JJ's sauce sounds good, it's just a...
