Coffee mop for spiral hams
As spiral cut hams have a reputation for drying out during smoking, I have found a delectable solution that will keep them moist and tender without overpowering the ham flavor that we seek. I use this mop recipe on the half hour during the smoke and, since most spiral hams are pre-cooked, they...- emtee

170 lbs of Venison Jerky - starting today!
Dumb question of the day... Isn't a dehydrator just a very low heat fan forced oven? Why can't you smoke for two hours and then turn the temp WAY down and let it rest in the smoker until done? I have never made jerky, but I'm very interested in this thread because I want to do some. I have a...- emtee

The WOPR
I use one of the office type lamps that is essentially two long arms with springs to hold tension (Wally World- less than ten bucks). It sits in a base that I permanently mounted to the top of the unit and has a single pivot point. That way I can swing it around from the shelf table to the...- emtee

Smoke Vault 24"
Man, that's a good looking unit! If I had run across one of those first I may not have built my homemade electric rig. Happy eating.- emtee

I Hate This Site
I hate this site and I hate all of you who post to this site. I have become totally addicted to cruising all over every single page as often as I can, and you guys just keep posting cool things about cool stuff using cool methods . One of several things is going to happen- 1. I will get fired...- emtee

Other Hobbies
If my wife sees this I'll end up divorced. She has no clue how much money I actually spend on hobbies. I have a large garage that I rat around in anytime I'm not at work (I even throw parties in it and put up a Christmas tree every year), so here we go... No way. I started to list my...- emtee

Well, I muffed it
I've done the exact same thing, and I too tried to rescue the offending finned fillet... with little luck. So all I did with the rest of the batch was slice it quite thinly and use it on crackers (unsalted) with cream cheese spread. The cheese cuts the salt taste in your mouth and the thin fish... -
Wine barrel chips
OK, so I have a couple bags of wine barrel chips. Don't know why, but I bought em anyway. What the heck do I do with em now? Anyone ever used these chips? I've used the Jack Daniels chips, but never the wine.- emtee

My Homemade Electric Rig
You guys are just alright. I am quite humbled by your posts. And although my rig may be cool looking, I have many, many questions to keep you all busy. Now that I have the capability to either cold or hot smoke, the sky's the limit, so get ready for a barrage of inquiries... Stand by.- emtee

Water use in smokers
I appreciate all your responses. One thing I might point out is that my "experiment" consisted of nothing more than taste tests, although with the same meat cuts, the same wood type, and identical ambient conditions. Therefore, no real hard scientific data was collected or analized as was done...- emtee

Second Hand Smoke(r)
Mucho potential man! Trust me, once the neighbors find out about it and, if like me, you're dumb enough to let them actually TRY something from your rig, you'll have to start charging admission into your yard... kinda like I do now. You will get no peace Rock on.- emtee

Water use in smokers
I will probably continue to use water. But maybe the real question is- Am I nuts? Is it a waste of time to use water in YOUR opinion (and why)?- emtee

Water use in smokers
OK, so Iâ€8482m new here, but I may be opening a proverbial can of worms. Not really my intention, but Iâ€8482m just interested in your thoughts. Most of us have been smoking meats and fish for many years, and we certainly have our favorite recipes and methods. My "can-o-worms" involves the use...- emtee

My Homemade Electric Rig
Honestly, I probably should get a life. But I love to tinker. Actually the driving force behind this project was the ability to smoke enough meat and fish for a number of people. I have a salmon recipe that my friends think I should market. Well, after a quick talk to the local health...- emtee

My Homemade Electric Rig
First time adding pics. If they took, here are a few snaps of my rig. My daughter named it the Trojan Horse. It ain't much, but I call it my own. The stainless box is an old derelict food warmer from a catering outfit. It was discarded because the existing elements in the walls were all burned...- emtee

West Virginia Smoker
Hey folks. Mark here. New to your forum, but been smoking stuff for many years. I just thought it might be nice to yak with other obsessive and discerning meat eaters. I started out with a Lilâ€8482 Chef then graduated to a Brinkmann round unit. Neither one had enough oomph or space, so I built...
