    First Smoked Chicken Quarters 18.5 wsm

    Yes, I will definitely eat more of these. They were so delicious and most importantly moist. I never liked them before but I never tried them smoked. Smoking gives it a whole new flavor profile which I enjoyed. I can't wait to try the thighs soon. Will keep you posted for sure. Thanks for the...

    Sigh...thighs again

    Same here, slim pickings at the supermarket. Wife bought me some quarter and thighs as I had been saying I wanted to try and smoke some for the first time. Thighs next weekend though unless work stops for quarantine. That case would be sooner.

    First Smoked Chicken Quarters 18.5 wsm

    Tried my first chicken quarters today and I must say it was better than I thought. I'm usually a chicken breast guy but I have seen some really good looking posts here with quarters and thighs. Rubbed with my own poultry rub I typically use for turkey and set in the fridge for about an hour or...

    Weber Kettle vs WalMart brand

    They perform pretty well. My brother has one and it performs just as well. Get the best you can afford is my suggestion. Before getting a wsm I built one for 17 bucks. Walmart had their water smoker clearance for 9 bucks each. I bought two of them and used them to make one. The rest was simple...

    First time no water in pan

    Yeah I tried it and it works well. I have a smoker I built that I switched out the water with sand for when I do high temp cooking like chicken. I just tried the empty water pan on the wsm because it struggles when it's cold out where I live. It performed well and the food was good. I was a...

    First time no water in pan

    So woke up around 6am today and started on pulled pork. Rubbed the 4lb boneless butt, shoulder, and let it sit while I got the wsm up and going. I decided to run the water pan empty since it was going to be in the low 40s to high 30s. Placed a pizza pan I bought cheap at walmart on top of the...

    First Turkey Breast

    Awesome bird! The first time I smoked a turkey, half a bird, last year to try it wife loved it too. So she said from now on I'm in charge of the turkey for Thanksgiving Day and so forth. Haha. Nice job my friend!

    Hello dear Smokers!

    Smoked Turkey Half Breast

    No I didn't brine. Just rub and let it sit in the fridge for a few. Right before I put it in the kettle I injected with melted butter seasoning I made. The breast was very moist and had flavor throughout. I've never really bothered with brine mainly because I'm lazy. Looking forward to hear...

    Smoked Turkey Half Breast

    Wife picked up a half turkey breast as that's all they had at the grocerie store as everyone is panic buying again. Anyway added some herbs and spices from the cupboard and let it sit in the fridge for 3 hours. Dont know why the pick of the seasoned bird looked so bright in the pic! Also melted...

    Rack of raw ribs left out overnight. Still safe to smoke?

    Don't take the chance and just toss them in the trash. Not worth getting sick my friend!

    Thermometer Preferences

    I purchased a inbird 2sa cheap 30 bucks from amazon it has two probes and has been really good so far. I needed it basically for the pit temps alarms but i also have a prograde bluetooth probes for my meats. Been using the Inkbird for the last 10 or so cooks and it's been flawless.

    Pork Shoulder Texas Crutch question

    I understand this but here in new England, Massachusetts where i live, no one follows these nomenclature. I live about 3 miles from the farms where the majority of meat comes from in our supermarkets. Boston butts were coined here, Boston Ma, and have always been referred to this. I have asked...

    Pork Shoulder Texas Crutch question

    Is this for the forum? Because the butchers and supermarkets where I live still call them Boston butts!
