    Question about pork loin

    I like to wet brine (like Pops https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/pops6927s-wet-curing-brine.110799/ ) Then smoke to 145. After they cool down slice some for chops, thin slice for a buck board style bacon.

    Very First Offset Smoker - advice needed

    First congratulations on your new pit. Yes spray everything inside and then fire it up. If you choose to oil the outside your pretty much committed to it since it will be difficult to get paint to stick afterwards.
