    Meatloaf

    That pan also works great for smoking fajita meat and "kabob" meat. With the fajitas just throw meat and veggies in and smoke or grill away, very yummy!

    Meatloaf

    For those reading this that don't have that pan. Take a cheap foil pan and poke some holes in it, you'll get the same effect (I'm all about using what I have on hand instead of buying new equipment.)

    No Salt Rub

    Oooooh, I like this. I'm not big on salty foods and this sounds great. Let me ask you this though how spicy or hot would you say it is? My crowd isn't very big on spicy food and with the chili powder and cumin in there it makes me think that I'd have to cut those down to please the Midwestern...

    Beer Can Vs. 1\2 chickens?

    Thanks for the great advice guys. I think I'll go with the spatchcoking. This sounds like the best way to go with all the cooking we have to do this weekend. We're catering our friends parents wedding anniversery and we've got our hands full with 8 chickens and 4 big pork loins. I plan on...

    Best place to get BBQ Wood?

    Every once in awhile I've seen bags of chunk BBQ wood at our local hardware store and once even at the local wal-mart. If you can find it locally then you don't have to pay shipping charges.

    Smoking With liquids

    We use apple juice when we foil the ribs using a 3-2-1 method. Once all we had was a apple/peach/grape cocktail juice and it was pretty good too. I'd say use any fruit juice that you have on hand and you'll enjoy the results.

    Howdy Mike and welcome. You've found a great site to learn and share all you know about smoking meats. What were you smoking on before getting the electric smoker?

    Something disturbing in my grocery store....

    I've used it as part of a jerky marinade. This was before learning about doing it in a smoker, but back when I just dried it on the fan.

    It dose sound like a good idea. Shipping costs on something that heavy could be a problem though.

    What should I do with this venison?

    We do alot of Venison Roasts. I usually brine or at least soak the roast first. You want to pull as much blood out as you can, basically just get it as pale as you can. If you don't have buttermilk we use a brine solution or just a couple changes of plain water. IMO the Italian dressing...

    French Apple Cobbler

    This sounds so good. Did you do yours in the smoker or oven? I have yet to try a cobbler in the smoker but I hear it's fantastic.

    Intro from Lexington, Mass.

    Howdy Don, check out the charcoal smoker threads to get some good advice about heat control and fire maitenece. I don't mess to much with the fire, that's Ben's job. I just prep the meat and carve it. I do agree with Larry that you should have some wood on from the begining to develop that...
