    Smoking Split or Whole Chickens

    Mike, Check out the pics and posts in the poultry section called "Cornish Hens Beer Can Style" by crazyhorse and others. You can use a full size can of your favorite beer or Pop (soda / soft drink / trendy chemical refreshment) and sit the whole chicken, wings and legs tied up (if you're into...

    New To Smoking A few Questions

    I almost always put a pan under the meat when cooking. You can put it in the bottom or on one of the coal grates, just keep water or juice or whatever you use in it. The baffle I use is a piece of bent sheet metal that I've drilled holes in and hang it on the bolts that hold the fire box to the...

    Smoked Salmon with Citrus Glaze

    Earl D, I was wondering if you've found that recipe for Maple glazed Salmon yet. I'm thawing salmon tomorrow for Sat. and want a couple of ways to fix it. Thanks in advance. Hoosiersmoker

    New To Smoking A few Questions

    Johnny, Lump charcoal is definitely the way to go. I've tried a great variety of fire sources in my SNP Pro. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish you will want to stick mostly to hardwoods like oak and hickory but be careful how you use them or you can get too much smoke. I have a fire...

    Smoked Salmon with Citrus Glaze

    I finally got the pics from my friend. I ended up with 6 or 7 or these big fillets. My son and I (I'm the one on the right :P ) had a great time catching and then eating some of these. I will definitely try the Citris Glaze when I thaw fillets next time. I mentioned in another post that the...

    Cool butcher in Frankenmuth MI

    I had the opportunity to go to Frankenmuth MI. this week and, after seeing Bronner's Christmas shop - the largest in the world (so big it's overwhelming), I took time to walk around and checked out Kern's Meat Market, a little old meat market on the main drag. Along with all the expected misc...

    Smoke roasted Lamb

    There is a fairly large Greek Orthodox Church north of South Bend IN and they have an annual Greek Festival at which can be found some of the best food known to the world! Among the treats available is sliced roasted lamb. They use large "oil drum" smokers to spit roast the lamb halves over...

    Char-Grill Amarican offset smoker

    Crazy horse is on the money with the inverted pan method. The Brinkman has a shorter pan so it doesn't go all the way across the cooking area, but same result. :idea: I have a baffle that just hangs from the bolts that hold the fire box to the main body of the smoker. I installed longer bolts...

    First Rib Smoke!

    :?: Does anyone use the paper towel method of removing the membrane from ribs? Separate the membrane at one end and grab it using a paper towel for grip and just peel it off. :?:

    Smoked Baked Potatoes

    There's a rib-joint here in town that has the best red potatoes I've had. After I found out that I know the owner, I asked him what the recipe was. He wouldn't tell me. So like any good neighbor I worked long and hard to repilcate it: 1 Doz. (or so) Red potatoes cut in 1" cubes, skin on...

    Pork

    Most of the scare from Trichinosis has since been dispelled by the more modern techniques in raising pork. Todays methods involve stricter adhesion to prodominantely grain feeding and eliminate the danger of many conditions and diseases from the older methods of feeding such as slopping or...

    brisket

    The meat is all gone but the pics remain. Here are the pics of the brisket/shoulder. Let me know if you see anything wrong or anything I could change. I've been smoking a long time but we can all learn and get better. -Senor Harv, Thanks for the info. I downloaded IrfanView (its free) and...

    brisket

    I guess this is sort of a cross post since it's about a brisket and a pork sholder (Our stores call them pinics?) on an off-set chrcoal smoker. My mother-in-law hurt herself this week and was unable to cook much, so I volunteered some pulled pork and brisket to get her by for a couple of days. I...

    Pizza

    I know this post wasn't directed to me specifically, but I hope the info is helpful. As with many discoveries, I accidently found a good recipe for pizza dough that works well in a smoker/grill. I started with Jiffy pizza crust mix and accidently doubled the water. Not wanting to waste the mix...

    Beef Marinades / Mops

    Over the past 15 years or so I've developed a variation of a fairly basic all purpose marinade / mop. I used to use it exclusively as a marinade for steaks (which is great for a really short soak) but have varied it slightly to use as a mop for brisket and roasts. 1 1/2 C Good brewed Soy Sauce...

    Smoked Salmon with Citrus Glaze

    Anyone that smokes and/or grills that doesn't have access to any truly fresh fish needs to cultivate relationships with those that have boats or some other direct access. And those of us near such areas, (i.e. coastal areas, lakes etc.) need to share info, and maybe even a filet or two, with...

    Smoked Salmon with Citrus Glaze

    I "caught" a lucky break this Sunday and went fishing on the big lake (Lake Michigan). We pulled in 7 Kings weighing between 10 and 15 lbs. (I'll try to post pics) and thanks to you guys we'll have a veriety of ways to prepare them. My favorite for Salmon so far is: Butter Lemons Onions Salt &...

    Hey Kids...What do you think of the Brinkman Pitmaster Delux

    I'm new to this group but am enjoying the discussions so far. And Jeff, I really dig the new site too. About 1987 I got a Webber grill as a wedding present. After about 6 years of messing about and learning how to properly tend a fire, I was able to turn out a good slab of meat or...
