    How to chip staves from a bourbon barrel

    I've used a machete, splitting maul and/or hatchet. I've even used a chisel and hammer. Never after the third beer, but usually after the second.

    Smoke and mirrors

    Wait, I just reread your post. Are you turning the chip loader over to dump the chips in to the chip tray?

    Smoke and mirrors

    I've had that happen as well. I usually dump them between smokes. Been using the smoker two or three times a week this month. I tried using the old half burned chips but didn't care for the flavor. It's likely that it's just in my head. I will occasionally light a couple of chips with a...

    QUESTION REGARDING CHIP LOADER IN MES

    The smallest chips I've used are the Cameron's products chips. I smoked salt with them, but they didn't seem to give me the results I wanted as salts should be smoked low. Don't know if that was part of it or not.

    multiple meats in the smoker

    Well, Christmas went of without too much trouble. I ended up compromising on temp. I brined the turkey and chicken overnight using 2 cups both salt and brown sugar for 1/2 cup worcerstershire, 1/2 cup soy sauce and added water to three gallons. Pulled the birds out about 7a, dried and rubbed...

    QUESTION REGARDING CHIP LOADER IN MES

    I've used really ground chips almost like sawdust, and large chips, but never pellets. I heard somewhere on here that the pellets smoke differently in the mes. It'll be good to hear more on this for my own knowledge.

    multiple meats in the smoker

    Ok, guess I didn't see that first. Will do on the q-view too. I find that in my case it's smarter for me not to think too much. However, I'm wondering if I would need to smudge the turkey (thick smoke in the beginning) with a four or five hour smoke time. My wife likes a heavier smoke flavor.

    I guess I'm actually doing it at 225*. Also, should I brine and inject marinade? What's the harm? Longer cook time? I'm calculating 7.5 hours for the turkey, 4 hours for the chicken and fatty. Maybe increase time based upon how many times I open the door and adding the marinades?

    multiple meats in the smoker

    Hello all, I am still quite new to smoking, so I figured I'd consult seasoned smokers. So swmbo decided that I should just smoke a turkey and a chicken instead of a turducken. This is fine by me, but I'll be doing a fatty as well. So 15# turkey, 8# chicken, and as far as I can tell the...

    Another turducken thread

    Hey guys, So now that I have the missus hooked on smokin, she's got high hopes for Christmas dinner.  She's asking for a turducken.  So I'm curious if it's possible to smoke it.  From what I gather, it would take a long smoke but in order to cook the bird(s) effectively without turning the...

    I broiled them for 20 minutes which turned out to be a tad too long

    Hey all, First time smoking and I went with yard bird leg quarters. The missus wasn't sure about letting me buy a smoker for my Christmas present, so I decided to show her it was okay. I brined the chicken overnight and threw together some spices to rub today. Hit it with mesquite at 250* for...

    very new to smoking

    Well, I just seasoned the mes last night and will be researching recipes and ideas while deciding what to try first. Thank you for the warm welcome.

    very new to smoking

    Hey all, I just bought a masterbuilt 30" electric smoker without the window. Got it assembled, now what. ;) I figured it'll be smarter for me to learn from others with more experience.
