    New Smoker

    Personal experience...USE CHUNKS. Don't waste your money go with chunks for smoke. Chips work best when grilling. I like Noah, foil now because.....IT WORKS. I have saved some cooks, and have never ruined a cook by foiling. Some will tell you that to foil is to cheat, but that is up to you...

    3-2-1 recap

    Remember that 3-2-1 is only a guide.... i generally let the ribs cook for about 3 hours, waiting for the meat to pull from the end of the bones. I spray every hour on the hour, I toss 4-5 chunks of wood on the charcoal pan on the WSM. Take the ribs off and wrap in a foil cocoon. I used to...

    Newbie Comin On Board

    Welcome Jill, Grab a cold one and jump right in. Planning to smoke some salmon. Light flavor on the smoke allows the fish to be tasted. I have used hickory, and have heard that pecan is another good one. I don't think you would want to use something like a mesquite on fish.

    Happy Smoking Frome Central NY

    Steve welcome, nothing like grabbing a cold one, and going out to play with the smoker. Remember, if you are looking, you aint cooking. Did the chicken taste good? did you get a sense/smell of smoke while eating it? Most important, if you were in a restaurant, would you order this meat...

    Saints vs Cowboys Tailgate party

    That is a nice rig, and a great report. I would not attempt to handle a cook of that size, but to each his own. Hope you have better luck on your future cooks, and would love to try out some ribs from the dragon. Do you have any idea of what stage of production you were in when the picture...

    Greetings and Salutations

    Welcome, grab a cold one. As you get the hang of your "dragon" you will invest in an inexpensive digital camera. that way you can smoke some meat, rush into the house grab the camera and rush outside to get pics of the meat on the grates, and all the steps to the table.

    Butt or picnic shoulder

    It is called pork butt when I put it on the table, I think it is a picnic butt in the wrapper. I think the shoulder sits a little higher on the "leg". One of the "butcher" / farm guys can explain it better. I have only seen live food twice in my live. Once, visited my grandma in Oklahoma on...

    Foil at 165 or not

    I have never done a Pork Butt and not foiled. I would think if you get tasty, tender, juicy meat with a smokey flavor. When you put a platter of meat on the table and go back into the kitchen to grab a cold one, only to come back to the table and the platter is EMPTY !!!! If you have no idea...

    Why I like This Forum

    Just getting started

    This is the smoker I suggest to everyone who asks me. (I know you did not) I do not work for Char-Broil or Home Depot,. I just think it is a very good model to start with. the cost is good, and it is easy to work with. They also have electric models, and you can search for propane smokers...
