    It's a shame you can't smoke with cedar. I once had some that was aged with cedar bows that was pretty good. I'm pretty sure that I see one of the AMZPS (I think that's the acro) in my future for smoking cheese.

    What is " a batch of mead"? Myself, I'd like to get to know a bit more about Tag alder smoked fish and cedar smoked cheese (possibly string cheese or provolone)

    New to the SMF.

    Timing is everything... First winter smoke (ever) for me is tomorrow. Doing the buttermilk brined turkey thighs using Jeffs rub on my modified ECB -brinkman. Anyway, like you I was looking to see if there was any info on time adjustments for smoking in 10-20 degree weather. Normally I'd guess...

    How healthy is your wood pile

    Hopefully this loads... Currently I have 8 full cords split and stacked plus another 6 on the ground. It's all oak and maple. Here's a pic of a 24*18 maple burel I'm working into a clock for my shop. The numerals are carved (hard to see) and I'll inlay them with coffee grounds in a clear epoxy.

    Cleaning MES Window Without Any Chemicals At All

    1. Very fine ash will also work. 2. If you have tough areas let the ash/water solution sit in the spot for 5 min. It helps dissolve the stain. 3. Be careful not to use ash from the bottom of the hearth as you might also pick up sand (from the bark) that will scratch. 4. If you do get a scratch...

    ECB too hot !!!

    Yeah, after it cooled down I fed in 6 briquettes and it maintained 240 for almost 2 hrs. I guess I also put too much lump coal in to start with. Learning!

    ECB too hot !!!

    Pulled the ribs at 145° and let them sit and then put them back in later so they'd finish up for dinner. Smoker is finally down to 240 where I added 8 briquettes and it's holding at 240. Meat is at 160 and climbing slowly even though I've coated them in sauce. Pulled them at 170. Pic below...

    ECB too hot !!!

    Put them on top. Filled water pan and put the ribs on. Couldn't get the temp below 280. What did i do wrong?

    ECB too hot !!!

    Very first attempt at low and slow so I decided to go with country style ribs just in case. Modified my ECB with a thermometer and a adjustable hood vent. Vent was closed. I loaded the pan with lump (cowboy) charcoal with 5 chunks of cherry. Chimney started maybe 15 Kingsford briquettes

    Basic course - Thanks!

    Re Jeff's book. Is his conversational style the same in the book as in his news letters - like pointing out country style rib differences (loin vs butt) temp differences wtc? Also, how many recipes are in the book?

    First shot at smoked cheese

    Living in Wisconsin, cheese is going to be a must do on my list but... Had a co-worker in Seattle who use to smoke Velveeta. Yeah, I know, cheep ol Velveeta. But I've got to say it was one of the best smoked cheese's I've ever had. Several bricks will be included if my smoker can be set that low.

    Basic course - Thanks!

    Retired 5 yrs ago and was given a Brinkman for my years of service (big spenders!). It's been collecting dust ever since. Came across the forum, got the 5 day course and downloaded the PDF. The course is great plus it's presented in a way that encourged me to give it a try. So far I've added a...
