    Turning Pork

    Chisox post made me think of one other thing FWIW.........I always try to put the fat facing the heat source when possible (fat down in WSM) so if something happens and the heat gets away from me I have more protection for the meat.

    Turning Pork

    IMO depends on your smoker, if you got a hot spot or something that necessitates a turn then it kind of makes you do it. Otherwise, I put them on (any meat) and don't mess with it. I know some say fat up/fat down to start and flip part way, etc. but to me it doesn't seem to make a difference.

    MES and Smoke Rings

    I don't own and MES or any other electric, but will take a stab at this anyhow based on my understanding of how this stuff works. Generally you will have less of a smoke ring using an electric becuase you don't have any fuel burning giving off Nitrogen Dioxide, you certainly get some from the...

    What were you doing 10 years ago?

    10 years ago my daughter was 2 days old.........I was going through the normal new born routine. Can't believe she is 10 now.

    Do you get sick of your smoked food until a day or two after you smoke it?

    No doubt........and then to top if off your neighbors always offer up some of their stuff to try. Especially new teams that say "try this and let me know what you think". LOL I think the thought of eating any Q disgusts me. Have any pizza? A normal home cooking session is fine, but...

    Cristmas weekend chicken with Qview!

    Yeah, I have heard good feedback on it but have yet to try it. I miss having Rancher readily availble to run through the Stumps. Nice to have a good briq to use to avoid bridges in the chute. If you think of it, please share your observations on the ash production.

    Ham smoking help

    I'd run the temps on up there then unless your smoker can't/won't hold that temp. A lower temp won't hurt it any, but there isn't much to gain by going lower. If the outside does start to get darker than you wanted it to, just wrap it in foil for protection once it gets to the desired color.

    Yellow and green side dish screams succotash to me.

    Ham smoking help

    No temp listed on the package? Remember a smoker is pretty much just an oven with the option of adding smoke. If you can make it in an oven, you can make it in a smoker. Anyhow.......personally, I would run my heat up to about 300 and would guesstimate around 20-25 minutes per pound. I am...

    Temps too High in WSM - Can't Get Them Down

    Temps too High in WSM - Can't Get Them Down

    If you are sealed good and it isn't really windy out, your temps should settle down. Probably goes with out saying, but I will say it anyhow. Don't be afraid to close two of the vents and just keep only one open for adjustment.
