    Salmon Smoking Time - Jeff's Latest Recipe

    I will be trying out Jeff's latest smoked salmon recipe tomorrow (Sunday) - the one he emailed out a week or two ago. Details are very good in the recipe, except I don't see any reference to how long the smoking step might take. He does state to smoke it until the internal temperature of the...

    Fire Box Lower Air Inlet Idea

    I have two salmon filets brining, two 2+ lb. rib eye steaks salting and just started my fire in the smoker. Hmmmm, looking forward to dinner! The smoked steaks will be a first for me. I took a few pictures of my somewhat recently installed air director for my lower air inlet vent on my firebox...

    Porcelain-Coated Cast-Iron Grate Maintenance

    I'm reasonably familiar with maintenance of uncoated cast-iron - seasoning and all that. I have porcelain-coated cast-iron grates for the cooking surface in my smoker. What is the best way to care for them? Should they be seasoned like bare cast-iron (I wouldn't think so). If not, then how...

    I looked at your drawing and it appears that you are considering building something that is pretty darn close to the design of my brick smoker. In this thread:  "New Doors & Top for Old Brick Smoker"  I posted a bunch of pictures of my smoker. Perhaps looking at those will give you some ideas...

    build help

    I'm FULL of ideas! BUT, first we need more details about your existing structure. A few more pics from different angles and a couple inside shots would be very helpful. It looks to me like there's some good potential here. One initial thought though is the construction of the large stone base of...

    Tuning Plate Utopia!!!

    It's some 14+ hours later now since those photos were taken and I found out I wasn't quite tuned. After the CC thoroughly got up to temperature, the left side (where the inlet from the FB is) got warmer - 20 degrees warmer than the right side. So I pushed the tuning plates around a bit more and...

    Tuning Plate Utopia!!!

    WOW!!! I installed my tuning plates on my offset masonry smoker that I recently upgraded with a new top and doors. Below a photo of the results! The two temps are from BBQ probes at each end of my smoker. I fed the probes in through small holes I drilled into the rear of the CC. Below is...
