    First Spareribs smoking....

    Then my smoker started smoking in a way I'd never seen. I didn't throttle back early enough on the firebox and the sucker got so hot that the paint on the outside seriously blistered, burned and flaked off. So a question here, what kind of paint should I paint over with? (This, true believers...

    First Spareribs smoking....

    I bought 2 bags of Blackwood Canyon Lump Charcoal at the Meijer as well. (I generally do not shop at Wallyworld if I can avoid it because of their anti-union stance. That, however, is another story.) The link for the review of the charcoal is as follows...

    First Spareribs smoking....

    The meat. Bought some spareribs, about 3# from Meijer this AM, they were selling them for about $1.50/ LB or so, it was a $5 rib. My rub was just an off-the shelf McCormick Pork Rub, not bad. Really didn't let it sit on there for very long (remember, I had just bought the SR this AM) and threw...

    First Spareribs smoking....

    Just pulled 'em out of the foil, they're in the 1 of the 321 stage. Lookin' good. I've done pictures at every step of the way, but I will probably put 'em all together, write my story and throw everything up there at the same time.

    First Spareribs smoking....

    Got my first spareribs on right now. (I'm a teacher, so I have a few weeks left of smoky freedom heh!) I've proved my ability with BC chicken, figured I would move on. I will post pics and updates as things progress, going to use the 3 2 1 method. Already I've had a fiasco...more later.

    Pics from last weekend...

    Did another bird and my first fattie, though it was a "Pilgrim's Pride" turkey sausage from Walmart, I think. It wasn't too bad and had a nice smoke ring. Unfortunately I couldn't get a pic of it (Got eaten too dang quick).

    Avocado Dipping Sauce

    Just whipped it up. The chicken is still going, but.... the sauce is good. However, I think that there's too much Worsterchire (or however it is spelled) so I added a bit of soy. The sauce was too sweet, so I think next time less brown sugar. I'll let ya know how it is on chicken.

    That's pretty. The weekends are so much fun around here. The weekdays are more theorizing, the weekends are all action! :)

    Stupid question about lump & chimney use...

    Alright. I said it was a stupid question, but here I go anyways. When I use (gasp) briquets in my chimney, common wisdom says don't put 'em in until they ash over. Right? Also, they pretty much hold their shape while they burn in the chimney. When I use lump & get it started, I fill the...

    smoking a turkey for first time tomorrow!

    Cajun-- what's the rule of thumb for a turkey (hours per pound etc). I was thinking of doing one next weekend and wanted to have my research done so i would be ready for the bird to thaw.

    Apple Wood Chips!!!! You'll never guess where I got 'em!

    First, let me just say I've only smoked with Mesquite and Hickory. They're great, but man are they....smoky. I was looking around the local Mejiers and I found a bag of apple wood chips! It was about $2.99. I threw some in a foil packet in the good 'ol silver smoker....and whew...that is the...

    Briskets & Butts

    Doug- when you do the brisket on the Brinkman electric, couple of tips. I did one, but I finished it in the oven...because it was tooc cold out. Do it now (as in summer) Put the smoker in the sun (always helps) Start early!

    First Smoke EVER!

    thanks. hey, I was wondering, aren't there plans on line for the mods to the silver smoker? where are they? also, what about putting in a few bricks or stones or something in the firebox (or even the smoking chamber) to act as heat sinks for the whole rig? They could capture the heat and...

    First Smoke EVER!

    I used hickory. The only two kinds of wood I can get (chips or chunks) is hickory and mesquite at the local Lowes.

    First Smoke EVER!

    Alright, it wasn't my first smoke ever, first smoke on the new rig, a Charbroil Silver Smoker. The old rig was a Brinkman electric water smoker. The bird was about 5 lbs, and in the past I used a molasses/ pickling salt brine...this time I didn't brine it at all. I filled a Canada Dry Gingerale...
