    Smoking on my birthday

    Thanks Deuce & oldschoolbbq.  I feels like I haven't smoked anything in a long time.  So, I found the best excuse.  I am also planning on doing salmon this Saturday, and in a couple weeks I'm going to bite the bullet and try my first brisket.  Wish me well.

    Smoking on my birthday

    How can I turn the heat down?

    You might want to do search on "stick burner" up in the search box.  I found all sorts of good advice and tips on method and temp control.  I am also using a Char-Griller with SFB.  You should also check out this thread...

    My 2nd salmon smoke--amazing results (with QView)

    I brined with cool brine in the kitchen--so basically room temp. But doing it colder in the garage would be fine. Just don't do it warmer or above room temp.

    My 2nd salmon smoke--amazing results (with QView)

    Hello Katie.  I'd be glad to share with you what I have learned from this very forum.  I learned what I know from some great folks who have posted before me.  AKhap is a member of smokingmeatforums.  After doing a bunch of research on this site, I decided to give his method a try.  You can find...

    My 2nd salmon smoke--amazing results (with QView)

    This last weekend I finally did my second hot smoked salmon.  I used AKHap's method again and got amazing results (again).  Here's a few pics (QView)... These aren't the best fillets of Steelhead I've ever seen, but they were the best I found on short notice: 90 minutes in the brine (no...

    Valley Oak--good for smoking?

    There is large street tree down the block from my house.  It apparently is a Valley Oak.  I just realized that it has been "red tagged" by the city as being structurally unsound and is scheduled to be removed.  But the notice also says that usable wood will be left out for the public to take...
