    Welcome to the group. Having a ready supply of wood is great. Just watch you don't use stained, painted or glued wood. Don't want those going into your meat. Some woods that are dried for wood working can burn up fast and not give a lot of smoke flavor. Might be good for your heat source but may...

    Rookie from Louisville Kentucky

    Welcome to the group. One of the first things I ever smoker was a turkey breast. I don't think I had a recipe and surely didn't have this forum for help. I just kind of winged it and it came out fine. I use cherry wood and orange juice in the water pan I know that, but don't think I used a bit...

    New here from Sacramento

    Welcome to the group. Built my own smoker from a 125 gallon air compressor. Very happen with the out come. Plenty of room for my needs. Have done a 100lb pig in it. Holds more then 9 slabs of ribs. Last smoker would only hold 3 slabs, still have and use it but can't bet the new one. Good luck...

    Just getting started.

    Welcome to the group. One issue I have with using high heat and a lot of smoke flowing is, you can sear the outside of the meat at higher heat and not allow the smoke to penetrate. Also heavy smoke can leave a bitter taste to the meat. Light smoke gets the flavor into the meat better and...

    Second Smoke -Beef Brisket

    Welcome to the group Smokey Gus. Brisket is one of my favorite things to smoke. I mostly do whole briskets point and flat together they normally cook 10 to 12 hour at @225. I like to bring them to @140 to 150 then place in a foil pan and add a can of beef broth, cover with foil and back in it...

    Another new member..

    Welcome to the group. Doesn't hurt to go a little bigger then you normally need room for. Never know when you are going to need the room and then don't have it. My last smoker only held 3 slabs of BB's so I made a bigger one. It's 65" X24" with 2 racks. Have used it for ribs and just did a whole...

    Welcome to the group. I was a Fire Fight/EMT-I for 10 year and with that said be safe out there. Good luck with the Brisket. If you have done Ribs  and Tri Tip you'll do fine just a longer cook is all.

    New member, some dutchguy

    Welcome to the group glad to have you join in. I know what you mean about a smoker being to small. I had that problem myself, but the one I would cost to much for me. I built me own Reverse Offset stick burner from a 120 gallon air compressor tank and it's just right for what I need. Cook a...
