    First Bacon Attempt

    OK, so the bacon is going in the smoker in about half an hour.  It's cured in a couple of ziplocs in the fridge for the past nine days following this recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/homemade-bacon.html I wasn't able to get a five pound block, but I did get two 2-1/2 pound blocks, so...

    Turkey* Smoked Stuffing?

    OK, I'm going to be smoking a turkey for the family around Christmas, and I just had a crazy idea that I'd like to check out for sanity/safety etc.  I smoke in an ECB, and when I do a turkey, I usually put water in the water pan (duh), but then I put a disposable aluminum foil roasting pan with...

    Baby Back ribs-live Q-view

    Aak, sorry for the overly long, no longer live update.  Things didn't go so well; this is my first time trying to do "low and slow" in my modded ECB.  The last couple times I did ribs, I was using an electric DIY flowerpot smoker, which turned out great, and I've done turkeys in the ECB, but...

    Baby Back ribs-live Q-view

    Well, I haven't had the smoker out since Thanksgiving (I live in an apartment, in Japan, so even finding smokeable cuts of meat is a challenge), but I've got some vacation time today, so I'm smoking 4 racks of baby back ribs from The Meat Guy.  Two for tonight, and two are going into the fridge...

    "Precooking" a turkey before smoking

    Thanks to all for the tips, to answer FWIsmoker's questions (because they seem to be following a theme) I cook to temp not time, but I've heard that you should allow 1/2 hour per pound. Using a modded ECB in the mid-60s F (outside temperature)  with lump charcoal doubt I'll be able to hold...

    "Precooking" a turkey before smoking

    I'm going to be smoking a turkey this Thanksgiving, and so far, the largest poultry I've smoked has been pretty small (2 kilos/4-1/2 pound range).  This bird will be in the 10-12 pound range, so I'm looking at roughly 6 hours of cook time.  Unfortunately, that means the bird goes in the smoker...

    Wood chips and ECB question: What did I do wrong?

    I've previously made myself an electric flower pot smoker, but it's pretty small, so last year I bought a Brinkmann Smoke 'n Grill (ECB) smoker, knowing full well the problems it has and some of the mods to fix those problems.  I was doing pretty well with my locally available "Smoke Wood"...

    Newbie Smoked Christmas Chicken with Q-View

    So here in Japan, the traditional Christmas dinner is fried chicken thanks to a KFC ad campaign a few decades ago (Really.  Look it up if you don't believe me).  I decided to smoke a chicken instead, using my modded ECB in only it's third run (smoked a chicken back in November, did a small...
