    Second hot smoke: Boneless pork loin

    Will do.  It just hit 140 at about 2 hours and 40 minutes.  I'm pretty happy, I didn't think I'd be able to get the air temperature into the 230-230 range, it peaked at one point at 244.  I think I have a smoker! -val

    Second hot smoke: Boneless pork loin

    About 2 hours in, internal temp is 127, the air in the smoker has been wandering around between 220-230 for the last hour or so (which, apparently, is all this setup can do).  It's been brushed twice with an olive oil/apple juice mix.  @Raptor, we'll see, if it hasn't gotten to 140 in the next...

    Second hot smoke: Boneless pork loin

    OK, I just started my second ever proper hot smoke.  I've got a 2.5 lb-ish boneless pork loin which I dry rubbed last night with something called "Almighty Spice" from The Meat Guy here in Japan.  It's a mix of, well, there's some rosemary, I think some oregano, salt, garlic, dunno exactly, but...

    First hot smoke: Salmon with Q-View

    Thanks to everyone for the kind words, but special thanks to Bear for showing how, I probably would have just dropped raw fish in with the heat cranked up to 220 if your recipe hadn't been at the top of the page just when I needed it. -val

    First hot smoke: Salmon with Q-View

    Time for my first proper hot smoke. I've fooled around a little bit with chicken breasts, but those were more grilled than smoked as I figure out temperature control in my little flowerpot.  For the record, there isn't any temperature control .  When I start, I can choose how plugged up the...

    Newbie mini flower pot smoker -Temperature Question

    Eric, Thanks for all the tips, as far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as too much information.  I'm still a little worried about balancing heat and ventilation, since I don't know if it'll go much over 200 degrees with the top vent hole open, but we'll see how that goes.  I read about...

    Newbie mini flower pot smoker -Temperature Question

    I got my thermometer in last night!  A Maverick ET-732, based on what seems to be the general consensus around here.  The oven and food probes seemed to be running 4-5 degrees (F) different in the open air, but when I tested them in ice water, and then boiling water, they both gave the same...

    Newbie mini flower pot smoker -Temperature Question

    In Japan, one log retails for about four dollars.  I'm ignoring the exchange rate for now, since I get paid in yen.  According to the labeling, one log should last between 3-4 hours.  So far, I've only done a half log burn, and that lasted for around two and a half hours, however, it got...

    Newbie mini flower pot smoker -Temperature Question

    Nice find Ahron!  I just checked (is my thermometer here yet? It shipped nearly four hours ago from the states!) and I've got a stainless steel bowl that will fit great in my smoker, I think I'll be in business next week. Is my thermometer here yet? -val
