    GOSM - Whers the smoke?

    you need to have those bottom vents open at least a little. Oxygen needs to be able to get to the wood; otherwise there will be no combustion, and therefore no smoke.

    GOSM - Whers the smoke?

    Yes, you need oxygen to be able to get to your wood to support combustion. Too much O2 and your chips/chunks will flame, too little and there will be no smoke at all. What you want is just enough to let your wood smolder and produce a steady stream of TBS. Again, this is just something that...

    GOSM - Whers the smoke?

    Yeah! Hickory and Mesquite will have a strong smoky flavor. Pecan is a nice alternative; still smoky but not as strong. Fruit woods such as apple and cherry will have a milder, sweeter taste. Just experiment until you find what works for you and your family's taste buds. Personally, I like...

    GOSM - Whers the smoke?

    More smoke is not better; especially lots of white billowy smoke. If you are producing that then your meat is going to have some creosote on it. The creosote will impart a bitter taste and a tingling sensation. I don't know for sure, but wouldn't be surprised to find out that the creosote...

    My Craigs List find

    Somewhere on that smoker there should be a model name/number/serial number/etc. Take that info and do a google search of "brinkman name/number/serial number owner manual". You should find an online owners manual that will answer your questions.

    Stupid question about ribs

    Cool! Thanks for the info everybody. I was lucky enough to be buying my meat from a butcher who sold ribs sans membrane, but Costco is cheaper, and they too are also without membrane. What a happy day!

    Greetings from CA Bay Area

    A welcome to my friend from the Bear flag republic from a dude in the Sunflower state. You're in a great place here if you love smoked meat. You probably dig the tri-tip, and let me tell you it's every bit as good smoked as it is grilled, roasted, etc. I'd be interested in swapping tri-tip...

    Stupid question about ribs

    O.K., I'm feeling really dumb for asking this, but are the "pork loin back ribs" on sale at Costco baby backs? The place where I usually buy my meat just calls them baby backs, but Costco wants to confuse me. Feeling dumb, QueBall
