    bvz12 (Qvestion on the Mackerel)

     I've never smoked mackerel, but I smoke my salmon to an IT of 145*F.  Is 160* a food safety issue or is it more for texture?

    Cuisinart 18" vertical smoker

    The water pan should be in place as you bring the smoker up to temp.

    Webber SMC temp question

    If you have water in your water pan, then it will lower the temp of the lower cooking grate by a few degrees.

    New Kettle grill

    No I don't soak wood chips, you just produce more steam, not more smoke.  I prefer to use chunks, but the tin foil method is the best way I know of to use chips with charcoal.

    New Kettle grill

    I set things up with the charcoal (I prefer briquette) on one side of the grate, and a drip pan on the other.  Over the fire I place a water pan , and the food over the drip pan, both on the cooking grate level.  That way I can baste the meat with its own drippings.  As far as wood goes I use...

    Cast iron dutch oven for the campfire

    One advantage of Lodge over Camp Chef, is the season that Lodge puts on their pans.  If you're new to seasoning cast iron that might be an asset.  I've used cast iron cookware for over 40 years, I might be bragging, but I've grabbed pans out of the scrap bin and cleaned them up, seasoned them...

    Down to Bidness

    Everything looks good from here.  Gotta like a smoker you can grill on, or is it a grill you can smoke on?  Anyway, so far so good, hope your weather dries out. That way you can get outside and have some fun.

    Cast iron dutch oven for the campfire

    Lodge is the gold standard, but I have some Camp Chef as well.  They are standing up to a lot of use, for less money.

    New member, Pulled Pork smoking question

    Wrapping in foil will help shorten the 'stall", it will keep moisture in the meat, and by that point the food is no longer taking on much smoke flavor. What rack isn't a huge deal, but putting it in the middle will allow good air/smoke circulation around the food. Top vent open to keep proper...
