    Just bought a WSM 14.5" and have a few questions

    Thanks Wade! I know for that price I couldn't pass it up. Now is there a difference in the way the meat smokes and or tastes if it is laying down on grates or in the rib rack?  If I can get a 12-14 pound bird in their that would be great but I am thinking 10 pound bird will probably be the...

    Eating smoking food increases triglycerides

    Richard - smoked meats is horrible for you! Now with that being said you MUST get rid of the smoker ASAP. Where do you live again? I'll drop by and grab that smoker from you?

    I'm done with the thermapen

    So i am fairly new to the smoking grilling thing and looking to get a nice thermometer in the near future and I want to get an accurate and dependable one. Is there any difference between the Lava Tools ($25) and ThermoWorks $100 becauses the 1 second temp reading or 3 second temp reading?

    First run baby backs

    How did you like the pellet smoker? Was this your first smoker? I have a 40" MES 2nd generation and I'm not impressed with the uneven heat and I am thinking about switching to a pellet smoker or the Weber Smokey Mountain.

    Making Lox a picture guide.

    One of our local supermarkets has a special this week for Alaskan Wild Sockeye Salmon fresh, never frozen for $9.99 a pound. I thought about buying some and cold smoking it but I am thinking previously frozen Salmon is probably a lot safer for cold smoking, right?

    HOMEMADE LOX WITH RECIPE & STEPS, PLENTY OF Q-VIEW

    Yes i total agree on the cure #1. I used to always think that 2-3 days cured in salt killed everything in the fish but i was totally wrong. I am very curious how sushi is made with totally raw fish, actually surprised it's even legal in the USA.
