    what is the best cut of steak ?

    I reverse grill the rib steaks.  I smoke them at 180 degrees until an IT of 110 degrees.  I have a gas grill that gets very hot.  I put them on the grill for about 1 minute on each side.  These come out medium rare.   I only use salt and course ground pepper.   John

    Newbie wants to smoke salmon

    The best advise I can give you, is don't over cook the salmon.  Its done at 135 to 140 degrees.  I would cook it indirect.  I would coat the salmon with a little soy sauce.  Putting it in foil skin side down.  Hope this helps.  John
