    What's everyone cooking this weekend?

    I have a goose, a goose breast and two moose roasts for this weekend. Should be interesting since this is the first wild game to smoke for me.

    Pellets in foil

    Does anyone use wood pellets wrapped in foil for smoke as opposed to buying chips and chunks. If so, how do they compare to other sources and what about price comparison.

    fish rub

    I have used something called Island Spice Rub on salmon and it gives a great taste to other smoked foods as well. Mix 2 tablespoons chili powder, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cumin and 1 teaspoon cinnimon. Sounds weird but tastes great. For fish I ususlly put the rub on and...

    Adding a fire box to a Brinkman Smokin Pit

    Shipping cost might get up there. That side fire box is heavy.

    ALERT! "Just Set It and Forget It!"

    My son just bought a MES and had great success with his first smoke, salmon. I think I have him hooked on this smoking thing. I am also leading him to get involved in this site. So much great information and so many great folks.

    Does everyone prefer a vertical or horizontal

    My horizontal Brinkman Smoking Pit with sfb is the old version and thus has the thicker steel. I like it a lot and get great smokes on it.

    How long for Smoke?

    I just read a post this weekend that stated that meat takes smoke until the internal temp is at 120 degrees. After that it is just cooking. I guess this holds true for all meats but am not certain of that.

    First tri tip a success

    I had two tri tips and each was 3-4 pounds. Not sure why you got them done so quickly. I do know that my temps went down a bit and I had to stoke the fire to get them back up. I read other posts that said 275 for two hours would to the trick and get them to 140. I also wanted to slow them...

    First tri tip a success

    After getting input from this forum and adding my own twist I came up with the tri tip pictured below. The result was a winning taste treat. I marinated the tri tip in Wishbone Light Asian with Ginger Vinaigrette Dressing for 5 hours. When I removed it from the bag I left the dressing that...

    Stabilizing target temps

    Thank you so much, that is exactly what I was looking for. I have not been leaving the gap for the lit coals but have been just dumping them on the unlit ones. Your pictures spoke volumes in fire building. Very much appreciated.

    Stabilizing target temps

    Here goes, I have been using bricketts and lump in combination and also using just bricketts. The chimney is always wide open and the firebox does have a vent on the side. I have been starting with the charcoal basket half full of unlit bricketts and then adding anywhere from one half to a...

    Stabilizing target temps

    Sorry for the confusion, I am using a Brinkman Smokin Pit that I added a side fire box to. Seems that when I first start up I get temps in the 275 and up range. I have been opening the fire box to let heat out for a few seconds and then closing the vent. That seems to help but I was just...
