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.
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...
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.

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...
