    She cut off the smoke ring!

    ahhh, I smoked some burgers last summer, and the wife took one bite and would take another, she said it wasn't cooked. They were all smoke ring. It was only burg tho'. brisket is another story. I'd be sad, but I'm having brisket for lunch right now.

    Cold weather wireless temp problem

    Are you saying the temp reading where the probes are connected read lower? or when it hits your remote unit, the temps read lower then what the main unit presents, or is this reading is lower as presented in the App? Have you contacted Thermoworks support? They are pretty good at helping out..

    Butcher paper vs aluminum foil

    The paper is suppose to allow your meat to breathe, and some smoke will get through the paper. Once wrapped in foil, your meat is done for adding smoke flavor. May as well just take it in to the oven to finish it.

    Has anyone tried cowboy briquettes for smoking?

    Hi from Central PA!

    Welcome from central MD. I have an A-MAZE-N tube smoker for cold smoking, don't even light a fire in the smoker, just the tube, outside temps have to be cool. I've done blocks of cheese and shrimp with it. comes out good. (shrimp goes in gumbo after smoking, makes gumbo most excellent).

    google "Lasagna Gardening" don't know if you have enough time, to get the method up and running, it takes a bit. but worth it. I would suggest getting a soil test done with whatever method you use to fill the garden, and tune it to whatever you want to grow. when I got my contractor grade...

    where to put the water pan?

    on my Char-Griller w/side firebox, I put the water tray under the meats smoking, steam helps tenderize and bowl collects grease. I've recently gone away from the water, and currently using a bowl of lava rocks and at other times a bowl of sand, trying to determine which is a better heat sink...

    Can I Freeze Them?

    freeze smoked stuff all the time, since wood is so expensive (no local trees on property). I try to maximize the smoker rack space and fill up as much as I can, freeze whatever I cant eat. have had no issues.

    Feeder fire

    Feeder fires use a lot of wood, so if you have ample wood supply, give it a try, otherwise I wouldn't recommend it. They do help in adding hot coals into the smoker pit when needed.

    Not much smoke flavor

    What was the temp u smoked at and for how long? Also, what wood flavor were you using? Some wood flavors like Alder or Oak are very mild and would not impart much wood flavor.
