New Member, New Smoker, 1st Brisket
That looks great, what temp did you cook it on and how long did it take till finish? I haven't attacked a brisket yet, but I'd like to soon. -
are twigs ok for smoking?
Thanks for the quick advice. I guess I'll save all of the prunings. The orange tree needs some smaller pieces taken off, I guess I'll save those too And Dave, I read in a different thread that green wood can do the creostote (sp?) that gives a bitter taste that would go away when fully...- cppbrian

are twigs ok for smoking?
I just searched the forum and didn't find an answer to if there is a minimum diameter of branch/twig for smoking. I am going to prune my peach tree in a couple of weeks when the leaves finish dropping. The problem is that it is a small tree and the thickest branch that i am trimming is only...- cppbrian

Campers??
I normally cook over the campfire or in dutch ovens on coals. Sometimes I fire up the propane stove to boil hot coco or to heat up oil for frying. One place where I go fairly regularly requires an above-ground contained fire. So I have a stainless steel washing machine barrel that i set on...- cppbrian

Some of us will die.
I've heard that if you cook your meat in a smoker with a water pan that it reduces the 'risk' associated with the carcinogens from burning animal fat. In kalifornia just about every restaurant you go to has a prop65 warning that the food they are serving you may cause cancer. But since the...- cppbrian

Crispy ABT's?
As others have said, when I cook my ABT's over the grill on a high heat they retain the crunch like a fresh jalapeno. I personally like the softer cooked pepper taste. When I bite into a crunchy pepper ABT the hot filling likes to squirt out. With a softer pepper it seems to be cleaner to eat...- cppbrian

Best first smoked dish?
wow, ya'll answer quickly. I read that the briskets took a while, but i didn't guess they were more work, my MES has a built in meat probe which should make it easier. (plus I checked the price today at Costco, and they were almost $3/lb, so I'll wait for a good steal later on). I'm liking the...- cppbrian

Hello, I am getting a MES 40" smoker for Christmas and my family wants me to make something with it for new years. (They actually wanted me to make something with it before Christmas, but I wanted at least one thing to open up Christmas morning) I am wondering what a good first chunk of meat...- cppbrian

What's Your Favorite Stuffing?
My favorite is cream cheese with sun dried tomatoes, fresh garlic, fresh rosemary, basil, and oregano. My wife just likes plain cream cheese I like to use red jalapeños and cut the pepper lengthwise and stuff the halves before wrapping in bacon. I like the heat of a whole jalapeño, but it...- cppbrian

Hello, my name is Brian and I love BBQ and smoked foods. For a while I've pretended to smoke foods by throwing soaked wood chips wrapped in foil on the coals of a BBQ. For Christmas I'm getting a masterbuilt 40" electric smoker, and would like to get into making good smoked foods. Seems like...
