First chicken
Looks great! Smoked chickens are a favorite of mine too; they are cheap, cook somewhat quickly compared to other meats, and have almost endless ways of seasoning them. -
Smoking brisket in a foil pan
I have never tried to this for the entire cook on a brisket but I can compare it to another smoked item: meatloaf. Unlike some I do not poke or cut the foil pans and that smoke gets all the way through anyway so I wouldn't think you'd notice much of a difference on the meat however, trapping... -
Super fast Pork Butt?!??
I've had a couple that speed right along like that, even at temps under 230; its a nice surprise when it happens. -
First Smoked Whole Chicken
I used to brine but lately I've been mixing up some sort of a gravy base and letting it cook with the bird in an uncovered pan for the last couple hours of cooking and then thickening it up on the stove with some flour or corn starch. -
Hot fast brisket fail!
I'm a fat-cap-down cooker also and here's my personal reasoning for it: Every time I smoked something that had a nice fat cap on it I noticed at those slow and low temps the fat didn't really render much at all and just softened up. After cooking what I noticed was the meat under the fat cap... -

Smoked Tomato Candy! q-view
I'm doing a batch tonight (although in the oven) and honestly you can cook them longer if you want, almost until the edges are blackened and the tomatoes are shriveled up into little flat discs. The flavor is hard to describe but I promise you they won't last long on your plate. -
My 10 hours 4 lb brisket
I shutter to think there are people out there who don't eat right off the cutting board, lol. -
Smoked Chicken noodle soup?!
I make a "smoked chicken noodle soup" also. The carcass and bones are great to make your own stock with. -

best convection plate setup for offset???
I have measured mine and it is 1/4" thick; big hunk of metal, smells nice when drippings hit it too! ;)- austinl

best convection plate setup for offset???
I have a Horizon smoker with the factory installed "built-in" convection plate and it works great. Their arrangement of holes lets the smoker breathe easily and the thick plate evenly distributes heat. I have two thermometers on either side of the cooking chamber and if I adjust adjust the...- austinl

Lots of irons in the fire today!
That is very interesting; I wonder why it would be different in the chimney and in a smoker. I guess the only way to see for myself is to try it out. Like yourself I haven't tried it the other way either because it was so easy to add preheated charcoal once an hour or so because of the design... -

Lots of irons in the fire today!
Question about the charcoal here. I also use charcoal and a mixture of smaller pieces of wood in my smoker (although I have a side firebox so adding more fuel is extremely easy and as such, has never been a hassle). I have never used this "minion" method because I didn't care for the odor of... -

Super baby backs!
There are so many of those out there I'd bet a dollar anybody could find one they like. -
Super baby backs!
I prefer baby backs to spare ribs myself and those look tasty.
