Don't use any ole sand. No, not even patio/landscaping sand.
Go to Home Depot and get washed/screened sand. It must be free of any contaminants. It's sandbox sand. About three dollars plus at Lowes/Home Depot.
I use sand in my water pan. I used to use water and there is a thread regardling the fuel needed with water or sand. If I'm not mistaken it take mor energy to smoke with sand in the pan than water. I cold be mistakened, btut I believe that's what it said. The reason I use sand is to get to...
No not me.
Last time I cooked to an internal temp of 170°F I dried out the breast. I say use the breast to measure internal temp but go to 160-165°F, it will continue to rise after it is removed from the cooker. As for the smoking time, I dunno. I will be using 160°F breast internal temp. from...
Welcome to the forum.
I'm using a limb of a hickory that had fallen during Ivan and it was two years fallen but not to the ground, it was hanging. I'd take a chainsaw and chop it up look at it and decide if you want to use it. Some parts may be bug infested, or rotten, but a lot of it maybe...
I see. There is little room for access to the charcoal pan. The el cheapo I have is a Cookin' Cajun and comes in serveral pieces. I think you need to modify you smoker to allow for ventilation. This should help solve some of the problems with recovery time.

I used the Smoky Okie method for a brisket last week and by seperating the point from the flat (I had to becasue of the size of my smoker), and after searing and three hours in the aluminum pan I was at 176°F using smoker temp of 275-300°F. Another roughly two hours and the brisket was done, 200...
I don't think brining is not necessary for juicy turkey, salmon or anything else. Drop the salt and find other things that chemically achieve the same resultant. Such as lemon/orange zest, vinegar or kelp. We all know a brine is not a brine without salt. So forget curing , but there are recipes...
I like Chef Han's out of Monroe, LA. For about $3 you get 4 oz. of his Blackened Meat seasoning which puts Prudhomme's to shame, whereas Prudhomme gives you about 2 oz. for $5+.
I have Prudhomme's recipe.
