    Using leftover turkey - Please share your ideas and recipes!

    Right now is the perfect time to buy turkey. Stores are marking down prices to move the merchandise due to over ordering. I usually never buy a turkey before Thanksgiving. Patience and purchasing after the rush, it tastes better knowing I didn't have to pay full price. Got a deal on turkey...

    Brine & Rub recipe's for a Diabetics & High Blood pressure

    I don't think Splenda would work out too good. Somethings aren't meant for Splenda, and I think meat is one of them. As far as other chemicals go I would think Potassium Nitrate or Salt Petre as a replacement for Sodium Chloride. Potassium Nitrate is carefully regulated and may be hard to...

    smoked tater skins

    After I finish my tater I take the skin that's left over, smoker is still hot, load with whatever and through it on the smoker and just about forget about it. Smoker maybe at about 150-200, so I let it go for while, check on it about every 1/2 hour or so, and then take if off when I think it's...

    Pre-burn explanation

    I'm sorry if I'm off subject a bit, but here it is. How I intend to do my charcoal production. I preburn my oak for coals (especially if it's a bit green), and use them instead of continuously adding hardwood charcoal, It's more labor intensive, but the rewards are far less expensive for me as...

    Can't get your Brinkman R2D2 Hot enough

    Heck, I scavenge the dumpsters in the apartment complex where I live, and find all sorts of useful things for my smokers. I very seldom buy anything new anymore, I believe in recycling most everything. Yesterday, I found a calibratable Brinkmann thermometer for my larger smoker. I also picked up...

    Can't get your Brinkman R2D2 Hot enough

    Now this is what I do. I take a small hickory log (ususally from a branch, like 1½" in diameter by 5-6" long, and put it in the charcoal pan on top of hot coals (see if it burns and temps stay where you want them). Less charcoal and more wood allow for more flavor with less fuel. After having...

    Can't get your Brinkman R2D2 Hot enough

    I have a circle of 3/8" holes on my Cajun Cookin' little smoker and it works okay. No damper on top yet, I use aluminum foil plugs.

    Probe(s) into chamber mod

    I use a cork I found at a garage sale, 10 for .25, and cut a slot down the length to the middle. It works great for me. You could drill a hole in the middle big enough to allow the probe to go through, and for multiple probes maybe drill a 5/16" or 3/8" hole. Hope this helps anyone. Pop a cork...
