    Newbie smoker

    Yup--good looking first cooks. They don't look like a newbie cook. Good luck choosing a new smoker. I'm new here, also--been Smokin' with a WSM for two years and just bought an Oklahoma Joe's Highland. So far its challenging managing the fire, but dang is it fun cooking with wood and the smells...

    2nd Cook on Oklahoma Joe Highland

    The chicken came out really tasty with a nice crisp skin. The one with just garlic salt and pepper for the wife was as expected and I really liked the cajun rub I used along with a late cook mop of sauce. Fire control still needs a lot of work----learning curve.

    2nd Cook on Oklahoma Joe Highland

    2nd Cook on Oklahoma Joe Highland

    I have a roaster chicken to smoke. Its now cut in half and brined to set in the frig for a couple hours. Gonna rub half with a store bought cajun rub and the other with a homemade rub of garlic salt, paprika, pepper, onion powder, chili powder and corn starch. My plan is to try to maintain as...

    First Brisket Smoke... 🤞

    This is what I did on my first brisket. It tasted OK, but was overcooked. Won't do that again.

    First cook on OKlahoma Joe

    OK folks---this was a very good first cook on the new smoker. Fire control and temp management needs some work, but the result was very good. I would not say great. I got fearful of overcooking and took them off 30 minutes early and the temp had dropped off from desired in the final 30 minutes...

    First cook on OKlahoma Joe

    So I got the chance to get somewhat of a handle on fire management while burning off the crap and then a second fire for seasoning. We will see. I am using real chunk charcoal and pecan from my own property. As well as some store bought chunks of hickory.

    Got me a new smoker

    My thoughts on this revolve around the need for electricity--which is why some years ago back home I switched back from a pellet stove to the wood stove and put the pellet stove out in the shop. Of course smoking food isn't as vital---or is it? :-)

    Got me a new smoker

    Congrats--that looks like quite a smoker. Can I take this thread to ask why a pellet smoker? Why have they gotten to be so popular?

    Intro

    Yup--my better half loves these. I get extra points when I cook 'em. Its really better to seal the ham in with a slice of cheese on the burger and then on the ham. If ya like onion or shrooms, then slap em between the layers and let the cheeses seal them in, too. A wee horseradish employed don't...
