Another successful smoke! The meat is moist, flaky and has a light smokey flavor.
It was on a total of 2.5 hours because the first hour or so I couldn't get the smoker above 200 deg - it was too windy.
Yum, yum!
It is pretty windy out, controlling hte temp at 225 is getting to be a little tough, lots of fiddeling with the temperature guage on the plug. It took forever to get over 200, I will probably let it smoke for an extra 30 minutes.
Haha - I'm really giving this smoker a workout! I've now done something every weekend since I put it together! Smoking is so easy and produces such a great result! Thanks to this site for making it easy on a newbie!
As it is Good Friday (no meat, only fish) I decided to hot smoke some...

The turkey was in the smoker for about 4 hours with smoke for about 3. I took it out when it reached 160 deg internal and tented it with foil for another 30-40 minutes.
The result was awesome - super moist, nice flavor! Glad I kept the netting on -...

I see frozen boneless breasts at my regular grocery store all year round. They are usually $3-$4/lb.
2 hours into the smoke. I decided to use apple wood as a number of threads talked about how good it is on poultry. I also decided to give it a quick rub of pork/rib spice before putting it in.
It's sitting at 110 deg right now. Should be up to 160 within another 2 hours.
After the success of my first pork ribs and pork butt I decided to kick it up a knotch and try a smoked turkey breast.
I purchased a boneless breast from Costco - $20 for a 3.5 lbs, wrapped in a net.
I made a brine consisting of salt, brown sugar, mustard powder, onion powder, ground garlic...
