    Whole hog for TG Day

    I smoked a 40lb { after it was dressed} wild pig, head off on my Primo XL with plenty of room,and I'm sure the Lang 36 is larger than the primo. I did fold the legs/tied and lay it on its side, flipped it twice on each side. Came out perfect. I will be cooking a 125lb tomorrow on my big smoker.

    Thermapen Mk4: Orange & Black Sale

    Best hand held therm on the market. I own 2 and they are the fastest read and both read exactly the same at any temp, and I purchased them 2 years apart. Well worth the price if you don't have one.

    Over smoked bacon

    I over smoked some last year really BAD, I put it in a cooler just enough water to cover and then added about 20 lbs of ice. Let it soak, and drain the water every 12hrs for 2 days and it almost had zero smoke. It save a pile of bacon from the bean pot.

    Cold Smoke Problems !!

    I've only used the veg oil when I was cooking BBQ. I always start with charcoal and then add wood. I was oiling the baskets in my cooker and the oil ran in the fire and emediatly got rid of the lighter fluid smell and I've used that everytime I have a big order of bbq. I have it a try last night...

    Cold Smoke Problems !!

    Well guys, here's the latest move on my chess board of bacon. It seemed to help the smoke move out faster. The smoke was a lot thinner inside the smoke house. And the fire was a lot hotter also. And I used an old trick I learned a long time ago to remove bad smoke smell out of a cooker. While...

    Cold Smoke Problems !!

    Thanks SMOKEYMOSE, I will give that a try,and as far as the draining. Everything I read, said to drain the liquid off and try to keep the meat dry.

    Cold smoke problems.

    Wade, I was cold smoking. And I think the flow is the prob. It settled inside and didn't move as move as it needed. I used maple and apple. It smoked about 18hrs total time I'm the smoke. But it hung there for 36hrs. It didn't have tar on it, but the floor was really black afterwards. I was...
