Smoke tube won't stay lit in my MES
From looking at the two smoker tubes, the LIZZQ smoker tube appears to have small circular holes where as the A-Maze-N smoker tube has bigger and longer holes which means it probably allows more air to enter the side of tube than the LIZZQ.- motsyball

Smoke tube won't stay lit in my MES
So the mailbox/cold box was only in Dr K's post just to support the bottom vent pipe? He did not have the mail box connected as an additional smoker box? I assume the adding of the vent pipe to the top or the side of the smoker helps it get a better draw of air instead of just leaving a hole...- motsyball

Smoke tube won't stay lit in my MES
I've been smoking meat in a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker for several years. I saw a smoke tube on Amazon and decided to give it a try. Instead of spending the big bucks on an A-Maze-N smoke tube I choose to save money by purchasing the LIZZQ Premium Pellet 12 inch Smoker Tube. I then went by...- motsyball

Smoking a pork loin
For some reason I was thinking that using InstaCure will also give you that pink smoke ring once you have smoked the meat. Am I mistaken? -
Need answers to some smoking basics
Makes sense. Last night I smoked the chicken without adding water to the pan and it was great. The instacure made meat a bit pink and you could taste the instacure a little but over all it was great chicken. I am finally learning all the acronyms everyone uses on this site. Yesterday in day...- motsyball

confused about nitrites/nitrates prague salt #1 or 2 for curing
Well this is a complete buzz kill. My brother in law gave me some wild turkey breast to smoke so I did a search online for smoked wild turkey breast recipes and I found this one online that said to use instacure. I then did a search on this message board to learn more about instacure and it... -

Do you all add water to the drip/catch pan in the bottom of the smoker when smoking chicken or do you only add water to it when you are smoking meats for several hours such as ribs, butts and brisket?- motsyball

Need answers to some smoking basics
I guess my finding out about instacure was when I was searching online for smoked wild turkey breast recipes and I found this one online that said to use instacure. That is when i decided to do a search on this message board about it and it took me to Pops brine recipe. So do I need to get it...- motsyball

Need answers to some smoking basics
Bummer. So I guess I need to get all that chicken and turkey out of the instacure brine right now so its not too salty? Would you put it back in plain water to try and get some of the instacure out of it or would you just add it to a brine from Jeffs recipe? Or have I ruined all that meat...- motsyball

confused about nitrites/nitrates prague salt #1 or 2 for curing
Is that for any meat you grind regardless of how you will be cooking it or just for meat you will be smoking? I have some frozen venison roasts that I grind up and mix with store bought ground meat which I make hamburgers out of or add to my chili. Should I be adding instacure #1 to that... -
Need answers to some smoking basics
I became a newbie to this board and to the smoking hobby when my in-laws gave me a Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite electric smoker from Cabelas this past Christmas. I am a bit overwhelmed and confused from all the info I have got off this message board over the last few days so I'm hoping someone...- motsyball

Dry rubs
I also wondered about it because some had noted to pat the meat dry with a paper towel after taking it out of the brine so the skin will get tacky and thus make the rub to stick better and allow the smoke to penetrate the meat better. However, if you add olive oil or mustard to the surface of... -

Dry rubs
I'm curious as to what you all do after you apply the dry rub. I currently have some chicken soaking in Pops brine that I plan to smoke tomorrow. Do you immediately put it in the smoker after applying the dry rub? Or do you rub it with olive oil after you apply the dry rub to help the rub to... -
Pops6927's Wet Curing Brine
What is the shelf life of this brine? How long is it good for once I mix the instacure #1 into the gallon of water? Can I mix it up, add half of the gallon of brine to a ziploc of chicken and then store the other half gallon of brine in the fridge until I need to brine meat again in a week or so? -
confused about nitrites/nitrates prague salt #1 or 2 for curing
I thought I read some where that using instacure #1 is more important when smoking wild game. Is that true? Also, should you add instacure #1 to any liquid you inject into the meat while its being smoked? -
