    anyone wet brine large amounts of slabs ? Need ideas

     To the SMF 15. I basically do what you are describing when I find myself drowning in too much unexpected Fresh  at once! Key to it is keeping it all cooled down to a safe cold temp and make sure nothing is exposed to air, meaning all covered up by your brine. The cleaner you can keep your...

    Fresh air intake

     Welcome to the SMF Josh,  Any chance of you posting up a few pics? IMO, you don't really need a fresh air intake if things are not 100% sealed and you have air intake around your door etc.  You want fresh oxygenated air for the purpose of your fire to burn and or smolder. You also want to...

    Problem with getting wood to smolder

     To the SMF Mark. To get the nice Blue Smoke you're looking for, you need to start with a HOT bed of coals before adding your wood chunks. Pulling too much wood on your HOT bed of coals, you will end up with a white smoke that you don't want. You're trying to keep the bed of coals hot without...

    Woke up and found my corned beer floating... I tossed it. Did I do the right thing?

    A Wise old Native American friend of mine once told me, If your Dog won't eat any of it, something must be wrong, so why in the world would you want to eat it?   Logic like that is hard to argue.

    quarters

    Not having to throw food away I would call a good first step in the whole process. Just make sure stuff is properly cured and smoked to safe temps and let the fun begin!

    Propane to Natural Gas

     To the SMF Vader. I am not familiar  with your type gas smoker. I would guess the only thing you would need to do is change out the gas orifice, if you have that opinion to do so on your cooker. Propane burns hotter than natural gas so your gas office hole needs to be a little bigger in size...

    Should you take the bark off wood

    I play around with trying different things, I am now toying around with the idea of making my own little oven to make Char from my hardwood. Char unlike charred wood pulled from a fire pit, is made by baking the hardwood in a controlled oven in the absence of oxygen. The new product Char has no...

    should I preheat charcoals and save them for later use?

     To the SMF 83, I don't know much about your water smoker set-up and how they work? I do all cold smoke and If I don't have any of my good hard wood chunks to use at the time. I will use original plain Kingsford briquettes and throw a few in at a time to keep things going. I make sure they are...
