I have played around trying it both ways and for me, I can taste a bit of a bitterness in my finished product, more so in my jerky over a smoked ham or turkey. I started to make sure I didn't have bark mixed with my smoking chips and the bitterness went away and I figured the bark was the cause...
O-ok, So you do understand the correct amount of #1 per lbs of meat, 1 tsp of #1, per 5lbs of meat. When I wet brine I like to add in the weight of my water and other spices also, for more of an equilibrium brine solution.
It took the help of some of the SMF members for me to be able to...

How about try scrabbling the egg in the shell first, then hard boil it, peel it, then throw some love at it, I meant to say SMOKE! Maybe someone could youtube it and paste it on here, I thought it was pretty cool when I first seen it done.
Now tell me you two haven't talked about building a few of them RF rigs in the slow winter months for something to do and sell them for a nice profit after! I would! Awesome job guys, can't wait to see you fire it up and throw the first piece of meat in it or I should say 1/2 a Beef! LOL!
Starting to generate some participation on this Pit problem issue that's great, the more the merrier!

My take on this...

Some place I seen a really cool pizza oven a guy built on top of an old 55 gal. drum and he had the oven part on top made out of his clay and or mortar mix. I thought it was a very creative and simplistic work of art when it was done.
I was kind of throwing the idea around about making myself...

Electrical isn't that difficult, I would recommend starting out with buying a cheaper less inexpensive Voltmeter over a high dollar one right off the get go, Until you understand what you can and CAN NOT touch correctly in...
Thanks for the info back on that 86. I guess it's a labor of love more then anything, just like my dabbling around with little piglets. No money to be made doing it, but man are they sure tasty!
Stainless is one of my favorite metals to work with, I would be willing to offer up a little...
I thought that number was high also, I want to say one old timer told me years ago it was 5 gal. boiled down would make 1 gal. finish product. He was from MN also and told me you didn't necessary have to only tap a maple tree for the sap either? I have no idea about how to do it either other...
IMO, aluminum foil is just as valuable as good old Duct Tape, 101 uses for the stuff! LOL
If I am in a hurry and worried about anything flaking off the inside of my Smoker onto my meat. I will always drape a piece of foil over my meat to keep it safe and clean. I try to do this so the foil...
Here in ND, Ash is most plentiful over Oak, but those are our two best hardwoods we have, so I hang on to the really good stuff I find for all my BBQ and Smoking needs, I love the stuff!
The Big problem I have with those two types of wood is this, cutting it! I have an old Stihl .038 mag II...
