    Holy Smokin' Catfish Battle

    Thanx for the points, treegje. daddyzaring, I don't have anything lemon pepper in my collection, yet. It does sound good and I will be doing some more fish next weekend. Not sure what kind yet, I've done salmon, cod and now catfish. Cod was kind of a bust, though. If you have a lemon pepper...

    Hello from Minnesota (where most think ketchup is a spice)

    Whaddya mean, ketchup's not a spice? I guess I learn something new every day. Anyway, welcome to SMF from yet another Minnesotan!

    Crab apple wood

    I had never thought of using lilac before reading this post. Perfect timing, too. I have a 60' long lilac windbreak in the back yard that I will be pruning as soon as the flowers are done. There's going to be a fair amount of good size pieces. Between that and the maple I'm getting from a...

    Holy Smokin' Catfish Battle

    Thanx for the points, Caveman! I sincerely appreciate it. All of the fish disappeared last night. It was a great smoke. I'm definitely going to use the idea on other meats. More variety sounds good.

    pulled pork sandwiches for 170 people

    I should clarify about the planner I posted a link to before. It predicts that with a brisket you will have a final yield of 60%. In other words, if you start with a 10 lb brisket, you will end up with 6 pounds. In the planner, you would tell it you want to serve three people with each pound of...

    Holy Smokin' Catfish Battle

    Greetings to all! Today's smoke was a battle of catfish fillets. Understand that I was never really a fan of catfish, but there were some posts last week about it. Talking to a buddy at work, he had been fishing and caught a bunch of catfish and gave me four fillets; total weight was 2...

    How Much Do You Spend on This Hobby?

    This should be really interesting. I've only been smoking for about a year and a half, but have spent a fair amount. The biggest single expense was the smoker and continuing investments in it. Several years ago, when I took some Scouts camping, I provided a really nice meal after a day of...

    Anyone ever smoke catfish?

    Greetings! I was talking to a buddy at work today. He loves catfish and has been out fishing quite a bit. He's never had smoked catfish, but really wants to try it. I've had catfish before, fried. He gave me four fillets on the way home tonight for me to smoke this weekend. The four fillets...

    Turkey Dressing sandwich

    This sounds really good. How would it be if the turkey was smoked for a while before the roaster/stuffing/final cooking? I'm always looking to make things more difficult...

    Brand new memeber complaining already

    Hi and welcome to SMF! Great place, great people! I share your frustration with the security thing. I bet I went through at least that many before I got one I could understand. That said, I'm glad I kept trying. I've received tons of help here and hope that as time goes on I can help others as...

    Double Barrel Build - Indirect Heat

    That is a great smoker! I've been toying with the idea of something similar. I have a question, though.. I'd like to have a door on the bottom barrel similar to the one on the top barrel. Is that a bad idea? I think it would make access to the fire better, but could be very wrong.

    Best kind of sausage casing?

    I'm waiting for some Prague #1 I ordered. I'm hoping that won't change the taste much. I have Tender Quick, but that is far too salty for this. Any other ideas/thoughts/concerns would be greatly appreciated.

    I didn't even consider the size of the casing. Great catch there, Tim, I really appreciate that.
