Thanks guys. I'll trim her back and cut into little puck size disks for me WSM. Give it 3 months or so to dry out. Come August, we'll be smoking some plum good BBQ.

Hey guys, I have a plum tree in my yard that needs to be pruned back and some of the branches cut. I have a few questions. Note: I use a WSM, so I use wood chunks, not logs. 1. Can I use wood from the branches? Seems like I've read that folks say the only good wood for smoking is from the...

Thanks, guys! Got a long weekend coming up with Martin Luther King Day. Thinking about doing another pork butt on the bottom rack and some chicken quarters on the top rack for a short cook. Then moving the butt to the top. Got the itch now.

My virgin smoke. When I asked what my first smoke should be, the general consensus was a pork butt. I have to say, the 14 hour smoke was more gratifying than I expected and came out much better than I expected for a first smoke. Taste was great. Not a bit dry. Pulled product had a great mix of...

Thanks for the recipes, JJ!

I got my WSM assembled. I broke a bolt tightening the bolt. Called WSM to get a new hardware pack. Got it. Have it assembled. I used an amazon gift card on a 6 prong meat thermometer. I'm ready to rock and smoke or smoke and roll or something like that. What I'm looking for is a foolproof...

It certainly sounds like my instincts to go for the 22 right out of the gate was on the right track. Thanks, guys!

After much debate and consternation, I have decide my first smoke rig will be a WSM. I like to go big, so I'm leaning goings straight for the 22 inch big boy. It's my understanding that the WSMs last decades if they aren't abused, and at some point over the next twenty years, I may want to...

Be it a rub that is yours or a barbecue sauce that's your creation. Do you guys start from scratch? Start with an existing recipe and make changes in ingredient amounts or ingredient substitutions? Do you start with an existing BBQ sauce as a base and add to it? Many different ways to skin a...

Thanks for the rub tips!

I haven't dug into looking for a good used setup. I'll start checking the Facebook market.

So, I'm currently in the research stage before I start smoking. The first thing I must get right is the first smoking rig that I get. I have a tendency to dive into things too deeply without the requisite experience. I research so much that I talk myself into believing that I have out-researched...

Well thank you all for the welcome. I can't wait to get started and picking the collective brain here for knowledge.

The price point is a big selling point. I also like that it doesn't take a whole lot of real estate. I was planning on keeping it in the garage, wheeling it out into the drive when I did the smoking and then back to the garage. The size of it allows it.

I have some ideas already, but I want to make sure I get the smoking down first.

For my entry smoker, I'm really leaning toward the Char-Griller Akorn and using it as my primary grill also.

Howdy, folks. I'm Ben from Arkansas. I'm in the last year of my life before I hit the big 4-0, and I'm not really sure that a man's really lived until he's eaten his own barbecue and had it approved by others. Plus, I'm a social dude, and so the idea of smoking meats for tailgating or...
