    Almost time to Smoke them

    Hi Guys, I have four Pork Belly's curing that will be ready for the Smoker Saturday. What temperature do I smoke these at? I know I take them to 160, so I'm guessing 220ish, but do you normally cold smoke them for a while first, then hit them with a little more heat? Actually, any help on...

    Hot Damn!

    Well my fellow smokers. I picked up one of these fine GOSM units from Bass Pro Shops today. After last summer's battlefest with the H20 Charbroiler smoker thingy thing I bought, we decided we'd upgrade... so we did. I'm moving on from charcoal to propane.... and hopefully going to love the...

    Question on Ribs

    Hi Guys, I'm supposed to do some ribs up tomorrow for some friends that are coming over... nobody can ever just visit, I always have to feed people and let them drink my beer :P I grabbed a couple of recipes for rubs and sauces, but am wondering what the application process is. When I did my...

    Tonights Smoke...

    Hi Guys, So here's the lowdown. We had a couple friends over for dinner tonight, and we had decided we'd go for the Pork Butt since we're all pretty close, and if they died from my cooking it wouldn't be as big a deal... you don't want to kill a stranger, that's always a lot harder to...

    Did I Kill The Fatty?

    Hi Everyone, Well this was the second time I tried a fatty, and I'm not sure if I'm totally blowing it, or it's just something that we don't like. We can't get Jimmy Deans as far as I know, so I get the Maple Leaf roll... I'm thinking it's the same, but maybe not. I've done two of these bad...

    Last Weekends Smoke

    Hi Again Everyone, As we do every year, we took a week off last week and headed up north for vacation, and to celebrate our daughters birthday. As it turns out there are quite a few people in the family(s) who have dabbled in smoking with most having used old refrigerators that were modified...

    Alright, so here's weekend two

    So this weekend we decide we're going to try the big time and smoke up a chicken. I know chicken is supposed to be a good starter meat, but we don't roast whole chickens, or whole anythings usually... this would normally be a Thanksgiving meal. So anyway, I find myself a brine recipe...

    So I found out I'm clueless

    Hi again Guys, Holy hangover, the wife and I went to a local bar to watch the UFC pay per view last night... I ran through a curing procedure on the smoker yesterday, and was able to get it to ~280 at it's highest point for the last hour or so... I'm hoping that's good enough. Actually it...

    New Smoker

    Hi Guys, So I ended up with the Home Depot bargain smoker... it's a Char-Broil H20 Smoker, or something to that effect. I've assembled it, and read through the instructions and am left with a question. I could swear I read somewhere on this site that the smoker needs to be prepped before it's...

    Frozen Meats

    Hi Guys, Kind of a dumb question, but can previously frozen meats be smoked? I want to try smoking a Fatty, and the only type of sausage I was able to find that fits the description comes frozen. I'm wondering if I can thaw it and smoke it, or should I just buy some fresh Johnsonvilles and...

    Decent Beginner Smoker

    Hi Guys, Nice forum you have here. I'm looking to purchase a smoker, and am entirely new to the cooking method... mind you, I'm not stranger to a hot grill and a case of beer on the weekends. Here are the ones I have in mind... you'll notice a couple from Canadian Stores, but I'm a hop, skip...
