My first birds...
Did my first chickens over the weekend. Took about 3 hours at 225. They did not last too long. Although I had to throw the thighs back on the grill afterwards, cuz they were a touch shy of being done. Breast couldn't have come out any nicer. I used Jeffs rub, and was very happy. Smoked... -
Smoked Shrimp?
Another question from the Swiss Alps....I just had some awesome smoked shrimp at a Scandanavian restaurant today. The people had no clue what wood was used as they import them from Denmark. I can see from this chapter, smoking shrimp is not common. I have 2 birds to do this weekend, but will...- bestee

Smoker Cleaning/Upkeep
I am wondering how often and how clean you guys keep your smokers? I have the attached a picture of my model.

Wood chips?
I have a firebox smoker (Oklahoma Joe). I primarily use charcoal as a base, and then use mesquite chips (I live in switzerland so getting other flavors is a challenge, although am getting some fruit tree chips sent over). My question is this: how many handfuls of chips should be put on? I...- bestee

Smoking weekend
After 2 weekends with only one thing done, this weekend I banged out the Smoked Meatloaf on Saturday...Thank you for the recipe SMF! It was simple and was gone before I could take a picture. Sunday I was able to take a snapshot of my first Baby Back ribs. Done with a homemade dry rub. I seem... -

Name is Bestee, new on the site, new to smoking. Wife bought me a Cactus Jack smoker with firebox and single smoke chamber for our 5th anniversary (I got her a diamond necklace, and I am happier!). Have only used it twice (4 hour brisket...I need a better cut of meat, otherwise awesome) and a...
