    Grilled chicken breast & potatoess

    Chicken breast was cheaper than pork so we bought a bunch. Basted with treager honey and bourbon BBQ sauce, potatoes were done in a hasselback style.

    Pork loin

    Did a 1.2kg pork loin today. Was done sooner than expected, target was 170f, it hit 190f by the time i noticed about 1.5 hours later, held the temps at about 250 on the lid of the akorn. Not sure where I put our second thermometer so can get grill temps, should probably dig out our laser...

    Smoked beer can chicken with GRAVY!

    Smoked beer can chicken, made smoked gravy from the chicken drippings. First time I've made gravy from smoked meat drippings. Normally would put it on something different than rice but there was a timing issue. The gravy was very tasty and the chicken tender. The chicken was on the smoker longer...

    Making gravy while smoking?

    One complaint when smoking is that there is no gravy. We have an Akorn kooker and I was wondering if it would be feasible to put a cake pan on the diffuser under the roast or the bird to catch the drippings or would it just make a charred mess? I thought about adding water but wouldn't that...

    Switched from vertical water style to kamado style omg.

    Started smoking 2 years back with a cheap (the cheapest) master chef vertical smoker that used water as ballast to control temps. It was always a lot of work to use. And forget trying to use it when the temp was lower than 10-15c This winter we picked up an Akorn kamado kooker (ok it's cheap...

    Using a bullet type smoker, propane camp stove and smoke box to make a cold smoker?

    I have a bullet type smoker as seen in the pic below, it doesn't seal up like the WSM, rather it has drop in pans for the charcoal and water/sand/lava rocks etc. I also have a wood chip box as seen below (i find it extends the life of my wood chips for smoking with charcoal).  What I was...

    Beer can or upside down chicken?

    I have a franklen chef "vertisserie" instead of rotating horizontal it rotates on a vertical axis.  The idea is the juices from the fattier parts of the bird (legs and thighs) drain down into the breast making the entire bird juicy. I'm thinking of using the stand from it with the smoker.  I...

    Using a "smoking box" with a charcoal smoker

    When I first bought my charcoal smoker (Master Chef Vertical Smoker) http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/masterchef-vertical-smoker-0851013p.html#.VSsBzkI6nKk I picked up wood chips instead of wood chunks not realizing that in the charcoal they would burn up quickly. Local store had a Wood Chip...

    Chicken Tournedos

    In case you don't know what they are they are like fillet mignon with chicken instead of steak this is how you make them   I put them on the smoker (masterchef charcoal) for a few hours and they were moist and yummy.  Didn't get pics as we were eating later than expected, they take a little...

    Smoking in the Great White North

    Got a masterchef smoker for my birthday, it's probably the least expensive smoker out there from looking around (almost the same as the one from masterforge).  Haven't had much time to use it but I'm getting better at it, this site showed me the "minion method" when I was looking up info on how...
