    Brisket ready TOO early .... Help

    This is my first brisket, a 13 pounder from Costco Canada. It was pretty well trimmed straight from the package. Sprinkled the meat liberally with SPG on the trimmed side (nothing on the fat cap). Used a 18" WSM with Kingsford briquettes. There was sand, covered in foil, in it's water pan...

    Is is better to skin the turkey before smoking

    I did a test run with brined boneless skinless chicken breasts before attempting a turkey.  NICE……smokey and moist.  I am now thawing a 16 pound turkey that, when thawed, will be brined overnight.  Question.  I am concerned about the smoke permeating the meat through the skin. Our family is not...

    “Safe” Shelf Life of Leftovers

    I have a question about leftovers and their “safe” shelf life in the fridge. Because the meat is smoked when cooking on my WSM, is its shelf life in the fridge longer than lets say BBQ grilled or oven roasted meat.

    Thermometer Puzzle

    Initial Charcoal Load???????

    I am a brand new newbie smoker.  When I researched this I was all over this site looking for information. I bought a Brinkmann Smoke n Grill, a Masterbuilt 14 Inch Tabletop BBQ (has a slide out ash pan), a chimney and a bag of Kingsford briquettes from Home Depot.  Straight away I seasoned the...

    Newbie ......

    Love grilling and always wanted to expand and try smoking.  Decided to get this done.  Found that in our area that I had two choices, either a Brinkmann Smoke n Grill or a Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker.  Anything else would require buying online, sight unseen, with shipping costs.  Researched...
