    Ham Questions

    I have a question about ham. We got a pig butchered at the local butcher a while ago, and there were some hams wrapped up in butcher paper. They don't look like they are pre-cooked or smoked, just cured as it is pink. Looks like a picnic ham. If it is only cured (to get the pink color) how...

    Brisket vs Propane Smoker Question

    Hey All, Question. I am going to do a brisket soon, but my propane smoker is on the smaller side for being able to put it on a rack. I have two options. Either cut it in half or hang it. Can you hang a brisket and have it turn out ok? Or should I cut it in half?

    Smoked ham with the kid

    Thought I would share. We picked up a cured ham from the butcher today. Not smoked or cooked. The boy and I made a brine to soak in for 86 hours to try and get some moisture in. He injected it to try and build a flavour profile, and push that moisture inside. Smoked today for 6 hours at...

    Pork loin roast keeps getting better and better!

    Let me start out by first saying I am no pro. I just started in this journey last year, and am starting to love it! Yesterday I bought a pork loin rib half roast. I seasoned it with a basic home made rub. Let it sit in the fridge over night. Today I fired up the propane smoker to 265F (only...

    Possibly looking for a new thermometer

    Hey Guys, I just started smoking about a year ago now. I use a propane smoker, as here in Northern Canada, wood for a stick burner is next to impossible. I also have a ThermoPro TP-08. I read alot of reviews on it before purchasing it, and 98% of them were great. I also liked the idea of...

    Couple Questions with a Masterbuilt Pro Dual Fuel Smoker

    Hey Everyone, Just a quick couple questions. I have a Masterbuilt Pro Dual Fuel Smoker, and it has been a learning curve for sure. The only mods that I have done is adding a cast iron pan for the chips (sits on top of the old one) and I currently have it wrapped in reflextec insulation (its...
