I was a smoking newbie not long ago. I had my feet wet whne I found this website, but the amount I have learned here has improved my food tremendously. You have come to the right place.
Don't be intimidated to try anything.
People on this site are willing to answer questions they have seen...
Northern pike is not an oily fish, but they are not as dry as walleyes.
I do a lot of fishing in northern MN...mostly walleyes, but I don't fall into the walleye snob category. I think northern is just as good table fare out of the right lake as walleye or crappie.
Anyways, even though I...
Somehow I missed this until today, but that looks unreal Meat Hunter.
I am likely going to try this for the Vikes game with the last back strap in the freezer.
Thanks for the qview and great idea.
The ribs turned out awesome.
The peach gave the meat a nice mildly sweet, mellow flavor. The smoke flavor blended very nicely with my rub, which is a little on the spicy side.
1/2 the ribs I made with sauce, the other 1/2 dry. They were both very good.
I think that if I were allergic to...
I can't find it anywhere locally either. Here is where I got the peach and a few other things...

Shipping isn't cheap, but it's worth it to me. I look forward to trying orange, pear, and pecan.
We're having an NFL playoff fantasy draft tonight. I figured the boys would appreciate some ribs with their beer.
I am trying peach for the first time. Man, does it smell unbelievable. I mixed in a few cherry and apple pellets as well.
I use an MES and it's -5 right now so I heated the smoker...
That looks awesome.
I cook a lot of wild ducks similarly. It's quick,easy and fantastic.
I definitely gained valuable knowledge from this qview.
I'm assuming from the pics you gauge everything off of skin color/crispiness instead of using a thermometer?
Smoked the chicken yesterday. Turned out amazing. Will do this again.
Temps were around 0 yesterday, so using the MES was not ideal. I put the 3 racks of chicken and 1 rack of ABTs in with MES at 275. With food in the temp dropped down to around 125 and took 3.5 hours to get back to 200...
I agree, I love heat too. I hope this makes me sweat a little.
No available Scotch Bonnets, so I used Habaneros. I read that both Habaneros and Scoth Bonnets have heat ratings of 100,000–350,000 scoville units.
Hopefully the rub's hot enough.
Thanks for the idea, I will be tossing these on a...
I can't wait to eat whatever it is I smoke and I always enjoy it.
I can definitely relate to you on the smell though. The little lady has nicknamed me "cold cuts" due to the smell I carry after a good smoke.
The rub
chicken in the rub
I have no experience with a wet rub...the pic with the meat in the rub is somewhat decieving, as there is actually a good rub to meat ratio. I tripled the recipe.
I have the chicken in the rub bowl covered as tightly as possible with foil. My temporary plan is...
Trying caribbean jerk chicken for the first time. I am doing thighs and legs instead of a quartered chicken.
I've done a bit of research, and I think the best way to do this in MES is with a rub/paste. This is a google result that seemed pretty good:
One whole white onion, chopped
Six green...
Bandcollector I pluck as many birds as I can. It's time consuming and difficult to do when you are hunting out of town though. A lot of times I end up plucking the birds from the last day of a trip.
Do you smoke a lot of your waterfowl meat?
I regret to inform you guys that I forgot to take pics of the finished product. I blame the Crown/waters.
My apologies. I fail!
Either way, it was delicious. I highly recommend this recipe for a whole duck or goose.
Birds are taking a little longer than normal. After 4 hours at 250 the IT is only 130. So a bit longer to go.
Meat Hunter, I am by Grand Rapids. I can relate to you regarding the tough hunting you had this year in MN. I did not have nearly as many good shoots in MN as I normally do...the diver...
