    Birthday Prime Rib

    Today I plan on smoking a 7# prime rib for my birthday.  I'm thinking just salt and pepper, smoking till 130 internal at 275. About how long will it take to get to that temperature? I'm thinking using apple wood for the smoke in my MES. Any suggestions? I've never done one before, never smoked...

The final result was about right on the salt content, but the bacon wasn't very crispy. I started the...

    making liquid smoke?

    I know that 'liquid smoke' is frowned upon here, but i'm wondering if a water pan with no drippings will take on the flavor of the smoke. Can you use it in recipes when firing up the smoker isn't practical, or to use in sauce. I'm thinking maybe use the water pan water to boil potatoes in or as...

    are twigs ok for smoking?

    I just searched the forum and didn't find an answer to if there is a minimum diameter of branch/twig for smoking. I am going to prune my peach tree in a couple of weeks when the leaves finish dropping. The problem is that it is a small tree and the thickest branch that i am trimming is only...
