    Has anyone ever used Strawberry Jam in a glaze or BBQ sauce?

    A friend of mine made some Strawberry jam that was a bit thin to use. She knows I like to BBQ and smoke just about everything,and offered some to me. So I said I wouldn't let it go to waste. I was thinking of adding some lemon juice and a pinch of powdered Habanero pepper, and using it on some...

    Will using White Oak be a different flavor than Red Oak??

    The same question goes for Apple and Cherry.  A neighbor has an apple tree.  Not sure what kind but I know it's not a crab apple.  Does it matter all that much what kind of Apple tree it is? When I cherry wood, what kind of cherry am I getting in both chunks and pellets?? Thanks as always. Jim

    Ever since I started using my MES 40...

    It has been leaking a good deal of water from the front door.  Without doing the obvious, and not putting water in the pan, what else can I do?  I do keep the flu closed as the instructions say to do.  Should I leave it open a bit?? Thanks in advance. JD

    How do I get the most smoke/flavor in chicken without salt?

    I'm getting to that age where my Doctor is getting on me about salt.  Everything I've tried so far does not come close to even a simple brine for the strong smoke flavor I LOVE so much! My Christmas present this year was a MES 40 and have only used it 5 times so far, but the weather is getting...
