    Seasoning a Horizon smoker

    I just used charcoal with some wood chips for flavoring, but really straight charcoal should be fine.  I ran it at around 250 for most of the time.  You really can't screw it up, just spray the inside with Pam and you'll end up with a nice glistening smoker.  One thing you'll notice probably is...

    First 2012 Ribs: St. Louis Style

    It's been a while since I smoked ribs, and it was great weather for it yesterday so I got out the Horizon 16" and picked up some spare ribs.  Only when I unpacked them I realized they had been trimmed as St Louis style.  No problem, I cooked the rib tips separately and decided to make my first...

    Horizon Marshal Smoker and Temp. Management Problems

    I have seen the same behavior with my Horizon 16".  Basically what I've concluded is that the stock thermometer is accurate, but is not very close to grate level.  So when you put your probe at grate level you are seeing a difference between in inside and outside of the cylinder.  Over time they...

    Smoked Pork Brisket!

    Yeah I tried that, you get articles about pork and beef brisket, not pork brisket.

    Smoked Pork Brisket!

    You've probably never seen a pork brisket at the market, it's not a typical cut you see in the states.  Here in Portland there's a local company called Tails and Trotters that makes great pork products and European cuts like this.  I picked up this pork brisket, which as I understand it is where...

    Horizon Classic 16" Smoker Review

    Here's a post that shows it loaded up:  http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forum/thread/107977/smoked-ribs-spares-baby-backs-country-style-beef#post_650906 You can comfortably fit several racks of ribs flat, or more with the rib rack.  However, if you are debating I would suggest the 20", just to...

    Rack of Lamb on the Smoker- Check it Out

    For a special occasion I picked up a rack of lamb.  Most people either love lamb or they don't, and it does tend to have a pungent flavor than can overpower everything around it.  I've always liked lamb and this was my first lamb smoke. Most of the time rack of lamb is crusted and roasted, or...

    Brisket and pork butt crisis. need help :)

    It's hard to give any advice without any photos, of the golf course that is.  Remember let the clubhead do the work, and as Palmer said never attempt a shot you've never practiced.  It's just like BBQ, don't over-think it and just have fun no matter what the result is!

    Smoker Maintenance

    Did you season the smoker when you first got it?  By that, I mean did you rub the inside of the lid with any oil and just smoke it empty for a couple of hours?  The reason I ask is that I have a horizontal offset as well, and I noticed this but not nearly to the extent you have, and when I first...
