    Rub doesn't seem to add any flavor to pulled pork.

    I've smoked about a dozen pork shoulders in my smokers since I got my first one last year, and rub (when I use it) doesn't seem to have any effect on the end flavor at all.  I brine the pork overnight in salt water and molasses, then I put on the rub, then it goes into the smoker for however...

    Grill before or after smoking?

    I recently smoked some chicken thighs in my pellet smoker, and pretty much everyone who tried them liked the result.  However, I did get the complaint that the skin wasn't crisp.  I've read several threads here about smoking at 275-300 to achieve this result - I smoked at about 180 on the basis...

    New user needs help with "Flower pot smoker".

    After watching Good Eats I decided to try my hand at smoking, and since none of my local stores had electric smokers in stock I built myself a flower pot smoker.  This is just a large flower put with another on top, a few holes, a grill halfway down and a hot plate at the bottom. The problem...
