    Stupid, Stupid, Stupid

    reminds me of a hilarious story. One thanksgiving, my aunt made a beautiful 25lb turkey in her oven and it was great looking and I remember sneaking parts of the crispy skin. Anyway, she puts it on the stove and lets it rest for awhile as she went about making the rest of the meal. Low and...

    Electric Smoker and time

    Hey all, I smoke at a temp of 225-245 and regardless of how long the recipes say it is always done much earlier. I have a Masterbuilt 30in Electric smoker. The meat always has a pretty good smoke ring evenly distributed just wondering about the time. Any ideas?

    Apple Chunks

    Hey all, I am heading up to our Bass Pro Shop and saw they had Apple wood Chunks and was wondering how Apple does for pork and chicken? Is it a good flavor, what does it taste like (and I swear if you say Apples I am gonna hunt you down and make Sausage out of ya) Thanks,

    The not so after life

    So I was just thinking about my departure from society and I have chosen to be cremated after they farm my internal parts for other people. But it got me wondering if I can pre-select the wood they will use and perhaps provide the rub with of course instructions on temperature and time. I am...

    OH WOW! THE McRIB IS BACK!.....yuck.

    I still remember when they announced that the sun could cause skin cancer and or smoking kills people.  Wow anyone old enough to remember cars without seatbelts being used? Kids in the back of pickup trucks. Just saying that we may need to investigate some of these so called bad things to see...

    Health concerns

    It is the same thing as when I was a child, my dad used baby oil and iodine on us all the first three weekends at the lake. We burned to a crisp and had great tans the rest of the summer and it wasnt until the 1990's that we learned that the sun could really kill you. So now that we have been...

    OH WOW! THE McRIB IS BACK!.....yuck.

    Are you kidding me? McRib is real authentic BBQ. They use a mix of Detroit and South Dakota styles. Sort of a take on the Cuban recipes so well used in Taiwan. :) ROFL Sorry had to comment.

    Some tips and a couple questions

    Hello everyone, instead of starting a new thread I thought I would update you on this past weekend. I smoked a Pork Tenderloin keeping the temps down to about 175-190. It took a lot longer than anything I had ever smoked and that is directly due to lower cooking temps, I was able to see my first...

    Some tips and a couple questions

    Thanks everyone, the trout I am almost certain are a result of being in Parker Canyon Lake which is a stretch of the word Lake. Not sure what the size is but it cannot be that big. When we were fishing we were able to first see the fish when they were only 10-16 inch off the surface so the water...

    Practice meats for learning smoking without breaking the bank

    I would suggest Whole Chicken and if you catch the great sales during thanksgiving/Christmas and can grab a few 10lb Turkeys you have some things to practice on. I am not a professional smoker but I learned on costco chicken legs which I poured lemon pepper over and let set overnight in the...

    Some tips and a couple questions

    I am a newbie to the SMF family but hope to find a comfortable chair near a lake to sit and talk about the one's that got away with you all. I am also a new smoker at least in most terms I would consider myself a total newbie. I posted about me etc in the forums for new members so I wont bore...

    Can I be less than a newbie?

    After having some pork chops a friend of mine smoked, I convinced the missus to buy me a smoker just like his. It turned out to be the Smoke Hollow 30168e model electric smoker. From the start I have had the following parts go bad, the first was one of the legs did not line up with the holes so...
