    Question on adding Bourbon flavor to smoked bacon

    I use Pop's curing brine for wet curing my pork belly (for 9 days) before smoking. I would like to try to introduce bourbon into the overall process for the added flavor. So I have a few questions: Which is the best approach: Adding bourbon to the brine during curing, or adding after curing...

    Horizon offset smoker, should I go for it?

    I have my eye on the Horizon 24” RD Special Marshal smoker. I’m about to pull the trigger and order it. However it’s going to cost $850 to ship it from Oklahoma to my home in Redwood City, CA (just south of San Francisco). It could still fit within my budget, but thought I should at least...

    Baby back ribs Q-View!!!

    Last weekend I smoked some baby back ribs.  And now I'm finally getting around to posting the Q-View.  It was sort of a spare-of-the-moment thing (discussed the day before) and we invited my brother-in-law, sister-in-law and their kids over for dinner.  Not only did the ribs turn out amazing...

    My 2nd salmon smoke--amazing results (with QView)

    This last weekend I finally did my second hot smoked salmon.  I used AKHap's method again and got amazing results (again).  Here's a few pics (QView)... These aren't the best fillets of Steelhead I've ever seen, but they were the best I found on short notice: 90 minutes in the brine (no...

    Valley Oak--good for smoking?

    There is large street tree down the block from my house.  It apparently is a Valley Oak.  I just realized that it has been "red tagged" by the city as being structurally unsound and is scheduled to be removed.  But the notice also says that usable wood will be left out for the public to take...

    I'm still a novice smoker, but was eager to try something new besides the usual baby back ribs.  I've been wanting to try my hand at smoked salmon for a while.  I think I do a good job at grilling salmon, but certainly wanted to start smoking as well.  After much research here on...

    My first time out--baby back ribs

    I'm new here, so if this isn't the appropriate forum, please let me know. This weekend was my first time out smoking.  I thought I would briefly share, as I'm fairly proud of how things turned out. I am using an older Char-Griller smoker with the side fire box (which I got from my Dad a year...
