    All Wood as the fuel source???

    Having again re-read the OP, I'm left with a question.  What size is a 'small log' and what size is a 'large log'? The answer to this question could well resolve the issue altogether. :) lol

    All Wood as the fuel source???

    COS=cheap offset smoker. I agree about not confusing the thread with other types of smokers. I've been rocking my COS for 4 years now. From trial and error, I stand by the method I mentioned in my earlier post. And as mentioned above, as long as the fire is actively burning (small fire is the...

    All Wood as the fuel source???

    I start with a base of 15-20 briquettes of charcoal for 2 main reasons. It's a hassle free way to get the fire started, and I don't have a supply of wood that's free, so I don't want to use a lot of my cooking wood to start fires. :) If I had land with lots of trees on it, I'd probably never buy...

    What is your first smoke on a new smoker? (Now with Q-view!)

    Chicken or pork. Pieces of chicken if they're cheaper (leg quarters are regularly 59 cents a pound around here). First couple runs, do something cheap; that way if it doesn't turn out well, you haven't killed $40 or more worth of meat. Once you get to know your setup and how it runs, move on to...

    20# Turkey

    Low temp. Finish those. :) Crisps the skin, but requires vigilance.  If it comes off the smoker at  a 'done' IT, broil. If the wind blows out your fire, 375 degree oven. Just watch it, and use a thermometer.

    20# Turkey

    I injected mine with seasoned clarified butter. 5 sticks worth. lol Season to your own taste (and whoever you're feeding). Mine was mostly Cavendar's Greek Seasoning and generic 'Poultry seasoning'.  Clarify your butter, or the bird will do it for you, and it's disturbing to people that don't...

    20# Turkey

    Is it thawed? lol T-1 is late for brining, imo. :) Inject, if thawed, and smoke away. I don't brine my 'enhanced' birds.  If not thawed, cold water method. Do NOT put a semi-frozen bird into any cooking apparatus. EVER! Happy Thanksgiving, and God bless. Shawn

    Bacon in my turkey?

    Nay. At most, if smoking a bird (lower temps than typical oven-roasting), quarter an onion and halve a head of garlic, place half of each in the cavity.  Heat needs to get into the cavity.

    Question about wood...

    Isolate the wood from the actual fire. I.e., either wrap in foil or use a 'chip box' or a small cast iron pan. Something along those lines. Soaking makes steam/white smoke, as noted above, and the chips/chunks will catch fire regardless.  Isolation from the fire is key.  Last year, Wal-Mart...

    Brining - can you reuse the mixture?

    Search here for 'stringy brine'. 'Nuff said. Salt is cheap, and so is water. Hospital bills are not.
