    Smoking Ground Meat

    Oklahoma Joes offset. Do you smoke and chop up the meat at the same time? Just wondering if the fat cooking out would take the smoke flavor with it when I drain the meat.

    Smoking Ground Meat

    So tonight my daughter gave me the idea to add smoke to our Sloppy Joes, which sounds like a helluva an idea to me! Now for the part that stumps me..... Do I cook the ground burger first and then throw it on the smoker, or do I smoke the meat first and then cook it?

    Birthday PP ?'s

    Isn't that a requirement?!?! It didn't turn out too bad. It wasn't as good as the one I did last week, but I don't think there will be any family memebers leaving the party hungry tomorrow!

    Birthday PP ?'s

    I just preped it about an hour ago with the mustard and rub. It was 2 shoulders in one package. It will be more than we need for the party so the leftovers will be going to work with me on Sunday...the fellas will have it finished up no problem!

    Birthday PP ?'s

    It's a boneless shoulder, so the bone is a non issue. The only reason I am thinking about halfing it is because I've never done a piece of meat this big. I'm a rookie smoker so it's a little daunting. I assumed that if I half them then the low heat and smoke would circulate around the two...

    Birthday PP ?'s

    Few questions comin here. I'm doing a pork shoulder this Friday for my boys birthday party on Saturday. This is only the 2nd shoulder I've ever done. It's a 15 lb shoulder. Can I cut the shoulder in half and do the smoke like it's two smaller shoulders? My thought is a little quicker cook...

    Maple Syrup?

    I was thinking about using maple syrup instead of the yellow mustard for my next cook. We make our own syrup and it really has a nice earthy and somewhat smokey flavor to it. Would the sugars in the syrup burn too much? I don't want to over carmalize it and have a really hard outer bark...

    New Smoker & First Shoulder

    Finally got a new backyard smoker. Been using an El'Cheapo for a few years now and decided it's time. I seasoned it up the other day and have been looking forward to getting some animal muscle on it! So far it has basically been just ribs for my cooks. Today is gonna be my first pork shoulder...

    Black Walnut?.....

    How is the smoke flavor from chunks of Black Walnut? After the ice storm we had here in Michigan just before Christmas I now have an abundance of Black Walnut I could use in the smoker. Is it worth cutting up and splitting into the right size pieces or shiuld I just use for the fire place. Thanks.
