    always brine?

    I assume the brine is to prevent the growth of pathogens, right? is it possible to smoke fish, fresh off boat without wet or dry brining? i want to make my smoked fish dip for a party later but don't have time to brine. any suggestions?

    Advice - 16 lbs Turkey in Masterbuilt Electric

    Hi all - New to the forums - looks like a great resource! I recently got a Masterbuilt 30" electric smoker (replacing a previous one I had that was not taken care of properly), and I'm familiar with smoking at a basic level. I've done ribs, chicken, and Turkey before, but not a 16 lbs one. I...

    First Pastrami in a WHILE

    So I'll be starting my brine tonight for my first pastrami in probably 10 years. I'm planning on separating the point and flat because I only have about 7-8 days to cure plus I have limited storage space for a packet in my fridge all week (my wife would kill me). I'd love to hear any...

    Don't heat pink cure in your brine.

    You look at 100 brine recipes containing curing salt and you will find that 95% of the recipes call for or say that you can heat the mix on the stove and whisk or stir while boiling. I am in the camp of playing it safe and not heating my brine with curing salt in it. You may not have heard...

    To brine or not to brine

    Hey guys, I was planning on making Jeff's bacon wrapped chicken legs this weekend. The recipe doesn't say anything about brining, but in other places on the website he says to always brine chicken. Does this apply only to whole chickens and chicken quarters? Anyone made this before? Thanks

    Rethinking Smoked Almonds

    I smoke a LOT of almonds, more than any other food. However, I became increasingly dissatisfied with the results. For almost two years, I have been trying variations on Todd's smoked almond recipe that comes with his AMNPS smoking tray. They are tasty, but there is no way to avoid the sticky...

    Thanksgiving Spatchcocked Smoked Turkey on Old Country Wrangler Smoker

    First of all, I’ve never tried smoking a turkey. I’m mainly a brisket, ribs, and pork butt guy. And, we are very near Greenberg Smoked Turkey, Inc. So, I can stop by there anytime and buy a smoked turkey. Greenberg’s ships all over the country, and their turkeys are always great. However...
