    Mango wood for smoking?

    We recently cut down a mango tree in our yard. It was perfectly healthy, just something that unfortunately had to be done. I've looked online to see if anybody has used mango wood for smoking but I haven't found much. I haven't found many people talking about how their food came out, it's...

    Thailand wood options

    New to Thailand and don’t know where to get wood for my (future) smoker. Needing advice. 1) I’m in rural Surin and not a lot of options. Open fire cooking is common, and mostly they use natural charcoal. To me most of what I see is just old lumber. Oak, mesquite, hickory I cannot find. If you...

    Red (Willow) Oak splits

    So these splits come from a willow oak tree out of the red oak family. The color and texture (a bit stringy) seem a little different from what I’m used to seeing, but I wonder if that’s because they’re still so green. For those who have used a lot of red oak, is this roughly what you’re used to...

    Mold on bark only

    I know nobody is probably going to be able to tell me for 100% certain here, but just figured I’d ask for see what the opinion is. I just recently got a bunch of red oak (willow oak specifically) from a neighbor whose tree fell in a storm. Lots of rain for a few days before I could get to it to...

    Brisket - to slather or not to slather? That is the question

    I will be smoking a gorgeous 12-pound brisket for Father's Day next weekend. I've made a kick-ass rub that I've used before and the brisket came out perfect (see attached pics). I've read a few articles about using a simple yellow mustard slather prior to adding the rub and wanted to get the...

    Clean smoke, the final discussion

    Hi, I have been researching this for months. I've read about the combustion temperature of wood, watched harry soo explain this in a vid as well as several other people and I still cannot wrap my head around this. Example: Harry soo puts his wood chunks under hot coals and waits to see blue...

    BBQ Mates - BMS-5 Universal Offset

    Hi, Just a quick initial review really with a much better set of pictures... I haven't cooked on it yet, just seasoned it a couple of times now (lit it up to experiment with temp etc too) and I am nothing short of impressed so far. It's huge, especially next to the old char-griller! It comes...

    New to smoking in Mid-Coast Maine

    Hi, I recently purchased an Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn combo that has an offset smoker. I took my first stab at smoking a chicken the other day and had a dickens of a time keeping the temperature right. I also ended up with way too much white smoke. The meat tastes a little too smokey, but it came...

    Noob here. How close should chip bowl be to the element?

    First timer, no experience here so I have no idea what I'm doing. How close should the chip bowl be to the heating element? I assembled a cheap Masterbuilt bullet electric smoker and the instructions were... vague. If I install the heat shield (beneath the heating coil) one direction, the...
