Hello,
My name is Bob, and I live in london Kentucky. I am new to the forum here. However I have been monitoring the group @ YaHoo for several months. I am also new to smoking meat. I know nothing about it. I would like to learn though.
I saw some Pork Butt at my local Save-A-Lot at a reasonable price. Most of the fat had been trimmed off. I also saw something that they called a Pork Sirlion Roast. Quite Reasonable. $3 - $5 for a few pounds. Nice and fatty on one part of the outside. The rest was quite lean. Would that be okay to smoke?
I would need to learn what to do with what ever I choose to try for the first time. Would I need to soak it in a brine solution? Would I use a dry rub on it? Marinade it? Baste it alot?
I have a new Brinkmann Charcoal Water Smoker. Haven't put it together yet. Do I use just Charcoal? Or, would I also use some type of wood? Where do I get the wood? Would Wal-Mart sell wood to use for smoking?
I apologize for not knowing anything. But I really honestly don't have a clue, but feel that I can learn if lead in the right direction. Now I don't have a lot of money to work with here as I am on Social InSecurity Disablility.
Thanks for any help on this.
