Hey Rivet, happy to see you back!
It is important for everyone to remember a few things when they are thinking about trying new methods or foods in the smoker: what someone else may not like, thinks they may not like, or says doesn't sound good, should not become a deterent to your efforts. Their tastes and preferences are likely very different from yours. You may be on the verge of stumbling upon something totally off-the-wall and delicious, so don't let outside influences stop you. Plan it out carefully so you can give it your best shot. If it turns out to be remotely close to what you imagined it would be, you've succeeded, IMHO. If it's way out in left field, you can re-work your plan and try again.
There are tons of inspirational threads and members here on SMF. I know, because many had a huge impact on my own personal successes with smoking. There are numerous things I've tried that were inspired by another member here in some way or another. Quite a few things I've done were experimental and very intetresting to plan and follow through. During some of my planning and prep work, my wife may have given me a strange look, along with a few concerned comments when she first heard what I was up to that particular day, but I never let it get in the way of my creativity. And, best of all, when the smoke cleared and we sat down to eat, it was smiles all around, if for no other reason than having something new to eat...never had a serious flop...yes, a few minor changes in method were needed now and then, but there was always a very good meal waiting for us, even on the first try.
So, when you have an idea you want to try, or want to replicate something you saw or have eaten, plan it out and let it happen. I tend to just roll with whatever feels good that day, and I've had very few disapointments along the way.
OUFAN75, I settled on my avatar line a few years back (I change the photo now and then), and it speaks volumes about my attitude towards smoked foods. I say let it happen...if you don't, I probably will! LOL!!!
Have fun with it!
Eric
