    Smoke Corned Beef?

    As my wife and I were having our annual Irish American St. Patrick's Day supper of corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, onions, soda bread, and Guinness... an interesting question came up. What would the taste be like if you smoked a corned beef brisket, and which would be better for smoking? We...

    Magnolia Wood?

    I've never heard of anyone smoking with Magnolia wood, but my boss is about to cut down a Magnolia tree in his backyard and I was wondering if the wood would be any good to smoke with. I know the blossoms have a very pleasant scent, but I don't know if it would venture into fruitwood flavor...

    Thinking about cooking...

    I want to do a brisket and a couple of butts in the same smoker. Should I put the brisket on the top or the bottom? I use the factory set-up with water in the pan. In the past, I've basically only done butts and chicken. I've not done a brisket on a smoker, and I was wondering if it's...

    Good smoke tonight

    We're going to be doing a friends and family smoke tonight. We're smoking a butt for a youth get together tomorrow, smoking 2 chickens for a friend, and doing a pork tenderloin for my parents. Any suggestions, specifically for the tenderloin, as to time and heat? I think we're good for the...

    Pop Sauce

    I thought I'd share one little sauce recipe I've become addicted to. It's from the Jack Daniel's Old Time Barbecue Cookbook, called Uncle Lester's Pop Sauce. 1 Cup of Coca-Cola (I use Coke, anyway, you could use Pepsi or I suppose even RC or Big K...) 1 Cup of Ketchup (I like Heinz) 1/3 Cup of...

    Butt 1.19

    I have a friend that works at an old-fashioned grocery store where they actually butcher meat and cook food for people and all that kind of good stuff. He said he could get me some bone-in butt for 1.19; I know at the Wally World it's 1.62, but how is that price compared with everywhere else?

    Central KY Smoke Wood

    Does anyone know of any brick and mortar stores around Central Kentucky (Lexington area) to get good smoke wood? We've made due with the hickory chunks (NOT CHIPS) from Wal-Mart for a while, but I'm looking for something a little more sizable and consistent. Any thoughts, feelings, or...

    Pics From Sunday's Smoke

    Talk about fall apart! We couldn't even lift the butts out of the resting pan before the bone came out. EXTREMELY pleased with the way everything turned out, tasted, felt, looked... everything. Here are the pics: Small Butt - Fall Apart! Both Butts Both Butts Mass of Pulled Pork It's About...

    Yay! Our first long smoke

    Luke here, and it's 4:00 a.m. local time. We ended up putting on 2 butts - one at 8lb and one at just under 6lb. This is our first "extended smoke" on our WSM. We cooked some chicken thighs for about 1.5 hrs the night we got it and were impressed then by how it held such a steady temp. Just...
