This morning I happened onto another site and found a thread that mentioned baked apples. It pointed back to the recipe here. That struck me as a good thing. I picked up some Milky Ways early in the day. I had hopes of getting some apples at a farm I went to today, but did not. I ended up...

I am contemplating purchasing a Stoker. I have not found an answer to the following. I know one can monitor the smoke via a web page on the local network. Is there any way to automatically ftp those data to a site on the Internet so others can follow the cook?

Sorry, I've been off the board for a few days. I set up the OTG for medium direct. All I used was mesquite. I think I was looking to cook this for 15-20 minutes. At that point most of the fish was done but the thicker end. I rotated the plank to take the fish off save the thick end and cook...

Mesquite. All I have on hand currently. I did a few ABTs at the same time.

I fixed one today. I scolded myself for not leaving out the sweets since it was going in a risotto, but I think it worked all jazzed up. Thanks for the direction. I did not cut the squash in half well. I pulled it at a little over three hours. This could have gone longer, particularly the...

Everything I have read said to scrub well. I did that. I think the plank could be used again. I am not certain it will go three times. I am also not certain I would put anything other than fish on this plank.

I've been looking to expand my repertoire with the grills although I had no plan to do so today. I just got a desire for seafood and decided to see how cedar planks work. I picked up everything I needed. I was looking for salmon when I spotted a nice sea trout fillet. I changed course and...

So you put it skin side down? Roughly how long does it take to smoke? I understand size, temp, etc. will affect that time. My mouth is watering at the thought of this now.

I like risotto. The other day I stumbled across this You Tube video for a butternut squash risotto. That sounds like something I might like. I was thinking . . . smoking butternut squash would probably taste good. I imagine others have smoked squash b4. Any thoughts as to how to do this...

FWIW, here is a link to the product's web site.

I am not a real demonstrative person. Yet I feel a need to say Thank you. Last year I toyed with the idea of getting a smoker. I put it off after researching a bit. I came back to this idea in July. I kept trying to determine what kind of smoker to get. After reading thread after thread...

After purchasing the WSM this summer, I began smoking lots of baby backs and butts. Everywhere I looked though, it seemed folks were cooking spares. I see them at the store but have been intimidated. Well, on Friday when I was picking up some butts, I decided to pick up a package of spares...

Just cleaning up from making this for the first time this evening. We loved it! This is exactly what the chicken tasted like from the firemen during my youth. Of course, I am still learning my OTG. I had much too hot of a grill. The skinned charred (as did the corn) much more than the...
