Thank god Paul spoke up! I was going to pipe in myself! I usually plan on 1 lb or a little more per person, and I have a good amount left over.

My wife loves ribs, so this weekend I decided to make her some BRITU. I followed the recipe, which seemed simple enough. However, when the ribs hit the cooker, the temperature dropped to about 230, then after a little while (an hour) it started dropping dramatically. I started opening the...

Thanks guys! I tried to give props to the site. Now, if we had a t-shirt or apron available, I could wear one during the filming....

.... and hopefully coming in gradually... videos of these recipes actually being done!!

Well thanks for the props and the requests guys! So far we have: Brisket Salmon Butts Ribs The only one of those I've done before is a brisket (remember, I've only had the smoker about 4 months!) so I will have to test it out first. I plan to do butts anyway. I'll plan a smoke in the next...

Well, surprisingly, people liked my video!! I'm so happy somebody is getting something out of it. Maybe I will do it again with another type of meat. I'll keep in mind, bob, the deal with the cooler and the bags. I'm not Bobby Flay. Hell, I'm not that baby-faced... but hell, Bobby Flay...

I guess it would be helpful if I left the link ? HEHE. The links are: Higher Quality is at http://www.israel-family.org/videos/TurkeySmoke-High.wmv Lower Quality is at http://www.israel-family.org/videos/TurkeySmoke-Low.wmv

We smoked another turkey for Christmas. I think it actually came out BETTER than my thanksgiving turkey! As promised, I made a video of the process. It's about 11 minutes long and the high quality is about 19 MB (The lower quality is about 8.5 MB). Sorry for the poor sound, we're testing the...

I have a redi-check smoker thermometer as shown here (http://thegadgetsource.com/011502013733.html) I'll get the video together and some photos and post them here.

I stole an idea from Emeril (I don't care what anybody says, I like him!). Like these guys say, you can use a coleman cooler, but I put it in a plastic garbage bag with the brine and cover it with ice.

Hi gang, I did my first turkey on thanksgiving. I bought a standard Albertsons turkey (it was buy 1 get 1 free) to do a test run (my turkey was not the big mama for dinner, just a test run for christmas). I basically followed the recipe on the COOKING page. I brined the turkey overnight...
