    Smoking Wood from a Cabinet shop?????

    Sal, Cedar isn't a good smoke wood if you are talking to someone in the States. Some in Europe say it's okay and point to the fact that Black Forest hams are smoked over pine (Frankly, I think the wood is burned down to coals, largely eliminating the noxious resins, but what do I know). Only...

    digital scale

    Just for variety of choices, here's another. I have this one I use for sausage making. Works very well so far. Nice set of features.

    Smoking in the rain...any suggestions?

    Good one Jeff. The ingenuity of BBQers can't be beat. We need a slogan like the post office has - rain, nor sleet, nor gloom of night...will keep us from smoking our points, rounds, etc. I use a patio umbrella. It does the job. Just make sure it's stable so the wind doesn't knock it over.

    Doug's Smoked Mushroom Dip

    It was hilarious. "With what?" I was thinking - carrot sticks, celery sticks. My 4-year-old son, with a very serious look on his face as he thought about my question.

    How much charcoal will fit in your WSM and how long...

    Yeah, it's been discussed before, but that's okay. I've never weighed or counted briquets. I just fill the charcoal ring to the top, then move some out of the center to the edges to create a small indent to put the 10-12 lit briquets (Minion Method). It ends up being a domed over or heaping...

    Fire went out at around 8 hours...

    If the internal temp is 195, I'd wrap it in foil and rest it in a warm cooler with a towel or two wrapped around it and call it done.

    Smoking Wood Requirements

    The drying process is dependent on the weather also. I wouldn't go much less than 6 months unless the pieces were small and the ambient temp was high and the humidity low, then maybe 4 months. Downed trees or prunings are great, as well as "firewood for sale" IF you are sure of the identity of...

    How Much Rub

    As much as I can get to stick. There's so much meat that doesn't get seasoned (internal) that when you shred it and mix it in, it all balances out.

    BBQ Gloves

    I recently got a pair of these. They're great for picking up hot pork butt or brisket off the grill. Or anything else I'm cooking.

    thinking about thanksgiving

    I've done the brine for 48 hours (Shake's Honey brine minus the TQ) and it worked out fine. Cooked 'em at 250-260F (19 lber) took about 5.5 hours. Cooked 'em at 325F (again about 19 lbs) took about 3 hours. Looking for 160-165 in the breast.

    Do you baste or Mop your ribs?

    Used to, now I don't. First, it can wash off the rub. It doesn't add much flavor, that's what the rub is doing. If you cook the ribs right they'll be plenty moist. Every time you lift the lid you lose heat and extend/alter the cook. And the most important reason, I'm lazy! I'd rather be...

    Vinegar-Yellow Mustard Sauce

    Bruce, Danny's modified it since I picked up the recipe, so I still have the old version. I guess I need to update my records.

    Home-Cured Hams and Sausage?

    I'm no expert, but I've heard wiping it with vinegar is the way to deal with mold on the outside.
