I just bought two taylor probe type therms and a taylor digital instant read therm. I just did the boil test and one probe was 206*, the other probe was 208* and the instant read was 208.5*. I was just wondering if there was a way to check what temp. water should boil at in my area as...

I take it if a recipe just says "oak" it means White Oak?? Ron

I've never used oak before but was wondering...is it Red Oak or White Oak they use for smoking, or both?? Ron

you are right on Chris(as were the others). I don't know how I missed that. I've been to the cooking section a hundred times... ron

I may actually have an advantage when it comes to 'having a good relationship with your butcher'....as my butcher is the Uncle of my VSO. Hmmmm....why aint I married her yet??

thanks for your help!

Hello all, I know meat selection has been covered before. Can anyone send me in the right direction? I'd like to try a brisket and pork butt but I don't think I've ever even seen one! And if not available already a meat selection section covering the most common BBQ'd meats may be...

Thank you all for the info.... Doug, I live in Southgate, Mi. About 10 minutes south of Detroit. One more question...I think I'll get the Taylor digital probe, but what about an instant read type? I've heard nothing but good about that Thermopen but I don't think I can bring myself to...

Hello all! I followed the recipe on this site for doing a butterball turkey in the 12lb. range. Turned out pretty darned excellent. Fired up a full chimney, and after those got going tossed another full chimney on top, in the WSM. Spiced up the turkey, threw 3 medium apple chunks on, and...

Hello all, I've so far only used my WSM for smoked salmon(Delicious!!). I want to barbecue up some turkey's tommorrow for my parents(Dad's birthday). I have a couple 8-10lb'er butterballs but they are currently froze. How can I thaw them in time? Then, how do I cook them? All I have...

I'm going to make the salmon recipe on this site and was wondering if apple wood would work well. Its all I have. Also, if it is fine to use the apple, how much?? Thanks, Ron

I don't think I said it well enough in my first post....THE SALMON WAS UNBELIEVVABLE!!! I just tore into a good sized fillet and it was moist and delicious!! Crispy on the outside and oh so tender on the inside. Lacking a smoke flavor but as I said that was my fault. Definately the best...

My WSM is no longer a Virgin! Just took the salmon off, its delicious. I will say tho that it is not what I was after. As I stated before I wanted a salty/very dry salmon for a good appetizer/snack. It wasn't the WSM(of course)it was me. I think I know where I went wrong. I have actually...

so far smoke is going good. I was wondering about the internal temp for salmon. I know its between 140-155* depending on a persons preference, but aren't these temps for more of a 'dinner' salmon? The salmon I'm smoking I want to turn out kind of salty/dry, say for a great snack whilst...

Guru's, Finally getting ready to fire up the WSM for the first time! I'm going to do the smoked salmon(appetizer version) in the cooking section of this forum. I have a total of six fillets(yep, six!) I'm going to do two fillets with recipe mentioned above using corn cobs for smoke...

Before I do my first cook on my shiny new WSM I still need to get a thermometer. Only ones I can get around here are pyrex and accu-rite(these are the digital probe type). Anyone have experience with these? they range from $10 to $25. I also need to get a thermometer for the dome...a candy...

Thanks Dave... I think I'm going to whip up some of these for my SO's family on Thanksgiving. Also gonna do some smoked salmon. My WSM is brand new(week and a half and still hasn't been fired up)so tommorrow is going to be my first time using it.... Ron

What are these ABT's I keep reading about on this and biggreenegg site? Where is there a recipe? I searched biggreenegg and this site and cannot find a recipe.....from reading many posts it looks like this is one of the best things to make...... Ron

Hey thanks everyone....I called an apple orchard near my home and yes they have it. She told me $55 for a face-cord of wood which is a full pickup truck load. I said whoa! thats too much wood I just need 30 or so pounds. She said we'll work something out. If I had the storage space for the...

Thank you..... Ron
