Has anyone used Guava wood for salmon? If so, what were the results? Unless I hear different prior to starting my WSM up, I'm going to use Guava.

I have some left-over smoked turkey and was wondering if someone had a good turkey salad recipe. I searched the recipe folder and only found a recipe for chicken salad. Should I simply substitute turkey for chicken and use that one? FYI: I used Keri's Apple Brine Recipe on the turkey.

I've decided to use Keri's "Apple Juice Brine" recipe for my first turkey smoke. I just pulled the turkey out of the brine after soaking for 24 hours. The recipe says to let dry in the refrigerator. Does this mean to let it sit "out in the open" inside the refrigerator, or do you put saran...

I purchased an insulating blanket for a hot water heater to use on my WSM. I've searched the message boards here to see if I could find some detailed information on how to properly trim the insulation ("X" feet by "X" feet; wrap with a bungie cord, support with bricks to keep from blocking...

I will be starting my first all night smoke tomorrow night with 3 Boston Butts. The total weight of all 3 is approximately 18 pounds (2 from BJ's totaling 14 pounds and 1 weighing 4 pounds). I'll use the Minion Method with applewood in the charcoal, but I'm not sure how many lit charcoals I...

I followed the recipe titled Pit Pot Roast found in Smoke & Spice. http://home.earthlink.net/~wbmeeks/

I just received my 3 free samples of wood pellets from BBQ Delight and can't wait to try them out. I was wondering what other people had found from using these samples. Do you prefer pellets or chunks and why? Is there a cost difference, is it a matter of convenience to use one over the...

It appears as though a lot of people here have a FoodSaver for vacuum packing their food. I purchased the FoodSaver 1050 a few months ago and have noticed the red light come on to indicate the sealer is operational even when I'm sealing one of the canisters. From watching the tutorial video, I...

A fellow co-worker gave me some grape wood the other day claiming he used it to smoke his Thanksgiving turkey. Has anyone else used grape wood before? If so, what food or food group would you recommend smoking with this wood? Kevian
