Yuhp. In this tiny ass town where everybody definitely knew each other. Pulled in with the BMW and immediately got stared down and even had a couple locals follow me to the gas station. It was the sketchiest I've ever felt. Just seemed like one of those places you could "disappear" and nobody would ever say a word.

+1 on the apple and alder. The family doesn't like as strong a smoking taste, so I moved to these lighter woods.

I have a red bullet with an intervening water plate. I almost always fill it 50/50 with water/apple juice.

I've been grilling/smoking for years now, but am no expert by any means. I'm old fashioned (and broke) so I still use my charcoal barbecue to smoke. it works wonders, and honestly I don't mind tending the coals and watchign the temp. that's part of the fun for me, making sure it's perfect.

I looked into this one. It's great b/c you can put the wood underneath and you won't disturb the temp of the meat by opening the door. But i've read that over time (6-8 months) the doors become loose and it doesn't maintain smoke/heat as well.

I'm looking for a gas smoker myself. Or electric, but leaning towards gas.

it's not bad, but i need a bigger one

Take from a guy who cooked tens of thousands of ribs, steaks and chicken in a single summer.

So, when will be the date for the official "OT BBQ Cook Off" at your place?

BE CAREFUL with mesquite!!!!!!! you can very easily overpower your food with this wood. Pork is a forgiving meat to be smoked, but say you're smoking a brisket or anything beef, mesquite can actually make it bitter (actually poisons the meat, but not harmful to humans).

I've used hickory b/c i like the flavor. Fruit woods are GREAT for poultry and fish. I just smoked some mahi mahi last week with a mix of apple and maple...holy sh*t it was delicious.

just google basic rubs/marinades and vary the ingredients to your liking and make it your own.

When i get home i can add my rib rub recipe if you'd like, but only if you like spicy. if not, then don't add cayenne/paprika/cumin.

seriously though, smoking is great. experiment with different woods, rubs, and marinades and times and all that. smoking is an art and like anything else is going to take time to develop technique and know-how.

yes! i use a water/juice mix too for certain foods. a friend actually told me this little secret...add a few cloves of garlic and some chopped green and sweet onions to that mixture and enjoy. it's SO FCKING good.
