Did an early St Pattys day smoke last night

[uscsoldier]

Wife and are are heading out of town today so I decided to do an early St Pattys day smoke yesterday. Picked up a 3lb corned beef and some jalapeños. And I usually throw a chicken breast or 2 on the smoker for lunches the next day. jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, mozzarella, extra sharp cheddar, bacon bits, fresh clams, bread crumbs, minced garlic, chives and spices. Smoked for 2 hrs at 225 with a mix of hickory and peach wood.

Mouth watering.....What smoker are you using?

I picked up one of these from Bi-Mart for $175. I've had several different smokers (I refuse to buy a treiger) and this is by far the best and most convenient setup I've owned.

Yeah I've looked at them. My problem is, can you get that down to 150 degrees in summer and still produce smoke? How long have you had it so far? I'm not sure I do enough other smoking to justify, but then looking at your goodness there....Maybe I should?

I use one for all temps, even cold smoking cheese and such at 75°- 90°. Just get a cold smoke generator. I use an A-MAZE-N.

Question for the propane smoker guys:

Can you add (and how) soaked wood chips or does it smoke in a different manner + is there a place for a pan of water/beer at the bottom to catch the drippings and keep the smoke moist?

These seem closer to my future price range - the pellet grills are spendy and from what I understand they are a little spendy to feed with pellets.

I've only ever used charcoal to smoke with and have grilled with propane but that's it unless you want to count campfire cooking - which I am a master at

I bought the maze for, I think, $30 on Amazon. They make some tubes that look cool also.

I use soaked chunks in mine, works great. I also use vine maple, apple, cherry, alder that I cut myself. Also works great. You just drop them in the provided medium tray.
Comes with a liquid pan to catch drippings and put your beer or whatever in.

There is a tray that pulls out for adding wood. If you look at the amazon link I posted there are some good pictures. Yes there is a pan for beer/water

Looks great. I have heard good things about smoking corned beef but have never tried it. Your post makes me want to change that and do one. Happy Saint Patty's Day.

I got my brother one of the tubes. Works perfectly.
