smoking recipes (smoker/BBQ)

[Gaust]

I have an offset smoker I use for large batches, but most of the time I use I use my Webber 22" grill for smaller stuff. I use the minion method, line 2 rows of coals 2 coals high 1/2 way around the edge. I put some wood chunks on the first 1/3 -1/2 of the coals. Light a small batch of coals in the chimney starter and transfer once they are going. This method works for a good 8+/- hours depending on the outside conditions without opening the lid.
For a pork shoulder I use a Memphis dry rub, add hot water to a tray right before I start the shoulder. Once the coals get to the end I wrap in foil and finish in the oven. Shred after resting add a little more dry rub and juices from the foil. Yumm!
Another favorite is jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped in bacon, and smoked.

I'm addicted to Cash N Carry spare ribs that I cut down to a Memphis style. Best ribs and the best price. This recipe is super simple and amazing for ribs. The honey, butter and brown sugar puts a perfect sweet and savory finish.

what do you use for keeping the wood in? just the tray that came with it ir something else?

My smoker wood tray is pretty good sized and soaked chips spread evenly across the bottom will keep smoke going for a good hour plus. After that, I add chips through a side door "flapper" as needed. However I have found that for turkeys, keeping smoke on them for 2 hours is about right. If you continue to smoke beyond that, the smoke becomes overpowering in the meat. 2 hours of smoke and then just let them slowly cook in the smoker until the internal temperature reaches 165 to 170. I have an iGrill2 bluetooth remote temperature probe that keeps me appraised of how they are coming along.

This is a great thread. Great recipes and knowledge here. I'd like to bring this back to the top, since I just bought an electric digital smoker off of amazon. Couldn't resist the price and free 2 day shipping. Anyone here have experience with the 30" masterbuilt smoker?? Seems like it is easy to use, it's well insulated and has plenty of room (730 sq. inches) for smoking dang near anything. I've been wanting one of these for a long time. Wish me luck....

Ha ha. You could have been smoking meat while working on cars and drinking beer. I think that's what I'll like the most about the unit I just bought. Electric/digital and easy to use.

This would be my ideal setup as I do not have access to good applewood and I'm not a hickory fan. If I lived down south and had access to good wood I would be a wood fire fan but as it is I use charcoal and wood chips.

Fire box on one side, grill in the middle (or you can smoke in it like I do now) and a smoker on the other side. Feeds a huge party!

Joe, I still like the looks of that bad boy. On my off time from work, I think I may build me one of those.......

Here are some of my favorite smoker/barbecue sites. Many tips and recipes to review. Different rubs for different meats. Wood is very important for the right smoke flavor. Just don't overdo it. To strong a smoke will ruin the flavor of the meat itself.

I do have a recipe but I have to scale it back & fine tune it for Kokanee (which is a smaller form of salmon).

Share your smoking rub recipes also what type of smoker you use and wood that you use.
Yes I am looking for your secret hand me down recipes. (if your willing to share) don't be shy it will be just be between you and me

I'm just starting and so far My rub is season salt and the wood is fresh cut apple twigs on a gas cajun injector smoker. I've got chicken down pretty good but I'm wanting to expand to ribs and brisket.

By Golly Wally you sure have got that Alpaca sausage recipe down pat!!! Good Lawdy it's good!!!
