wtnhunt Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 If you did not get any instruction in your owners manual, pretty sure you can find guidelines for meats on the internet. If not, I have a couple different manuals with suggested temps and times based on weight, I could come back when I have a little more time and post some of that. Best advice I could really give is to get a good thermometer, preferably a remote thermometer, cook slow up until the meat is as done(to temp) as it has to be. Avoid overcooking meats.

Snipe Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 this is my first time ever trying to smoke food. is there any website that is extremely helpful. i need to know more info about smoking. such as recipes and how long to smoke foods and for what temp thanks nathan You can swing by http://www.smoked-meat.com and go the forums...Lots of help and info there.. Make sure you season your smoker before you smoke any meats.. Get yourself a good remote thermometer like the Maverick ET-73.. That way you can monitor the temp of your smoker and the meat at the same time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Metal Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I think the jury may still be out on that verdict... I'm gonna sign up there bro. BTW, I've only been smoking meat for 1 year exactly this month. And man, am I ever hooked! It's all I think about during the week and what I look forward to doing EVERY weekend. I smoked all through winter too, even in the "teens" a couple time....had a heck of a time keeping my Silver Smoker at temp! LOL! Happy smoking! Snipe® is actually THE man! Kidd and Redkneck, are also longtime smokers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Kidd and Redkneck, are also longtime smokers. LOL. Not a long time smoker here, but have been using a smoker for cooking meats for several years. Just picked up a butterball breast the other day to put on for a Mothers day meal this weekend. Gotta love a good hickory smoked bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I think we just like to eat man! If a man gets hungry enough he has to learn to cook! lol.... Seriously, that site heavymetal mentioned above is wonderful with lots of super nice people there willing to share recipes with you. Currently I am "between" smokers. By charcoal crapped out, and I got a brinkman gourmet on loan from the fire dept cuz we never use it up there, but i got to take it back one day. Troy, did you ever build your smoker yet?

And with this diet I've been on, there's been no room for butts, ribs, and such. Hard to beat a good piece of smoked turkey, I'd rather have it than ham any day if it's done right.

oneshot Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) If you guys want some really good smoked meat try one of these Traeger smokers. I've had mine 2yrs and it is fantastic!!!! You really can not screw it up with this smoker. Here's the link: http://www.traegergrills.com/?gclid=CKvJjebU244CFRcXIwodykaQ-A Watch the video with Terry Bradshaw and Jay Leno, very funny!!!! And here's some pics of mine with the results. Pork roast. The smoker in the winter smoking a Prime Rib using cherry. It was freezing out but the taste was fantastic when it was done. Now that was some great eatin there. Mmmmmmm:p:D:D:D Edited May 29, 2009 by oneshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Metal Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Sweet Rig! I cut and cure all my own smoking wood/chunks. Those pellet/puck jobbers would never do for me. I checked out the link...they got some NICE stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked out the link...they got some NICE stuff! It's surprising how well those pellets work, they are easier and the flavor is every bit as good if not better then using wood chunks, without all the extra work. I've had guys that have smoked meat for years tell me my smoked meats are the best they've ever had.....My favorite is pork roast using maple.......:) Edited May 30, 2009 by oneshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
