If you're interested here is a web site that gives you an idea how long to smoke different types of meat.

Love that site. You can sign up for his newsletters and get them emailed to you. He has so many good recipes, tips and tricks, and also his special rub (that you have to pay for) recipe.

Oh man, I'm going to have to try that! Do you brine it first?

No just some salt and pepper with a little teriyaki marinade brushed on.

Thanks I'll try it out.

I've been getting their newsletters since 2011. I bought his recipes back then too. Went looking for them a while ago, discovered that the .pdf files were on my old, extinction computer. And that the link to re-download them doesn't work anymore. So I emailed Jeff, the smoking guy, and he sent me a new link with the files! What a prince!

Thanks for the beef idea; I'm going to get a chuck roast on my next huntering and gathering expedition and try it out in there. I bet it will be fantastic.

Mason you can get the same thing in charcoal cheaper exact same smoker but uses charcoal.

The flavor comes from the wood chips,do you still use those with charcoal?
I have zero experience grilling,smoking.

Yes get the coals hot then throw soaked chips on the coals. Depending what you are cooking you may have to add coals to maintain temp.

I would add, don't add more chips each time you add charcoal, you can kill/overpower many meats & especially milder cuts, fish etc w/ to much smoke.

You can use just wood, but some woods will overpower & need to be "watered down".. Hickory, oak & Mesquite are pretty strong, apple, almond, cherry are fairly mild..

 

[Jade Dragon]

I prefer clean wood smoke. You can get local cherry wood chips up here.

Either way you get the taste of the wood not the charcoal. At least I couldn't tast charcoal.
