Smoker Recommendations

[Hoppy Mad]

I used hickory chips that i bought form the local BBQ shop.

I served the pork with vegies,some pickles and a chipotle sauce that I bought.
It is winter here and the rolls would be good for summer.

My friends that I had around for dinner did not want any vegies only meat
and they have told several mutual friends that it was fantastic.

I had trouble getting the strike temp. but when I got that I had to keep adding coals every 90 mins to maintain it. The temp last Saturday was approx 7c in the morning and 14c during the day.


Cheers again.

I will also recommend the Weber Smokey Mountain. Please check out the virtual weber bullet http://tvwbb.com/eve?s=98110183&cdra=Y. It has everything from smoking instructions to butchering instructions and awesome smoker recipe forums

im planning on starting with something a little bigger. ill put up some pics once i get it started.
btw smoking tonight on iron bark dust and a few other herbs added.

I do the same sort of 6 and 6 that Elbone talked about, but I usually start my shoulder in the oven and finish it off on smoke and charcoal.

I have some friends who are very big fans of the big green egg http://www.biggreenegg.com/ and I've tasted the results: they're spectacular

As I recall, the big green egg is what the Jipper uses... I seem to remember him talking about it on one of the shows.

Cool idea! I can't think of any reason that wouldn't work perfectly. Plus you can time it so you get the "reveal" for your guests on the smoker. Bark will be nice and crisp. I'm gonna try this.

depending on what you want to spend, Weber bullet, Traeger, PRIMO, Green Egg, Gas, electric, charcoal or just a plain old 50 dollar smoker from HD or lowes?
Or the old do it yourself way.
I have smoked on just about everything and the end product turns out to be the same, some more work than others is what it comes down to IME
