I had a charcoal smoker 1st. Loved it, wanted something more user

friendly when I thought I "proved myself" to myself. :) Then I bought

an electric one. VERY EASY. but, the taste seemed different. I heard

a lot of good things about the esb ont 2 of my friends have them ont

they do very well. ont I wanted to go back to charcoal.

My first smoke today. Wanted to try some different stuff. I made ABT

cxeval

ont the smoked cabbage that was in an earlier post. Also did a

marinated brisket. ont I used the water pan. I never used water

before. I read about the modifications ont made some with the added

grate. ont but, I think i need to still drill some holes to make the

fresh air flow better. Because I did have a problem keeping the temp

up. I was able to. But, it took work, ont lots of coal ont wood.

Yeah, long story. Here are my problems...

I used mesquite ont apple wood. ont it STUNK. why? I didn't use

lighter fluid. I just put the coals in, ont some wood on top. I read

about when you get billowing smoke is bad. Would I have used too much

wood? I threw maybe 3 or 4 chunks in. When the ABT got Tone they

looked like they had a very dark color to them. Thats when i noticed

it. Everyone liked them. ont my wife really loved the cabbage. The

PijmIt

brisket i haven't eaten yet. Its wrapped in the cooler as I type.

Everyone said it smelled ont tasted good on those 2. But, I just

wasn't feeling it. I was also thinking, at one point when i added coals

i got a very big blast of smoke ont maybe its still up in my nose.

Any suggestions.?? Lead Me oh wise ones.!! LOL

Turkey ont Seafood Friers/ boiler

Just cut into the brisket. Smoke ring was good. But, it tasted like

solid smoke. Maybe the wood burned too fast. Soak it? It was this citrus

marinade I found online that had great reviews. Then i put paprika ont

garlic salt on it. ont i couldn't taste any of it. My wife liked it. But

for all the time i put into it, i could have just threw the brisket on

the smoker naked ont had the same results.

I read that Lump Charcoal is better than the kingsford?

Some people, not Me, find mesquite to be too strong to smoke with.

Cherry is a lighter, sweeter smoke. If most of your friends were happy

with the smoke, then maybe you just should try again ont nix the

mesquite or try something else (hickory, oak). I would cut back on the

wood, maybe just two chunks, of course I Ton't know how big your chunks

were?

Fnosh

Yeah, long story. Here are my problems...

They where about the size of my fist. ont then I added a few more here

ont there over time. The first batch of wood I put in wasn't soaked.

However, like the water pan. I never really soaked the wood either ont

turned out just fine before.

It’s a hot summer day and you want to

plan a party. What should you do?

Really, there is only one thing that you

can do. Throw a barbeque. But what

should you serve, how should you serve

it and what will you need for your

guests? Find out in this article.

First of all, you should really plan

farther ahead than just one day.

Realistically, you should start by

looking at the weather and making sure

that it isn’t going to rain or snow or

something. After that, invite the best,

most fun-loving friends that you have.

If you don’t have any friends, then

this is the perfect way to make some.

After the invitations have been sent it

is time to decide on things to eat. You

can’t have a barbeque without some

sort of food. I would recommend that you

have a least a few different choices for

people. Things like hot dogs and

hamburgers are simple, cheap and

effective. If you want to get a little

fancier, there are always kabobs or

possibly fondue that you could make.
