I'm not new to cooking or having more than one poker in the fire but I've never "smoked" meat before. Lessons learned from a basic charcoal/water smoker, a decent temp probe and a very cheap piece of meat.

Smoking meat is fun. Low and slow.

It is fun. I can see how people get pulled into as a hobby and as a business.

Did you brine the meat? That is a great next step. My ace hardware has brine mix packets to start, but there are loads of easy brine recipes.

Try this before smoking a turkey.

I thought about doing a brine but didn't. I'll give it a go next time though.

Can u smoke my meat too, bro?

Teach a man to smoke his own meat and he'll smoke his own meat for a lifetime.

If I could I would, 24-7.

Going in for a drivers license photo at the DMV:

"Sir, please remove your hat. Also, for the love of god, get that out of your mouth."

my favorites in my smoker are fresh polish sausages, salmon or trout, pork shoulder and ribs. sometimes ill throw a chunk of meat in just a couple hours and then finish it off in a crock pot. good stuff.

Any good tips for a shoulder?

Rub it with yellow mustard. Yeah, just plain ol yellow mustard and then season liberally with your rub of choice. Spritz every hour or so with an acid based liquid. Wrap it in pink butcher paper at 160ish, smoke it to 205, pull it off, let it rest for 30 minutes, easily twist that bone out, shred and sauce it, serve it up with pickles and onions and then bask in the oooo's, ahhhh's & accolades of your assembled well fed guests.

Thank you. The hardest part is going to get that cheap smoker to get a slab of meat to 205. I dug out and used an old 5v USB desk fan and a USB power bank to help get the loin up to temp.

famous daves dry rub it, smoke it for 3 hrs with apple or cherry wood, finish it in the crock pot 6 - 8 hrs. Larger meat chunks like this, I usually smoke then finish in the oven or crock pot. Also depends on the season- smoking with snow on the ground is always finished inside, but smoking in the summer, many things can be fully cooked just in the smoker. At least thats my experience.

Thank ya. Finishing off in a crock or oven is a good idea and probably will have to be what I do with the POS I'm working with.
