Title: Just got a smoker
Post by: Gnslngr on April 30, 2004, 12:18:27 AM
Wanted any advice/recipes for smokin food.  Just got a brinkman smoker (27.99).  Its an upright kind were the charcoal/wood chips are at the bottom w/ a water pan above it w/ 2 wire racks for the food above them.

I plan on smoking some whole chickens this weekend.  IF anyone has any good recipies/advice for rubs.....what kind of wood chips to use.....how long you cook for....and best of all RIBs.  I'd appreciate it.

Congradulations on your EZBake oven. This is a smoker.

There should be a neat little catalog with that smoker, I have one myself. You really need the rib racks and the chicken stands. If not, do a google on Brinkman. You can order online and they are FAST!

I use a mixture of charcoal (use a brand you like with seasoned chunks, like hickory, mesquite, or whiskey flavoring) and water soaked smoking chips of the wood you like the flavor of..

If you get the chicken stands you can put an open beer (can) in the chicken, and smoke it that way. Moist, tender, flavorful, and delicious.

I make my own sauce, marinate my ribs overnite at least, and smoke them in the racks I bought from the catalog. With two full racks, one on each grill, you need about 3 hours or so to smoke them.

Most of those smokers have a temp guage on them, keep it in the middle of ideal or closer to hot. I added two vents to my smoker with shutters to keep it hot.

Another great thing to smoke is pork tenderloin roast. Get the ones with the little popup to tell you when they're done. Again, a good marinade makes it happen.

I also smoke marinaded venison in mine. Shoulder or ham from a good sized deer is excellent.

I tend to use Jack Daniels as a marinade, although a low priced burgundy is also an excellent choice.

The store bought marinades are a good place to START. Buy them and develop a recipe to suit your taste.

Beware gorcery store marinades and marinading wines, they can be LOADED with SALT. Enough to choke a horse to be exact.

Prepare to get fat. Or excercise a lot.

This is really my own makeup here...I ahve made it often and dont have measurements as I do it by tase...But here ya go....

CHicken....Lemon Pepper in a lil beer. Garlic , Salt , and a Bit of Tequilla.

Ribs or Brisket....1 can of Beer (If doing alot of meat). Mix in Heinze 57 , Garlic , small amount of Cayenne , Pepper , Salt , Lime Juice and just a lil bit (depending on your preference) of  Minced Onions.....

Use Mesquite if ya can...Or Oak soaked in water for a while...then let if dry some..so its not to wet. It will smoke well.  

Best tips I got.:)

next time you drop it on the ground, brush it off first before cooking. Might want to remove the testicles beforehand too..

I use a propane fired smoker myself. It has a cast box with a lid that has holes in it that you put your smoking woodchips in. When smoking briskets I like to smoke them at over 250 deg untill they have the main smoke flavoring and a brown color then I wrap the briskets in aluminum foil and cook them until they have the tenderness I am looking for at 180 to 200 deg.

Using gas has accelerated the process for me to where I can smoke 4 large 20lb briskets in 5 to 6 hours total time. If I want them so tender they just fall apart I can cook them in the oven for a couple hours or so in their original wrapping at about 200 deg.

I use Montreal Steak seasoning from Sam's Warehouse as a rub most of the time but be careful how much of it you use because there is a lot of salt in it. I like to rub the briskets down about 2 or 3 hours before I put them in the smoker.

Smoking meats is fun :)

TEXAS STYLE BRISKET. BRUSH a lot of regular yellow mustard over the entire brisket and let it stand overnight.
OAK chips and a Temperature of 200 to 220 degrees for 8 hrs.
Wrap in foil and put in oven at 200 degrees overnight cook.
I make my own sauce.
TENDER, TENDER,TENDER you would not believe.:aok
