Got a smoker
I got a meat smoker and need help from CP. I don't know how to even get started. Please help!
|
Put some meat in it.
|
You'll need a match.
|
Or a lighter.
|
So if it's a glory hole you're using just stick your sausage through.
|
Grab the back of the head/ took 5 responses( edit: Damn it).
|
Who would buy something that you don't know how to use? Pathetic.

soak chips. Light coals. Put lit coals on one side, put meat on the other. Once that is done put the soaked chips on the coals. Wait til done. Serve and enjoy

Put a pot of water on the stove to pre-boil your ribs.

First fire it up and cure it. A smoker will smoke ribs or brisket of pork shoulder pretty tender with very little prep. Lots of you tube videos on it and probably some with your exact smoker. I'm about to fire mine up and smoke a butchers cut pork shoulder. Nothing like smoked meat.! Enjoy.
|
What model? New?
|
Trial and error. Enjoy
|
Charcoal or electric? A little more info please.
|
What kind of smoker are we dealing with here, post some of the details.

Buy the book "Low and Slow" by Gary Wivot(?).
It's ****ing awesome and will tell you everything you need to know. I tell everyone just getting started to read that thing. It's the best, man. |

Hickory chunks for smoking. Temp varies by meat. 230 is good smoking temp for ribs. Just read that book I suggested. Fo' realsies. |

Sorry guys, I've grilled a ton, never smoked meat though. My father-in-law gave me a charcoal smoker. It a charcoal water smoker, it looks like the Weber on listed above in the link.

If you have the Weber, great. More likely you have an ECB. You can make decent Q with an ECB, but you are going to have to work at it and do some research. It takes some effort to keep a good low and slow fire going for 6 to 8 hours with one of these. Google "ECB mods" to learn how to modify your smoker to make it more suitable for true smoking. Start with a pork butt of around 6-8 pounds. Keep cooking these until you get it right, then you can branch out to other meats. |

The good news is that you came to the right spot. When it comes to meat, most of the men who are on this site have years of experience with all kinds of meat. They know how to pull it, rub it, moisturize it, tenderize it, and other various treatments that makes that meat just explode in your mouth. Certifiable meat experts they are. I wish I could help, but anytime I try to do something with my meat, it either ends up in the toilet or on a tissue.
Best of luck and I hope soon you have some delicious brown sausage exploding in your mouth. |
Don't worry -- Sully's quitting tomorrow: no more smoker.

Smoking your own meat is something most of us can only dream about. You, sir, are a lucky bastard.
|
Is is electric or what

This thread is worthless without pics of the damn smoker.

This is some good common type Lump Coal for long term smoking.

OP...anything else you need help with?
|
Alright guys, thanks for all the help. I got a pork loin and some spare ribs I gonna try smoking next Saturday.
I'm guessing the smoker is just a cheap one. The brand is a Morrone. |

Pork Loin would not be my first choice.(very lean) Smokers do great with fatty cuts of meat like Brisket or Shoulder or Ribs.
The long slow cooking times break down the meat and make it tender. Briskets used to be the choice of smokers,(they were .70 a lb) but smokers have made even the roughest cuts of meat expensive. You can also smoke veggies and Chicken. Lots of fun ahead. |
