Got a new smoker, what should I make first?
So I got a new smoker... I'd been wanting a new one for a while, and this one came at the right price: FREE!
It's a Bradley BTIS1 that a friend got and didn't want. Yeah, it's electric, but it was free. So brisket or ribs? I've been in Memphis for the past week, so pork butt is out. Or chicken? I saw some smoked Cornish game hens this week that looked pretty fantastic. |

I was curious as to why you apologize for getting an electric smoker?
are they not really smokers? |

I've smoked at least 45 pounds of Boston Butts each Friday night for the past 4 weeks. I need some extra cash and have several friends and family who are glad to eat some tasty pulled pork and help with my cause.
I have a 22.5 Weber Smokey Mountain and it is the cat's meow when it comes to smokers. I cook at 225 degrees and get the pork up to 190-200 internal temp before pulling them. I recently purchased a Maverick 732 Wireless Thermometer set so I can monitor it at night without having to get up and go outside every few hours. I'm still working out the kinks but I think I'm going to get some great use out of it. |

The correlation between electric smokers and those that are light in the feet and wear penny loafers is well established... NTTIAWWT

I've been doing the 3-2-1 at 225.
The first 3 hours I do not open the kid to spritz anything. They will get plenty of moisture when wrapped in foil.

Interesting. I may have to run some that way sometime. FWIW, the reason I have them on the top is because the vent is at the top and it is typically cooler up there and that is the least need for heat. Maybe basic barbecue fail, but I love the **** out of them that way and I can churn out a pissassload of Q in a day. |

Now the first thing you want to cook is duck. I know, I know. All aflac references aside they're a tasty treat.
Step 1 Pluck, don't ****, the duck...Catch duck pull out feathers. Step 2 Test for Acme explosives...they've been known to carry shit that flip their beak around Step 3 cook the duck. this is important. If this isn't done right the loud bastard will still walk, talk and bark. |

No offense intended, the smoke and temp argument is solid. But letting those drippings go to waste is a sad, sad thing. |
