Precise1 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I just got an electric smoker and I'm rather excited about it. Drip pan, water pan, chip loader, temp and time controller. I've done the faux smoking with a BBQ but skipped right over the charcoal stage for the ease and reliability of electric (got a pretty good deal at 6am on Friday sale, only one in stock). That should help me get the time and temp a constant and let me work on the other aspect. As with much BBQ, the marinade or rub is a key part also... Anyone have any recipes, tips or tricks for a novice smoker?? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 ooh, i live in smoker central, i'll ask some peeps for some good ideas/tips/recipies for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Thanks Slick. No one else?? Really?? Well, so far I have smoked tri tip steak, a small pork roast, some rock fish, several pounds of turkey sausage and a chicken. All have been pretty good but definitely still need refinement. I'll be getting a book or two to read up on some of the tricks. Pork loin must be mastered in addition to setting up a cold smoking system so I can smoke cheese, nutz and.... BACON!!

nige Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 One of my co-workers has one. He is constantly bringing in briskets and rye bread for snacks at work. He also does trout and salmon. You could get all euro and smoke some hotdogs lolol. his briskets are good, if you want me to ask him how he does them i'll let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 some gruyere would be good too. have you ever tried smoked cheddar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Smoked cheddar is delicious, smoked gouda is a treat too. I'm thinking a smoked garlic jack or pepper jack needs to be tried... Hell, I'll try muenster and havarti too!! Sure, if he has some tips for me, I'll listen!! I'm really interested in smoking fish... No hot dogs, thanks. I don't even eat hot dogs, much less waste wood chips on them... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Today we're having applewood smoked Bacon and Jalepeno wrapped Duck. The duck marinated for 48 hours in Yoshida's Teriyaki marinade and orange juice. The orange juice kills most of the overly gamey taste. We're also smoking maple Elk sausage, wrapped in Bacon. Ready to go on Edited December 8, 2009 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Today we're having applewood smoked Bacon and Jalepeno wrapped Duck. The duck marinated for 48 hours in Yoshida's Teriyaki marinade and orange juice. The orange juice kills most of the overly gamey taste. We're also smoking maple Elk sausage, wrapped in Bacon. I always liked the gamey taste of Duck. I don't mind it that much at all. Smoked cheddar is delicious, smoked gouda is a treat too. I'm thinking a smoked garlic jack or pepper jack needs to be tried... Hell, I'll try muenster and havarti too!! B I've had smoked horseradish cheese. wasn't too bad.
