Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Bigfoote13 mentioned sand as a wind break, and I'll have plenty of that at my disposal... do you think sand would get sucked up into the smoker / onto the grub?

 

I mean something similar to this:

 

If I were you, I'd use your current set up. You already have proven it's capabilities, and you "know" how to use it. Why take the risk of using a new smoker that you have no experience with? Just save that bit of money towards a real smoker, something I definitely see in your future!!! That's my opinion, and worth what you paid for it.

 

Yeah, I'm hooked

The only issue with my current setup is the cook surface is only about 12 x 12, and that's it. Not very much for feeding 6 people, unless I time everything out so it's not all served at once. That's totally doable, but I thought maybe there's something out there small to transport but bigger cook surface. This Kingsford thing does fit both criteria. BUT... I am tempted to just stick with me current mojo, cuz like you said, it's working!

Decisions, decisions.

 

Water in the water bowl sand around the bottom

 

And the sand doesn't get into the cooker and onto the food?

 

Maybe on a really windy day.

 

Kitchen aid mixer. No mess no work. Best way ever

 

Interesting please explain more in more detail

 

Ha, makes sense. Not with the paddle, but with the hook?

 

Po'Man!

 

They oughta hire you as spokesman... you do love your Po'Man

 

Hands.

 

I use the paddle. Just put it all in huge chunks then put it down and lock it and put it on speed 1-2. Then decide how pulled u want it.

 

Damn right! Listen, for $130 shipped from Amazon, this little thing turns out great Q! People wanna give me grief at work about it, but taste the damn results! It doesn't weigh crap, its no taller than your kitchen trash can....just saying!

 

I dig it. If I had planned ahead better, maybe...

 

I bet it get mistaken for you Kitchen Trash can on occasion

 

oooh...

 

I think the Po'Man is great, I've seen one in action. Genius idea.

 

Hey if it works don't knock it.
