Hello from Canada Eh!
« on: June 25, 2020, 09:11:36 PM »
Fedex showed up today with my 88lb bundle of joy. Got it unboxed and assembled and ready to season. Sadly it won't be until saturday but while its seasoning I will be brining something from the treasure trove of recipes in this forum.

I had planned to drive down in the spring, buy it, and bring it back over the border but Covid kinda put a crimp in those plans.

I only have a little experience with smoking, having owned a weber bullet. Mostly ribs and fish. Planning to do a lot more now.  :D

Love the forum (been lurking since last fall) and looking forward to getting to know y'all.

Thanks all. We got a ton of rain that kind of put a damper on our bass opener. Looks like I'll be using today the season the smoker. Trying to decide what my first smoke will be.

Ribs are always a great choice for a first cook. They are Easy to smoke and not to long of a cook. And the best part, they are yummy :)

Hope the weather allows for you to get that cook in!

Thanks Jeremy.

I went with chicken because I wanted to try a wet brine. I've always been more of a dry brine guy. We also had ribs last weekend.

I used the basic elements of the Lazy-Q brine and made some modifications. I'll post my recipe after. Will try to take pics as well.

I am about (aboot?) an hours drive from that area. Love that show. Trailer Park Boys is pretty good too.
