So the old man was on a road trip and he brought back a 14 lb brisket he wants me to smoke.  I have no idea how long to expect it to take, what temp to smoke at, and what kind of rub/binders y'all have found to be best!  Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I am a lover of hog.  I have been long before I got into smoking or even owned a grill!  I have finally gotten around to cooking one of my favorite pieces of hog and I can't wait to try it tonight!  Bought a 9.4 lb ham form the grocery store today.  This is one of the brands they carry and...

Smoked Boneless Chicken breasts last night.  They were pretty big and weighed in at almost 3lbs combined weight.  Used smoked sea salt and coarsely ground pepper and EVOO as a binder.  Smoked at 250 and it took almost 4 hours.  Had one last night and then a coworker and I each had one at lunch...

Smoked my first rack of ribs today!  Got a 3lb rack of Smithfield spare ribs from the local store that I covered in yellow mustard and Dave's Rib Rub last night and let them get happy in the fridge overnight.  Started smoking with 2.5oz of hickory and a loaf pan full of Nordeast beer at 1:45 and...

Calling my southern brethren and sisters!  I am a rural Scandinavian Minnesotan born and raised.  I have some southern habits due to the family I have from the south and my stepdad originally being born and raised in the south.  It throws people for a real loop when I say things like y'all with...

So this weekend I have decided to try pulled pork as blade roasts were on sale.  Going to keep it simple and use yellow mustard as a binder and season Famous Dave Rib Rub.  I am ordering a briner Jr soon so this one won't be getting brined since I don't have anything big enough to hold it...

Tonight I did a 2.35 lb Chuck Roast from the local grocery store.  I used EVOO as a binder and kept seasoning simple and used garlic powder and Lawry's season salt. I used around 2 oz of hickory.  Cooked at 195 to an internal temp of 135 which took about 4 hours.  I went under 200 for the cook...

I did chicken thighs for my first smoke in my 3D and they were fantastic! I rubbed em in EVOO and then seasoned with my favorite McCormick maple seasoning. I used a combination of cherry and hickory. Cooked at 250 until internal temp of 165 and it took just over an hour and a half. Can't wait to...

Got my 3D in today and I posted my first impressions here on my introduction thread. http://smokinitforums.com/index.php?topic=6482.0 I couldn't be happier with this purchase and I want to say thanks to everyone here who helped me make this decision even if they didn't know it!  Tonight I am...

New to the forum though I have been lurking for quite some time while i secured funds for purchasing a smoker.  This will be my first smoker.  A bit about me I am an IT contractor who mostly works in a clinic in the small town of Morris, MN and am currently an online college student to further...
