What to put in the smoker this weekend?

If you're looking for a mild wood that works with pretty much everything....Alder.

I smoked/grilled some pork chops over some scrub oak for dinner tonight. They came out a heck of a lot more tasty than over the propane grill and only took about 15 minutes longer than propane.

Propane doesn't bring a lot flavor to the party.

It can with good food prep. You can also use foil with holes and some soaked wood of choice on the grate. However. it's still not a smoked and slow cooked pork roast, turkey or chicken with liquid of choice.

Of course the purist will say it's not a smoker unless it's all wood. Good for them. I like the set & forget of pellet smokers.

Then there's the novice with an electric kettle, that's seen better days then the meat put inside it























either way bone appetite

So seasonings and wood bring flavor. I missed the part where propane itself makes the food taste any better.

The water pan is rusting now.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Eh, I'm not, it's just holding the water right?

Line it with foil. Easiest way to clan up after your roast has been dripping fat off in to it for 5-6 hours. When i had one of those bullets, i drilled holes in the pan that held wood & coal, better more even burn. Learned all sorts of stuff on the brinkman / bullet smoker forums. Dun git ejamacated i did.

I don't have a pan for wood, I'm supposed to be just wrapping the chunks in aluminum foil, from what I understand.
