It was good, and we ate it all up, but I think it was definitely better to bring it up to 160-165 as a sliced ham, than it was to pull it. Good learning experience.

Hahaha... I think I'm just crazy enough to do it. I'm going for it! I'm confident enough that it won't be ruined... I guess we'll find out!

I'll letcha know how it turns out! ;)

I'm going to be smoking a ham tomorrow to have for Easter this Sunday. I've smoked ham before in my SmokinTex and usually have cooked to an internal temp of 160F but I'm thinking about taking a...

I have about 60# of pork loin for a Christmas Party rubbed and ready to go.

Not sure if my 1400 will have enough space between racks to fit all of them in for a single cook, or if I'll need to...

Can you give more details? Temperature and length of cook? How much wood? What temp do you cook at in your oven normally?

Couple racks of spares getting ready to go as we speak.

Susie, sorry for the late response, but thus may help in the future. I wet brine my poultry, using 1c kosher salt and 1c Brown sugar per gallon of water. In a 5 gallon bucket, a turkey usually needs...

Ok, Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday of the year. I love spending good time with family and friends. I guess the food is a pretty decent bonus too!

I'm not a big fan of roasted...

Ok, so don't be too hard on me. I know this is going to sound like traitorous blasphemy to some of you, but we have a newborn in the house, and our schedule consists of trying to cram a whole days...

I'd be interested to see what people have to say. I have smoked meats that I have used as toppings for pizza. Smoked turkey in my recreation of Detroit Michigan's Supino Pizzeria "City Wing Thing"...

I let them rest for anywhere from 20 minutes, to a couple of hours. 130 is still gonna get you the same level of doneness whether you rest it for a short period, or leave it in the fridge over night....

You know, I haven't been as lazy, when it comes to smoking, as I had initially thought. Even though I haven't been able to do any Brisket, Pork Butts, Ribs, Chicken, or Prime Ribs. We've still been...

I have lot's of things I'd like to smoke, but unfortunately the "Honey-Do" List is growing ever longer as we get ready for a new baby in a couple of weeks... Maybe after that I can get a slab of ribs...

garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Pretty traditional. I'm liking the idea of a guajillo compound butter though! maybe some poblano or something. sky's the limit!

I've been wanting to give this a try for quite some time and I'm so glad I finally did!
I started with a couple of choice ribeyes, seasoned liberally with kosher salt, black pepper, and granulated...

I usually set my dial to 225 and that's right where I smoke just about anything. I did it at 200 based on the method that Scott Wallace recommends doing an hour a pound plus 2 hours. I think the...

First off, the flavor is great. It's just not quite getting as tender as it should be. I did a full choice, packer brisket that weighed about 15 lbs before I trimmed it, 13 lbs after. I smoked it...

Looks so good! Whatcha got in that tin can down there?

The skin turns out fine. I find it helps to either rub the chicken in EVOO or spray some cooking spray on it just before smoking. Even still, the skin might not be as crispy as some people like. ...

1c kosher salt
1c dark brown sugar
1 gal water
Granulated garlic
Smoked paprika
Chile flakes
Fresh parsley
And just about anything else in arms reach.

Did some smoked chicken quarters for Mother's Day. We love the way these turn out. We trim em up, brine them over night and hit them on the smokintex @ 225 for about 5 hours with 2 oz of apple and...

I went with your advice on the internal temp. I was glad that I did. 160 was perfect, and allowed more of the fat around the shank to render off. Looks like every ham from here on out will be twice...

We're planning on having ham for Easter over at my in-laws. Since so many good things have been rolling out of the SmokinTex lately, my mother-in-law has requested that we smoke a Ham for lunch.
...

She is a great helper. She's even figured out how to open the smoker a time or two and help me clean it out if I ever forget to wipe up those tasty drippings!

Dang it! Can't count on the post office for anything these days! Haha
