I typed that then remembered Kirk so I had to insert.. that word. (careful again)
I was thinking of what I have smoked in the BS so far and here is my short list,
1. Bacon wrapped chicken breast[V]
2. Baby back ribs
3. Italian sausages.
4. Cheese (jack and Chedder)
5. Hill Billy bacon
6. ABT's
7. Antelope Jerky
8. Pulled Pork (going in tomorrow)
I can't remember any more. What does your list look like?
Lots of varied cuts of beef, pork, lamb.
Some cuts of deer, elk, moose, wild turkey, antelope.
Chicken, turkey, pheasant, duck.
Cheese, sausage, burgers, onions, taters, tomatoes, peppercorns, salt, jalapenos, mushrooms, cashews.
Shrimp, scallops, variety of fish.
I'm sure there a bunch I'm forgetting, maybe this would be easier if we listed the things we <b>haven't</b> smoked![:D][:D]
PG, I edited your thread title instead of moving this to the meat forum since you introduced non-meat items. Just going out on a limb here & don't really expect it to turn into a heroin/weed/crack thing.[:)]

Ya think next time I check into a hotel & they ask "Smoking or Non?" they would mind?
Most edible parts of pigs, cows, & birds. Some venison
bacon, jerkey,
Ears of corn, many cloves of garlic, onions, peppers, shrumes, nuts.
After a few beers - frozen pizza (came out pretty tasty, like done in a woodburning oven) & frozen breaded jalapeno poppers.
shrimp, fish, scallops, cheeses,

PS -- I just smoked my shirt this past week. I was playing golf and I was holding up the scorecard looking at the local rules. When I went to put it back in my top pocket, I brushed across the cigar hanging out of my mouth. I started to walk to the hole thinking, man, this cigar really just smells like paper. About 3 min. later my "breast" was getting warm. I open my jacket & had smoke coming out of my shirt pocket!! I now have a nice big burn hole in my shirt & a scorched score card. must have taken some hot ash of the cigar & into the pocket. I don't think I am going to live this one down soon. My buddies are having a field day with me now.
how about most unusual thing smoked... Six weeks ago I smoked malted barley for a homebrewed ale I was making. I soaked the barley (2 lbs) overnight in a whiskey and water mix and then drained and placed in some cheesecloth and smoked with oak for about 1.5 hours at 140 degs F. I just tried the first bottle a couple of nights ago. It was great. It had a roasted and subtle smoke flavor. I'm glad it turned out because I have 5 gallons of it [^][:D]

Some say BBQ is in your blood, if thats true my blood must be BBQ sauce.
I think the reason I never started smoking was because the only smokes my freind could steal when I was in jr. high were Pa-Mals, no filter. Man that was like french kissing a dragon.[}:)]
Oh that type of smoking.
Only thing that I might add to the lists not mentioned is:
Zucchini Squash: Complete YUK[xx(]
Hambergers: Very Good
Deviled Eggs: Most excelent.

With my 5 gallon batch, I filled 4 - 1 gallon German mini-kegs and 3 - 22 oz. bottles. As I sit here typing I am enjoying [:p] the 3rd and last bottle. Sorry man [V] If it's any consulation, I will remember you on my next brew session and fill some 12 oz'ers. I wonder about the legality [?] of mailing beer to another country and how that brew would fair in a heated cargo hold [xx(]. I think my next ale will be an IPA (India Pale Ale) with some apple smoked malted barley. By the way, I do an all grain mash, none of that extract stuff [^]

Being from Washington state (Beervana), you have a great selection of ales to choose from. I'm envious....I often travel to Bellingham to sample your fine ales. The Archer Ale House is a favorite spot as well as the Boundary Bay Brewpub. I started Homebrewing 10 years ago because I couldn't get quality ale up here in Canada. That's slowly starting to change.

Uh, the iguana was a sort of a spur of the moment thing . . . my friend knew I enjoyed smokin' and when one of his pet iguanas died of "natural causes" (it was pretty old and about 3 1/2 feet long) he prepped it for me and put it in his frig for a day until I could brine and smoke it. As for how good it was . . . let's just say it's not worth going out of your way to get one!

I have considered at different time giving a little homebrewing a try. However the only homebrew I have ever tasted was foul (the person who brewed it never even tried a second batch[xx(][xx(]. Is it really that straightforward to get good results and inexpensive to try out? I guess I always just figured it was one of those things best left to the pros.
When in doubt smoke it.
Msiler, homebrewing is a snap. It's not exactly inexpensive, but not really expensive. I know MWS does an all-grain process, but for the beginner & inexperienced (or the lazy like myself), you can make an excellent beer with malt extracts & grains. the biggest thing is CLEANLINESS. Everything must be sanitized. You can probably get a starter kit for about $100-150 for the equipment. the extracts are fairly priced. If you take your time & keep everything clean, it's simple & fun. You'll need a boiling kettle to make your wort (grains, extract,hops, etc), a hydrometer to read the specific gravity of the wort, a carboy to ferment in, & something to bottle or keg in. Right now, I use 5 gallon soda kegs. I got tired of washing, snaitizing, & capping bottles. The kits usually will combine a lot of these items.
Msiler
You can do what those Georgia boys did when I was a kid.
Cold homebrew
One large can malt
5 pounds sugar
1 packet yeast
1 large bottle aspirin
Add all (except the aspirin) to 5 gallons of water in plastic container. Cover with cloth to keep the bugs out. Allow to work off until the head (foam) turns over. 3-5 days.
Drink all you want.. Get up the next morning and take several aspirin and keep the bottle with you the rest of the day--you are going to need it! [:D]

PAsmoker is exactly right. The biggest thing is having everything sanitized. Past that, easy peasy. It will take some time and doesn't come out any cheaper than buying beer, but the end product can be fantastic! [:p]
I don't really drink enough to make cost of beer a real concern. I would rather have quality than quantity any day. I tjink I will have to give this a try after I return from the next desert rotation. now just how did you go about smoking the barley?? Thanks for the input.
When in doubt smoke it.
I haven't brewed any beer w/ smoked barley.....YET!
But I would imagine just lay some cheesecloth down on the rack and put the barley on that. That's how I do almonds.

This link is a good resource for smoking your own grains. I smoked malted barley by soaking in a whiskey water solution overnight, drained and placed in cheesecloth and smoked with oak @ 140F for about 1.5 hours
