Hello from Caneri

[caneri]

Hi All,

I have just started with my smoker and so far smoked legs of lamb X2(two legs) and lamb chops X9 (nine chops 2' thick...yum) with 2 strips of back ribs and my classic bbq sauce and 4 pounds of sausage from my local farmer.
Second smoke was a 12 pound turkey cut into quarters. Breast were dry so I'll do better on the second shot.
I wish I would have started this smoking much sooner....hey who knew.

I'm getting good ideas from the recipes and banter on this forum..thanks...good reads.

I'm from the southern most area of Canada and sending greets to All...and no I'm not just blowing smoke ;-)

Welcome Eric,

I did my first turkey this year (different smoker) and I brined it for 24 hours. It was the best tasting and moist turkey I've ever had. You may try a brine next time.

And yes we do like PICS.

Thanks for the welcome posts All!!
Doesn't it always hold true that you find the spelling mistake AFTER you hit post.(even with spell check)
@TestRocket,
Yup did the brine for 23hrs but my butchering was not so clean. The breast meat was not cut out properly so the skin slid off...grrrr..next time will be better or better yet I may do the drumsticks only as they were yum city.

So many things to smoke,  so little time...grrr

Best to All.

PS...I have been told that smoking a salmon/steelhead will leave a bad smell/taste for the next smoke session....true or false?
Any tips on that one?
PSS TY for the link http://www.susanminor.org/

Oops...locked out now as it says no joy..Eric

[TestRocket]

I don't know what would get you locked out, maybe someone will come along soon with and idea for you.

You may have done this to...but just a thought. Use a good thermometer and cook that breast to the proper temp or maybe practice your knife skills on a large chicken.   Haha!  :D  ;D

Not that I have noticed. I suppose if you do a large number of large loads over a long time maybe, and perhaps if the smoker had a more porus (wood) interior, but not with the Bradley.

I have just now acquired a Taylor remote/wireless thermometer so next time I can judge what's what...also an instant probe,  but not in use yet,  so not able to speak on that.
@FLBentRider,
I'm listening to some local fishermen but they don't like trout/salmon..go figure that one..I can't.
I just want to know if I do a salmon it won't mess up the brisket I'm planning (or the lamb,chicken..good grief it can go forever).

I'll try to login again tonight then maybe a re-register (Is this forum using the same login as http://www.susanminor.org/)  ?
Best,
Eric

I think I should better learn where to start posting in a relevant topic area.
So much to read.

TY All.

[FLBentRider]

The two web sites do not share the same user database.

The fish question has been asked here before, and to my knowledge no one has posted "I smoked fish and then a pork butt, and my bbq tastes funny"

When you register for the recipe site, it will not accept "free" (gmail, hotmail, yahoo,msn) email addresses. Use the one your ISP gave you when you signed up for internet.
