Smoker Recipes

Post your smoker recipes here. Also, what things have you smoked?
I bought one last week, have yet to use it. Inspire me!

Also, what things have you smoked?

That's a dangerous question! :blink:

I've seen someone try to smoke grass before (yes, lawn!).


I really have nothing serious to add to this post apart from the obvious suggestion of jerky, sausages and the like.

I'm hoping to get a smoker later in the year. Did you buy a Weber Smoky Mountain?

I've been playing around smoking (pork) ribs on our gas bbq with a smoker box. Works ok, but still not as tender (or flavourful) as done properly.

I marinate the ribs for 24hrs in apple juice, then give them a spice rub. Then I cook using indirect heat (and smoke) for 3 hrs at the lowest temp I can (which is about 140c). Every half hour or so I spray them with a mix of apple juice and maple syrup.

Here is a link to a fish smoking thread in the Western Angler forum. Its worth a read if they let you in.

I'm saving up for one of the Smokey Mountain Webber smokers, they look pretty good and have a pretty good forum and internet following.

When I say saving up let me qualify this statement - I have a two dollar jar, every time I have two dollar coins in my pocket when I come home they go into my jar. Sometime it may be just one coin sometime it's five of them. I started doing this two years ago. IN the first year I saved $820 and bought a new six burner BBQ. In the second year I saved $1036 and bought the kids an xbox, games and controllers and took out to lunch etc This year I am well on the way to saving more and plan to buy a new amplifier to replace the 20 year old one that keeps cutting in and out and a Webber Smokey Mountain cooker.

For the last 3 years Ive been cooking a smoked briskett that I am planning on bringing out commercially so I wont divulge the recipe but it marinates for three days and then slow cooks and smokes for ten hours.

I used a Brinkmann smoker for nearly 20 years until it rusted out. The Weber version looks very similar. I used it at capacity for Christmas. It would hold a turkey, Christmas ham and a leg of lamb and the results were amazing. The meat did take around eight hours to cook so you were up at 5.30AM stoking the thing up but the rewards were great, The most tender of turkeys you would ever taste. I also smoked many kilos of fish over the years, as it would take three dozen herring (Tommy Ruff) at a time. I think that was the main cause of the rust. That and not cleaning the ash bed out properly. And I wont even talk about the sausages-----------

Check out www.smokingmeatforums.com

There is lots of info on there. I built an electric smoker, basically exactly like the Weber Smoky Mountain out of an old 18 gallon beer keg. I fitted a thermostat to hold the temp at the desired temp, around 100-105C. Works great. I think there are pictures of my smoker on here somewhere.

I've smoked ribs, brisket, chicken, sausages, fish. Most recipes have just been pulled off the net or that website. I love smoked stuff.

Cheers, Justin

Justin, If you could find that picture and any more construction details, I would be keen to pinch them as I need a new smoker and I have a few old keg shaped objects at my disposal.
