Got the smoker last weekend for s truckload of wood. It was brand new

Its been years since I've smoked with a sidebox smoker. This thing held temp all night with just a one addition of wood.


Now to find a hickory tree....

Or apple, or cherry, or oak. They're all very good.

Nice score

Or charcoal with wood chunks added.

Mine's electric, so I'm not sure, but I think thats how they were designed, wood chips over charcoal. Large flames from firewood sized pieces would be way too hot

I used charcoal to get things rolling and then added hickory logs from then on that a buddy gave me to try.

I picked up a fair amount of hickory, apple and cherry from him yesterday.


When we to to Texas next month I'm taking a saw with me and am going to fill the truck bed with misquite. If I get ambitious I may build a box on a pallet and fill it with misquite and look for a fastenal to ship it up here.

Use a little bit of hickory and the rest oak is what I do. Works for cooking steaks over too with just a little added flavor.

Read up on smoking with mesquite before you go overboard on it. I don't think they recommend it for pork.

I use apple and cherry for pork. Hickory, apple, and cherry for fish. Beef? Nfi. Never done it

Alder is great for fish (especially salmon). Mesquite for beef.
Steaks cooked over an open tamarack fire (western larch) have an amazing flavor, and totally unique.

I cooked steak-on-a-stick about 20 years ago over a pine 2x4 fire. Best steak I had all day

We pulled the brisket off the smoker at 3 and its sitting in a cooler till Lisa and my buddy are finished making a beer run.

So far today between breakfast and supper we cooked up 4 pounds of bacon.....


I got the bright idea to smoke some cheese. We had a pound of pepper jack so I cut it up, threw it in a pan and threw it on the smoker. Holy crao that is some of the best cheese I've ever had.

I'm cooking up a batch of bbq sauce right now that's tasting amazing....

Asparagus is on the smoker now.....



I'm beginning to wonder if there is anything that's not better smoked.....

What's the secret to logging onto SH? My phone status bar creeps up about 1/4" and quits. 10 seconds later it says no internet.
