    Put some smoke on some boneless thighs and just moved them over to the sear box. This is for dinner for me and my buddy, night shift tonight. Can't wait to try the Brooks smoked then grilled @JMB

    I have always loved smoking and grilling but now I have the all in one unit it'll make it a lot easier to feed the addiction.

    I'm thinking they will be good. I always do wings or thighs, this is my first go with boneless though. Smoking before should be yummy, at Brooks they cook over red oak in 80ft pits so there's always some smoke.

    Waste of beer of you ask me, you should drink it, you deserve a beer after stripping the membrane and slathering with dry rub

    I usually keep a water pan plus I spritz Apple juice every hour or so to make sure it doesn't dry in. Not sure much for short cooks, but if I'm doing a brisket,ribs, or pulled pork that's well over 3hrs, I'll spritz...

    This is a pretty good site for some tips and science. The guy is pretty opinionated about some things, but I've gotten some good ideas. The Simon and Garfunkel rub on poultry is phenomenal. https://amazingribs.com/

    I keep a log of every smoke. Date, weather, set temp, final internal temp, seasoning, results and thoughts on ways to improve, or don't change it ever. I don't remember ever messing up so bad that I had to throw something out, but I've definitely found ways to improve. Don't be afraid to experiment. And except for ribs, don't ever cook based on time. Internal temperature only.

    I can only get freshwater trout from a stocked pond during winter, but I tried to duplicate a local restaurant's smoked fish dip with it. This is close to what I do, I use Frank's hot sauce instead of jalapeno. Awesome, I also use it for small saltwater panfish, spot, croaker, pigfish, Taylor blues, etc.

    Don't let a kid out smart you.
    What I do is after dry rubbing it and letting sit in the fridge for day I put half of the slap in a gallon bag with one whole beer(I go for Modelo) with a few table spoons of BBQ sauce and some more of my spice rub. I take all the air out of the bag and let it sit in the fridge for about 12 hrs bone side up and then cook em up. besides flavoring i found it helps keep them a little more moist when cooking since I don't have a smoker

    Go it. Assume the spice rub has salt, so once you add to the bag with beer you are in essence wet brining the ribs. I can see that.

    I'm going to do a short smoke on some elk hamburger then grill them. Add some grilled bacon, sauteed mushrooms and swiss. Will update when I start them this evening. I have 3 of these.

    Update

    Smoked bacon and elk burger rocks! I accidentally left them smoking a little longer than planned. Pretty damn good mistake!! I will do this again.

    Some rancheros on the side.

    ETA
    225° 1.5 hours for the burger and 1 hour for the bacon.
