smoke generator on my smoker...?
Hi Smoker Folks:
Ponderin me a thought. Any of you used an add-on type smoke generator for your smoker, as opposed to putting chips in the pan and doing it the original way? If I understand it correctly, when smoking I don't want continous smoke for the full duration, just an hour or two until the smoke ring is established...? If you do use a generator, can you point me in the right direction of what you use? Thanks! Ronnie |

I usually smoke put wood chunks in initially and then don't worry about it. YMMV -- Steve |

Thanks! > The original way is to..... burn wood. Using chips is an afterthought as less smoke producing heat sources became more common. Many faux cue places just use gas or electricity and skip the chips too. An offset smoker is a lot like what you are talking about. While it is said that there is no increase in smokiness after an hour or two, there is also no reason to stop using smoke. It does no harm. My own feeling is that there is a difference, and the 'cue is better for having stayed in smoke for the whole cooking period. I have cut off pieces of various things I've barbecued as they cooked, and they kept getting better and better as they got smokier... well past the 2 or 3 hour point. However, you get as many opinions around here as there are speakers. If you want another example of this, look up the effect of bark on taste. Mike |

Thanks! For hot smoking don't use a smoke generator. Keep working on your cooking technique for that. If chips aren't working for you, try using chunks instead. Wrap them in foil and put them close to the heat source. As far as how long to put smoke on the food, it varies with the type of food, and more importantly, your personal taste. The type of smoke is important, though. You want it to be light and wispy, not heavy and billowing. Heavy smoke contains soot and other crud. Generators are for cold smoking. In case you're still interested, here's one of the best available. It does amazing things in the cold smoking realm. <http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/sm-bradley-smoker-smoke-generator-c-w-adapter--pi-2113015.html> -- Reg |

I had to put a red patio brick on the grate to keep the lid open somewhat and I only could use one burner set to around low if I remember right. If you're doing ribs, butts, etc clean out the bottom of the unit often. Failure to do so can result in a pretty spectacular grease fire. Don't ask me how I know that. ;-) I just used the pan method until I decided that I should probably have a piece of equipment that was made for the job and bought the WSM. -- Steve |

But you couldn't hook the WSM up to an old working fridge like you can the Bradley generator and produce perfect cold-smoked salmon and scallops. I think the best thing about smoked scallops is mopping up the butter you fry them in with a nice piece of crusty bread.BTW, I love my WSM. I just cooked two six pound pork butts and a lamb shoulder last night, but I got to give the Bradley its due here. I'm thinking about cold smoking duck breast before before stuffing and baking them and then crisping their skin in the salamander for serving. > -- > Steve |

Very true, but the OP was talking about hooking up to a Gen. Silver B, not for using as a cold smoker. For a cold smoker, I'd suggest the Lil Chief as an inexpensive unit unless you're going to do large amounts. http://www.jtbuckonline.com/index.as...ROD&ProdID=182 I use it all the time. For the money it does a nice job of cold smoking. -- Steve |

Just thinking an add on would give me more smoke for better results on some items. I already have a large smoker (did 160 pounds of jerky since Friday) Just thinking about something smaller for the occasional salmon or trout when I don't need all the room -- Steve W. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Didn't really get much of the garlic flavor after tasting some Music and Spanish Raijo garlic raw though. ;-D -- Steve |

I've been experimenting with local honey in the classic Carolina sauce I do with pulled pork. Perhaps it was honey that made the difference. I just had a smoked lamb shoulder sandwich with a dijon, red wine and very herby sauce. I used turbinado sugar, ground bay leaf, caraway seed, fresh basil, whole chilies, garlic and a little oregano. The lamb had 3/4 inch smoke ring made with hickory and cherry. I only ate an hour ago and I'm still drooling whilst writing this description. > > The garlic ice cream was very tasty too.

I pride myself on being able to "finger" ingredients at restaurants but this one I just couldn't get much of a clue. Definately had garlic, onion, and mustard. There was just a hint of "sweet". Could have been a touch of honey I suppose. We're not partial to lamb but I may play with your ingredients, ifn you don't mind. ;-D What kind of chilies did you use? With that mixture, I'm thinking poblanos? Ground bay leaf is a new one on me, never heard of it being used that way before, but I'll try most anything once. :-D -- Steve |

It was one of those things that just wasn't "place-able". I've been trying and trying to identify what it was, but have gone to "give up". ;-( -- Steve |
