Just ordered a new pellet smoker, and chomping at the bit to start smoking some meat. Any good recipes/tips out there to break this thing in? I got the Rec Tek and if it is as good as the reviews, I plan on packing on a few extra pounds before winter…lol

Try smoking hamburgers sometime…they are awesome! Also if you smoke a pork shoulder I always finish mine in a crock pot…smoke for about 4 hrs or so at 225 then finish in the crock pot. Along with the shoulder Ill smoke a ham…about 3-4 hours with it. Try it on the same bun as the shoulder and add some homemade cole slaw to it (if you like a little more kick to the slaw add a jalepeno to it). It is fantastic! Season the shoulder in the crock pot if you prefer with Rendevouz seasoning or Bone Suckin Rub. BBQ sauce is Sweet Baby Ray original or Dreamland BBQ sauce (you have to order this from them in Alabama). Smoked turkey breast and chicken is awesome with no seasoning except a little salt and pepper but first drizzle a little virgin olive oil to the breast. Chicken takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours if I remember right. About a 1/2 hour to an hour per pound on the turkey…again if Im remembering right. You may want to verifiy this as its been a while since Ive done any bird on the smoker.My favorites for the wood are pecan, apple, cherry and hickory.Have fun and experiment and share your experiences!

Here are a couple of links to get you started. The how to BBQ right site has several videos that will help you out. I have competed in several BBQ compsetitions and catered several events. The below links are where I started. As to recipies find the flavor combinations that you like, if you concock your own rubs or if you buy comercial. A couple of the rubs that i like, used and have done well in competiotions are: The BBQ Rub (How to BBQ Right), Plowboys Yardbird, Plowboys Bovine, Smoking Guns “Sweet Heat” just to name a few. You can do a search if you want to purchace these rubs. Also search the web for BBQ Competitions and you will find a lot of good information there to help you get started. If you have any questions PM me and I will help you out.http://www.crankybuzzard.com/CrankyBuzz … ook001.pdfhttp://howtobbqright.com/

DanltI have the rec tec smoker and have had great luck with it. AP Drivers link to amazing ribs is right on the money .It is a great resource for smoking of any kind. Do yourself a favor …get a good pork butt, use meatheads “memphis dust” rub,set that bad boy to 225 degrees and come back in 12 hours. The maverick 733 dual probe remote temp is worth the 60 buck investment as is the themapen instant read thermometerBob
