Well, I finally decided to bite the bullet and pick up a starter smoker, as my family really enjoy authentic southern pulled pork but I hate paying by the lb for it already cooked. It's a typical rectangle single door gas smoker with 4 racks.
I've smoked BBQ on a real pit that belongs to a relative, and made some of the best that I've ever had. All of my family and friends who tried it agree that it is world class. BBQ is a no-brainer for me. Hoping that I can replicate that on this contraption, being a gas unit. I chose gas because we like to do a lot of outdoor activities and this allows me to easily set the temp and walk away (or paddle if we're kayaking that day).
What I'm interested in at this point is getting into smoking ribs and sausages. Does anyone out there have a preferred recipe for ribs? What sausages do you normally use? I'll be purchasing store-brand and commercial made stuff for this, no interest in making my own sausage.
How about chicken thighs? My wife is a real fan of the "nasty" meat as I call it. Any suggestions on blowing her mind on chicken thighs?
I am about to dismember a troublesome peach tree in the very near future that would make for a good donor in the chip tray.
Thanks, everyone. I know there has to be a few other meat-aholics out there who do this when they're not in the shop.
