The instructions are easy to follow, it smokes up faster than a whole ham and your guests will rave about it.
Not to mention, doing things this way means Read more [...] How to Master Smoked Pork Ribs

Hello and welcome to this edition of the the smoking meat newsletter!
I was asked to do some smoked pork tenderloins for some close friends' wedding reception a while back and they brought 14 already marinated and seasoned tenderloins.

Last week I sent out a newsletter with complete instructions for smoking a turkey breast on Thanksgiving but no Thanksgiving is really complete without a smoked ham on the table.
What a lot of folks don't realize is that the hams you buy in the store that are already smoked and ready to heat and eat are good but they can be better with a little help from your own smoker.
I am not sure what the factory Read more [...] Wet, Sauced Up, Sticky Smoked Ribs

Welcome to the Smoking Meat newsletter where we are always smoking up something and showing you exactly how we did it.

I wish I had a dollar for every smoked rib recipe.. there are many, many recipes but not all of them are worth their proverbial salt.. fortunately, I have learned of one recently that I really like and you will too.
It is called the 3-2-1 method and I must warn you that this smoked rib recipe bends the rules of most purist smokers.. it uses (gasp!) aluminum foil
during a portion of the process.

October 6, 2012 By 11 Comments
Something wonderfully bad happened a few weeks ago concerning some bbq pulled pork I was smoking and I just have to share it!
