Getting started smoking meat

in ,

I decided to share a little video on the smokers I use to smoke meat along with a few tips and rules. Here’s a synopsis:

  1. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on a smoker. You can start with a cheap charcoal grill.

  2. Dave’s essential rules of BBQ or smokin’ meat. 1. Don’t kill anyone 2. Cook it ‘til it’s done

  3. The big decision on getting a smoker and starting is whether you’re comfortable using charcoal and managing your fire or whether you want to make it easy on yourself and get a smoker with an electric heating element for which you can set specific cooking temps. I used one of these for a number of years. I had the Masterbuilt brand. This allowed me to not worry about the fire and just decide how I want to season the meat and what wood I wanted to use.
