I have an electric smoker it's a "cookout" brand,  I used to use my grill it worked good too. I mix osage w/ wht oak chips and get really good results, great flavor.

Hey,

About six years ago we went to a flute gathering...my wife and I were eating bowls of cerial for supper and a good friend had brought his smoker to the gathering...walked up to us with some ribs and said...have some ribs...just salt and pepper on them...they were to die for...soon as I got home bought my hundred buck propane smoker and we haven't eaten bought deli meat to put on a sandwich since...all smoked chicken, pork loin, ribs, beef.  Cook big batches and freeze what we don't eat and pull out enough for each days lunch sandwich...ain't nothing like a smoker.

My next batch for the smoker will be cheese and mixed nuts. 

Since it is pretty cold out, I can set the smoker to 70 degrees and it will smoke away.  The temp difference between 20 degrees outside and 70 degrees in the smoker insures the heating element will kick on regularly without having to set the temp so high it melts the cheese. 

I'll smoke everything but pancakes!

I think I have died and gone to heaven. I smoked a whole chicken on the new Traeger smoker tonight. It was so dang good. I think I will smoke some pork tomorrow.

So what is your favorite thing to smoke, and how about sharing the recipe.

Justin,

I like to butterfly a big pork loin.  Fill it up with cream cheese and jalepenos then wrap it up with bacon to hold it all in (use toothpicks- it really helps.  I smoke it with apple or pear wood and it is one of the best loins you will ever eat.

I noticed someone said that osage will leave a bitter flavor due to resins. Not trying to be contentious but I have to politley disagree. It leaves a very good smoke flavor and we cook and smoke with it regularly. Jimmy and I have a buddy Mike that is a smokin fool and he uses osage alot. When ever Mike is around smokin somethin, we eat like kings. 
 As far as whats my favorite smoked meat, I would have to say that pork of any kind is tops for me.   Danny

Fixin to smoke a pork loin this weekend for some friends.  Can't wait to dig in.  I trimmed up my wild plum a couple of months ago and have been using it mixed with charcoal.  Gives the meat a nice, mellow smoky flavor that isn't overpowering.
