BBQ smokers

Nope. ROFL I was going to peel the husks back, season them, then wrap them in foil and unwrap them for the end, but forgot the foil part. I'll have to do that next time! I did peel away the outer most outer husks.

I do soak fresh pineapple in salt water before grilling and even before eating it plain as it cuts the acidity. Some people don't like it, but most can't taste any salt after it is grilled. The salt water thing is something I learned when cooking for an Asian restaurant.

Live and learn... or cook and learn.

I'll have to remember the salt water thing. Thanks!

I'm convinced on trying the offset firebox. Anyone have a suggestion of what brand?

On the off set fire box models, do you place a water pan in the larger area for moistness, or is it needed?

No water pan is required.

I checked out a BBQ web site that said the off set smokers are not good. At least the cheap ones. He said the expensive ones with reverse flow are great but the off set where the flow is straight from the fire box to the main cooking area is not a good way to smoke food. I think I'm leaning back towards n electric bullet smoker. The one I had before worked great.

I hear many don't like electric because the heat comes from a element and not wood. Well when I use wood I use big blocks that really burn and smoke for hours, so I think I'll be OK.

I watched BBQ Pitmasters on TV last night and Myron said the Pellett smokers are horrible and that they don't give the meat any smoke flavour??

Thanks for all the replies... Happy BBQing for the 4th.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
