Yeah I had a couple 3 sandwiches with BBQ sauce. I over indulged.

Yeah I was going to do a smoked turkey breast, but changed my mind.

I might smoke the turkey breast for Christmas.

is the smoking grill forum up & running? I created an account & I see a bunch of posts but nothing about grilling/cooking.

My daughter got me a bullet smoker for Christmas. I'm about ready to start my smokin journey. I already broke it in and will smoke something this weekend. Starting off with spare ribs and wings . . .something inexpensive till I get the hang of it. It has a bowl to fill with water in between the heat and the cook. Says to keep the temp at 225 F. Not going to use any fluid to start, just hardwood and a plumbers torch. Picked up a bag of Royal Oak Charcoal. I also have an assortment of wood chips . .cherry, mesquite, apple & one other wood to smoke with. I guess I'll soak the chips once the charcoals get gray. Wish me luck!

Don't soak your chips. You get a better flavored smoke with dried chips. Just add some dried wood chips/chunks from time to time along in your cook.

Got my first smoke over with. My wings dried way too much and the skin was near plastic. Spare ribs were a bit dry but tasty.
Q= What is the best time to put on the BBQ sauce? My mistake I believe was too long on the smoker . . . meat was past inner temp but I did pretty good on keeping the top end at 225 F.
This week I'm smoking a brisket for my birthday, daughters request (why am I cooking) . . . she lived in Texas a while and liked their style and taste of their brisket. I'll have to do some research on that unless one of you folks will volunteer to go from step 1 to the end on a perfectly smoked brisket. I have a CharBroil Bullet Smoker, if that helps.
Q= What are the best cuts of protein to smoke? . . .. . that turn out exceptional?

Had just done smoked a few baby backs - enough to share with a couple neighbors.
Did the 3-2-1 method which we have done several times before.
For this we just used the smoker - save the gas, charcoal and pellet grills for other things.
The 3-2-1 method while adding chips I usually use a mix of dry and some a little wet to make it linger longer. Used the electric Master Built smoker this time.

Last week we smoked salmon - it doesn't last long either once done.
