July 3, 2013 197 Comments
nwafoodie 4th of July

All this talk about my new smoking addiction is fueling a monster.

I am getting cocky and over-confident.

Smack-talk is happening.

Uh, yeah.

      You would totally make his day… and yours! When Dennis and I decided to initiate the smoker for the first time… we literally were trying to figure out which dish would be the inaugural dish. There's a lot of pressure for the first time!

      It was a tie: chicken and brisket!

      Best of luck to you!

      Now you see why I am shakin'! Debbie has both a a CookShackInc and a BigGreenEgg smoker at her lake home and her home in Benton. That's four, count 'em four, smoker household with two adults!

      Seriously though, all those photos above are what Dennis and I smoked the first week with the Masterbuilt smoker and it was so easy and clean-up is a breeze!

      Your hubby will trip out if you win this! 🙂

    Oh wow, where to start? I would love to smoke a lot of things, including fish (preferably freshly caught), a good piece of pork and perhaps some veggies. I've never had a smoker before, so I'd be very excited to experiment!

    Reply
    • nwafoodie says

      July 4, 2013 at 1:07 pm

      Sammi, you are talking my language! We smoked a walleye the other day with dill and the Masterbuilt Smoker's little tray where you put the wood chips in makes it so it doesn't overpower the fish. I used hickory but have since learned that a lighter wood would be better. My go-to foodie expert, Blake, told me that alder wood is great for fish. Remember that if you win! 🙂

      Oh, and smoked sweet potatoes… I should've used that as my smokeoff recipe! wow!

    We catch a lot of trout & you know what's really good? Smoked lake trout!

    We usually have my retired FIL do it, because we have a PROPANE smoker, which is freaking terrible. I'm sure it's a 60-year-old fire hazard & needs to be constantly watched.

    It'd be a gift to all of us, if we won this AND probably keep us from burning down the whole town. 😉

    Can you smoke pineapple? Let's try!

    I have this smokers little brother, no window, no fancy rf thermometer. It smokes some kick ass ribs, and you gotta finagle it in but I have fit 2 full briskets in mine. Now being an Arkie in Texas, I prefer pork (yes I said that out loud) I use all my rubs from Arkansas. Thank god for Eggshells in the heights. I dont need this, but I'd love to have more square footage to smoke and the window looks nice so you don't have to open to see your bark! Next thing I want to smoke are half chickens, and some good german sausages.

      Eggshells in the Heights? I must google this!

      You wouldn't have to open anything… the Masterbuilt smoker has a little side door where you load in the wood chips, push it in, and then twist to dump. It's that easy.

      Oh, and this one has a light that you can turn on!

      It's so perfect and I am glad your old one has brought you so much joy!

      Hurry back to Arkansas!

    My awesome Mother-in-law gave me a smoker 25years ago. I use for larger events. It is not hard to use but takes planning and babysitting. Thanksgiving, I get 2 20-25 lb turkeys and have the whole family over. We have 35-40 in the local area.
    Christmas I do ham and turkey. For gifts I smoke nuts, cheese, jerky, fish. I don't smoke those together:) My current smoker you can't control the temperature so I have to cook over a long time and check and recheck internal temps of the meat. I'm always worried it will not be done by the time 30 people want to eat. If it happens to be really cold outside I have to wrap towels around it for insulation.
    Hope I can upgrade to the new smoker!

      It's time to quit babysitting and get a smoker. If you don't happen to win this… I hope you put a smoker like the Masterbuilt smoker on you to-purchase list. We still have a lot of summer left and whole lot of 2013 to enjoy!

    My hubby would love this smoker – we smoke the turkey for the whole family every Thanksgiving and have for the past 17 years. I think the first thing we would smoke though would be ribs! MmmmmMmmmm good!

      I think that would make a great pre-Thanksgiving post: a comparison of buying a smoked turkey versus doing it yourself. Perhaps then it would make the Masterbuilt smoker more affordable? Unless you won it, of course.

      And, instead of the water pan, leave it open so all the cheddar goeyness can drip into it and than you would have cheddar-smoke infused ribs.

    I wouldn't smoke anything (I'm a non-smoker myself). But it wouldn't take much to get my four-grill owning husband to smoke something for me. I would have him start with brisket because it's a treat. After that, I'm sure he would have a long list of his own to try out.

      Smoking chicken in the Masterbuilt smoker has such a smooth subtle taste. It is completely not powering.

If I had this awesome Masterbuilt electric smoker, it would be my turn to strut. I would really like to try my hand at a nice pork tenderloin. It makes my mouth water just to think about it and makes the little devil in me snicker to know that I would probably beat my guy friend.
