I've used a couple of different smokers with varying results. In my opinion the Luhr-jensen little chief and big chief are the most economical and provide consistent results. The little Chief is about $60 and the Big Chief is about $80 - 100.
I use a brine and soak it overnight or longer, up to 24 hours. 2 quarts water (bring 1 pint to a boil dissolve ingredients add rest of water to cool off brine) 1/3 cup non-iodized salt (kosher salt?) (Originally I used 1/2 cup of Salt but it was too salty for me. Many of my friends use 1/2 cup or more) 1 cup or more of sugar >From this point you can get creative try one or more of the following: substitute 1/2 cup brown sugar for 1/2 cup of the sugar (I've used all brown sugar, up to 2 cups of sugars etc...) add soy sauce / teriyaki sauce add small amount of red pepper Add ginger (Maryanne is optional, make sure Gilligan is nowhere to be found) -----Original Message----- From: Erika L.
