I want to learn how to use a smoker. My friend believes I might have challenges. I think it's because I'm blind. His comment is below. Not posting this to bash but maybe a learning experience can begin. I suppose there might be books right? Until I locate one, any helpful tips for a beginner will be appreciated. I plan on getting a masterbuilt in August, unless someone has other ideas. Have you ever tried smoked salmon? I cant see you smoking meat because it is very time consuming. Also i think it is a little dangerous because of the whole visual aspect. Along with the ingredients plus special woods special sauces lots of start up cost there. Now if you had a farm with cows or hunted then yes a smoker comes in handy as it preserves large quantities of meat.

I absolutely love it! I’ve smoked chicken, ribs, pork chops, turkey, and even brisket. Just to clarify, a smoker of this type is something to be used outside, not in the kitchen. > On Jul 1, 2016, at 7:26 PM, Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark > <[email protected]> wrote: > > That's nice.
