A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

I just downloaded "SMOKIN': RECIPES FOR SMOKING RIBS< SALMON, CHICKEN, MOZZARRELLA..." to my iPad.

Here's an excerpt regarding something that came up on the Forum recently:

"If you're wondering how to smoke larger items, such as a whole turkey, wonder no more: When smoking items don't fit under the lid, replace the lid with an aluminum foil tent. Larger items like these are finished in the oven, in which case the foil is simply removed and the smoker doubles as a roasting pan."

I'll post more tips as I move through the book...

The End.

.

Another tip (which I couldn't find in my user's manual. I probably just missed it, although I had read online about "tweaking" the lid):

A tiny amount of smoke sneaking from a corner of the smoker is normal. But any more than a thin stream means your smoker lid needs adjustment.

Try this method, suggested in the cooking guide that came with my smoker: Close the smoker lid halfway. Press down lightly on the half of the lid over the smoker with your left hand, then press down firmly on the other half of the lid with your right hand. Press just enough to bend the lid SLIGHTLY. Slide the lid back on; you should feel a little resistance and the lid should now be virtually free of leaks.

I used pliers today ... got the corner I thought I needed to - now need to do another one next time.
