Smoking
Smoking meats and other food items takes a long time. It also takes a lot of charcoal and hardwood chips. When we plan a day, most often a holiday such as the 4th of July, to smoke outdoors, we will smoke other items to take advantage of the charcoal and hardwood chips that we are using. We usually freeze these foods for later use. Some foods we like to add to the smoker are:
Smoked Salmon & Other Fish
Smoked Duck
Smoked Turkey Breast (use for Smoked Turkey BLT sandwiches on hard roll, etc.)
Pork
