Smoking Tips Types of wood to use for smoke: • Always use a hardwood that has been seasoned for at least 6 months. • We recommend using Pecan, Hickory , White Oak, Apple, Alder or Mesquite. • Never use any resin woods like Pine or Cedar. Note: It is not necessary to soak the wood prior to smoking because hard woods have natural moisture in the wood that will release in the smoker as it heats up.
Smoking Techniques Smoked Pork Tenderloin PORK FISH POULTRY BEEF Take outside wrapper off of meat and wash thoroughly in cold water. Place tenderloin on a paper towel to soak up excess water. Rub your favorite pork rub on the loin (we recommend Head Country Pork seasoning). Preheat smokers to 225 degrees and place loin in the center of the smoker. Cook until internal meat temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Smoking Techniques Smoked Halibut PORK FISH POULTRY BEEF Select a nice fresh ¾” thick filet. Wash filet thoroughly in cold water and lay on paper towel until water is not visible. Melt a whole stick of butter in the microwave and sprinkle a liberal amount of Dill weed in the melted butter. Lay filets on aluminum foil and fold a lip around edges to contain the butter. With a basting brush, brush melted butter and dill weed mixture on both sides of the fish filet.
