Smokin'

Lately I've been obsessed with getting a smoker. This is a really really silly obsession since a.) there's no place for a smoker at my current residence and b.) we can't afford one right now with all the saving we're trying to do. This however has not stopped me from obsessing.

I've wanted a smoker on and off intermittently for years now but this recent surge started from me trying to distract myself from other more confusing real life issues by reading a thread on eGullet about smoking ribs. From there I moved on to a very silly but hilarious thread entitled, Behold my butt! which of course is about smoking pork butts. Today I'm tackling the brisket thread. eGullet is an amazing resource for all sorts of culinary information. Once I get through with all of the cut specific threads there is still the eGullet Cullinary Institute course on 'Smoking meat at home' to dig through.
