Smoke your Own Meat with a BBQ Smoker

There are many people that like smoked meat but do not like the meats that they can buy commercially. They may want to buy a bbq smoker to have at home and make their own brine and smoke their own meat. Smoking your own meat can be a hobby much like making wine or baking your won bread. There are many small bbq smokers made for people to use at home. Some are made to be used outside in a smoke shed. Some bbq smokers are designed to fit in an indoor fireplace and vent up the chimney. It is handy to have your bbq smoker closer at hand so you can tend to the meat as required. Tender meat like fish will need less time in the smoker than large cuts of beef.

You may want to use your bbq smoker to just lightly smoke your meat to add flavor to it. Or you may want to totally smoke and dehydrate meat and turn it into jerky. You can use bbq smokers for both results if you know how to gage the time of smoke and heat that the meat is exposed to. There are many marinade recipes that can help you as you learn the skills you will need for tasty results.

BBQ smokers that vent up your chimney may be better for people living in an urban area. It will cause the smoke to rise up above the houses. A bbq smoker venting close to the ground may cause a smudge in your neighborhood that others do not enjoy. The smoking process may take many hours and the smoke can linger all around you and your yard.
