So I am making a pork shoulder this weekand using a mexican wet rub. But in doing this, I will need to wrap the pork shoulder in bananna leafs. This will not only smoke the shoulder but will cause a steam like action as well. But where can I get bananna leafs?

I asked our resident firehouse chef, and he stated that you can find them in an authentic mexican marketplace. He also stated that you can try the asian grocery store like Nemisis stated above but they will most likely have a broad leaf substitute instead. Hope that helps.

What do you use for your smoker? I started off a few years ago with an old Charbroil propane grill that I modded.. I fabricated a steel plate that covered the bottom of the grill. Put the wood chips on it and turned the burner all the way down. This actually worked great.

 

I needed more room and wanted to get away from using propan e. So I bought a brinkman smoker last year that usues charcoal and then I switch to wood. I'm not too happy with it because I have to really baby sit it the whole time. I can't regulate the temp easily. One minute I'm at 150 then it will rocket up to 270... Is there any suggestions you have? Or should I get a smoker with a heat regulator? I just wanna be able to keep it at 180 and be able to check it hourly and not babysit it.

I use a 6ft cylinder with a 2 ft wood burning box on the side. 270 is almost bad news brotha. Your ranges are 200-250 I keep mine around 200-225. Anything under 175 can not cook all bactiera off.

 

I started with 2 types of stand up eletric ones. 1st one cooked like a oven sucked second 1 was alright but biscuit area did not last long. So no I only use wood burning

Man you guys need to invest in a Big Green Egg. I bought a Large BGE in January. My first time smoking or cooking with charcoal. Once I get the internal temp set I can walk away and forget about it. I've smoked pork loins, boston butts, beer can chickens, chicken quarters, wings, and chili. And I've cooked rib eyes with a mushroom cognac sauce, asparagus, pizza, cobbler, and chocolate chip cookies on it. Everything, with the exception of one batch of wings, has turned out perfect.

 

Can we get a Staffer to add a smoking board? I've got tons of recipes and things I've learned over the past few months but am always looking to read and learn more. I'll start taking before and after pics of my meat and posting them up too.

I second that idea. Or at least a food section to put all cooking tips. I love to barbecue and I really love a good chunk of meat, but as I said I suck so I'd love to see this section!!
