With modern technology, outdoor cooking is slowly becoming a lost art. Many make do with packaged foods that took little effort to prepare. They have no experience with cooking over a fire, or even with cooking on a grill. Our pioneer ancestors depended on their ability to cook over coals, whether at home, or while traveling. While we don’t have to be as primitive as our ancestors did, cooking in the outdoors is a great hobby, a good skill to have, and lots of fun.
I use an ECB Brinkmann “bullet” smoker with a few mods. What do you recommended in the liquid bowl for smoking the butt? I don’t want just water. I need some flavor. Anything would help.Thank you.
