Recipes for smoking meats

[threedogs]

Hi I have a Finlandia smoker and think its time to start experimenting with smoking some produce,
be it fish ,game, poultry or meat of some description.
If anyone has any ideas on best Chips to use for flavour , like tea bags etc I would like to know.

Is it a cold smoker or hot or both??

Here's a good site I came across when looking for recipes and stuff.....http://www.meatsandsausages.com/

Here's a chicken brine for smoking...You don't have to use cure but when you do it will still look pink inside and have a ham like texture
CHICKEN BRINE
for 8 small breasts
water 500ml
salt - heaped tablespoon
cure#1 - 1/2 tablespoon
sugar - molasis 1 tablespoon or brown sugar
pinch of - hungarian paprika, coriender powder and oregano
2-2.5 light smoke on 70degC

I used hickory but any fruit tree will do the trick. You can also soak the chips in rum then dry

I use the Shavings from the red gum when I cut fire wood, soaked in Rum. Also when I prune the fruit tress I put then in the chipper to use as-well

I'll admit I don't know that much about all the Eucalyptus/Gum varieties and what type of flavor they emit but there are a lot of flu and cough remedies that have Eucalyptus in them. The idea of cutting into a 'flu' rib didn't sound appealing so I went searching. I read a forum in the old country since we cold smoke meats at home (Jervis Bay) and as a kid/young adult on the farm we'd smoke a lot of meats to look into Euc, since the Hickory smoking chips at the stores were ridiculous. I wanted an alternative, I didn't find a lot of positive comments. I'm sure a good rum soaking would give the smoke a vary 'Caribbean' sensation... man.

I'd look for fruit trees too, Apple, Cherry, possibly nut trees, like walnut? If I hadn't found an alternative I'd have been over to Young and other orchard areas looking for pruning. I'd also wondered about grape and olive but didn't have the time to research.

On the farms we'd would use Hickory/Mesquite on red meats, Alder/Apple on fish, Hickory/Fir (Oregon) on pork and only cold smoke.
