Smoke foods are always delicious, may it be meat, fish or veggies. There are some easy and difficult ways to smoke foods.
I use an upright water smoker (Weber). Charcoals and wet wood
Ingredients:
- 10 medium Turkey legs
- 4 pints of water
- 6 tablespoons of salt
- 8-10 lbs. coals (wood coals are the more superior)
- 4 medium size smoker’s wood (maple, mesquite, oak etc.)
- 1 upright smoker
- Soak the wood in water until you’re ready to smoke the legs 2-5 days
Preparation:
Wash legs and add salt, water and legs into a bowl and stir to dissolve the salt.
Place this mix into the fridge for 2-5 days then discard the water. Place it back into the fridge if it’s not ready. It’s best to salt your legs 2 days before smoking.
Prepare the smoker as per its maker’s directions. Add enough water to the basin provided. When the coals are red hot, add 2 pieces of wood. Add your legs on the tray provided by the smoker. Do 5 legs on each tray
Cover the smoker and allow it to smoke for 3hrs at 240-250 degrees. Adjust the vent to regulate the heat. Add coals and water to the basin and wood as needed.
After 3 hrs., remove the legs from the smoker and wrap each leg with foil and place in smoker again. smoke for 2 more hrs. Remove and let sit for 10 minutes.
EAT ALONE OR WITH VEGETABLE GARLIC RICE OR CURRY RICE
