We have found, at least with chicken, doing a brief marinade in cider vinegar and then doing a no salt rub it helps to maintain moisture. My husband has done smoked chicken wings and legs this way so far.Darnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4255922734437079511.post-58467426542895970292012-11-24T15:50:45.025-08:002012-11-24T15:50:45.025-08:00Thanks for the recipe.

I think thickly sliced tomatoes would be great and just about any vegetable, as long as it's sliced enough to allow smoke penetration.<br /><br />I certainly understand your hesitancy. It took me a couple of years before actually buying the smoker and another couple of months before breaking down and using it. As I said, I'm very happy with my decision. Once thing I really like is that I can do several different cuts of meat at one time. Then freeze them for later use. For example, when my daughter & her husband visited last Saturday, I pulled out a package of smoked pork shoulder, defrosted it, and served pulled pork sandwiches for lunch.<br /><br />Here's a vegetable recipe from "Dadgum..."<br /><br />Smoked Summer Vegetables<br /><br />Ingredients<br />Summer squash<br />Zucchini<br />Onion<br />Mushrooms<br />French Cut Green Beans<br /><br />Suggested Wood for Smoking<br />Hickory or Apple wood chips<br /><br />Directions<br />Rinse and thinly slice summer squash, zucchini and onion. Mix all the vegetables together. Form cup shaped containers using heavy duty aluminum foil. Place about 1 cup of vegetable mix in each cup. Season to taste with your favorite herbs and spices. Pinch top of foil cups together. To allow smoke penetration a couple small holes around the top of each vegetable cup. Place foil cups in smoker at 220 degrees for 1 hour.
