This week, Luke is talking about cooking outdoors, more particularly smoking BBQ. Years ago, Luke lost many hours of sleep while tending a wood fired smoker all night and he still occasionally cooks with wood but he learned that that same great 'smoked' flavor can be achieved with an electric smoker. He uses a Smokin Tex smoker that gives a great smoke flavor with only five or six ounces of wood. The temperature is controlled with a thermostat and Luke often cooks meat all night long while he is sleeping with the thermostat set at 190 or 200 degrees.
Luke joins his good friend Kenneth Shephard this week and catches some farm pond bass. Kenneth has a little 10 foot flat nose aluminum boat rigged out perfectly for fishing small waters. Luke gives some tips on baits this week that will help you have fun and catch fish. You can watch the outing on A SPORTSMANS LIFE now on YouTube and www.carbontv.com
