Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

$0.98 per pound here. Got 4

 

Nice work guys. Must be butchering season. I need to check the grocers. Shoulder has been up around $2.75/lb all year here.

 

$1.75 in Northern Ohio. $4/ lb for baby backs! $7.50/lb for brisket. They're killing me slowly... But there's no inflation! Just ask the Fed!

 

I wonder what deals they'll run this weekend.

 

I like it when Sam's puts both ribs and Prilosec on sale at the same time... It's like a double win!

 

Just prepped 20lbs of pork butt for a party tomorrow. Going to fire up the smoker around 2a

 

Got them on about 02:30


After about 6 hours


Pulled well




Got three of these trays filled up for the party. Most of it was consumed very quickly. I was able to grab some to take back home for leftovers!

 

Typical weekend once a month dinner here. Done on a pellet smoker Yoder 640. You want easy and perfect smoked meat and can sleep on the long cooks?



Yep, the wife wanted ribs. Wicked Beans. She made her normal magic Tater salad.

 

This thread sucks. My smoker is in storage and I had to leave my pile of mesquite behind in Texas.

 

It would suck to have ones' smoker in "jail". But I wouldn't give a dime for all the mesquite in Texas, if I had to use it.

 

I used that and oak. Usually I'd get a good coal base of oak going and add mesquite splits as needed. Loved it.

Guess I'll be using oak and pecan once I'm back to smoking again.

 

It's been quiet in here. Time for that weekend bump.

Getting her all dolled up for tonight's smoke.





This will be my first overnight smoke too.

 

Thats Purdy! ^^^^ I just did a 23 hr Brisket and it came out looking like this :

 

This is a Big ol' Butt I did for 4th of July. I use a big green egg... That my friends is an amazing piece of bbq equipment

 

Hey greeneggs I am not sure it can stand up to what you guys have there in Texas. SOMEDAY I will visit and try some of what your state has to offer.
What are you cooking on?

 

This was that same brisket at about 20 hrs, I sent it to my buddies coming over and they thought I burned it! haha NOOBS!
Speaking of noobs, this was only the second brisket I had done. The first one went for about 8 hours and was too tough, I fixed that by tripling my cook time

 

what do you guys think of traeger smoker/grills, can you actually grill on them? I was looking to buy my dad one, but he would want something multifunctional with LOW maintenance. I find that I usually have to baby the BGE with charcoal and all.

 

Thanks. I've only started smoking about a year ago. So I have many things to learn. You like you have your stuff down like there's no tomorrow. Have you smoked for a large crowd yet? 50+ people? I've only made one pig for 75, but that was on a Caja China.

And as to what I'm smoking on
