Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

jerky has quickly become my go to if im bored and wanna throw something on since its so easy. Its all in your prep and how you cut the meat. I have had my best result with nicer steak cuts after I did a lot of trimming but both top and bottom round will work well too and are usually cheaper. Leaner meats with less connective tissues work the best.

Can't view the pics on that link... Hiw about posting a rib pic here?

I'm getting my grill ready to make some lunch:

 

Did someone say jerky? And the cheese that I did a few weeks ago.

 

hey fellow Alabamian, I feel like this could be the beginning of a very good friendship.

 

I could never be friends with a suck ass tyde fan...









J/K You're over in Decatur, correct? I'm in the Shoals Area.

 

im actually in Danville but work in Decatur, plus im prolly the best tide fan you'll ever meet, I only pull against auburn when they play us, I'd just as soon beat an auburn team that had 11 wins before they played us than one that had 11 losses. not that I lose any sleep when they don't win but im not gonna pull for JSU over AU.

 

Just found this thread...
I have a Weber Smokey Mountain with all the Càjun Bandit upgrades and an Unknown BBQ hinge I still need to put on. Love it, its a good, predictable smoker with lots of forum and FB group support, much like TW is for the Tacoma community.

 

Anyone smoking anything exciting for superbowl?

 

Define smoking?

 

I should've known around here! Ok....


Is anyone smoking any food items for superbowl?

 

Going to a friends. I offered to smoke and bring something but they already have stuff, so I'm going to break open some of the cheese I smoked back in December. This is the first time I smoked cheese and it's the first time I've opened any if it... Hopefully it will be edible!

What are you planning?

 

Sounds tasty! First time I tried smoking cheese I didn't let it mellow long enough and it was horrible!



Simple pulled pork. Put it in tonight and let it go. Smoking some wings tomorrow. Nothing too exciting.


I was waiting to see if anyone threw something out there to get me excited.

 

Going to make some giant ABT's to take to a friends!

 

Ohhhh yeah!!!

 

Ready for smoke!

 

Smoked "quick" Texas style brisket
in an aluminum roasting pan


I didnt read all the posts but I took a couple recipes and mixed them but basically it winds up as apply your rub 2-3 days prior to cooking, heat your smoker to around 250degrees apply 1 cup mesquite wood chips every 30 min...for 3hrs in the meantime heat your oven to 300 degrees. Once your 3hrs on the smoker is up wrap the brisket in foil and put in the oven for 3 more hours. Remove from oven and let foil cover loosly for another 30 minutes to rest. Cut and serve.

I start with this rub its also good on corn on the cob and chicken its from the virtual weber bullet site.

For brisket I add 2tblspoons of brown sugar, 2 TSP dried ground mustard, and 1 tsp cumin and 1 1/2 cups of apple juice to the pan.

All-Purpose Dry Rub
1/4 cup paprika
4 teaspoons table salt
4 teaspoons ground black pepper
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons chili powder 2 teaspoons granulated garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano

 

Buttermilk brine for some wings...


Try everything once!

 

prob be good! let us know how it turns out!
