Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Puppies or kids? Onions are pretty toxic to dogs. Sounds like you are talking about kids though.

 

its good for them! also, its tasty!

 

I fail to see the issue.

 

Shall we check with @TXSmiley for a counterpoint?

 

Puppies. Well not really puppy any more. Think he is two and my other one is three.

Just did some reading up on dogs and onions. I'll have to keep a sharp eye on him for a couple days. Seems like it's real bad if it was a continuous habit of eating them.

 

He does this when he wants me to stay away.

Anyone got a guess at how long this will take on a DIY smokey mountain Joe mini?
1.86lb London broil

 

Not much fat in londons. Couple of hours at 250. Don't cook past 140.

 

I don't think wings are made for smoking. They dry out if it is on the heat for too long. They should be cooked fast; either hot grill or fried. I am not much of a fried food fan, so I grill them on a hot grill, direct heat, and if they start to get a little burned (typically if marinaded in something that contains sugar), then move to indirect heat until cooked through.

Some wings from this past weekend

 

Or just bake 2.5 pounds of wings at 450 for half hour, turning after 15 mins, then toss them in a bowl with 1/2 cup Franks Hot Sauce mixed with 1/3 cup melted butter. Boom.

That works too! I do like the grilled flavor though. And yes, Frank's is the best.

 

Closeup of said wings. Just a little char for flavor.
Also some smoked pork belly, then sliced and finished on the grill.

 

Smoke on high heat (300f) until almost done. Shake in cornmeal and fry to crisp

 

I have a vortex for my Weber I cook wings with. High indirect heat for the win!

 

Said no man ever!

 

True. Let me rephrase: I like fried food, but given a choice I prefer grilled or smoked.

 

So last year my first smoker went for a ride in a rain/ wind storm. So I decided to make my own smoker (I couldn't find one that I like for the price I was willing to spend).

 

This is some of the meat I did last year.
