Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

yeah, chimney starters are one of the best BBQ inventions ever.

 

If you have a good butcher you can usually get a good blend for your patties also. One I've really enjoyed was a blend of Chuck, Brisket and Sirloin they can play with the quantities of each I usually go higher on Chuck then split the rest in the brisket and sirloin.

 

Ive been spoiled on wildgame so most of our burgers are either elk, deer or moose not in any particular order.

 

Wish I could do that. I don't get to hunt much anymore so it's REAL hard to come buy and buying it is stupidly expensive.

 

I find that beef ribs are better braised than smoked.

One of my favorites is ground venison with about 20% chorizo mixed in. Yum!

 

yeah, it is a luxury we take for granted thats for sure. I do however buy brisket, ribs and chicken bacon/sausage etc. and the occasional pork shoulder.

 

Any suggestions on smoking a 10lb pork loin? Was given 2 whole pork loins and have no idea what to do with them.

 

me gusta chorizo

 

Ya it's a nice thing when you have all that meat you can bag yourself. Growing up there was never a winter we didn't fill up the freezer with wild game. LOTS of Venison, rabbit and things like that.

rabbits are harder to find but they taste similar to venison...at least the one I had did.

Just cleaning the fridge out....kind of

 

Is that chicken? What cuts, what breading?

 

My better half made some outstanding deep fryer catfish with a cajun breading last night. Took the left overs and put them on the cook @225ish and buried it in a heavy cherry smoke and fresh lemon squeeze for about 20min. Then let it puuuurr for another 10-15min. The breading set up right. A perfect crack of the breading, Followed by a gamey, somewhat slimey, lemon fresh chew of the blue cat. Shit was amazing.

 

Very nice. That's what's possible with leftovers! Fried no less. Great.

 

This percentage, that cut, perfect burger crap. Next time you have brisket cut some of the fat cap off and save it. Then go to your local mega mart and find the day old ribeye they are blowing out for penny's on the dollar. Grind it all togother 4:1 adding your favorite mix====win.

 

mmmm meat cupcakes
