Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Fuck Yea Kroger 99c/lb both butt cheeks

 

Wanted to brag about my score today. Saw this on our neighborhood classified for $10 and I couldn't pass it up. I have a wsm but have never used this kettle. Besides grilling , Can I use this to smoke small size meats ?

 

Yes and no... there are three ways to build a fire in a kettle... off to the side for in-direct, ring of fire, and pile o' charcoal. The kettle gets pretty hot for low and slow. It does however make the best steak on earth when used properly. Go get some lump charcoal and a chimney and start playing around!

 

I did the ring of fire tek w/ reverse sear with charcoal n cherry for Christmas prime rib
it was awesome

 

Hell yes you can, just takes a bit of research. What a score. Plus like said, used properly it's the best grill for the buck on earth, and that's at normal price.

 

Welcome to the kettle club

 

Dude, go buy a lottery ticket. That is a true win right there. Best all around cooker Hands down. You can smoke, grill, roast, cold smoke, pan fry, dehydrat, saute', and use a wok too name a few. Well done!

 

#1. Ask @horstuff how to set up a kettle for a proper smoke. I will knock a shoulder/brisket out on the kettle every now and then just to keep it real.

 

I've smoked pork butts in mine. Just keep the fire small if you want to do low and slow. Get one of the grids that lifts up on the sides and you can add more charcoal as needed.

 

Anyone use the new "longer burning" charcoal from kingsford?

 

I use the new Weber Charcoal 100% lump

 

And I use this in just about everything

Dangit. I don't feel like renewing my membership.

I still use my card to get in and buy pizza and frozen yogurt on the weekends

 

The tortillas wont disappoint, they will however spoil you vs packaged tortillas...

We went to a Local Mexican place yesterday and I got beef fajitas, Its been a long time since Ive ordered them and these were quite good. Had the leftovers for lunch today

 

Thats a score!

 

Yea i have been reading and watching the "snake method" for the Kettle. very interesting and exciting


i also have a couple of smoker thermometer im planning to add this weekend

 

Why not? Off tomorrow, wife at work, ballgame started late (my time).

 

charcoal briquettes vs lump is as bad as Chevy vs Ford. I usally keep my mouth shit on this topic cuase it leads to nowhere. I haven't used any type briquettes in years. I recintly used some KF in desperation the other day and I couldn't even stand the smell of it. Went through the whole cook and was dissapointed. Took for ever to get started and come up to temp. Fire choking itself out do to ash, color of product wasn't right. Just a bad experience. You can find royal oak anywhere. Even cowboy is tons better. I engurge everyone to run at lease two bags of lump. You will never go back.

 

what kind of rub you using?
