Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

I will need to see some pics of the finished product......

 

Spread the word.

 

Bourbon Cheeseburgers



We did a total of five for tonight.



Even at half a tin, these things are large.



Just toasting up some buns.



Some veggies for the beef.



The smallest one is for my youngest son. No way I was slicing mine in half for pictures.





When your cheeseburger has a smoke ring, you know it's on.

 

looks good!!

 

Not smoked really, but baked her on the pooper as to not heat up the house!

 

Recipe????

 

and what is it?

 

Shit! I guess I didn't say....

Mac n cheese!

 

Nice! I like a cheesy mac and cheese!

 

The word is in the group buy! Get you some Pitfaced BBQ rub and give those thighs a good rubbin'.

 

Long story short I got a bunch of branches and stuff from a rosemary bush my neighbor dug up a couple weeks ago. I let it dry and threw a twig about the size of my finger onto the hot coals while doing a reverse sear on some ribeyes. It was awesome, definitely a hint of added flavor above the salt and pepper on the steaks. Sorry, no pics, but I'm gonna do it again for sure. Just a kiss of smoke I guess

 

I start my bourbon burgers off a little differently...

 

Did I do good??

 

Love...





A few pounds of fresh ground chuck straight from the butcher table. The usual herbs and spices kneaded up in the chuck (I can nail it down if you like; long list). Put the chuck in cheese cake tins about half full and poke some holes 3/4 through. Add bourbon and a little more spice, then let rest for a bit. We used about 2.5 shots of bourbon for all five patties. Smoke low and slow 1.5 hours with 3 small-ish hickory chunks, a shot or two of bourbon for the cook, maybe a beer, too, then finish with a small handful of apple sticks the last half hour.

They are close to medium well when done, but super tasty. I would like to do them for 1 hour for more medium or even medium rare finish, but my wife likes her meat well, so.... compromise.

I am doing another round of chuck burgers tomorrow, along with a small brisket flat and baby backs. Should be a full day of smoking. And maybe a little more bourbon.

 

Butter, bacon, and King Hawaiian original pineapple bbq sauce.

Tomorrow is steak, lot of leftovers for surf and turf. Also adding lobster and crab stuffed portabella's.

 

No shit. Drool city.

 

cant go wrong there! My wife makes some good kababs with pineapple, bell pepper and mushrooms, but bacon works too !!

 

How did these bad mf'ers turn out?

I dig the recipes and they look awesome pre-cook!
