Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

I'll get a TW price tomorrow and let you guys know!

 

How long did it take to cook? Would like to cook a pig one day but don't have a big enough grill or enough people to feed to cook a hawg.....A small pig like this would be perfect.

 

Damn, ordered mine last night. Owens had a decent price but the $12 seemed a bit high for S&H coming USPS.

 

It was right around 6-7hrs at 275 with the defuser plates in.

 

Any of you use lower sodium rubs? Went to heart doc today and she was thwapping me over the head about my blood pressure. @bvbull200 , you got any?

 

When our stuff gets back from R&D, I'll have precise nutritional info so I know just how much sodium we actually have. From there, I'm happy to look in to making a lower sodium option. I can't say that I have that available at the moment, though.

I'll start looking in to what we can do.

In the meantime, I've heard some of the Stubb's stuff is lower sodium? Check to make sure it fits your dietary needs, but worth a look. I'll check with some other folks and let you know if I hear of anything.

 

before and after pics of how I season my wood.

Side view before I painted it...


Dimensions....my friend built this for me if anyone wondered.

 

Make your own rubs and you control your sodium intake!! That's what I do....

 

I already do that, but I guess I'm looking for info on how much to put in and not totally fck it up by being bland as hell. According to doc, one teaspoon of table salt per day is the goal. Not sure I'm ever gonna hit that or if I will care. Rather die sooner happy than live longer by stopping food enjoyment.

 

How about a rub that includes blood pressure medication

I have hereditary problems with high blood pressure so I get where you're coming from unfortunately.

I try to do low sodium for most stuff but "allow" myself good BBQ!

 

I forgot to post my 1/2lb elk burgers from last Friday.

 

6hours I'll show my results. I usually do split logs but found some pear chucks I forgot I had.

 

The best part is he doesn't even use the stuff lol he makes his own

 

That just makes him a hoarder (whore-der ?). Buys it, stores, it, never uses it, just builds bigger sheds.....

this shit is ridiculous. the guy found an old weber performer and fitted his WSM into it. so he has the one touch cleaning system at the bottom of his WSM. *mind blown*

 

Now that's is awesome!

 

Elk is really good but i can't find it around here. Only thing I can get are Bison burger which is really good allso.

 

Weber is giving out free charcoal samples again. I didn't sign up in time last time but I did this time. Hopefully I will get a pack.
