Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Yeah but this is Minnesoda LOL. Usually only breaks 90 a couple days a year if that. On third day already, heat advisory continued into tomorrow. Had too many heat strokes in my previous life. I know this is a fluke but has me ready to pack the grills in the taco and head further North. After I grill something

 

I know It's 90 in Chicago WTF

 

80 here but we also have a subtropical storm coming in off Florida.

 

Thanks just bought one

 

Well in 2011 we had 90 consecutive days of over 100 degrees hahaha

 

Well that Texas. You get hurricanes, Hot ass weather, tornadoes.

 

And $1.97 a lb briskets all year long

 

Found some rub to use on these bones. Should be just enough to get 'em done.

When you pressure wash your deck...do you use any specific type of soap or cleaner.....or just water ?

Mine is overdue. Damn thing was so slick this morning that I almost busted my arse going out there to grab my smoking wood for use in the driveway smoking effort today.




I currently don't have a gasser, but can see the need to add one. I'd love to get a large griddle for it and be able to cook breakfast eats really easy.....sorta like a Blackstone....only with more capability.


A buddy recently bought the ginormous Weber Genesis. It is one super impressive grill. Mighty handy. He uses it for chicken, wings and other stuff that really doesn't need much smoke. Super convenient.

Was wondering the same thing.


Both Kamado Joe and BGE have lifetime warranties (not transferable). He should make sure his buddy files a claim and gets everything replaced before he buys it.

Ceramics are great kamados but the stuff does crack on occasion. I've used my warranty on my KJ for a number of things....up to and including them offering to send me a brand new BigJoe. They've stood behind their gear very well.

Cool. He's got some neat stuff in there, for sure.

 

I’m not sure he knows what he’s talking about, hopefully it’s a rust stain on the outside! I’ve got my fingers crossed!

 

Cool.

I figured it was either the lower vent hardware or the stand the grill rests on.

Hopefully he can use the warranty to get it resolved and make it good as new. I till have a brand new firebox that KJ sent me to replace the cracked old one.....they suggest I keep using the old one, too. Great customer service from them.

 

Aftermath of the incident. Ugliest of Ugly Drum Smokers .

 

Damn.

 

Some high temp paint and good as new.

 

My Memorial Day Brisket.
9lb choice packer. Kosher salt and Coarse pepper only over oak.
This brisket had been in the freezer for over 6 months and still came out perfect.

 

I have another smoker to get powder coated and this one will just go with it. Sandblast it, then powdercoat it and no one will be the wiser.

Now, to decide on a color scheme...

 

Wicked smoke ring and it looks tender as hell!

 

Black with flames on it would be nice. LOL

 

I got a live look at that color scheme and I don't want to ever remember it.
