Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Nice, one question. Was it already assembled. It appears that your lower shelf is in up side down.

 

No it wasn't, I did it that way ... it's like having a back stop on it from anything falling off lol

 

any sugar in it?

 

Yikes. No pressure, now .

My goal is to get it done in less than 2 whiskies and not have too many parts left over .

I'm willing to bet you paid less for the two of those than I did for my one .

I took a quick glance through Craigslist, didn't find anything, then bought new.

 

No, not a sweet meat kind of guy.

 

I'm not averse to rain......cooked in a pile of storms.


Just gonna throw in the towel tonight due to the lighting.

 

It would be nice to get some rain....

 

i have no life so i checked craigslist religiously hahaha

i got one for $60 and the other one for $50 i think

But you'll love the 26"

Whats the first cook going to be?

 

same here. We had 20% chance yesterday and it went East towards Houston.
We had some possible storm this coming weekend, now thats off the forecast too

 

Ha North Alabama as well, my yard has gone dormant (zoysia). Was supposed to have rained today, but negative ghost rider. After my doctors visit I laid in the pool all afternoon.

 

its been all or nothing here last few years. Its all snow, all rain, all dry...we had a good snow pack this winter and wet spring...then everything dries up. A chipmunk could fart and it would catch stuff on fire...doesnt mean crap to have a heavy winter and a dry summer...

 

not really smokin but grilled fish and squash out of the garden

 

Good question. I don't want to do low 'n slow for the first cook. I bought it to replace my grill. Maybe some steaks, potatoes, and corn? Whatever I do, I'll try to get it loaded up!

 

Tri tip roast from Costco

 

Split the difference. I like it.

I have a lot of meat at home that needs massaging. I'll figure something out. .

 

yeah, I don't really consider tri tip low and slow because it cooks so quick... maybe half hour at 225-250, then sear over hot coals in the open 5 minutes per side until IT 130. Rest, slice in correct directions (there are two, which I know you already know), grub.

 

@itzyoboipaul , stopped by costco earlier.



This was one of the best bending, thick flat corner (the normally thin corner) I have seen in a long while. will try and get actual pics of it but I think I'm more nervous to smoke this one than I was with the Snake River Farms one

 

More brisket pics:





I know that thick corner looks fatty but it's pretty thin on the cap right there.

 

Damn Costco gonna get us broke

 

I know! On my way home everyday. I try not to stop and price check
