Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Now THAT is using your head for more than a hat rack!

 

Looks GREAT for being two hours post slice! (the later post that is)

But this is the issue I've hit before. Cooking post cook while resting...

From what I've gathered, and will try next time:

Once cooked to doneness:
pull and let rest uncovered while monitoring temp probe
"cool" to 165°-170°
Wrap tightly in Foil, towel and then into preheated cooler.

Sounds like this may be a small touch that may yield better results come slicing time.

But I'll document it either way

 

I use Jimmy dean hot. No beef but whatever works for you. And some onions because they're my favorite

 

only pic I can find right now of a cut fatty...

but this one was stuffed! Just cheesey eggs

 

Here are mine from last weekend. Not sliced though.



Thought I had some older ones on my phone but no go.

 

Nice and full! I just put a little bit of cheese in there. Not nearly as big of a core as that!

 

Picked this up the other day. It still had a few days left on it before expiration. Can't beat five fitty for a tri-tip!

 

is it frozen? or condensation ?

but darn good price!

 

Frozen. I was going to vacuum seal it but just tossed it in. I've done it before and doesn't hurt the taste or texture.

 

all good. Just curious. I'm a bulk buyer so I freeze a lot.

 

Taters ARE veggies!

 

Is a fatty just a stuffed meatloaf?

 

Sort of. It’s not as big usually and a lot of them use sausage or a mix of it and something else.

 

A little reverse seared skirt steak tonight .

 

Two spatchcocked chickens - one seasoned with Lawry's Seasoning



And the other with Pork Barrel BBQ



And a shot of the juiciness!



First time doing a whole chicken, let alone a spatchcocked one. Smoked in the new smoker for 4 hours at 250°.

(Side note: Received new internal temp probe for the new Pitt Boss Verticle pellet smoker and it seems to have done the trick.)

 

And wrapped with bacon!

 

Friday night prep action

 

My man! Bag is looking a little light



I owe some prizes. Hopefully shipping tomorrow. Did you win a rub?!?!

 

Rub is cheap. It's the tug that costs you.
