Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

It gonna be fun tomorrow morning!! Only 20 bucks to feed 100ish people. I’ll take it!

 

Wow where was that?

 

Magical world of food lion!

 

Very nice. That’s dirt cheap.

 

Managers special lol. I didn’t even know they were on sale today. I was expecting to pay almost double.

 

That’s a great bargain man. I would have cleaned them out.

 

INEXPENSIVE.

 

Inexpensive

 

It begins!

 

In foil right now, need to get past the stall. Party begins in 4 hours lol. Enjoy

 

Was just typing to you looking for an update

Look great!

 

5 hour smoke should be about 2.5hr or so in foil to get above 195. Usually I’m good on time for parties. Hit snooze to many time on my alarm clock lmao

 

foil and bump the pit temp up a notch... just in time

 

Well.....I went and screwed up....bigtime, too.


Went out to fire up my 22" kettle to cook a chicken....removed the lid and was greeted with nasty mold all inside my grill, dome, grates and Slow'n'Sear.

Evidently there was water left in the water chamber when I put it up. Three weeks in a hot garage.

What an idiot.

Needed to use this thing for some ribs tomorrow, too.

Running a full load of coals with the vents wide open in it now....may run another load again and then see how it looks after that.

Using the 18" for this afternoon's chicken.

 

Kill it with Fire! got some lighter fluid?... Will get it right again couple full loads of charcoal should set it right though

 

I haven't bought lighter fluid in ten years or more. It sure would come in handy right now. I think I'll grab some next time at the store just for such occasions.

I've got the nasty 22" running with a fully lit large chimney load poured over other coals, vents wide open. It was showing 500+ degrees. I left the Slow'n'Sear in there, too. Rotating the lid every so often.


Kill it with fire, indeed !!!!!!







Thankfully the little 18" Jumbo Joe was ready to rock 'n roll.

Hell, I may even do tomorrow's ribs on it. I'm not even joking. Snake method and let it ride......


















Spun it over the coals for a bit.....then back around....flipped 'em....and spun it back over the coals......now have them good and dizzy and spun back offset with the vents closed up to 1/3 and the lid on. Time to sip a beer and let it do it's thing.




At least their is spinach & artichoke dip and deviled eggs ready if anyone wants a football snack.








These two are so dang easy that it ought to be a crime.






1:2 ratio on Dijon mustard vs Duke's mayo.....everthing else to taste.


Dip is stupid easy and perfect for gameday.




10oz package of frozen spinach (thawed & drained)

14oz can of artichoke hearts (drained & chopped up)

3 cloves of fresh garlic (smashed & diced)

16oz container of sour cream

8oz package of cream cheese

2 cups shredded parmesan cheese


Mix it all together in a pan under medium heat until it gets slightly bubbly and then serve it up.

 

That plowboys yard bird is good on chicken. We use it a lot

 

Exactly what I did. Bumper to 290-300 and it melted in my hand.

Only had to delay the 3:30pm game by a few minutes to get lunch finished up.















Got it sauced up with her favorite sauce.















Little Jumbo Joe did really good today.
