Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

what kind of wrapper you using? Homemade or store bought? They look amazing.!

 

It’s a lumpia wrap, geez you should no that

 

what BRAND/packaging...

 

Picked up from Filipino market were I live . Aisian markets should carry it too.

 

we use this one here

 

I used the gasser and grillgrates last night. Again. With the smoke box and wood chips only time I use wood chips instead of chunk. It does work well.







Plow finally came by time to go blow snow out of the drive. A lot of it. They claim -35 Wednesday night. Just shoot me. Now.

 

brrrrrrrrrrr

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr that last picture looks coooooooooooooold

 

That's some dedication right there

Do you soak your chips? I've done it both ways and got a quick fire unsoaked and almost no smoke when they were wet...

 

Teens below last night not sure of windchill. But yeah it was cold. Up to 11 now, above zero. Think I will zip the jacket to run the snowblower. And put on hat and gloves. Getting too old for this shit weather.

 

We have a fairly new co worker who moved from Minnesota to Austin, Tx last September. I bet she dont miss the weather. 71 here today, although it's expected to get to the low 30's tonight

 

I do soak them because if I don't they will burn right away just like you said. The grillgrates seem to help them burn when wet but that is also the side where my sear station is so it gets pretty hot. But before the GG I would also struggle on high to get them to smoke too.

The only way I could get it to smoke wet before GG was when I removed the grates altogether and sit the box on the burner. That worked.

 

Texas is a different kind of cold...

 

Fired up my little charcoal grill for some smoked mac-n-cheese and prime ribeyes. Cooked lobster tails in the oven and then seared the steaks on cast iron before serving.

 

Must be cold if a midwesterner is complaining!

 

They claim that there is a good chance of breaking the coldest windchill record in Mn. which was -67 set in 1936. Some records should just stand forever LOL. -35 air temp is no joy either hope they are wrong, and often are.

 

I spent some time in extreme cold. Once it gets below like -20, you cant really tell, your skin just freezes faster.

 

Ya I was reading it could hit -70 there. Going to be -20 to -40 in MI where I’m from. That’s DAMN cold.
