Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Smoked some wild pig and chicken for the wife.

 

Morning all, you guys have been busy!

 

Sliced up some top sirloin steak (local, grass fed on sale for cheaper than a roast at $6/#) for a batch of jerky to pack with us to the kid's graduation in Boston in a couple of weeks.



Did most of it with my take on a pastrami rub (mostly from Meathead's recipe but I add salt and a couple of other flavors I like) and one whole steak Szechuan spicy style in a wet marinade. That one should be tongue-numbingly spicy

Will smoke later this week.

 

Anyone here close to Simi Valley / Santa Clarita or North Hollywood CA area that has a spare weber kettle they want to sell ?

Visiting my cousins/friends next month and I got to teach them a thing or two about what a weber can do.

 

Hi, I'm new here.....

14 Lb brisket on the new to me treager. started her early (1am) cause I knew I was going to have some hiccups. Wanted to make sure was ready in time for mother's day dinner. 4 am... came out to check it and sure enough was down to 125 . Restarted grill and seemed to be okay on the 225 setting. came back out around 7 was still at 225. Internal temp about 160. Foil wrapped proceed to cook for another 5 hrs or so for the Auger motor gave up the ghost. internal temp got to 192 was shooting for 205. All and all was solid was pretty juicy through out. could have used a little more smoke flavoring. I really want to try another brisket on the charcoal smoker.




Had some ribs as well.. 26 hrs at 159.5 in the sous vide was little aggressive. Was losing bones in the BBQ during searing process.




I've gotta replace the a few parts on the Traeger, she'll be back in action.
It's been sitting at my inlaw for a few years.


Polished her up a bit have used it a few times over last month or so without issue.



Looking forward to following along.

Havent smoked in awhile .Smoked a ribeye roast (rev sear ) last night for mothers day . Just used montreal steak rub. Next time need to try that kosher salt with olive oil and herbs rub .

 

Busted in my new traeger with some carne asada. Upgraded from the tailgater to the the pro 575. Extremely happy with it and god damn it’s delicious.

 

Great idea slicing fresh jalapenos and laying them on top. I will give this a try.

 

Looks bomb. I too will have to give that a go.

 

Haven't been on in a while (like 100 pages since i was last on) but didn't somebody recently build out an outdoor kitchen? We are moving and the new house has a nice flagstone paver patio with a pavilion over it and wondering if i can tackle adding an outdoor kitchen myself. This is what we are working with:
