Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Forgot to post this last weekend from cape lookout. Did beef ribs and flank steak. Weber
Jumbo joe 18” with the Slow N sear did an amazing job just like my weber26 setup.

 

Defrosted a Tri tip on Saturday, it’s fine to cook today right?

 

Should be if it’s been in the fridge

 

i think the 22 will be perfect for me. it's fairly portable and can use the small propane tanks as well as it has an adapter for the 20lb tank. Can't wait to get it seasoned and fired up.

 

I figured. Wife has me second guessing!

 

How did you defrost it?

 

I feel you brother. I’ve never had allergies in my life until this spring and it’s heckin bad. Zyrtec fixes it but there’s a layer of yellow pollen on literally every outdoor surface along with some indoors.

 

Does anyone use those thermometers with ribs? If so how do stick it in?

 

I don’t. I just use the bend test.

 

but my guess is pointy end first into the soft spot between the bones...

did that visualization help?

 

I'll eat anything

 

Ill try most things at least once to see if I like it. Sometimes twice if it’s not vomit bad.

 

so much meats happened this weekend... photo game was terrible was too busy cooking

Gave the Treager a work out
Even fired up the meat slicer!

4 large tritips for tritip sandwiches, Corn, bunch of various sausages on saturday for probably 20-30 ish adults.

Then again Monday Asada, chicken, pastor, fish tacos. Jalapeno poppers, more sausages.... for another group of 20 at my place

Good times!

 

Sweet and spicy.

10 Lb brisket for Monday late night thru Tuesday cooking.

Injected with:
4 oz apple juice
1 oz worshy sauce
1/2 oz chipotle hot sauce
2 oz maple syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar.

sweet and spicy. I used about 2/3 of it. I had some left over.

Dry rub mustard for stick, Weber KC BBQ dry rub heavy, OX Roast and Piccantissimo lighter coating.

When it gets close to done (one hour) I will pour more apple juice on it then coat it with brown sugar.

It's out of the smoker and taking a nap now.

 

dont try Armadillo...thats some nasty stuff. I'd take a chance on a road kill skunk before trying that again...

 

I know someone that ate raccoon. Didn’t sit well with him.

 

yeah I was just joking about the skunk, but theres a handful of animals/rodents I wouldnt eat if I was starving. raccoon, skunk, opossum, armadillo, ground hog, coyote...

 

I don't either but I'm trying to get a solid temp without Flare Ups every time I open the lid.

 

Here in PA, lots of old timers eat ground hog, and supposedly enjoy it. I won’t eat it. A coworker brought in porcupine one day, no thanks.

 

I don’t see why you couldn’t use one. Maybe stick it in from the side.
