Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Man that looks awesome. I’ve been wanting some good jerky but not fond of the stuff in the store for the most part.

 

Rain delay here too and just put the grates on the kettle 4 hours later than I wanted to. But nothing like what you all got down there. Down to 55° after it went through guess I better close up the house so I don't freeze in the morning when I take a shower.

Parboiled the thick sliced bacon for 7 minutes and it is a PITA to work with. Not pleased at all. Have partially cooked it in the microwave before when wrapping shrimp and scallops but it was hard to work with then too. I see a common theme here. Stick with thin sliced for wrapping when doing protein needing shorter cooks. Was worth a try, now I know and not like it is going to be a waste.

 

And we eat....

 

Again, I’m an old fucker, been around since 1962.. been trying to smoke meats, and jerky for over thirty years. Never claimed to be an expert on either, keep a log, but always experimenting. This may be my very best...

 

Ya done good man. That’s some jerky I’d pay to get.

 

I'm a 50's model Still playing around and experimenting too Fish was the first thing I smoked back in the 70's and then jerky. Your jerky looks great!



Had to use toothpicks on the asparagus to keep the bacon in place GrillGrates are as black and seasoned as my others already.

Only marinade was the cubed pork loin. Ginger Ale, soy, lemon juice and honey for 6 hours. 7Up or Ginger Ale for chicken or pork and coke for beef works well IME. Couple of professional caterer ladies tought me that at a gun club years ago.

 

Flickered but never went out in falcon pointe. I know a bunch in Avalon have no power

 

Apologies if this was previously posted, I hadn't seen it.

Good deals for folks in the market for a Kamado Joe and/or are in the Atlanta area.
Also a bunch of various accessories, rubs, supplies, etc.

 

was feeling frisky so I sent off for a quote from a local place to get the Weber Ranch blasted and High temp ceramic coated... curious on the price.

 

they offer Black, Silver, Gold, and Titanium... hmmm

 

No red for your razorback color

 

haha. nope. unfortunately not. Have to go high temp powder coat for that. which is an option still... but I know that stuff is spendy

 

You should get a quote for HT powder coating also. Want hurt anything.

 

yup. on it currently

 

Got the quote back. High temp ceramic coating with full blast prep....

$250.

Not bad at all... That'd be worth it. Waiting on a high temp powder quote now.

 

Not bad at all

 

If only red was an option! Thinking silver would be cool. Titanium would be too reflective.
