Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Be patient! Pics when I’m home. Have to make a few pit stops. But they look good and clean. Looks like it was used less than 5 times. Still had some charcoal and Sme leftover shit on the grate but a quick scrub and good as new

 

what is this patience you speak of??

 

At the HD now. Getting some charcoal and a can of wd40. The mechanism to lift the grill off the stand is sticky and needs a little love. Other than that it’s spotless. No rust anywhere either

 

Anyone use this stuff? It’s $10 for 40 pounds

 

Dammit. Just got home and realized I forgot to buy a metal trash can for the ashes and

 

I bought some and used one bag so far...seems to work fine

 

I just went with the kingsford. Was 15 for 40# of it. Now I gotta learn how to use the damn thing.

It’s definitely been used more than 5 times now that I took it apart. Overall solid condition though for $30

 

The outer circle seems to have snapped. Doesn’t affect the rest of it though and sits ballanced if you find the right spot.


Very minor rust on the bottom air flow. Still opens and closes smoothly though

 

doubt its been used much since the coal grate isnt even warped....

 

Ya it looks pretty good overall. For $30 I’m stoked haha.

Now what other fun things do I “need” for this to make it even better haha

 

A ribeye cap steak.

Am I right @Cold Iron ?!?!?

 

Soon that $30 Weber will be the $6M grill. We can build it bigger, stronger faster...

 

about to head to the store for some shit to take up to my friends bbq tomorrow. Likely will get some ribeyes for it tonight

 

What’s this mini smoker you speak of?

 

Should I get one of these:

Weber 7403 Char-Basket Charcoal Briquet Holders

Or one of the vortex things? Like this:

Mostly got this for grilling and searing but may use it when i need some extra room on the GMG and do wings or something on this

 

Heading to get some charcoal and a Boston butt. What else to throw on there tomorrow?

 

It’s just one of these little Masterbuilt Propane Smokers. Just put an adapter on it so we can use a bigger tank.

 

Close both vents, the fire will go out. Reuse the leftover coal.
PS. have video recording when you blow it up. The lid will look like a flying saucer.

 

I still prefer to dump ash in a metal bin rather than plastic. Never know when you may need to dump hot coals still haha.
