Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

winter?! that when it's like 45°F out?

It's sad to say how I've lost my winter skin. Been outta Nebraska going on 17 years now... almost more than my time there! spread between SC (twice), WA State, and Texas. not much winter going on there.

 

Never got them

 

brb...

 

I lived more than 19 years out of the Winter, I have to admit though when the full on summer hit's in FL I'm ready to bug out. Too darn hot and humid.

 

Home run derby ribs. Last of my pitfaced rub and I'm holding out until I can get some unicorn rub at the same time.

 

Forgot to post end results, but there were no leftovers. Destroyed the whole thing with 5 of us. It rested for probably 3+ hours and pulled apart so easily. One of the best pulled porks I've done. Enjoyed it on the beach with some beers and with a mini bonfire in my Weber 22 because all the fire rings were taken... Then the stupid State Park PoPo drove up and said we can't have a fire unless it's in an actual firepit because Commiefornia is retarded but I digress...

 

I've never used the Pit Boss pellets but I get more than enough smoke from the Lumberjack and Cookin' pellets brands. They may cost twice as much but it's worth it for the taste and smell.

 

Got my charcoal rails and probe holders in today. Was gonna do a grilled cajun salmon on the gasser but gotta test the probe holders out on the Weber instead. Will have to do another reverse sear tritip this week now to put the charcoal rails to use

 

New to the Pellet grill/smoker thing. Got myself a Green Mountain Grill Daniel Boone. Having a great time with it so far. Everything has been top fuckin notch so far

 

Hmmm... I’m going to get a new cooking grate cuz the one that came with the grill is cracked and wobbly. Debating if I should just get a

$44 Weber Hinged Cooking Grate Stainless Steel, 22"

regular one with the hinges on the sides or if I should get

$60 Weber Gourmet BBQ System Hinged Cooking Grate

this one and also get the

$60 Weber Gourmet BBQ System Sear Grate,Black

sear grate to go with it?

 

Whoa! They did an overhaul on those Daniel Boones! Mine doesn’t have that lid with the I’m guessing see through portion? Also, did the front table come with yours? Yours looks way more decked out than mine

 

Yeah its the new Prime wifi model. The window is useless. The pellet window is kinda convenient. The front table is very useful, doesn't fold down though

 

Aww bummer. Ya that is definitely a prime model haha. The hopper window would be nice for sure. I REALLY need a front table on mine. Does the side table fold down still? Mine also doesn’t have the shelf like yours under neath. I guess I need to do some Smoker mods now

 

Yeah it does still fold down on the side. The cover for them sucks though, it baaaaarepy covers the tables and doesn't extend down at all

 

Ya, my cover doesn't even fully cover the side table when folded down all the way I think. It goes like 2 maybe 3 inches past the hopper too. Wish it was bigger, but luckily it stays under my covered patio so it's not exposed to much.

 

Looking at the GMG website again for other things I can buy for the smoker now... dammit! I kinda dig their hat too https://greenmountaingrills.com/pro...mg-heather-grey-snapback-hat-w-leather-patch/

 

I want a hat and the pizza attachment

 

Was just lookin at the pizza attachment too! It's not a bad price really, only $130. If my girlfriend could actually eat dairy products I'd definitely order one

 

2.5 hours in. Not wrapping this time.

 

@Cold Iron what’s your recommendation here? I already took your advice on the rails and second charcoal grate
