Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

I’d tend to agree. You don’t cook scallops, you just kinda threaten them.

 

Yeah. Or on the grill for 3-4 minutes at 400° after a no heat smoke.

 

the traeger recipe is saw looks like they would be way over cooked and rubbery...

 

Might as well be freeze dried then. Terrible

 

Or chew on rubber bands. Almost like over cooked calamari.

 

They try to disguise it with 2” of batter. Instant push away food.

 

Never over cook a scallop. I’d imagine in 20 minutes smoking they’d be over cooked. Unless that was a very low smoke. You just look at a scallop and it’s cooked.

 

So you’d need a mirror for a reverse sear?

 

Agree.

 

I think smoke temp is right around 180. I can go check for sure after the storms here let up. Too much rain, thunder and nasty lightning right now.

 

No worries. Sounds like smoked scallops are prolly not gonna happen tonight anyways

 

Yeah stay away from your smoker right now or it’ll end up like @uhplifted ‘s infusing that heavy smoke taste.

 

Disappointing but it’s for the best bro.

Sorry for your loss.

 

I think on an ultra low smoke temp you would be good then sear them. Over cooked ones aren’t good.

Damn now I want some scallops.

 

More of me that I’m worried about. Smoker can be replaced.

 

If you feel the hair on your arm stand up....








Run away from the smoker.

 

Ya I don’t mess with lightning if I can help it. I gotta say I’m surprised we still have power with these nasty storms.

 

You around Ocala?

 

Not too far from it.

 

That does look pretty rough.

I need to make a trip to High Springs. Been too long.
