Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

The BBQ gods gave me a pass and the thunderstorm rolled through.

 

Havent yet but found some good ideas. May have to try one soon. Have to get some maple, cherry and walnut.

 

The weekend is upon us...what yall smoking?

 

Look for a Super Walmart. I have 3 near me and they are all loaded with Pitboss pellets (comp, Hickory, Fruit and one other). Also Lowes has Pitboss comp pellets cheap. HD has more options but I didn't look at the price. Costco had Treger comp pellets.

 

Brian's just not looking hard enough. Here the Walmart briskets are $1/Lb cheaper than the Costco ones.

I guess not all Walmarts are the same but I have two Super Walmarts within 10 miles. They both have a good selection of meats ( Brisket, 3 types of ribs, and Bison burger my fav) and daily fresh Sockeye Trout, Salmon and a couple others depending on the day.

 

I have a few times now. I trust the smoker enough to let in run overnight. I would add a larger water pan so it doesn't run dry and fill the hopper at least 1/3 full.

Original pan was replaced with aluminum one a while back.

 

Haha my water pan holds about a gallon and a half ish and I have a 60# hopper on this smoker.. it could run for a couple of days without a refill.

Edit: now I remember you have a similar smoker! Haha

 

Zero Dark Thirty and the pork is on!

Happy Friday everyone!

 

Yep, I've done that too -- need to cut close to the seal on the side of the bag though as it'll pull air along that outside plastic due to the texture.

Then I found the portion pack rolls.

Already sealed down the middle of the 11" roll and perforated. Gives you two side by side 5.5" wide bags.

*Perfect* for cheese blocks and lunch portions of stuff.

Good Morning Smokers

 

Morning Sir!

 

Moooooooooorning

 

I was wondering if anyone had a smoked baked beans recipe they would be willing to share... not happening today but wouldn’t mind trying it.

 

These were posted a long way back. They were excellent the one time I’ve made them.

Those look good.... I wonder if anyone makes them from scratch instead of adding pre-made (in this case Bush’s baked beans)
