Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

it gets cold enough where I am...AK, SD, ND, MN, MT, all bunches of nope. I actually spent some time in SD during the winter...-60below windchill...NOOOOOOOOOOOPE never again!

 

I get the shivers when it gets down to 60 above 0. NOPE.

 

I smoked some Bologna for a retirement at work .... just a little bit of Memphis style BBQ rub and smoked using apple wood.

 

Picanha, Wish it was prime though

 

The Dakota's do get some wind once they cut the the corn isn't anything to stop the wind between here and the Rockies. It isn't the 60 below windchill (sometimes 40 below actual air temp) that beats you down. It is that 30 plus days of below zero crap that beats the piss out of you. Well me at least.

Next place I go to live when I first visit and they have electrical outlets on the parking meters to plug your block heater in I am running, not walking, away. Not a fan of 3 digit digital thermometers either. Could be triple digits for heat or have a negative sign in front of it.

 

Somebody who knows what picanha is!!

 

Those look like tongues.

Tasty tongues, but tongues none-the-less.

 

Im with you on that one!!! One of my old supervisors is in AK, with his wife from the Philipines!! I was like how do you survive?? Hes like soon as I retire for good Im moving back to the lower 50

 

Well... It's labeled ...

 

Shape looks a little odd........hard to tell

 

Just some grilled fries and chicken wings

 

then you are fighting off mosquito's the size of humming birds...

 

Yes they do. They were (2) 5# chunks of Bologna that I sliced in 1/4...... I do believe they are ground up in there somewhere. You know “snout to tail” they say

 

Grilled fries eh. Need to try that!

 

I did a simple black bean and enchilada sauce chicken bake at 350°F cherry wood in the upright. I mean boneless simple. 8 thighs can of Black beans can of enchilada sauce. Go.

 

I ramped the temp up 375° then 400°F briefly. Sauce thickened up, chicken not over cooked. Tasty, next time I may add a few herbs and spices. Served with tortillas, corn, roasted broccoli.

 

FTFY.

 

morning all

 

Long day of tailgating for the UGA/ND game tomorrow. We are having it catered since we are expecting a big crowd, but I am going to do some fattys too. Doing a breakfast fatty and a buffalo chicken, but want to do one more lunch one and can't decide. Any ideas?
