Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Never seen that, what's the symbol mean?

 

I'll never let my employees say I'm a bad boss. One of my guys asked if I would smoke him a pork shoulder so he could enjoy it with his buddies when he takes next week off. Here it is covered in unicorn rub before it goes on. Should be done late morning-ish tomorrow.

 

Walked out and hit the start button on my GMG Jim Bowie before dawn. 35f or so outside, drinking coffee in the kitchen and my phone beeps to let me know it is up to temp. Walk out with two racks of spare ribs I prepped last night to get started for lunch later.

yeah, I think I might be able to get used to the easy bake oven.

 

GMG is on the short list of my pellet poopers, I do like tech stuff and it fits the bill

 

Ok fatty guys, I’m going to attempt my first try of one of these beasts today. Do you all do a mixture of ground beef and sausage or just use all sausage? How much do you normally use? A pound of each or a pound of meat total?

 

Depends on what you’re making. I tend to not mix meats, I usually use 1 to 2 pounds of meat depending on how big I’m making the fatty. I’ve found 1 to 1.25 to give a good outer layer thickness though.

 

Guess who’s never buying cheap Rayovac batteries again for their ThermoPro? Energizer Ultimate Lithium from now on. I just had to thoroughly clean my ThermoPro due to busted batteries.

 

I have the same issue with duracells in game cameras. The energizer lithiums are the only ones I trust

 

Wife just sent me this, figured @Cold Iron would get a kick out of it too

 

I went with 1lb hot sausage and I am going to fill it with Colby jack cheese and sautéed mushrooms and onions. Will update when I get it built.

 

One pound chub of sausage or meat is what I use for a 1 gallon ziplock bag

 

I often times make two fatties at once and use 2lbs sausage and 1 lb ground beef between the two.

 

Update me on when to be there to help you eat it.
My smoking/grilling has been idle for too long, I need to get back to it.

 

I had leftover pulled pork and leftover garlic bread so...

 

NOM!

 

You should probably let me get at least one of these under my belt before you come all that way

 

Thank you for being one of the very few people who understand what an 'air fryer' really is.

I use lithium batteries in just about everything these days. They last way longer and won't react nearly so badly to heat or cold.

 

Deer tenderloins are on!

 

You mean loins? What size is the smoker?
