Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Was hoping that was easy cheese

Looks good! Cinnamon roll?...

 

No cinnamon rolls in the house. But I did have a few glazed chocolate doughnut holes after. Couple of hours later had a spicy chili and chocolate burp that was actually pretty damn tasty Think I know how someone figured out chili and chocolate works well together..

So after I wrapped the ribs I didn't go back outside for an hour and a half. Pit temp was 40° and firebox overflowing with pellets, no fire. Only took about 10 minutes to clean it out and get it back up to 300° but not sure where the meat is now. Guess I should start using the thermoworks smoke and setting a pit temp alarm. Just to be safe. Going to be a late supper now but seems like that happens more times than not around here. Will let them go for at least an hour then unwrap and go from there.

 

A good chocolate bar in a Chili adds a nice depth of flavor and almost a creaminess to it. I’ve been adding it to me chili for many years.

 

About how much chocolate per quart and do you go with milk or dark?

 

When I make a good sized pan of it I use high quality milk chocolate and I use 8oz to 12oz.

 

I received this one today. Definitely think this will take my cooking skills to the next level.

 

The wellington turned out fantastic. I served it over some parsnip puree with asparagus and a little reduction. Made for a happy mom on her birthday. She also busted out a cabernet from 2005 that paired really well with it. I think I drank 3/4 of the bottle

 

Oh, man, that looks amazing.

 

I’ve got a pork loin getting ready to go on that I rubbed with a 2:1 ratio of regular Meat Massage and On Point. This will be sliced up for lunches this week. If I can keep out of it lol

 

Tossed some wings on the grill with the Vortex to snack on while I make some Smokehouse Chili.

 

1.5 hours later she’s done. I think for pork, mixing original meat massage and on point is a winning combo! This thing is very tasty!



I need a smaller cutting board and/or a bigger platter lol

 

Pork belly

 

That's gonna be amazing!!
