Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

No smoking this weekend between sons basketball game, and it is cold out, so chili on the stove tonight.

 

You guys are killing me....going to throw some drumsticks on the smoker here when i get back home

 

I had originally planned to split my chuck roast between chili and burnt ends, but after it was cooked I said screw it and made the whole thing in to burnt ends. I also did a dozen wings that I soaked in a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale over night and coated them in buffalo sauce after cooking. Definitely a good cook day.

 

Damn those chuckie burnt ends look great! Been too long since I've done them.

Thermoworks Smoke on sale today for $69.30 think that is the lowest price I have ever seen it. Smoke Sale

 

Never saw this before. Came across it at Costco today and grabbed it. I see it getting added to my wing rub, over fries and who knows what else.

Ooh. There is an idea. Add dry ranch mix to the Franks seasoning.

 

Yes! Makes a lot of things a lot better! Haha!

 

Looks great

 

Looks great

 

Nice simple rottisiri chicken seasoned with roasted red pepper and a bit of crabapple for smoke

 

How did I never think of this!? I'm making wings tonight so I'm definitely going to try this. I'll try and remember to post pictures and give my thoughts.

 

As promised here are the results. They don't look any different than my usual wings but they sure tasted different! I didn't measure but I figure I dumped in 1/4 - 1/3 cup of ranch mix into my sauce bowl. The results were great and I'll for sure do this again.

 

Make him an offer, asking price is only a suggestion IMO.

 

I had the same idea yesterday!

 

Found a pound and a half of bacon in the fridge tonight that needed cooked. Don't have any idea how it escaped me and lasted that long... Had a pack of chicken breast that expire on Wednesday. Butterflied the breasts filled them with ham and cheese and wrapped with bacon. 3/4 lbs bacon on each. Typical Iowa chickens from HyVee they are huge.



An hour at 250° they are well smoked, getting hungry so turned the pooper up to 300°. They will be done when the bacon is done

 

I have never put avocado in chili but sounds good.

 

Looks amazing! I usually use 1 packet of ranch dip mix (or the equivalent) to a big jar of Franks.. now that I make my own Ranch Seasoning mix it might be a little different measurements but the effect is the same !

 

Wth...
