Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Mornin! Well had i known that, I'd have been checkin here more lol. Whatcha got on?

 

Just a chuck roast for tacos shredded with a mango pico mixed in at lunch for the guys and a corned beef for breakfast hash next week. Some deer sausages go on later.

 

oh is that all????

 

Small cook lol

 

Sounds fantastic.

 

Well I made it to sunrise! I should be fine (these briskets get harder on me every year, funny...). I did manage an hour nap. Yay? Not totally... Smoker got down to below 190 for maybe 30 minutes. But I ain't trippin'.

 

Guard dog set. Pecan and sugar maple mix in the smoke tube for a light bath. Will "cook" after a few hours of cold smoking. Nice cool morning here for it.

 

Gonna be a GREAT day!

 

That it is... Til I have to go to work tonight to support a big event from midnight til noon... But that won't stop me!

 

Looking mighty good. Awesome how the dog is in the middle of the Star.

 

Not staged or planned at all

 

Well yesterday evening I sold my GMG Jim Bowie sort of unexpectedly so I couldn’t go the whole weekend without a grill. After visiting a couple wal marts, I found one still in the box. I plan to get a Davey Crockett for camping use, but I’m excited to get this beast set up.

 

Same.

 

Didn’t you just buy brackets for the shelf????

 

13 hours.... still at 190°????!

 

I feel like everything seems off with this cook. I did have to promise my old lady to "take it easy" on beers, it's "our son's 18th birthday party", blah blah blah. I hope this doesn't bite me in the ass lol

 

Getting ready to pull them off in a little while. My old lady sees me getting the cooler ready and says "do you need the meat towel?".

 

I’ve trained mine to do the same

 

I did. A friend of a friend made me an offer I couldn’t refuse though. I came close to getting my money back out of it after a hard year of use.

 

3 hours later it’s rolling coal. Not an easy assembly by any means.
