Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Yeah I’ve got that on the back burner as plan b. Smoker is under a carport so just waiting to see what the storms do. They’re calling for 40+ mph winds and 2-4” of rain with flash floods

 

Doesn't have to be cooked on the smoker

 

Not technically smoking, but we put the Easter bird on the pooper to save room in the oven.

 

Of course... I would have spatchcocked it.. but that's just me LOL

 

Brisket flat and prime rib for Easter

 

May finish this in the oven if the weather turns shitty. Still a ways to go before wrap.

 

I definitely wanted to, but I got over ruled on that one.

We don’t usually do Easter dinner, but due to the quarantine we decided to use it as a chance to experiment for Thanksgiving. All the sides we are making are new to us, so she wanted to do the turkey the way she always does so we can have one thing that will be good for sure lol

 

Looks like one of those new pitboss's.....can we get a pic of the entire smoker

 

I posted some pics awhile back, but always happy to post more lol

 

Boneless short ribs with some chili today I'm the smoker. Also broke in the flat top

 

What kind of thermometer are you guys using? I've used a Thermapro for years and the probes keep going out on me. I just ran a test in a bowl of hot water and it was over 100* off.

 

What Pit Boss are you using?

 

I had been using a thermopro foldable style, but I recently picked up a Thermoworks 600D. Not as fancy as the thermopen, but it’s reliable and works very well.

Best I could do on short notice coming home from work to find no one in my home made dinner...

3/4lb burgers made with beef from my wife’s cousins ranch

 

Should have added a drink to the picture and added it to the contest

 

Prime rib came out pretty good if you ask me

 

I wish I could’ve got a finished pic, but my wife started carving while I was tending the baby. This was one excellent bird. My wife did her usual treatment on it: slathered in a compound butter consisting of rosemary and orange peel with hefty doses of salt. Stuffed with a quartered onion and orange. The Pit Boss baked this thing like a champ. It was what I needed to convince my wife that it’s not just a ‘smoker’.

This is a pic of it a little before we pulled it out.

 

Throwing on a Tri-Tip!

 

Same smoker!
