Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

I've got a list of back logged ideas... but it's a secret...


Have you tried any grilled or smoked desserts? That's something I have yet to venture into beyond grilled peaches and watermelon... skip the watermelon... it's better cold.

 

I generally don't do sweet things since I am sweet enough!

 

Likely stay that way with no Wifi. Can’t be hacked.

 

savory desserts are a thing too!

 

HAHA the Pit Boss website is blocked at work LOL

 

Have you done goat? Goat is a lot more accessible than ostrich.

there’s also bison. Easier to grow than beef and better for the environment and cheaper yet the cuts are like 5x the cost because it’s trendy. But could probably find something nearby.

 

What inspires me isn't fancy or rare or expensive ingredients but rather taking common things to a different level.

 

What's up with the sake wings? Do you just submerge them overnight or something else?

 

Pull some chilis out your garden and make barbacoa with a tray of veggies underneath to catch the juices. That's always a go to for me.

 

I don’t aim for expensive. The point of barbecue is that it took the scrap cuts that weren’t good enough for the rich, and they tossed them toward the poor/slave population. Barbecue was making those cuts taste good and be edible. Then you see brisket bridging 10$/lb in some areas, it’s counterintuitive to the entire point of it all in my mind.

That’s why I said you can probably find bison but it might be expensive because it’s trendy to want bison because it’s better for the environment.

what about Lithuanian? Have you ever tried a berbere heavy rub before?

I haven’t used it for smoking before so I can’t vouch for it there, but now that my mind went there, I’m tempted to try some things.

 

30 minutes to overnight...

 

We just met!

How's beef prices doing for everyone else? Returning to normal?

Costco seems to be getting back to "regular" prices. Last couple times I went the briskets were $2.59 for Prime, but there were only one or two available and they looked like, as @Bigdaddy4760 calls them, ridin' bull briskets.

 

Guess you gotta take those out back & work ‘em over a bit before Smokin’.

 

Havent checked walmart, costco had prime brisket for Walmarts choice price.

 

Discount code : BOGO

free shipping also

 

Beef is normal price now, steak is even cheaper.

 

So this i gotta try. Whats the recipe/process
