Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Congrats on retirement. Im ready to go but thinking about next January or until I can’t stand it anymore.

 

Smoked sirloin (marinated in chipotle adobo and spices), homemade refried beans, and brown lime rice.

 

Looks great!

 

Thanks. First time smoking sirloin and I’ll be honest... not my favorite. I don’t think it’s fatty enough to get tender. In all fairness, I normally grill it in 2x2 inch strips and cube it for Mexican lunch bowls.

 

No kidding............you could put some nacho cheese on that beef but it wouldn't need it!

 

Blasphemy!

 

Hahhaha just having some fun with your name

 

I really enjoyed my work and most of the people. I just felt that for me 34+ years behind a desk was enough. Tech was changing, the youth had different work styles and this covid crap was the topper. I want to learn to relax

 

Congrats!

 

Visiting family in Commie-fornia! Good ole tri tip....always fun working on a grill you don’t know.

 

Looks good. Chewy?

 

Still cookin....


Got ‘em from a local shop. One Italian and one wine and garlic.

 

Just our local grocery store. Raleys which also goes by Knob Hill.

 

I have the PID controller working on my vertical pellet smoker. It's been running for 30 minutes now.



Instead of throwing too many pictures here I will link to my website. I can tell already that it runs differently. Instead of the fan shutting on - off - on -off the speed varies to keep the temperature more constant.

 

Oh I also have to add.....

This baby has WiFi!

 

Love my pellet pro. Dennis and the gang are great people and amazing customer service.

 

There is no reason to wait. Let's start with an overnight cook of a brisket.



Wifi works great. I have the phone on a charger stand where I can glance over and check on it.

 

Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. Turkey was too big for 4 of us so I split it. 1/2 is roasting in the oven, took the breast and leg and smoked them. Used the remaining parts to make turkey stock (broth). Quickly thawed some side ribs to make the smoke worthwhile.

 

Smoked crab legs and shrimp tonight.

 

Where is @Misplaced Nebraskan ?
