Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

I think my cholesterol jumped 10 points just looking at that.

 

Worth it.

 

It’s a lot for one sitting. I finished 1.5 plus a half russet.

 

Brown's in Austin

PS - El Milagrito for tacos, really good (in San Antonio). I don't know the BBQ scene in San Antonio much though.

 

Actually no. I’m from Charlotte. I live in Greenville currently

 

Might just need a Shoulder to cry on lookin’ at that.

I’d definitely Roll with that. When you see that Rascal wish ‘em my Best if you please could.

 

I forgot I can smoke this weekend! Need to stop at the store on the way home and get some goodies. Might try to do some poor mans burnt ends just for S and Gs.



Addition:

got some pork ribs. Hot Italian sausages. Chorizo. And a pork loin. I’ve gone very oink based. Have some chicken thighs in the freezer I’ll probably grab some of those and start a brine tonight on them frozen and get those going too. No poor man burnt ends today but will probably plan on them in the near future. If it gets cool enough later I might run out and grab some big cheese blocks and put those in for Memorial Day burgers.

 

I'm smoking a pork butt for carnitas tomorrow so I've got it marinating in oil, salt, lime and orange juice.



While cutting the butt in half, a couple of smaller pieces came off so I put some oil and Pork Barrel on one and tossed it on the smoker. Getting close - it's at 93 degrees.

 

Smoked Pork Tenderloin with Cherry Habanero Glaze, Hominy with scallions and bacon and Blue Mashed Potatoes with Ranch Dip Mix/Sour Cream.

 

Thank you!

 

Cook well, my tasty friend.

 

Cherry-habanero glaze....sounds delish!

 

It's fantastic!! Just enough heat to know the habaneros are there but not so much that it ruins the rest of the dish!

 

My first real smoke is going well so far!



Just put it in an aluminum pan and covered with foil until it hits 203. Which will take longer than I'd like it to, I'm sure.

 

Looks great so far!

 

I refrained from taking off the aluminum foil for an hour while it rested but I could not refrain from taking a chunk off of the end.

Benefit of being the cook.





Pretty happy with my first outing.

 

Looks outstanding!! Good job!

 

Thank you! This new smoker is SO much better than my other one. And by better I mean this one actually works.
