Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Smoked some ribs, salmon, and baked beans on the new RecTeq RT-590 that was delivered Thursday.

Food turned out great on the easy oven smoker. It was kinda nice getting updates and being able to control temps from the couch… But honestly, I kinda missed the hands on aspect of adding wood and adjusting temps (even if it was just a propane smoker). I think I foresee an actual stick burner sometime in my future haha!

 

What temp and how long? I’ve been wanting to try one of those…

 

It was about 225ish for 3ish hours. It was windy and cold out though so temperature was pretty hard to regulate evenly.

 

I've been eyeballing those the last couple times I have been to Costco, I need to give it a try.

What internal temp did you go to?

 

I took it to 150 internal. I know "new" pork temp is 145 if you aren't pulling it, but I don't particularly trust pink pork..

 

Merry Xmas!

Soooo, I took one pic and the rest of the day ran away from me. Chicken & veggies on the kettle

 

And we eat!

 

Looks amazing!

 

I didn't get any pics but I tried my first double smoked ham and it was a hit. Thanks for the inspiration guys. Currently making ham and bean soup with the leftovers.

 

Every good barbecue restaurant I’ve been to has two vegan options:

“Don’t come” or “ Leave”

 

I've had some decent vegan stuff. The time I respect it is when they say "this is smoked tofu" not "this is just like smoked beef!" nah - if I'm having tofu or whatever else I want to have tofu. Not try to think I'm not.

Then again - I like tofu and have smoked it myself and it was good.

 

Tofu isnt my thing but i agree just say what it is not what its supposed to be like...if its supposed to taste like beef ill eat beef...dont like it..dont be a vegan

 

Until I bag a 4pointer Tofu, don't tell me it's the same. Agreed, if it's good 'n tasty it should be able to stand on it's own two feet. Menu's real-estate is pretty expensive, if it don't sell it's not long on there.

 

I eat vegan, but I think I'm supposed to call her wife.

 

Warming the ham with a little more smoke. Trying the new Meater probe I got from this year’s TWSS.

 

Push the probe in up to the line engraved on it

 

Kept having connectivity issues. But eventually placing the phone just right by the window seemed to remedy that.

 

Let’s eat! Samiches tomorrow will be legit!
