Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Just finished watching them and trimming my brisket

 

HAHAHA!

I'll start promoting your videos once you make some!

 

Classic Frank’s smoked at high temp with hickory wood. Enhanced a bit with Pitfaced On Point.

 

Well the brisket came out decent, nothing earth shattering, then again I've never really had a taste for it. Did a little hybrid cook, let it sit in the smoke for two hours then cranked it up to 300 to finish, totaled right at 8 hours plus a rest. Meat had a nice bend to it, was crazy tender, and the fat rendered really well with a nice smoke ring. Everyone else loved it but to me it just wasn't anything to write to momma about.

Am looking forward to brisket sammiches for lunch this week though

 

Hahaha my wife mentioned something like that last night when I was slicing it up.

"What's wrong with it, you always take pictures of your meat?"

 

Joined the club this weekend after ditching my rusted out gas grill.

Thank you! Now that my wife and I are getting older, we’re changing some hobbies of ours and now want to be more involved in cooking and especially making some good meats. I appreciate the resources.

 

Ok, so we’re cooking premarinated carne asada tonight for our anniversary. About a pound. How should I cook it on the Traeger. The Traeger website says 45 minutes, raise heat then sere for a bit. Is that right?

 

Sounds about right. download the App and follow the recipes to a T. Can’t go wrong.

 

I would do it hot and fast! Ripping hot grill and flip the meat every 30 seconds - do this until you hit your desired doneness. Let the hot heat cook it, but also get some char on the outside. At least this is how I do my carne asada.

What cut of beef is it? Skirt? Flank? Flat iron? I’ve seen various cuts as a pre marinated cook.

 

I believe skirt is what we usually buy.

 

Yep..than definitely hot and fast if that is available for you to cook.

 

This is the way, but I only flip once.

 

I did it? Lol

 

Looks good! And now.. your hooked in here hahaha
