Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

I could tell from the picture

 

Smoked wings! My daughter is happy to have her braces off.

 

Hell yeah!

 

Best fries ever...oven baked. those wings look awesome. Yay for braces...BIGGER yay for no more braces!!!

 

Tri tips…

 

Wife bought a Costco Tritip pack and it had a three pound tri tip and a one pound tri tip… cut the bigger one to size at the cost of having to cook two later on.

Kind of tick off at the butcher who thought it was cool to put two drastically different size cuts into a two pack. They also hid the smaller cut under the larger cut. So need to keep an eye on that in the future.

 

Tri-tip was new to me a few years ago. Crazy...what was once "cheap" cuts of meat are now "regularly" priced because people know how to cook them properly.
Back in MY DAY...(grandpa Simpson voice), I used to but brisket flats for $2.29 /lb. Chuck eye steak... $2.89 / lb

 

I shoot for the 50/50 packages or pass entirely. Not worth the waste including: the tumbleweeds, a few charcoal briquets, and the time it takes to burn them down to store the grill.

I’d probably toss the one pounder into my grind pile in the freezer, knowing full well it’s overpriced for burger meat

 

That Apollo sauce is hot.

 

Not as hot as the one next to it...

 

I haven't had that one yet. It's been awhile since I ordered from them. I've been doing a lot of 0430 workouts and don't want an accident oh to be young again

 

I don't bother smoking whole tritips. They get the reverse sear treatment on the Weber and they come out perfect.

 

Wings look great, but man a little skimpy on the fries portion?

What is the brand, make of hot sauce on the right?

Wife baked some burger buns, slow cooked some chicken, and made homemade coleslaw. I topped it with some Stubbs BBQ sauce. I am the luckiest man alive

 

Cherry wood smoked baby back ribs, spam baked beans, and chicken breasts

 

I saw @Cold Iron in another thread recently... always reminds me of him.


Also.. all of that looks delicious AF

 

Ha and I was just thinking it is about time to come see what all I've missed in my favorite thread on TW. Have been holding off because I know how much of a rabbit hole it is for me

Yeah that does look delicious and being hungry doesn't help any either!

Now I want some SPAM and maybe some ABT's

 

Getting ready to do a 9 pound pork tenderloin on the smoker. What’s the best way to do it?

 

HAHA Welcome back! and yeah.. that looks amazing AF too!


Whether or not you agree with it, I made your smoked mac and cheese awhile back with some diced andouille sausage and some crawfish tails.. SO delicious!
