Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Mexican style pulled pork going on. Plan to follow meat church's directions to a T. More pics tomorrow.

 

Never heard of that, what a fantastic idea though. Nice.

 

Someone here recently made it and recommended it. Can't wait for tomorrow to eat it lol.

Showed my wife, she now wants it even more than I do.

 

Yes!

edit to add: with the final dusting he recommends, don’t go too heavy too quick. The seasoning is salty and can overpower it

The last few butts I’ve done are this way, my wife prefers it too

 

Chicken on the rectec last night in prep for a Buffalo chicken dip today for the in-laws. I love my easy bake oven!

 

The smell that this seasoning and cholula produce in the smoker is fantastic! Never smelled anything so delightful.

@AugustaTaco I'll take your advice. I packed the seasoning on well in the beginning, and also added a pinche when wrapping. Probably have enough.

Wrapped up and braising now:

 

Ho lee chit. Best tacos I've ever had. And I live in SoCal where tacos are abundant.

Tacos have:
- Meat Church Mexican pulled pork
- Finely chopped onion
- Avacado
- Fresh cilantro
- Mexican Cotija cheese
- White corn tortillas warmed up
- Fresh lime squeezed
- Avacado lime sauce/dressing

 

Overnight brisket. Turned out great. Purposely bought a small one and did a heavy trim (smoked trimmings for chili at some point). Might not go quite as small next time, skinny end of the flat was a bit dry…still tender though

 

Looks on point!

 

Getting close! One for eating and the other for making gnocchi soup.

 

Looks great! Looking forward to hearing about this soup too!!

 

Similar to this but skipping all the cheese and going with cream of celery and cream of chicken.

Woke up- Fell outta bed- Dragged a comb across my head.

 

Did you use BBQ seasoning on your ice?

 

Soup got a two thumbs up from my wife. Kids could care less but I’m curious to see what the little bums cook themselves when they’re on their own.

My parents butchered food and I attribute that to my desire to cook tasty meals. My oldest is 14 so we’ll see!

Try smoking some water and making smoked ice cubes.

 

Ok boys. Per the recommendation here. Doing pork tenderloin. 2.5 lbs.

Apple juice, brn sugar, honey marinade for 4 hours. Rubbed with meat church honey hog. About to throw it on the pit boss. Will post a Pic when done.

 

Yes done that! I cold smoked a bottle of Casadores Repo. Poured it in an aluminum pan and smoke tube with oak pellets 1/2 hour.
