Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

I have a small pork shoulder on electric smoker@230degree, should be done by dinner time Im smoking with apple chips and added a little liquid smoke to the rub with about a cup of apple juice to baste itself.

 

They are hollow. The wife is pretty adamant that I don't eat them. lol

 

Those look like the morels...heres a guide explains the differences. Morels are really good eating.

My one friend is an avid mushroom hunter. I still won't eat them, or any mushroom for that matter.

 

Morels are the only ones I know for sure. others I dont know as well and dont want to chance it.

 

oh you can dehydrate them and save them for a later date as well. I have about a half of a mason jar full from couple years back, we had a good season. Last year was a low yield year so we only had a handful of fresh.

 

I not that into any mushrooms, store bought or wild.

 

my buddy loved them as well. Hunts them like it's his job. Knows all the varieties and where and when to find them.

 

so what sayeth all any disdain for electric smokers?

 

they grow out of poop so.... but yeah I dont know anyone that knows about other types of wild shrooms. I surely dont want to get sick or die but I know the morels quite well so even with them if Im skeptical about one I just toss it. Because usually there are plenty more around so its not like losing one or two would hurt anything.

 

Morel hunting is huge here. Trespassers everywhere this time of year - they can justify it in their heads I guess, since they're just taking mushrooms.

Found these on public land last year. Haven't been this year - too busy fishing and hunting the weekends.

 

Nice! I like them in in spaghetti sauce...my mom used to make them in just a tomato sauce with some onions and sauted. That was some good eating.

 

Stall was taking forever! Wrapped them and put it all in the oven at 300.

 

I dont think its going to get the bark I would like but hopefully this shoulder should be good eating. I have a few more hours left on it.

 

Maple fatty rubbed in cayenne, Chipotle chili powder, and paprika. I've never done one this way.

 

Not smoked.....but trying some braised brisket tacos tonight. Saw it on triple D and found a copycat recipe.

 

I think I saw that episode. Let us know how it turns out.

 

@ramonortiz55 , was it edible?

 

Holy crap this was my best one ever. Maple Jimmy Dean sausage coated in cayenne, chipotle, and paprika.

 

What temp did you take it to?
