Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

I just found one for $150 but its too far to be worth it...

 

Holy crap!! I would be all over that. Catering family backyard parties would be cool.

 

Yeah, I'm tempted, its about 10 miles from my house. Already have too much shit though, saving up. My next will be a Primo Oval XL.

 

Buy it, keep 1, sell the other and the cart for $200. You now just bought youself a nicely modified 18 for $100.

 

Nice. Wish I could afford to buy things right now. Santa Clarita is a bit of a drive for me still. If I was still with my ex I'd be up there every weekend and could get it

 

I only use the water pan if I'm doing an overnight smoke and don't want the temp to fluctuate and cause the temp sensor alarm to go off constantly.

 

I have no idea if I just bought some snake oil, but I am gonna give this Himalayan pink salt from Costco a try.

Walmart smoker and grill clearance

Got my 5 20lb bag weber natural briquettes @$5.98 each

 

That is one hell of a deal, and she looks super cute as well. Too bad it is probably gone since it has been a week since it was posted.

 

When searching only for Weber: https://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/d/toyota-land-cruiser-fj/6237571168.html

 

I message last Sunday. No reply Yup she's cute hahaha

 

Them Texas woman give CA a run for its money.

 

Yep although I purchased a second heat shield for mine. Cook on a wooden deck and want that heat shield! Gives a lot more room for coals that way and easier to reload if you need to.



It is pretty thin and been looking for something a bit heavier duty. Couple of weeks ago discovered the lid for the water bowl and it will replace the heat shield. Some day. I never cook with water maybe with a brisket, maybe.

I've used mineral salt for years. First it was Dead Sea salt, then black Hawaiian salt, etc. Lot less Sodium than table salt. And use Kosher salt for brine's and cures. The mineral salts IME don't take heat well and I normally use them on salads etc. and meats after cooking.

 

Thanks to whoever it was that posted about Weber briquettes on clearance at Target several pages back. One of my local Target's had 10 bags and I picked up 5 for $32.

 

Check Home Depot and Lowe's outside in the grill grave yard. My BIL found an 18.5" Weber Smoker for $134, only things missing were the cover and the heat shield. Called Weber and said they weren't in the box and they sent him the parts.
