Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

I keep seeing those pop up from time to time. I don't know much about them. Looks like maybe a cheaper PBC?

I had a line on a 14" WSM for $25. Guy gave me a time to meet, but I was taking my daughter to the Mavs home opener. Sold it the next day (don't blame him). Damn.

 

14” cook surface. I said fuck it and bought it.

As I read this in my head, the voice changed from mine to Morgan Freeman's. That's how awesome this is.

And in other news:
I was at TSC today looking at - well - everything and I saw a smoker on cleaance for $110 - I left it there...This time.

Research has shown the unit to be quite capable and robust - Add a control unit and for $250 +/- you're on par with a WSM 22"

 

post what I sent you. Too many beers so far to type a lot

 

prepped some St Louis style & Beef short ribs foro tomorrow - will prep the bird tomorrow, not sure if it's beer can style or not...The ladies don't like smoked bird so it will be on the gasser.

And I'm still thinking about the smoker I left behind...

 

Wow. A thought occurred to me while reading your post... is it “ok” to do that, morally or whatever. Not that I wouldn’t have done exactly what you did if it happened at the store I go to all the time - I guess I would figure they’ve more than made their dime off me.

Yea that one looks good . This is the pipikaula that to me is what the original one is. the short rib one lot of restaurants use thinking because the short ribs cheaper than the flank steaks

Also different type of poki (raw fish) and pupus (appertizers)

 

Haha yeah da pidgin come out sometimes. Yeah I need some legit Kine pipikaula. I was craving oxtail soup yesterday so I had to make some lol!
