Quick question. Got a turkey breast I need to smoke. How long and what temp about? I don't want to be up all night either. We're talking in gonna take a nap then put it on kinda cooking.

 

I’d say do 250 until it hits at least 165-170. Shouldn’t take more than a few hours.

 

Thanks!!

Why is your name a W now?

 

Keeping it fresh!! I’m hiding from my TWSS recipient.

How’d the bird turn out?

 

Seasoning suggestions for burnt ends ? I have no bodies rub

 

I see you said seasoning suggestions, so this may not be helpful for that, but is a good recipe.

I’d use brown sugar and/or honey as the main, then add bits of whatever else: salt, pepper, garlic, onion, chili, etc.

I just woke up from my nap. About to light the coals. Lol

 

About time!

 

Hard to do pork belly burnt ends wrong, they always turn out great!

I first cube them and toss with EVOO and some salt and pepper


Then I will coat liberally and toss with Meatheads Memphis Dust


And smoke at 225* for 3-4 hours until a good bark forms


At that point I put them in a disposable pan and apply butter, honey and maple sugar. Brown sugar works if you don't have any maple sugar on hand. But Maple Sugar takes them over the top.


Put them back on covered with foil for an hour or so stirring once in a while. Then remove the foil and let them cook another hour or 2 and start to get sticky.


Works for me. Going to do this for our annual pot luck at work in a couple of weeks. Except will finish the braise part in a crockpot at work.

 

I know.

Slathered up with rub.





And on the smoker.





Now we wait.

 

Yes, that is Pitfaced rub on that bird.

Nice thin smoke too.

 

Did you do the mods for the smoker?

 

I have the dryer hose mod done but other than that it's been fine with everything else.

 

Did you seal it when you put it together?

 

I sealed the firebox but not the smoker area.

 

I put nomex on the lid, other than that, nothing to the smoker area.
