Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Later

 

Good pellets. My local supplier where I also get my sausage supplies no longer is selling Lumber Jack (no idea why) but the guy swore by the brand they have now so I picked up their version of the comp blend from LJ. They are called Smoke Ring Pellets, so fr they are darn good. Did a 4 hour smoke on the sausage yesterday and the flavor is great and for some reason it seemed to use less pellets.

Interesting. Checked out their website and found "Smoke Ring Pellets can be ordered by 1/2 ton or full ton." That's a lot of pellets. Didn't see where they retail them so I checked Amazon. Good news is they carry them, bad is it's not prime so shipping adds $.

I use CookingPellets 100% Hickory, which is Prime so free shipping (on a 40# bag that's good).

I also just noticed they have 100% black cherry. Never heard of that before... interesting.

Ya I saw the 1/2 and 1 Ton of pellets, if @scottalot was into Pellet Poopers that's how he'd order them.

 

I am almost out of pellets so I just placed an order on Amazon for the 40# bag of hickory. Free shipping and it will be here this Sunday. Hard to beat that.

 

Kamado getting fired up for pizza

 

Hmm pizza I like it

 

Wood fired pizza is awesome

 

Reverse searing a ribeye and smoking a stuffed poblano pepper.

The pepper is stuffed with shredded red potato, onion, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, a dusting of Meat Massage, then wrapped in bacon. Almost sear time on the steak!

 

Wrap or not wrap plate short ribs?

 

Those poblanos were awesome. I'm definitely adding them to the rotation. I didn't get a cut picture of them, unfortunately. Plated pics!

 

Wow!!!!

 

Running the newly acquired $60 26” kettle. Prime brisket packer !!





Went ahead and added some corn too

 

Biscuits made on the new grill. They were really good. Next time I'll put them on the top rack so the tops brown up without the bottoms burning like they did this time.

 

Happy traeger days gents smoke it up

 

In case anyone is thinking of getting a weber performer Check your local Home Depot. My Home Depot has two on clearance

 

Liking my kettle!

 

Turned out pretty ok. Cook really fast though, need to dial it in.
