Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Decided to say screw it. There’s only a 40% chance of rain until 1800 today. I had two bags of PF Meat Massage there were itching to be tried.

Also, trying the “just let em cook” method this time instead of 3-2-1. I’m always open to new techniques. We will see how it goes.

 

Sounds and looks delicious. Will definitely give that a try some time.

 

Last barbacoa pic. Made breakfast burritos this morning.

 

Have some pork loin going to cube up, marinate and cook today. And wrap in bacon of course but I am out of thin cut bacon. And don't want the loin to dry out from overcooking. Last month or so keep stumbling over where people boil thick cut bacon for 10 min. then wrap things with it before grilling. Supposed to cook more evenly and faster. But not sure I can bring myself to boil bacon I might make a run to Costco for more thin cut if work ever stops calling me. Be glad for Monday and get off on call this week, only time I'm glad to see Monday come around.

IF I did boil bacon in a pot of water I have plans for that water. There are 4 ears of corn sitting in my kitchen... Bacon infused corn on the cob anyone?

 

You know that can get wet right?

 

To those that have them handy, Rural King has Lumberjack pellets on sale for $4.99 per 20lb bag. My store has sold over six pallets this morning. I got mine for just over four bucks per.

 

Yes after saying “Screw it” I then decided to do a little research. Looks like there’s nothing to worry about except myself and the meat getting wet

 

I googled it and watched a couple videos. I just might try it.

Think I may have to head there.

 

Ya the you part is the big one. I’ve dealt with it MANY times though. Nothing going to stop me from getting some smoked meats.

 

3 hours in. Looking and smelling great!

 

That PF sure puts a good color on them

 

Who’s got a rural king close them them
4.99 for a 20lb lumber jack pellets. I tried to order 7 bags online and shipping was $246

Went to our local Dicks and manager will only sell for $11.

 

Yeah, typical of a local Dick. Guess he won’t price match.

 

Every Dick is different, maybe try another?

 

Sausage stuffed pork loin wrapped with rosemary and peach wood smoke. Double baked stuffed baked taters and 3 bean salad

 

I called Dick’s customer service. They said rural king is “third party” and they got an email from corporate saying they won’t price rural king. Bla bla bla. Best they’ll do is match Atwood’s $8.88 a bag (free shipping if your spend more than $45)

 

What retail store isn’t a third party? Lol

Dick’s gets theirs third party too, but I guess they gotta make a dollar.

Fuck Dicks!
