Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Not sure if you meant it or not but that sounds very uhhh. Ya you know.

 

Need some help.

Any thermopro experts?

What’s the circle arrow on the base station under the channel?

Just turned on my

$45 thermopro TP-20 thermopro TP20 500FT wireless meat thermometer with dual meat probe, digital cooking food meat thermometer wireless for smoker BBQ grill thermometer

thermopro TP-20 to test and ensure my probes are working right and reads a correct temp before I cook tomorrow . One probe is reading correct, the other is reading way off. Switched to my back up probes and the same thing.

Never seen the circle arrow before and can’t seem to find a quality answer on the googler.

 

Pooper ain’t the Ronco Set It and Forget It. You still have to tend to it and make sure things are on track. Now I will say it is not as much work but I’ve said it a bunch of times here it’s not the vessel that makes for good or bad food. All of them have their place and I don’t ever foresee a time when I won’t have a pooper in my arsenal.

 

Was intentional. Only a small amount of whiskey thus far

Not gonna lie. I laughed out loud typing it and had to keep it rolling

 

Leaves time to take pics too! Lots of pics!

 

I think we’re going to have to put a remote in smoker camera in there for you.

 

Someone posted a firefighter one prior... Tempted

 

I thought so but wanted to make sure. Nothing wrong with a little pooper play on words.

 

Hmm Eric is a firefighter wonder if he can get one lol.

 

It just set itself up. And got quiet after ...

 

Honestly I don't do chicken at 225°, although do most everything else. I like my chicken skin crispy. Of course assuming it is skin on bone in.

Usually go at 300-325 for chicken skin on. Just did it the other night with thighs for me and split breasts for me. 2.5 hours at ~300 on the grill grates and they were perfect







Like most things cooking it depends. On a lot of factors. Just keep an eye on it until you get it dialed in.

When I was young used to think naps were punishment. Now I think they are a reward. But will not nap while smoking or running any of the grills. Some may say I am brain washed but I sleep better at night with an open eye while smoking or grilling.

And was also the main Engineering Spaces Group Supervisor, propulsion assistant. I don't trust fire of any type, it has a mind of its own.

 

You can cook a Spatchcocked turkey or chicken the oven as well.

Although.. if you get the WiFi one.. you'd never hear the end of those jokes!

 

Happy 4th y'all! May all your various smoked meats do lady liberty justice! Be safe, and cheers! 'MERICA!!!! Thank you to all our service men and women who make this possible!

 

Worth it!

 

They will even eat coots, but are pretty good at fishing



But would rather fight and steal from others than do their own fishing



Still glad that Ben Franklin guy didn't get his way. Turkeys?! I think not..



Although turkeys are better on a spinning spit, or so I have heard.









You really don't want to mess with this. It will cost you...

 

Was shooting Eagles a couple of years ago on the Mississippi and seen some blue in the sky, with smoke. I was about 20 miles away to the North got home and figured out what it was although I had a good idea already. I was damn near 30 before I realized fucking Airdales was 2 words and not one LOL. Seen enough Hornets in my day, but on the next day a Sunday found a bluff above the airport in La Crosse that thought was a good spot. It was.











They will be in Duluth in a couple of weeks. And so will I. But for the Duluth Double Gun Shoot.

I’m just the same way with the Bradley smokers. I don’t want to have to go out looking for a specific thing to be able to smoke something like the pellets or pucks with the Bradley’s. I can get charcoal anywhere and it’s easy to find smoking chunks. I don’t want to have to make a 20 minute trip to get stuff to smoke some meat.

How do they really do though? I notice most sell a searing box to use with them. I’m assuming that’s when you use them to grill? I’ve never been around one so don’t know much more than I’ve seen online with people using them.
