Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

That rub has salt and celery salt in it.. and if you're brining with salt and have a store bought turkey that's been injected.. it might be a little hard on the taste buds... or your blood pressure! HAHA

 

Barbacoa on.

 

Too much salt is bad? Who knew? LOL. My wife often bitches about food I cook being too salty. Taste good to me, and my BP is 120/80.

 

What time should we be over?

 

8-9 hours!

 

If you’re near East Tennessee, this one’s for sell. Excellent condition, cover, smoking stone, $200

 

Well guys it’s been a while since I have posted or really smoked anything. Weekends have been with the kids for football or soccer and then I started 2 college classes. Been 17 years since I have been in school so working all day then doing school work sucks. I thawed out a pork shoulder and planned on smoking today but then I get hit with my sons football party today. Well I am cooking this pork in my big easy, so I shall see how that works. Don’t know how it will work out but with 5 of them in the freezer I am game.

 

@Austinguy

Getting there

 

Damn. What's the recipe on this beauty?

 

Scrumptious.

 

Ty sir! I’ll get after it!

 

Guallio peppers, onion, vinagar, garlic, cloves, all spice. Blend it up to make a paste and coat the pork the night before.

 

Good day at @Bigdaddy4760 's shop! Got a keg smoker finished out. Just needs powder coating, now.

 

Barbacoa tacos.

 

Meh... I’ve brined a few along the way, not worth my time and effort. YMMV, just not worth it IMO.

 

A turkey from the store that has water and salt added, according to the package, is already brined. Isn't it?

 

I have read and been told more than once that unless your turkey is fresh, brining it is completely unnecessary due to the added liquids at packaging containing what is essentially a brining solution.

I do set it out in the fridge to dry out after thawing though.

 

I have a Rec Tec 700 being delivered tomorrow, and I'm in Leander...
