bvbull200's Gravity Fed Cabinet Smoker Build Thread - Under the Tutelage of Maner

nice looking cutting board

 

@bvbull200 I don't know why I can never see your photos on the work computer but it seems we were both rolling pork bellies this weekend LOL completely different styles and and cooking methods though! I ended up using mine in some home made ramen ( https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/foodies-bs-thread.151840/page-732#post-22554102 ) following this recipe ( https://www.justonecookbook.com/homemade-chashu/ ) but I have to tell ya.. yours definitely has a better looking appearance!! (I had to check my phone on break to see what people were talking about)

3000 PBBEs?!?! That's a lot of happy voters at the next competition!!

 

I host the images on imgur for posting here. I am updating this build in a couple of other places and by wrapping an imgur link in tags, I can copy/paste.

The funny thing is, I'm like you in that I can't see the pictures from my work computer which is where I do most of my TW browsing .

The belly turned out very good, but I can do better. Maner has a good idea that he's going to try. I'm going to tinker with the recipe as well.

That ramen you made looks DAMN good! I don't really make ramen unless it is a $0.10 pack of noodles, but I'm inspired to try!

 

I'd never considered making it either until I saw the recipe for the Chashu was made from a pork belly. Then I had to get get some education on Sake and another lesson on noodles.. so for me it was a total learning process... and the best part is that all the little additions can be whatever you want. I don't think a pork belly rubbed with On Point would go well with the other flavor profiles in the dish, but the recipe I followed made it fit right in! After I sliced it the next day and right before I added it to the bowl, I heated it up and and caramelized it with a torch which lent a hint to the smoking world we are all so fond of.

Also.. my apologies for hijacking your build thread again LOL

 

You are Killing me with all these Food Pic's

 

Not a hijack at all! It's all in the same spirit, so no bother to me. I posted the first non-build pics anyways .

As you well know, it isn't uncommon to eat good out at Maner's. That or some greasy burgers and fries .

 

I’m scheming on the pork belly experiment now. Got to get me some supplies from H-E-B tomorrow.

 

This is gonna be good!

 

Pork belly Wellington.

 

Pork Bellington.

 

Gonna need to put Gross & Tare stickers on that Rascal after its painted just to keep ‘er legal.

 

There is a serial plate in design right now for @Kanyon71 to laser beam for me.

 

We gotta figure out a way to get that sucker weighed. I'd love to get an accurate reading on it with all racks installed.

By the way, I'll text you, but I talked with the wife last night and I think I'm going to look in to doing the other trailer option we talked about yesterday.

 

May have to smoke the belly for a little while first but damn would that be good with a nice pork and mushroom gravy to ladle over the sauces.

 

Sounds great. We can pull it up to the shop and get started on it.

 

Sounds like more cutting, welding and grinding! .. Then you're going to have to learn about vinyl wrapping a vehicle so that the truck matches the smoker/trailer. Easily another 40 pages of posts/pictures and poking fun!

 

We starting on his truck soon

 

Subbed!

 

If it’s gettin’ wrapped, how long will the stall be?
