Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Fat is flavor!

 

Take me to flavor country.

 

I let mine age at least three weeks. it really mellows out the longer you rest it.

 

Loin & Flavor = Canadian bacon. Scoring the surface and drenching it in Grade B Maple Syrup before you smoke it helps.



And of course all the pork belly you can lay your hands on.

Huntspoint Gold Wagyu Brisket

 

Sounds impressive, but I'd have such a hard time paying $10/lb for brisket.

...spoiled here in TX I guess...

 

@Cold Iron great wing advice. They went great last night! Garlic Parmesan, honey bbq, mildish buffalo.

 

So this just popped up on Kijiji......and I was supposed to be leaving town at noon. We'll see what happens.

 

Be nice to try, but I think I'd have a hard time convincing the purse-holder that $150 for a brisket is anything close to a good idea.

 

Looks great from here! Well done

 

me staring at the link....

 

I suspect your purse-holder can see the value of $100 for a big thing.

 

I had a thought the other day when I was cooking some chicken breast. I know this probably wouldn't be ideal but was wondering if I would get some benefit from doing this. I have a Char-griller with the side smoker box. If I'm using the side smoker box, could I raise the grate that holds the charcoal in the main cooking area to the highest position in hopes that the smoke from the firebox wouldn't just go straight to the top and out the smoke stack? I guess it would be used kind of like a tuning plate?

 

lemme see if I can dig up a pic. flip the charcoal try over and then up on top setting. That's how I used mine for the longest time. I'll see if I can find it.

 

self explanatory, but pic anyway. I also wedged a wood piece on the left side to force the gap on the right side closed more. and I kept my water pan at that point, like in pic. Had much success with that "mod" along with dryer vent mod and making a charcoal basket.

 

I never bought a brisket in texas.... we always found some place to eat BBQ...

 

Thanks for the pic! I've been wanting to make a charcoal basket but I can't find any expanded metal like that. Our local Lowes doesn't carry it in stock and we don't have a Home Depot close by so I'm still trying to figure that out. So you have the piece of wood under the water pan?

 

are they next to the prime briskets or hidden somewhere?

 

I just checked on Lowes' website and they have one of this on below. Would this be big enough to make a basket?
