Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Does this pickup line ever work

 

Got this show on the road an hour or so ago. It'll be a little higher heat plus the Texas crutch, so it ought to go quickly.

 

10 pounds of beef ribs into the smoker. C'mon 5 o'clock! Hickory wood.

 

This was a stubborn one. Over 14 hours and the largest pre-trim weight brisket I have smoked 17.4#. I was getting way different readings in different parts while temp probing.

 

Might be burger overload but these are good appetizers...

Wow!

 

Those look great.

 

Every one claims it’s good.. I may have taken a bit drunk...

 

Brisket and belly turned out great! The tenderness on the brisket was amazing. Tried to capture it with a gif.

 

Looking good

 

Didn’t quite get it on the first post...

But looks tasty on the second!

 

Ha ha ha. Fixed.

I’m going to try your pork belly burnt ends recipe in a week or two when the folks from work all get together. Really looking forward to it!

 

Speaking of technology, last week has been hell. A couple of Billion dollars later as of O'Dark thirty this morning all the sites of the #1 ranked Medical Hospital in the US are on the same Electronic Medical Record System. Not only a lot of money over a couple years but a ton of work by a couple thousand people. I have more than my share of it. And more to come especially on Monday.

Work into it has been brutal. Last week caught myself thinking about grabbing a raw hot dog out of the fridge and eating it over the sink. Screw that, even being a bachelor haven't sunk that low. So I nuked that sucker first and wrapped it in smoked cheddar cheese. And dipped it into ketchup, about the only meal I recall eating in the last week

Youngest son took some salmon and shrimp out of the freezer on Thursday and it has been sitting in the fridge since then. He left last night for his girlfriends for the weekend. Not going to throw it away come Monday and should have been sleeping finally, but a celebratory meal was in order. So I did. Sleep will come in a few minutes finally. At least for a couple of hours.

Soaked a cedar plank for a couple of hours while I was working.



Screw it no need to dirty a plate ate off the plank.



Finished, no dirty dishes.



Taps, taps lights out.

 

I never was able to smoke the wings for the fight yesterday. So for football Sunday I have lemon pepper and Memphis style wings going in the smoker... should be ready by game time.

 

Looks like some good football eats to me.

 

Stinkin’ up the neighborhood with some @bvbull200 rub!

 

I never have liked salmon, but that looks damned good!

 

And they are done.. finished on the grill to crisp up the skin.

 

The grill? I love it for $75! Had to sand blast the grate but other than that it’s a great grill/smoker!
