Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

I used beer as foiling juice on a few flats. It wasn't bad at all. I used an IPA. I have never marinated one though.

 

I may have to try doing it soon. I mean BEER.

 

Well I know what I need for my next birthday!

 

Never did a Picanha so if you got tips. GO!! Lol

When I put them on the skewers I’m assuming I cut them against the grain? Kinda hard to tell where the grain is lol

 

@Cold Iron

I remember him cooking picanha before

 

Been MIA on this thread. Need some practice before I do some real BBq lol

 

TACOS! Forgot to put the cilantro and limes in the pic lol

 

Making a trip to Randall’s this weekend

 

I have never been in a Costco, always just had Sams around me but I will see if someone has a card. Good looking out

 

Glazing off 3 racks from today.

 

Trusting y'all have been good on the pics in here... Didn't get any alerts to bust some chops...

Finally had a vacation (stayed at home, had family in town) after ungodly hours past couple weeks.

Managed to snag a couple picks of the only tun with Unicorn I got to do... @bvbull200

Prime Tomahawks for Dad and I. I did Unicorn, S&P for him. Fillet for wife and chicken for stepmom.




Tossed em on at 180* pit temp (oak) for a bit while waiting for charcoal to heat up




Making the 26" look small






Unicorn (Left) and S&P (Right)




pulled at 123* IT for a rest




Managed to take a break from stuffing my face for a pic...


and a fire to round out the night

 

Chicken thighs with homemade Ranch Seasoning (top) and a homemade spicy rub (bottom)

 

Homemade ranch seasoning...Sounds awesome!

 

I posted the link to it that I found online awhile back but here it is again... https://easyfamilyrecipes.com/homemade-ranch-seasoning/
I recommend using granulated onion and granulated garlic instead of the powders... It's less messy.

 

Saved for future use. Thanks!

 

Here's another one you might want to save...been using this for a couple of years..
Homemade Taco Seasoning
https://www.rachelcooks.com/2013/03/25/homemade-taco-seasoning-large-batch/
I use 3 tablespoons for ground beef and 2 tablespoons for ground turkey/chicken/pork.

 

I gotta test out some jerky on my new pellet pooper tomorrow.



3 ways sliced, seasoned/marinated, bagged and ready for the smoker.

 

Fired up the smoker a little earlier and dropped these two chunks on there.



Brisket has "unicorn" rub on it and the pork shoulder has Meat Massage - both rubs getting a go at it today.

The little piece in the foreground is the piece I notched off of the brisket to mark the grain direction.

Unfortunately, I won't be tasting the brisket. That's for a customer. At least I'm making a few bucks off of it . Pork belly burnt ends will be accompanying it as well.

For myself, I'm adding pork belly and spare ribs. Former with Meat Massage, the latter with "unicorn".

And since I'm already up, good morning @Bigdaddy4760 .

 

Good Morning Brian

 

Great start to the day there!


@Bigdaddy4760

Off to do more chores outside. I have a very neglected bar that needs tending to...
