Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Trimmed the brisket up this evening following Aaron Franklin’s video guidance. That guy made it look way easier than I did....

 

Must be that camera magic

 

Morning fellas. Smoke is rolling, first attempt at brisket is underway. It was a brisk 36F at 5:30 am.

 

Thanks Scott! Still early, shouldn’t be too hard to maintain social distancing at the store and find something to throw on the smoker today for ya’..

 

Hello all. Some entries for the cook off happening today?!?!

 

Phone keeps turning images sideways oh well.

smoke one is underway. Smoke two begins now in about an hour or so. One rack will be smoked the whole time. Other rack is going to pull off and do in instant pot for about 30 minutes to push through the stall. New method haven’t tried it before. It’s for the contest.

when the next rack goes on I’m also doing some snausages too.

 

Get more contest cooks in y'all!!!!

If you're already cooking, toss a beverage in a plated pic. Spritz with some bourbon. Pair with a nice Wine. Free to enter and fun way to take your mind off of stuff

 

There are prizes to be had but like TV ads have told us. If you don’t enter you can’t win.

 

Im working

 

I’m doing mine now!

the rack on the right is for the contest it went on a few hours later than the one on the left. Goal is to instant pot it through the stall ish timeframe with down East cider. Sausages are just for fun. Never done ribs this way but I’ve read about it a few times. The risky part is that I have to cut them up before they go into the instant pot.

 

Dry rub sticky ribs with home made bourbon barbecue sauce.

(Will finish ribs off by topping with a few coats of sauce)

Nice day to top it off,
Have a great day everyone

 

This is still my favorite thread on TW!

 

Enjoying that same smoker myself

 

I have cooked on all kinds of grills, smokers & barbecues.

I was pretty reluctant to switch to a pellet cooker but so far it seems to be great & it is very predictable. (Very nice to have if I am juggling multiple things in the kitchen)

 

So cut back on the whiskey maybe

All weekend?

 

Just today, just in time for the Easter storm to roll in tomorrow

 

Supposed to get gnarly here tonight too

 

Our high temp tomorrow is suppose to be 32, they are saying that will be at 12:01am

 

Good ole tri tip. Never lets ya down!

 

Done! Turned out pretty good.
