Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Green Mountain offers 20lb bags 20 a piece, but if you buy 3 its 45. I have the fruit blend and really like the flavor. If you want more smoke just set you poopers to the lowest setting for a hour and then run to desired temp.

 

I'm all about the LumberJack brand, been good to me since I started using them.

 

Scored a sweet deal today. Went to the grocery store to get some 1.97 a lb untrimmed brisket. Well they didn't have any good ones left. I asked the meat guy if they have more and he said he couldn't find anymore in the back. But he found a lot of trimmed briskets, and he re priced them at 1.97 a lb for me..i bought 3 of them bad boys

 

Definite score

 

morning folks,, so i had a smokey mountain series propane smoker given to me the other day, it was in ruff shape. after spending a couple hours last night cleaning sanding and painting with some high heat rattle cans, its lookin half way decent, i already own a WSM 18.5 which i love. (never used a propane smoker) did some research apparently they were bought out by landman usa, anyway i found a parts list, ordered a new burning assy and igniter for a whopping 60 bucks and hopefully ill have myself a second smoker ina week or so. pics to come wen finished

 

nope. saw good looking briskets somewhere and was appalled by how expensive they were...

 

I don't think ive looked at wally world yet.

 

yea, im pretty sure Im going to try the high heat brisket this weekend. As long as the weather cooperates. Looks like we have a good amount of rain coming this way

 

$40 for a 12lb brisket?
I can get two nice packers here for that price. Im telling you, you guys need to make a road trip to Austin and take a bed full of brisket back to SC

 

id help with that endeavor. yea $40 is too rich for my blood haha

 

for a price muahaha

 

that's 4cents profit per lb. not bad, not bad

 

I was at Costco this week and they had nice briskets for $2.45/lb, not a bad price for around here.

 

yea that's not terrible at all. I could definitely swing that meat.

 

Just saw this and it made my mouth water!

I actually sent my wife a text with that recipe about an hour ago telling her we need to pick up a turkey breast and make this in the next couple of weeks. We are already planning a trip to the cider mill here so we can get some good fresh apple cider for this while there.

 

New York strip, mac & cheese, and sautéed mushrooms?

 

I hope they're spicy enough.

 

I'd be ready for a nap after that meal
