Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Great colors in that photo!

 

Totally 'shopped. Nobody has a grill that big! Or skies that blue! Or grass cut that neat!

 

Been awhile since I tried beef ribs

Looks good so far!

 

I got a 22 inch WSM for father's day. Any recommendations for a first go?

 

It's incredibly difficult to screw up a pork shouler/butt.

What's your smoking experience?

 

I have cooked multiple items on modified char grill from chicken, rib racks, brisket and turkey.


I have cooked basically all slow cuts on a weber kettle with a SnS DIY style setup including pork butt, turkey, brisket, pork shoulder, whole chicken, Chuck Roast, and salmon.

 

Well then. Turducken it is!

 

Hot dogs!

 

Sounds like you just need to flip a coin and pick something to experiment with ok the new set up! Good luck and don't forget to post pictures!

 

Cook something with a higher fat content to help season and seal up your WSM. A bunch of whole fryer chickens or a couple of pork buts. It's going to run hot for a few cooks.

 

I seasoned my WSM with bacon for the first couple of cooks. Worked out pretty well.

 

P .

The WSM is not enameled like the Kettle?

 

Yes it is porcelain.

 

Can you say kebabs

 

Heck yeah! Can eat them sum beaches, too!

 

It's one of those things where it's good to have options. A horses for courses thing. If you have a 16# brisket, nothing beats smoking, if you have a heavy porterhouse or ribeye, oh man that grill would make it sing.

 

Got my WSM assembled and ready to go.

MY 2 weber kettles. One recent premium model. one early 00's weber kettle (maybe 1990s)

The smokey joe is a 1977 that I bought in a sealed box. I felt that I should not have opened it, but it wasn't worth that much as a collectable.

 

I've just realized that there's no actual Grilling Thread.. I might have to do something about that.. anyways.. working on my grilling marks with some Spicy Miso Chicken Breasts and some Char Siu Chicken Breasts.
