Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Made some loin chops. Butterflied, brined, smoked. Tasty….still dry-ish. I think I just prefer some skillet fried chops! ​

 

This looks amazing

 

Thank you

 

I have the day off from work so I’m nursing a coffee and smoking a brisket

 

Very interested to hear how well that works. Keep us posted!

Ew swamp bugs.

 

I have plans to smoke ribs next Friday using it, however it might not be installed by then. There are 3 special clips needed to install it on a 26" kettle, but Amazon doesn't sell those, so I ordered them directly from the manufacturer. It's been a few days and they still haven't shipped. Their shipper is the USPS and it's coming from Georgia. I imagine when it finally does ship, it will take a grand tour around the country a few times before I get it, as the US postal service does it.

 

11pm here. Just threw on a 9 LB pork shoulder. Issa going down @1buzzbait.

 

Just now wrapped it at 180 degrees.

I just ordered a roasting rack like this below. So next time the meat won't be sitting in it's own juices.

 

So.. dumb question.. but what's wrong with the racks of your smoker?

 

Successful brisket breakfast taco pop up during our neighborhood garage sale!

This is ‘the works’ - homemade cassava flour tortilla, brisket chop, egg, bacon, fajita veggies, Colby Jack, green onions

Fermented habanero + orange and fermented smokey adobo sauces

 

Dang! Looks great!

 

Merrrcy...

 

Pork burnt ends done soo good

 

I will definitely be trying that as well. With a pan underneath.

The main reason I like them in a pan is easy to move out for wrapping, etc. Doesn't stick to the rack. I've had the meats stick to the rack .and they tear apart as I'm trying to remove them.

 

I have one like that. For all that is good and holy, line it with foil when you use it. If everything in the universe has a complete opposite, a non-stick pan is the opposite of that one.

 

Looks dam good I've been wanting to try making those for a while.

 

Super easy worth it on every.level

 

On this day, May 18, 2024, I have perfected the smoked meatloaf. 250 for 6 hours.

 

Yea, I have the same combo grill. It's my second one and I can say the first one held up better. Although that one didn't take two trips off the back patio by the wind

It sits kind of crooked and I really need to weld it back solid. However the gas side is kinda getting crusty so not sure if I want to spend the time on it.

 

Santa Maria Tri Tip Sandwich for dinner.
