Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Agreed, put something on there to help with seasoning it. All that stuff helps. Some people add a bit of fat scraps from whatever to help season it quicker. The more you use that thing, the better it will get. That's what she said

 

ill throw in some bacon in there

 

Needs meat to figure out what the temp will be with the meat on!!

 

Target has them and you can find them for nothing on clearance at the end of summer.

 

You don't say

 

It is a must have with using charcoal baskets or rails on each side. And yes does work with the S&S which I also have.

Gogle "minion method weber kettle". In general on my kettle I leave the bottom vents somewhere just shy of half way open. And control temps with the top vent. It takes time for changes to kick in be patient. Your doing fine.

Stopped at the store to pick up a brisket to smoke this weekend. And something followed me home....

Can call it Viking Ribeye, bludgeon of beef, meat on a stick I call it a foodgasm when done.



I even did some of that green stuff that food eats right before it came up to temp. Romaine hearts with EV Olive oil and Chicago steak seasoning.

 

Be patient looking for changes after adjusting vents... great point. I remember fckng around endlessly with the vents until I realized that I was chasing my tail and this shit takes time. You're dealing with caveman tech, not an app.

Was a decent dinner tonite

 

That's a pretty cool way to eat ribeye. Finger food ftw

 

Pork shoulder and a couple chickens going on. Crutch em with some foil in a few hours to get through the night. Take the chickens off in the morn, leave the pig, and on with some beef ribs!

 

Got one for tomorrow's smoke

Might as well do surf and turf so purchased a few pounds of live crawfish

 

So going to get setup for round two of playing w coals and a meatless weber

 

I'm smoking 8 pork shoulders right now.





My son is receiving his Eagle award and a rare Hornaday Conservation award tomorrow. I'm cooking pulled pork BBQ for 80 people, lol.

 

Lawdy. Good luck

 

wow nice price on brisket! wish it was that cheap here...

Nice...I love morel mushrooms

 

Proprietary rub and Carolina sauce. Gonna be good.

 

I picked up two butts today (about 14 lbs total). Going to do those and a flat tomorrow. Going to freeze most of it, minus two or three meals worth for the week and what I give to the in-laws.
