I am having people over tomorrow, and i ordered 8 lbs of beef plate ribs to throw on the smoker. I asked for the cuts to have the full 3 ribs each if possible. It turned out, this was not possible. Each rib is cut separately.
They are huge, but still i was anticipating doing racks and not...
I was thinking of requesting some unique and crowd-impressing cuts, and was wondering if anyone saw any issues, anatomically or culinarily, with the following ideas:
1. entire pork ribs, baby back+spare. I don't think I've ever seen them un-sawed-in-half before. I get that there would be slight...
There are those who call "self-basting" a myth, and say that the primary contribution of the fat cap is protecting the brisket during cooking. I am not advocating for that belief, just saying that it is out there. And yeah, I go to Costo... I think it was $2.99 this time around.
I left on about...
I just did my first ever brisket. I built an upright drum smoker, and have had great success with ribs and pork shoulder.
The brisket was good, but not as transcendentally tender and juicy as i wanted it to be, especially in the flat. I cooked it until the internal temp in the deepest part of...
Does anyone here smoke any sides (vegetables or otherwise) along with their main courses? I am trying to think of sides that would cook well in a smoker and I am drawing a blank.
The big difference with a UDS being that I don't have any access to the fire once I start smoking (without taking the lid off, taking off the meat and the grate, and smoking my eyebrows off).
the top of the probe should be in the part of the meat that is furthest from the bone or edge. My guess is that his first method of taking the temperature is picking up radiant heat from the bone.
Hi. I recently built a UDS, and most of the tutorials i have seen show people using mostly briquettes in the charcoal basket "studded" with large chunks of hardwood (so, mostly charcoal). I did pulled pork on my first smoke, and was not all that impressed by the authenticity of the smoke flavor...
Hi, this is my first non-rollcall post. Thanks already for all the great information I have got off of this forum by lurking.
I have access to some old oil barrels and my brother in law is an experienced cutter and welder. It seems that the Ugly Drum Smoker (UDS) is the most commonly...
I have been lurking here for a couple months. I have a 2 stage plan to first either build a UDS or an offset smoker using 55 gallon drums I have available to me, then later build a reverse flow with something more substantial like an oil or air tank.
I will be starting off by doing some...
