Your probably ok since you waited 30 minutes and washed the grates but with an electric smoker, as with any smoker you want to season it. I usually heat it up after spraying with a high heat oil like vegetable or peanut oil and let it cook for 2 to 3 hours to burn off any manufacturing oils and...
You should definitely check it and calibrate it. Try the boiling water test and then a cup of water with ice. Should read 212 for boiling water because water boils at 212 and no more or no less and the ice w as ter should be 32 plus or minus a degree or 2. I don't use a thermopro but that's a...
I smoke many things in pans and when I do say a pork butt, I like to put a pan underneath it and put the butt on the rack. The pan catches the drippings for some great au jus. But to answer your question I believe you could put anything in the pan with your tenderloin and it would smoke well and...
It was so delicious. I cut into it right away and realized that I should have contained myself a bit more and waited about 10 minutes so the cheese could congeal a bit and not run out.
Crazy moon, what is a good liquid to put in the foil or spray them with when I wrap them up? Was thinking apple juice or apple cider vinegar. Suggestions please
Got 2 racks of spare ribs. Trimmed off the excess fat and removed the membrane from the back and seasoned them with a sweet spicy bbq rub both sides and left in refrigerator overnight now going to smoke using the 3-3-1 method I heard works well for spare ribs. Any suggestions I'm about to throw...
I made a monster fatty using 3 pounds ground beef and a pound of cheese mixture or Colby jack and cheddar. Wrapped it up in a bacon weave(my wife did the weave, I'm not too artistic) seasoned it up with rub some burger seasoning inside and out. Love that seasoning on my burgers on the grill. And...
I understand this much better now. Thank you. Now as far as cold smoking meat since your not cooking it, what keeps it from spoiling since it is being smoked in the danger zone?
Tallbm, thank you. Yes your information was very helpful. I do have a dual probe thermometer that I have been using for my offset. It's nice to know there are models with more than 2 probes, as that would be useful since it has 4 racks. I did realize that the meat probe was off by about 8...
Thanks for the replies. Yes the chicken was good, little dry in spots and juicy in others. But I did over do it with the cayenne pepper. Good for me but too spicy for the family. I love chicken but will do other meats. I h as ve done pork loins and tenderloins, pork butts and chuck tender roasts...
My wife bought me a new mes140 for Christmas so of course I had to test it out. So all I had in the fridge was the chicken breasts. So I brined them about 1hour and a half in salt and pepper. Then seasoned them with McCormick Montreal chicken and I added black pepper cayenne and garlic powder...
I have a Chevy offset smoker that I been using for a year and a half or so. But dont get as much time to smoke on it as I like. Dont have the time to stoke the fires anymore. Was looking for something that is set and forgot for the most part but will impart good smoky flavor that I love from my...
Any suggestions for improvement in the future would be helpful. First time doing this recipe. Just pulled it out of my hat as I went along. Used rub some chicken as the seasoning inside and out.
