Other than the pepper (I'm not a fan of black pepper) both the originbal tri tip and the tacos look great! I never think to do tacos with leftover tri-tip; only pulled pork (carnitas) or chicken.
I need to remember that option for leftovers.
So far so good...three hours in. Been spritzing hourly with my Gentleman Jack, apple juice, apple cider vinegar spritz.
This was them before I put them on. Not very meaty in my opinion.
The brisket is at 167 so I think everything will come off pretty close together. I have baked beans going...
Welcome fellow Irish!!
In theory, it wasn't nearly enough time for that shoulder, but your results speak for themselves, it looks yummy.
Keep on practicing and you will get to know your smoker and how it handles each smoke. Congrats on your maiden "voyage"!
That was my first smoker and I still love it! It has now been retired as a herb garden, but it produced some mighty amazing Q!
Welcome and can't wait to see some of your Q-vue!!
Welcome!
Plenty of good recipes and advice in these forums, also check out Jeff’s 5 day smoking E-Course.
If you haven't ruined any meat yet, you aren't experimenting enough yet!! ;-)
Mesquite can be sharp and bitter if used too much or too strong. It's not as forgiving as some of the milder woods like apple, cherry, and so on.
Trial and error is what makes it fun. Congrats on getting the meat smoked correctly, that's a great first smoke.
