I have done the cook til done and reheat many times. If your gonna fire up the smoker, may as well pretty much finish them off. Then toss em in the oven til they're warm enough to eat. Less to fool with on eating day.
**DISCLAIMER** I ain't no expert:
But..., the lighter colored wood is maple, and it is spalted. This is a very desirable trait for guitars since it stains well and makes a gorgeous finish. Hence the reason I recognize it easily. Can't attest to the darker wood, but looks like hickory to me...
I have done this many times depending on when I am planning to eat it.
Typically, I remove from the paper and let it vent for 5 mins, then wrap in foil.
Good question. I’m going to sneak in some smaller 1/2 splits on my next cook and see what happens. Mailnly I don’t want them to smolder. These were hissing and smoldering, essentially not fully igniting. Plus they feel heavy. I’m figuring on a couple or so months and they will be ready.
looks good to me. I finish my briskies in the oven when I do them on my stick burner. No need to senselessly tend and stick burner once the meat is wrapped (read:lazy). I will start my packers around 5-6 pm and stick burn em till around midnight then into the oven all wrapped and cozy. Then off...
I have tray and expandable tube from A-maze-n. The maze is great for dust. The expandable tube puts out a good bit of smoke with the pellets. I use it for hot smokes to augment my pellet smoker. Both work great.
I use tomato paste for the base.
-Basically, about 1/2 to 2/3 of one of those small cans of tomato paste.
-about a cup or more of water
-start with 1/3 cup of dark brown sugar
-start with 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar
-tablespoon of garlic and onion powder
-pinch of chili powder and cumin...
I hadn't used the stick burner in quite a while and I think it was getting jealous. She is just a cheapo Old Country Pecos, but as long as it is not too cold I can get good Q out of it.
Aside from some wood issues in the beginning, it went pretty well. Seems I get some wood that is still a bit...
OK.Got it. FWIW- I can get this at Academy anytime. Still not not having a good source where you buy it by the cord and have it delivered and stacked but better that chunks.
DustyJoe,
What kinda smoker are you using? You refer to bags of chunks in you OP then start talking about splits as the thread progresses.
When you say a bag of chunks I’m thinking about a charcoal smoker like a WSM or similar and when you talk about using splits I am thinking offset stick...
It’s a tad high but not ridiculous. I assume you are using as flavor wood in a charcoal or electric or gas smoker. That amount lasts me quite a while, say 10 or more smokes (just a guess as I haven’t counted how many smokes I get out of a bag of chunks).
If you are using a stick burner you...
Al, do an interweb search and you will see all kindsa stuff. Even the non dry roux in the jar will work.
I have only used Kary’s ( Both dry and wet but prefer dry), Tony’s and I used the Rajun Cajun a time or two. I think the Kary’s Works the best, Particularly for gumbo. Tonys works fairly...
