Dunno if this was mentioned or not, but possibly take part of what you make off this venture (or all of it if you really don't need it) and maybe invest in a bigger smoker. Even if this guy is hiring you only 2 or 3 times a year it still would make it worth it to have something with a bit more...
How long'd those burgers take to cook? They look about medium. And I'm guessing they were maybe half a pound each? What wood did you smoke them with?
I'm having some family down this weekend and planned on just grilling some burgers but I might smoke'em if I can do it with relatively low...
Tex, where do you find Best Choice Lump? I don't see it at my Walmart but I don't think that I would since Walmart has their own private label brand (Great Value). I'm not sure, but I think Best Choice is usually distributed at Affiliated Foods stores. Please let me know, I'd love to pay...
Welp, I just looked at the new ad tomorrow for Fareway and they have the same price on the Bone-In Pork loin. How long is the bone typically on those? I've only bought the little rolls of boneless pork loin before, and I can't eat 20lb in one sitting and it's a little more than I'd like to...
WD I've never actually been to a Fareway, I usually just price match whatever is in their ad I see in the Sunday Omaha World Herald. I might stop there tonight.
As for the ribs, yah, I didn't know the name for the spare ribs. I think I'll hold out for cheap spares.
I looked at Fareway's Ad in Omaha, and don't see anything about a Pork Loin, but they do have BB Ribs for 2.99/lb, is that pretty good? If so I might stop there tonight and pick up a few. What's the main difference between your normal pork ribs and the BB ribs?
I have a similar smoker (link in my signature) and I use about a chimney and a half of either lump or briquettes and I can get a little over 250.
I would check your seals between your fire box and any other places for heat to escape. And your temp guage could be off also. I smoked last weekend...
There is a guy in West Omaha, Dick's Meats, I hear his meat is fantastic but jesus it is not just a few cents more, it's dollars more. Like for a 1.25# of brats @ Walmart it's $3 and there it's around $5.
Now I love good meat, but I can't afford that stuff AND my mortgage. Might have to...
Well the main cavity is big enough that I could just put the fire under the meat, but I always thought that was bad because it would cook the meat too fast. What if I put the fire off to the left side of my smoke box (near the hole to the firebox) and put the meat on the right side.
And 20...
Thanks guys, I just did too much drinking the night before to get up early and start smoking. I didn't get it on the fire until about 10:30am and took iti off at about 5pm. When the weather starts getting nicer I'll be able to get up at 6 or 7am to start the smoke so it will be possible to...
Oh, I put some brats on for about an hour. I have an offset smoker and I put a pie pan of water just after the opening of on the smoker side and the pork on the far side of the smoker just under the chimney. My brats where about in the middle and there was a considerable amount of ash on them...
Saturday I smoked a 5# butt and it turned out ok, I don't think I used enough smoke cause there really wasn't much smoke flavor in the meat. I went through a 10# bag of Royal Oak lump charcoal (which seams a little ridiculous) and about half of an 8.4# bag of Hickory. I don't know if the...
Yah, of all the fatties I've seen I think that's probably the best one and I'll have to give that a shot for my next smoke. Also, do the peppers get milder or hotter when you smoke them? I'd love to try that but I think I'm the only one who'd be eating them cause my wife doesn't like real hot...
I got a 5# butt on too. Last night I covered it in yellow mustard, which I heard is good, and added some pork seasoning.
It got up to 220 pretty good and amazing it's been hovering just above 200 quite easily. I'm using Royal Oak lumps and haven't gone through a whole lot of charcoal yet after...
