Booo, Hisss, wrong answer gator nutz.
BUY the stuff, what, it might be all of $5-8? support the legend, he's posted so many tips in his books and recipes, you can't spring the dough?
Buy it and support a smoking god legend, then let the rest of us know how it is.........step up to the plate!
You might do a search on my Buffalo roasts and jerky.
I've never thought of brining beef, or buffalo........don't know what it would do to the natural lean texture of the buffalo.
For my jerky, I do a overnight marinade in Yoshidas teryaki sauce, and have sliced thin 1/4" thick pieces, or made...
Is your upper vent open or closed? I leave mine open ALL the time.
I'll add one maybe 2 wood filler tubes worth of chips or chunks during a smoke. Start with a little, then move up. You want a smoked accent typically, not as you found out a TOO SMOKEY meal.
Just like salt, a little goes a...
With my MES, I noticed the other day (if you remove the wood filler and peer inside, there are two rods that go across the top of the smoker pan, so not only do your wood chunks have to fit inside the filler tube, they also have to be long and skinny to fit through the 2 rods that are about 1.5"...
Richtee Rich, my smoker and BBQ is on my back deck covered kitchen area. (grins)
Heck that is a great recipe, cook it like you want it........you want the guy to come over and light your charcol or turn your propane on for you too?
oh heck just use the wood in your smoker anyways, what's the problem really? With the ant juices, you won't have to pre-soak the wood, and it might lend a nice flavor? (grins)
Really, why not still use the wood?
You could always put the wood in the freezer a log at a time if you just want to...
Nice that Sears is selling a good variety of chipped wood in many flavors, I haven't seen those in my local stores. But still at 150 cu inches per bag at $8 each I'd say thats no bargain, I sell 500 cu inches of alder or maple for $10.
Plus your funds are keeping a fellow SMF member buying...
I've read many pro chefs say "DON'T buy a set of knifes" Just buy the 3 most used knifes for your needs, and buy quality. How often do you really use each knife that comes in a 7-9 piece set? We all use the one or two knifes that fit our needs all the time, the rest typically just sit there...
Great post really, I have the same problem with Injectors getting clogged up with seeds or dill.
With a sprayer, maybe get some fine stainless steel mesh like a faucet screen and tie-wrap it around the sprayer bottom intake?
Anyone got tips on Injectors? Sorta the same question.
I say thats a pretty good deal really, all you can find at a retail store is the sawdust chips, typically $5 for maybe a 2-3 pound bag. If you want chunks, you have to find another source, like me.
Even I sell Alder and Maple chunks for $10 for ~10 pounds (see my post under SMF classifieds)...
you really have to watch a beer can chicken on a BBQ, yup done them many times..........for a 1+ hour long BBQ, the fat really starts to rain down from the chicken and you get alot of flairups if not carefull.
Maybe a 2 hour smoker, and finish on the BBQ.
I did the best dang chicken last...
Beer can chicken rocks.
Rub down the inside cavity, outside skin, and put some seasoning up top under the neck skin area.
No need to do a quick brine, but wouldn't hurt.
Beer can chickens are VERY moist.
Even instead of beer, (I prefer a dark beer myself) try apple cider too.
wow that is a CLEAN shiny MES smoker........my is black and lumpy with a 1/8" thick layer of lovin' built up on the inside.
Keep up the good work, your smoker will get chunky too with more tasty good loving.
Soup-view anyone?
So yes I put all the veggies and fake crab meat in the MES smoker for about 1 hour at 200 degrees and threw on some hickory chips. See the first photo. The meat and veggies took on a yummy smell and texture, not too crisp, not too soggy. Almost like a Turkey stuffing mix.
