Over thanksgiving my sister said that I could take their Brinkman Smoke n' Pit since her and my brother in law don't really like smoked food. I am going to be doing some mods to it, we my old man is going to do some mods to it while I am away this summer. I have read through a couple of mod...
well the journey has come to an end, for trying a couple of new techniques today I am surprised how it turned out. I am a big fan of the trimming job I did, I could have probably done just a bit more but it didn't loose any moisture and I didn't loose that big chunk of rub that you normally...
if the chicken gets cook to temp, which would be hard I would think without drying out the pig, and it doesn't sit in the danger zone for to long wouldn't the temps kill the bacteria?
we are just over two hours in and things are going good....I battled some thick white smoke and low temps for a bit but I think I have gotten things leveled back out. Just put the meat probe in and we are at 129 degrees at the two hour mark which is a bit quicker than I thought I would get...
well the smoker got fired up about 7:15 this morning, it was tough to get her up to temp with the ambient air tempature at 39 when I lite up but with patients I got there. Butt went on about 8:15 or so and we are rolling along at a good steady 235 which is exactly where my smoker likes to be...
no worries brother. I have had one done in 6 hours and one that took 10 to 11 the rest were within that 7-9 hour range...its a long smoke but its gonna be nice out tomorrow so I will be able to get some yard work done while I am smoking which will be nice.
luckily I am the only one to worry about so when its done its done. I have done about 7-8 butts on my ECB and the longest one took 10 hours which is no big deal, I just hope I have enough coals to last that long.
mmmm fatties, I haven't had a fatty in almost 8 months, I am starting to shake, helucinate and get very irritable.
I happen to agree with the OP, I have done fatties with and without bacon and I actually enjoy the ones without bacon more than those with.
one thing that I have noticed since I started smoking is that I end up being overly critical of my own food. We spend so much time prepping and babysitting that we expect to have perfection at the end and if one thing is slightly off we know it. I always thought my food was less than stellar...
its not my first ever just the first of the year, the weather has finally decided to cooperate with us here in South Dakota. Will more than likely be my only smoke of the year flying solo, we are having a big BBQ the last weekend of April.
I am trying something different than I normally do on this one. Usually I don't trim a but at all but have always hated that thick layer of fat that you end up pulling off when it comes time to pull, you end up with a large section of meat with no rub and no bark so this time I decided to trim...
I have to admit I am as giddy as a school girl because I get to fire up the smoker tomorrow for the first and probably only time this spring/summer. I have three butts that I picked up dirt cheap this winter that need to get smoked, one will get done tomorrow and then maybe the other two at a...
it was a great time....at least I think it was, after the game was over and the food was gone I start to get alittle fuzzy about the details but damn was it a good time.
we used Makers Mark. What we did was to cook the bacon and then took the grease from the bacon and poured the grease into the burbon. As the grease cool it comes together and you can take it out or pour the burbon into a different bottle.
Welcome to another Iowan, theres getting to be lots of us around these parts. There is so much knowledge here that if you don't learn something you ain't spending enough time here. Good luck on your future smokes.
Thanks dawn I thought I was going to be able to give my smoker a rest for awhile after this weekend but it looks like I will be firing it up again tonight. Smoked egg salad sammies sounds darn good to me
good looking thunder chicken there. A nice turkey samich on homemade bread, thats sound great. Its a good thing I am full from lunch or that would have made me really hungry. points to you sir.
