    Catering food

    Well i start work at 3PM and leave normally around 2pm for a 20 or so minute commute. The food would be sitting in the tins for probably like 30 minutes before I actually serve it. So i can always start heating the food up around 1 or so and once I get ready to leave I'll lay a large towel down...

    Catering food

    Hey I was planning on bringing pulled pork to work as well as chicken wings and was thinking i can heat it up in the oven before hand and then bring it in (storing in tin pans) or Maybe even buying those sternos and heating the food up there . any ideas ?

    wood

    My advice would be to contact local tree trimming companies and see what they have to offer. I live in PA and I've had good luck with tree trimming businesses and found that getting wood from them in the beginning of the year works out best because you can season the wood on your racks and by...

    Black slime on grates

    Black slime on grates

    Ok makes sense and as far as like crust build up the grates are clean of that it's that damn slime i can't get rid of but I noticed some do use a weed torch to burn that slime off. After burning that stuff off should I then get the smoker up to maybe 300 and spray some canola oil to let that...

    Black slime on grates

    Hey after several cooks I normally bring the smoker temp up a bit higher around 325 to get the grates hotter and scrape the grates but no matter what I do I still have this black slime on the grates. Today I used my benzomatic torch to burn the slime off which worked but can only cover a small...

    Smokin' A brisket

    Thank you and yes I noticed around the 160 mark it wasn't budging so I wrapped in butcher's paper at that time. I did for the most part smoke around 260s yesterday and some temp.spikes in the 270s Maybe that inconsistency attributed to a dryer flat? I had some maple wood that wasn't totally...

    Smokin' A brisket

    Thanks..i trimmed the brisket up a bit and the point section where they say you get burnt ends from I probably shouldn't have cut any.of that off prior to the cook..i used maple and cherry for the whole cook since that's all I had was ready and overall the smoke in the pork shoulder was decent...

    Smokin' A brisket

    It was 198 when i took it off which i was going to at 195 and don't know why I didn't. I let it rest for 90 minutes because I got impatient and was so hungry. My first brisket I let it test for about 3 to 4 hours and that was my best one and was done on a Weber 22 inch kettle hahaha. Thanks..the...

    Smokin' A brisket

    My third ever brisket and it was a bit dry I did have some temp spikes but overall proud of the long smoke that I proved that I can stick with it for the long run. Even if the meat wasn't a total home run I felt like I gave it my all in that long smoke hahaha. The one corner that is torn is...

    Smokin' A brisket

    Internal is 160 and I like the color mostly on it except towards the flat where it pooled with liquid a bit..i may wrap just to push through this 160 degrees I feel like the stall has arrived.
