I am so going to try this! Those look awesome! I guess you just get the hammer and shell cracker to get at the meat? Those smoked shells and un-eaten parts could make for an awesome lobster stock too.
I found your blog and enjoyed it very much! Thanks for sharing!!!
Bama - yours looks great...
Perhaps you discovered a new method??? 230 for 5 hours - 170 for 2 hours then back up to 230 till done?? Okay, maybe not but it's a thought. (grin) Nice looking chunk-o-meat!!
Can I get a little more detail about your method on the lobster? We have a great Asian grocery here in Tucson that sells live Maine lobster really cheap. I would love to try this for a special surf and turf. Can you tell me the smoker temp, the length of time and how you can tell when they're...
I say good on you for trying! You and your wife are good people!! I'm sorry that you were insulted/slighted by rude people but at least you tried.
I say this because I've not been stood up like that ever - then I realized, I never invite anyone outside of my comfort circle. So I say GOOD ON...
I got hit with that too... "You're not going to smoke that are you?" And, "Can we try that without the smoke?" I've been doing some charcoal only slow cooking and receiving some good reactions. I get to play with the slow cooker and they quit complaining. :)
I've done this several times - definitely SOAK IT. The 3 hour soak changing water every half is great advice. Smoke and Choke's method looks great too!!!
Hi Will,
I've smoked dozens of turkeys and tried many methods. It's really hard to screw up unless you go too hot/fast. I prefer Chechers cajun injection. Be careful when brining because most turkeys have already been "enhanced" with their own brine/salt mixture.
Good luck with your smoke...
Hi guys - I just saw a national commercial that Lowe's is offering the Char-Griller Duo for just $249.00 - that's $50 off.
Just FYI
I held out for weeks last year waiting for this sale - it never came and I paid full price. Darnitall.
I also agree about not trimming. The only time I trim is when I'm going for "show" at the dinner table. Otherwise, we go caveman and dig right in. I too am learning the foil method - I have always gone without the foil in the past.
Good luck!
The other guys will have to help with the smoker because I have no experience with a pellet smoker but I've cut shoulders in half many times to decrease the cook time BUT ALSO to give me more crust in the mix. Good luck.
?? Was the texture as good as when you get the stall? I've found that with brisket, the temperature is just a guide but it's the meat (texture) that tells me when it's done. I've gone as high as 210 and had some great brisket - had I pulled it at 195 it would have been tough.
Roll Tide!!!!
I was a BUFF crew chief at Castle back in 1985! Flew almost everywhere as a C-9 flight-mech (think flight engineer). Feet firmly on the ground now - unless they are on the cooler near the smoker waiting for something juicy and tender to come out. Nice to meet you!
