Split them down for the size I use, sometimes I’ll split one again if I’m mixing a few woods. I also put a C O H A or M with a marker on them since they’ll get mixed up in the milk crate. This should get me through the fall this year.
I went with cherry apple hickory for today.
Planning on smoking a couple racks of ribs this afternoon, and my cut/prepared wood stock was dire. I cut logs in half and then split them with a hatchet if needed.
I’ve got apple and cherry in the box but I may use smaller pieces and add some hickory.
I'm glad a lot of the experts here talk about this. I run my smoker at 275 now and like starting a big chunk of meat in the morning and serving it that night.
I should’ve asked you how long it took. I expected about 4 hours and I planned to up the temp for that last hour, like your cooks.
It was ready in three so I didn’t get a chance to run the high temp long and it didn’t get that nice bark you had.
I dry brined a huge pile of beef ribs, unintentionally, with heavy salt and pepper the first season with my smoker. They were in the fridge for over 24 hours, smoked with oak, and they tasted like pastrami.
Which was a “surprise” to everyone, including me.
He did this twice, one was brined, the other wasn’t. I posted a thread about brining the other day and it was pointed out this is pre-injected, so I didn’t brine.
First time I’ve run the smoker and the meat was ready way earlier than expected.
This cooked a lot quicker than I planned. I assumed it would take about four hours @nd I’d turn the temp up for the last hour to get it to crisp up, but it was ready in about three. I wasn't really able to let it...
After I saw one of civilsmoker’s cooks, it looked great and I have the same Kirkland rack of pork, so I’m not reinventing the wheel. Trimmed it a little and sliced the diamond pattern. Mustard, rub, and maple syrup cooking on some hickory and cherry.
I’m hanging it, for no other reason than I...
civilsmoker posted two cooks with the same Kirkland racks of pork, he brined one and didn’t appear to brine the other.
I’ll still use his method, sans brine.
