Gotcha, Thanks for the quick reply. Going to do skin on as I agree it will be easier. Maybe smoke till they are ready, peel the skin off and sear on my grill.....
Well its been quite some time since I've been on here, kinda fell out of smoking getting tired of my MES40 not working properly. I've now the owner of a GMG DB and am smoking some fresh yellow tail for the family.
I found a good brine/recipe on this forum but I haven't seen whether the skin...
Two 10# HoneySuckle turkey's. These were awesome size and had no legs on them which was perfect as they get over done most the time anyway.
Did a 24hr water brine on both, then did a buttermilk brine for 24hrs as well. Brine was Todd's recipe but using my rub. Followed to a T. After brined, I...
These were honestly the best ABT's I've done. Here's a pic of the ingredients, no seeds and deveined japs. Just the right amount of heat, not much at all really which was great for some of my guests.
I fried the third one. Last yr I smoked 1 then crisped it up in the fryer, then fried an additional two. I don't think you'll notice a whole lot of difference in brining. There is a little but if you don't have time, don't worry about it.
Man I haven't been on here in awhile. Just to add, even though its too late:
First two turkeys:
Washed thoroughly, let soak in a water bath for 24hrs to dilute the solution.
Next I brined for 24 hrs in a concoction of stuff, including apple juice, distilled water and a host of other...
The only pellets I have are Oak that you sent when I ordered the Bourbon barrel. Just tried them the other day and they worked alright. If I put my tray next to the chip box it seems to stay burning. Doing some fatties now and when the smoker turned off, the tray went out and I have just...
This is from BBQ woods. I've gone as far as placing apple wood chips underneath some of the dust I've used and had good success as well but it doesn't last very long. Played around with it yesterday using the oak/pecan/hickory. Noticed that if its away from the element, even a few inches its...
Pellets work fine. You sent the oak pellets with the bourbon barrel I bought some time ago. Used the pellets today with no probs. nuked them all and had no issues. Nuked the apple and no dice. The oak/pecan/hickory gave me fits today and I think it's an airflow issue too.
I've tried a "Fine Cut" apple chips/dust a handful of times and no matter what I mix it with, it just doesn't burn. I've tried all the tricks and done all the modifications to my MES. I've never had problems with other woods either. I have a MES40 and AMNPS. I smoked a butt the other day and...
I know it's too late but next time when it reaches 140 you can turn it down. The higher temps help crisp it up though. So get it to 140 in under 4 hours and either finish it off in the oven to crisp it or max temp it on the MES and it could get kinda crispy. Mine did,
If you overload the chip tray, it will catch fire which isn't great but not all hope is lost. If you see it on fire, open the door and blow it out. Only load a small handful. The smoke will be grayish while is catching then it should turn to TBS once it mellows down. Water should be added to...
