    Uuni-3 Pizza Oven review

    knowing what I know now, if I were about to buy another pizza oven, I would buy the ooni Koda. when using pellets, I had to split my attention between the heat source and the pizza. it might be that I'm not experienced enough. as many folks have said, using the pellets does not seem to add any...

    meat lollipops on GMG/DC.

    when i bought 'em, the meat was on the full length of the rib. cooking causes the meat to contract, giving us that great "meat lollipop" effect! i'm glad i have more in the freezer . . . and just one's enough for a meal (maybe 6 - 8 oz. of meat).

    meat lollipops on GMG/DC.

    for me, it's perfect! I keep it on a plastic folding table with a few layers of heavy-duty foil under it. I've measured the tabletop temperature and it stays no higher than 90 degrees Fahrenheit, even if the Davy Crockett is at 450. it holds plenty for me; no problem with a 9 pound pork butt...

    meat lollipops on GMG/DC.

    I smoked a couple of the USDA prime Chuck short ribs I got at Costco. I simply used bovine bold rub the night before, and smoke them at 225F to an internal temp of 204F. I did not spritz them with anything, and didn't really miss it. doing the ribs individually, which is how they come at...

    Uuni-3 Pizza Oven review

    \ wow! aluminum/aluminium melts at 660.3 C!! that's incredible. the propane burner is a great upgrade, in my experience. it's a "set and forget" deal, so i can just concentrate on the pizzas. speaking of which, i just got a Metalcraft brand 8" pizza turner (amazon) for about $16 delivered. i...

    Uuni 3

    i've read of problems like this elsewhere - in those cases, it's been wind that blows into the open door. i bought a propane attachment for mine (flavor's just as good) and it works great. also, i now put the racks and drip pan from my GMG davy crockett in the uuni for 10 minutes - just like a...

    Tips for making things quicker and easier?

    ! I've got a GMG Davy Crockett, as well as a new portable Ooni 3 pellet / propane pizza oven. The pizza oven gets up to 930° in 10 minutes, and I realized that is higher than most self-cleaning ovens. So, after a recent cook of a very well marbled prime tomahawk steak from Costco, I was getting...

    Smoked Tomahawk steak

    I got one like that today at my local Costco. $12.99 a pound for prime: came in just shy of 2 pounds. Yours looks perfect! I think I'll try 180° on my Davy Crockett pellet grill, and then sear it on top of a charcoal starter. A couple of questions: do you recall how long it needed to smoke...

    Pizza stone recommendations?

    Thanks to +mdboatbum for the "bottom of the skillet" suggestion! I got a GMG Davy Crockett recently, and was thinking of getting a pizza steeI. Since I'm only cooking for one, I can now try it first by using the bottom of one of my my 10.5" Lodge skillets! I took out one of the two grates so...

    just a question for everyone , with salmon candy

    good thinking!! I do that with stuff for sous vide sometimes. In this case, though, I left it in the fridge since it will all get eaten in a few days. Besides,I've never frozen smoked salmon, so I don't know how that comes out.

    Salmon and Halibut ideas

    i did my first salmon on my new GMG davy crockett yesterday. i found this artical helpful for a wet brine, although after pulling at 135F, i put it back and cooked to 160 (much better). i did brush with real maple syrup, and added some "sweet chili garlic" siracha, maple and mesquite spice from...

    just a question for everyone , with salmon candy

    when i used the food saver to vacuum seal the fresh wild sockeye i did yesterday on my new GMG davy crockett, i noticed that the pressure of the suction pump pulled some liquid (presumably tasty fat) out of the warm salmon. since it's my first smoked salmon, i can't say i have anything to...

    Davy Crockett Table

    I bought a $35 Lifeline folding table from Amazon, laid a rubber mat on top which i covered with four 1' x 2' floor tiles from home depot. with a couple of layers of aluminum foil (shiny side up) under my Davy Crockett, the tile surface under the foil stayed below 105 with the smoker at 350...

    Pellet Grilled Pizza

    I noticed the grates in the smoker are going side to side, not front to back. Is it still possible to use the grillgrates' "turning fork"?

    Boston butt touching, edges Below 140 after 8 hours, is it good?

    The bug to worry about for food poisoning is Staphylococcus. As long as you wash your hands with soap and water before you put on the rub, and the meat wasn't handled with unclean hands before that, there shouldn't be a lot of staph germs there to cause problems. Also, if there was salt in the...

    Pans or no pans?

    i just got a smoke hollow 38" 38205GW propane smoker and hope to try it this weekend on a pork butt. i've read this thread with interest, trying to decide between less mess (i.e., use a pan) vs. better bark (on the rack). since the smoker comes with four racks that are adjustable in about 1"...
