Thats a good question.
I believe the loin is backstrap, and Im not sure if I got the whole hind leg or just a part of it. I need to thaw and unwrap it so I can look at it closer and see exactly what Im working with.
Thanks for the suggestions thus far everyone!
One of my coworkers and her husband graciously gifted me a 'ham' and a loin from one of his recent expeditions.
I have been looking at different ways of preparing these cuts, but I am kind of conflicted as I really don't want it to end up going to waste if I mess it up. That and the fact that...
While I can't personally speak to it (yet) I have a couple of coworkers who absolutely swear by theirs.
One did the twirlybird for their Thanksgiving bird, and my boss swears by the basket attachment for his wings. The only downside with the basket is much of the rub falls off during the cook.
I usually use a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of pickle juice to water. I have found that for best results, you should ensure the peanuts are covered in liquid and the seasonings have all been stirred in. Straight pickle juice (not diluted some) can be a bit strong.
F/S is an Auber Wifi PID controller for an electric smoker and a bluetooth Inkbird temp monitor.
I picked these up a while back and they have been rock solid while I used my electric smoker. Went to GF and never looked back.
Several replacement and aux probes are included although I don't...
Amazon baby!
Look up
Best Maid Dill Juice (they have several quantity options)
Best part is this stuff doesn't go bad and we use it rather quickly in our household!
Spicy dill pickle peanuts that you get commercially (with the pickle flavored dust on them) are deeeelish.
Doing your own batch of boiled ones with a salty pickle brine is a whole other flavor level!
We purchase our pickle juice in the gallon jugs and always have a couple on hand for...
I feel rather accomplished here in my office now.
Its been well over a year (maybe even 2 or so) since I made the transition from my MES30/MBMod/AMNPS and TS to my 560.
Upon my first (many) smokes, I came back to the office touting its superiority over my bosses three (3) MES30's, my other...
Im sure that you could just as easily do BP that have been shelled, but I would be afraid that they might end up being a little *too* soft as they would be directly exposed to the liquid and heat.
Give it a shot and report back!
One of the cool things about making boiled peanuts is being able to experiment with the spices you put into them.
On a whim a while back, I decided to substitute (part) of the water with pickle juice. And 'pickle peanuts' were born in my house. This is the main way that I make them for...
Yeah, that should be my next step.
I just found it odd that the ambient probe was the one doing this initially.
I plugged in (the recently used) meat probe and same symptoms.
Pulled the ambient probe from my (last working) Auber PID and same thing...
Ill try a brand new probe from...
I recently got sick of the terrible controls and connectivity issues with my MBGF 560, so I took the plunge and jumped on the Fireboard2 bandwagon.
Excited to finally use this thing, I ran into a couple of small snags initially but after that hump was cleared it was smooth sailing.
FFWD 2...
Check your switches. Namely the ones on the hopper door(s) - these will stop the fan if 'open'.
The switches tend to be the culprit more times than not.
Another thing - make sure that your controller software is up to date as well.
Copied and pasted from some of my Facebook groups, but it might help someone here too.
I have come to the conclusion that tumbleweeds are the only firestarter I plan to use from here on out. Those crappy cardboard squares don't light and get hot enough, and they often fall down into the ash...
And they were.
Taste test complete and while they were 'delicious' - I think I am going to chalk this up to one of the 'experiments' category. The end pieces were noticeably more juicy (and less dry-ish) The rest of it was juicy(ish) but nothing like I had expected. The meat was still...
Just pulled them from the paper wrap, and yes they were greasy/juicy but that was expected (not too bad though)
They have been glazed and are in there waiting to hit the finish line before I get to sample them.
Guess this is going to be tonights 'snack' as I have already eaten dinner :p
