    Pork Belly

    I did another pork belly with the chuck roast. This belly was frozen for about a week. It was good but I was having some resistance after reaching 205 degrees. The lower right side was not probing like butter but the rest of the belly was. I did not want to overcook it so I pulled a wrapped...

    Poor Mans Brisket

    I just finished smoking this chuck roast. I smoked at 250 degrees for 5 hours and 40 minutes with cherry wood (all I had). I rubbed with SPG and pulled at 206 degrees. Probed like butter and was oozing juice. The reveal will be tomorrow. I wrapped in butcher with some tallow, vac sealed...

    Pork Belly for my John Deere technician

    Just finished a belly for my John Deere technician. I bought a new tractor and had to have $5,000.00 dollars worth of warranty work due to a hairline crack. Pics and notes below.

    Pork Tenderloin

    I tried out a tenderloin tonight. I brined for 24 hours. Rubbed with SPG. Smoked with applewood at 275 degrees to 142 degrees internal. I did not keep track of the time. It was freaking amazing. I believe my smoker (CookShack SM066) loves 275 degrees.

    Pork Belly on my Weber Kettle

    I smoked a 5.5-pound pork belly on Sunday (05-28-23). I had family in town for my daughter’s high school graduation. I used my 22-inch Webber grill (set up with Slow N Sear and Fireboard Pro 2). Cook time was right at 11 hours. The Fireboard held the grill temp at 225 degrees almost perfectly...

    I smoked a 20-pound brisket on Sunday (05-27/28-23). I had family in town for my daughter’s high school graduation. I used my CookShack SM066 electric smoker. This was my first brisket on this smoker. Cook time was 12 hours and 45 minutes and the brisket was held at 150 degrees for six hours...

    Holding Cooler with a Sous Vide heater

    Trying something new here. I have an electric SM066 smoker that has a hold feature (145 to 150 degrees) BUT it only holds temps for six hours. I also know that I can set the temp to 145 or 150 and walk away as well. I have been searching far and wide on the internet for holding oven ideas...

    Pork Belly

    I did a pork belly today. This was my longest smoke on the new smoker. The meat was 6.25 pounds and was smoked from 0800 to 1930 (11.5 hours). I have never had a pork belly take that long ever. Final temp was 190 degrees. The pork belly also expanded in height (never seen that before...

    Why would You Tube lie to me (12lbs Pork loin)

    This is my first lengthy cook on my new SM066. Every BBQ channel I watched on You Tube said pork loins take around 3-4 hours at 225. I cut the loin into thirds and seasoned each piece with a different flavor rub. I just pulled mine at 2.5 hours and the temp was reading 150 to 160. I...

    HOLY CRAP!!!

    I made smoked shotgun shells for the Super Bowl. I had some left over. I vac sealed them and stuck them in the freezer. My wife reminded me about them tonight. So I tried them. When I opened the bag, I was immediately hit with hickory smoke (unbelievable). I microwaved them for two and a...

    Pizza FLATTY (fatty)

    I wanted to cook a breakfast fatty but decided against taking a loan out to buy some eggs. I had all the other ingredients on hand to make a pizza fatty. This one cooked faster because I could not roll it closed. I over stuffed with cheese, onions, and pepperonis. It cooked pretty quickly...

    Maiden smoke on my new SM066

    I decided to make a cheeseburger fatty as the initial cook on my SM066. I have never cooked one these before. I've done briskets, ribs, chicken, and butts. I figured the bacon weave and rolling would be more difficult than it actually was. I set the smoker for 275 and cooked until the...

    SM066 - AMERIQUE ELECTRIC SMOKER seasoning

    I seasoned for 6 hours at 275. For the first 2 hours, I had some temperature swings ranging from 6-12 degrees (oldsarge said it was normal - THANKS by the way). The temps settled down and ran at 275 for the remaining 4 hours. My order came with hickory. Smelled awesome while seasoning. Time...

    SV Ribeye

    Broke out my Sous Vide. Cooked a ribeye at 129 for 1 hour (medium rare). I use my Lodge 11 inch square griddle to perform the sear. This time I used my MAPP gas torch. I was a little cautious because it's like a gazillion degrees. The ribeye was really yummy. It's like cheating using this...

    SM066 - AMERIQUE ELECTRIC SMOKER OVEN vs LONE STAR GRILLZ - Pee Wee Insulated Cabinet Smoker

    I am in the market for a new smoker. I have been looking at the Amerique SM066 for a while. I discovered the LSG Pee Wee on accident. I do not care about the smoke ring either. I really like the SM066 for the set and forget and temperature holding capabilities. But with that said, I have...

    Wife's Christmas Present

    My wife said she wanted one of these for Christmas. Char Griller 36 inch flat iron griddle. I caught it on sale at Menards for $200.00 back in October. I have used BS in the past. I liked this because the burners have a wind protection, better temperature control, and it came with a metal...

    I have a 1999, 20.5 cubic foot GE Hotpoint fridge / freezer. It was bought used about 15 years ago. It died and I got a wild hair up my rump to turn this thing into an electric smoker. I started gutting it and discovered the entire inside is a one piece plastic shell (picture 1). The plastic...
