Hey Chorizo - I definitely recommend Tip's Slaughter House brine. Been using it for quite a while and it makes a BIG difference.
RE: What to use, I use a plain Jane, none scented, white trash bag. Get the air out and put it in a smaller cooler covered with ice. If the trash bag bothers ya...
Dang, Tee!
You knocked that one outta the park! Good for you tackling a raw ham. I've "reheated" a bunch in the smoker. Been playing around with curing ham steaks this summer and may have to just pick me up a ham after seeing this post.
Great job
Very nice, D!!
Nothing beats a fresh roasted green chile. Me and Bassman roasted our first picking a couple of weeks ago. We had enough we didn't worry about weighing them...!
First picking - right at nine buckets - here's some of them.
Nice peppers this year - these were a good average...
Thanks a lot, Eric - it all turned out great.
Here's the wrap up post. I didn't get any chopped pictures of the chicken - got way too busy.
Here's the brisket cold sliced this morning - waiting for some top rack reheat action.
Yard Bird!! Brined for 12 hours using Tip's Slaughter House...
A really good guy that works for me is hosting his son's first birthday and baptism bash this weekend and asked me if I would "smoke up some stuff for about a 100 people".. HELL's YEAH! I says... so I took the day off and I'm going with brisket, butt, and some yard bird. Picked up three packers...
I was asked by a member to re-post this.
I know there are many different designs of these, just thought I would share this simple one. Had a chance to play with the plazma cutter as well!
Built this for the neighbor who primarily grills with gas and has two Weber Kettles - he's not really into...
Wheew!! Got the smoker cleaned up and ready, and started in on Tuesday morning on the chickens.
Cleaned Sam's Club out with 22 whole chickens and 3 more flats of thighs just in case.
Half-Spatched by cutting the backs out for an easier chop.
Chickens out of Slaughter House Brine for...
Thanks everyone!! Here's and update after I got some sleep!
I started the fire at 11:45 pm on Friday and had the butt's in by 12:30am Sat morning. I smoked them at 235* for nine hours and then panned and foiled them until 1:30 when the largest but was at 188*... stay with me here folks... At...
Thanks everyone! It's one of those hard but fun projects that you can't wait to start... then can't wait for it to be over!!
Here we are at the nine hour mark - panned and foiled and waiting for 195* to kill the smoker and let them sit a while.
RB - We are going to vacuum seal and freeze...
Hey SMF, this is will be the second year I've helped a local March of Dimes group with a BBQ fund raiser. Last year I smoked 10 butts and 108#'s of chicken thighs. We had a great turn out and support from the community - even a couple of members (Mr Bassman and Mr Bbally) attended - so we are...
Fricking miserable day here in Western Colorado, so I'm kicking back, still in my jammies and sucking down some con leche's that are so damn good, I couldn't keep them from ya! I've got nothing against a good cup a cowboy coffee, but these are a treat every once in a while.
Buddy of mine got me...
FL, I pretty much shared the process above - only thing missing was the dough recipe which is just a basic white bread recipe I got from my mom which litterally reads:
2 C water
2 T sugar
1 T salt
1 T oil
Enough flour to make good dough...!
I started using instant yeast, so I will add 2 t...
Whipped up some sticky buns tonight for an office thing tomorrow.
I just use a basic bread dough with some cinnamon and vanilla added.
The "sticky" is just brown sugar and pancake syrup - pecans optional.
I use a rolling pen to roll out the dough - guessing 10 to 12" wide, slather with...
Ha!... Yeah! I didn't notice that until after I already macked down that rib... had one loaf of cinnamon bread, two regular.
Thanks for all the nice comments, folks!
Hey SMF! Been a while. Finally had a break in the weather, so I smoked me up some brisky this last weekend.
The weather here in Western Colorado has been absolutely beautiful two weekends in a row. Bassman took advantage of that last weekend and smoked "us" up four pork butts... So I thought...
