Is anyone else planning your next smoke?

[bb53chevpro]

Is anyone already planning the weekend smoke yet? I have already decided I would like to do a couple slabs of ribs, Dutches beans, and some ABT's. This will all be firsts for me in the GOSM. Can anyone give me some advise how I should be placing these in the smoker. The ribs will go in first, then after 2 to 2.5 hrs will put the beans, then 1/2 hour later planning to put in the ABT's. But where would the best place to put this food? Ribs closest to the bottom, then beans in the middle of the smoker, and ABT's at the top?
Or will it make no difference?
And what's going into your smoker this weekend?
Andy.

don't have your smoker chev, but have heard to let the ribs drip into the beans-I just made a batch last we-smoked tasso and added them into the beans.Allie gonna make gumbo with the rest-sausage making this we-so prolly have the smoker full.

ABT's on top, ribs HAVE to go over the beans so beans on the bottom!!

I am gonna play with the new smoker and see what the temp range is, and try to figure out the wood burning thingy. I will be checking ranges and temps on sat, and If I do get a handle on it, On sunday for the race, I am gonna do a large fatty(gotta celebrate)

, some of dutch's beans, and some chicken quarters.

I'm planning on smokin a turkey this weekend and will be filling the rest of the grill with venison jerky. Last weekend I did spareribs and started some Jerky in the dehydrator. I normally use the smoker for jerky but it was full with the ribs. I had filled the small remaining spaces in the grill with some of the jerky too. As soon as I tasted the first piece off the smoker and compared it to what was coming out of the dehydrator, I shut the dehydrator off and waited for the ribs to finish before I put all the jerky into the smoker. Had a party with friends that same evening. NONE of the jerky saw the sun come up the next day! I also resmoked some bbq chicken legs I had sealed and frozen from a couple weeks before and grilled up a couple fillets that I sliced up for everyone to have a few pieces of. It was quite a feast that everyone enjoyed! I wish I had a camera so I could share in the fun of the Qview!

Oh yeah!!!

This sat is a buddies 40th were Qing. Was gonna try to do a pig cowgirl style. Things didn't workout so thats on a thing to do list this summer. Main course is ribs, by request I was asked to make dutchs beans 3 pans, salads potato, macaroni and don't know about anything else but 2 kegs of coor lt.

My only concern would be: Turkey i like higher temps....Around 250 even as high as 300 to crisp her up some....

not a jerky expert by any means - but isn't it done at lower temps??

 

[desertlites]

yup was what I thinking-jerky I do at 140 or less.sounds like u need a second smoker-I love having more than 1.

 

[meandmytwodogs]

I've always done my jerky at around 220 and had pretty decent success. I don't mind the crispy edges. What temp do you normally run a turkey at? I'v done em at 220-250 in the past. To be honest, I've never put jerky with a turkey.

 

[reddog]

I am thinking beef ribs. I also have 10 lbs of free range brisket call my name. I first need to fix my smoke issues. Did a meatloaf this past weekend to much smoke.

 

[desertlites]

me & my if you like doing jerky that hot go for it-turkey in the 300 range here& finish it at 350 or so-but I do like to low & slow my jerkey,just my 2 cents.

 

[pne123]

pulled pork and beans.....mmmm. first time w/ doing beans..

thinking of trying dutches but they sound a little sweeter than we like.

 

[low&slow]

I thought the same thing. I saw pineapple in the ingredients and said no way. You cant put pineapple in beans! Then after about 6 months of listening to everybody say how good they were I decided to try them. Best darn decision Ive made in awhile. Pineapple goes surprisingly good with beans. My wife doesnt like them, but everyone else Ive fed them too loves them. I recommend at least trying them. I bet youll like them and be suprised like I was.
I dont get to smoke anything this weekend....gotta work.

 

[capt dan]

same here for me. I tried to tell her everyone but her likes em, but she don't care. I still make em though! Its nice to win the....gas war around here, and easy when she has no ammo!

I'm planning about 5 lbs of chicken legs and some ABT's this weekend. I smoked chicken for the neighbors, who just had child number 5 the other weekend and didn't save any for us. What a dumb idea. I'm never somking again without a little side stash for us!

 

[kookie]

I am thinking of doing up a few pounds of slim jims this weekend and maybe some pork chops for dinner..............

 

[pduke216]

6 pork shoulders are going on the GOSM around 11 pm on Friday night. I figure about 50 lbs worth. I am still trying to see what else I can fit.
