Hello all.
My first post and why I joined. Hope to learn a lot more. I'm close to 50 and thought I knew. Oh well.
Now I have been grilling and I thunked smoking for a long time but I had a lousy turn out today.
Rubbed 3 different kinds beef with Long Horn rub and put on my new smoker and It was the worst thing I ever did.
I used the pecan limbs from the yard which I've done before.
This is a new smoker for me its a Oklahoma Joe's if any asks. Its been rainy today and my temp has stayed low 150-200 fluctuation.
After abbot 4 hours I tried the thin slice as almost a rare jerky and it was like lemon or vinegar. and waaaayy too smokey, I didn't know you could over smoke.
But the wife and I had some over smoked beef at a restaurant that I will leave un-named over the weekend.
I read later today the bark will give acidic flavor and may be my culprit but I have pulled oak from burn pile before with bark and never noticed this problem either.
Was I almost cold smoking or under temp.
When I opened the lid the smoke that rolled out was almost greenish tint that I thought was odd as I usually see white.
So I expect to get beat up over this and maybe get some laughs too.
Thank you in advance.
