    Re: Smoking Meat

    Smoked some shrimp yesterday. Did a New Orleans style butter sauce I found online. The sauce really gave it extra flavor and was a good dip for bread.



    Here’s the recipe:

    Re: Smoking Meat

    Man, can't believe I missed this thread until now.

    In book form, "Smoke and Spice" is still probably the best ground-up reference for the novice. Online, I mostly hang out on the Virtual Weber Bulletin Board, since I've been using the Smoky Mountain 22.5" for the last several years. Makes great 'cue, just wish I had more time to fool with it.

    Brisket is, by far, the most difficult to get just right. The window between "not tender enough" and "dried out" is easy to miss.

I buy a 6-7 lb pork shoulder from Costco, salt and pepper it (don’t do rubs on this), and let it go about 12 hours. I shepard the smoker all day, keep the heat up, and just let it smoke. I take it off, let it rest about an hour, and then trim and pull the whole damn thing. Frankly, by the time I’m done with it, I’m ready to eat a burger or something different. But the crowd is usually clamoring for meat so I set it out. It’s a carnivores delight.
    Good point. "The hold" is really important for those big cuts. A lot of people do the foil-towel-cooler method and it's better after sitting for an hour or two. The internal moisture has a chance to redistribute itself throughout the meat.

    I had a 732, and broke it, naturally. Great thermometer. Switched to a Weber iGrill of whatever vintage they're selling now, mostly due to the convenience of the bluetooth hookup where I can keep tabs on temps via a phone app. And for grilling or cooking of any kind, a Thermapen instant-read is super-handy.

    Re: Smoking Meat

    I mentioned earlier in this thread that I have an entry level $79 smoker (Masterbuilt portable). I think you could say I am an entry level chef when it comes to this.

    Yesterday, I was busy around the house but wanted to put something in the smoker and something simple. Well, I found a bag of Anytizer pre -cooked wings in the freezer and threw those in the smoker with some ball park franks. Let them cook on 200 degrees for a little over 4 hours.

    I was not shocked the ballpark franks turned out great but I could not believe the anytizer wings from frozen turn out great with just enough of that smoke flavor. Future Mrs. goreds2 and I watched the Reds and Sixers game with these and some beer(s) added. This may be on my opening day menu adding some baked beans to the smoker. I tip my Reds hat to those of you that smoke the fancy stuff. I will get better with more experience.

    I may have posted this earlier, but this is one of the best websites for recipes, information, and YouTube tutorials:

    The Killer Hogs BBQ rub and AP rub are well worth it. Not cheap because of shipping and Amazon cost but they make a difference.

    Re: Smoking Meat



    Did a rib sandwich today. Smoked a baby back using the 3-2-1 method. Five hours in I pulled the bones out and slathered it up with BBQ sauce I bought marked down at Kroger that was really sweet. It was good but probably something I don’t know if I’d do again.

    Smoked some pre cooked Curlys ribs yesterday during the Reds game. Unlike the Game, the ribs turned out great.

    Re: Smoking Meat

    On St. Pats day I tried Country ribs for the first time. Omg, they turned out great. All I did was put olive oil on it plus some rub.

    What is great about the smoker is if you don’t feel like eating at a certain time (because Mrs. goreds2 and I were drinking a few beers celebrating St. Pats) you can just keep it on a warm setting until you are done with the beers.

    Re: Smoking Meat

    I needed to replace my old weber grill last year and thought I'd get an Akorn. I got hooked on smoking and low and slow cooking, but would get so frustrated at how hard it was to hold a temp that I wound up going out and getting a Kamado Joe. I love it. Was hard to believe how easy it is to settle in a hold a temp in this thing.

    I'm still fairly new, but have probably 20 cooks under my belt now. I also bought the Flame Boss temperature controller, so it's set it and forget it.

    Re: Smoking Meat

    My smoker is an inexpensive not very well insulated one. It kicks butt in somewhat mild weather (50 degrees or above) but tomorrow for opening day in central Ohio area it will be 34 degrees. I will be fixing ribs and potatoes in the crock pot instead. We Will still enjoy opening day though.

    Anyone with a better smoker than mine plan on anything for opening day?

    Re: Smoking Meat

    Last night, we fixed some country style ribs. Smothered them with olive oil then added Kanas City rub. Had it in smoker for about 6 hours at 225 degrees. Also had baked potatoes in the smoker. Not bad for a $3 dinner.
