Wood smoked food hot and cold methods

[Potters]

Hey guys. Wondering if anybody smokes their own food? My best item would be smoked cheddar cheese hickory chips and smoke the cheese for 2 hours then cured for 2 weeks in the fridge, best cheese you will ever eat. Haven't mastered jerky yet. I personally love mine bone dry, that can sit on ur dash board for a week lol.

Ahhhhh...I want to get the Bayou Smoker grill from Lowes. That bad boy is $699 and cooks, smokes and does Brick Oven Pizza. Smokers Paradise.

289307289307Nice fellas. yea I hot smoke my stuff in a big chief. my grill has an option for a smoker on the side. Here's a picture of last summer grilling. It uploaded twice 2 lazy to fix it. It's propane on the left and charcoal on the right porcelain grates. if I boughtThe additional smoker piece it would be on the right of the charcoal grill

Nice mate looking good. And yea I'm from texas as well nothing beats some brisket. I make some fine deer jerky

[cannabis-seeds]

we have an old-fashioned smoker & just bought a propane box smoker.

the propane one is surprisingly good - we've made ribs & a brisket so far.

[Potters]

Nice. Haven't had the chance for other meats myself. aren't those like a 24 hour 2 day long type of smoking deal?

[cannabis-seeds]

ribs take 6 to 8 hours - we did a 20 pound beef brisket - it took over 20 hours in the smoker, plus 4 or 5 wrapped in towels in a cooler to finish it off

I am no pro here, by any means; but after 8 hours smokin'; why or 'can' you even wait another 4 or 5 hours in a cooler???
Generally, I rub/marinate mine overnight in beer, then pre-cook in a low heat oven for 8 hours and then on the smoker another 7-8 hours. I have never been brave enough to smoke a turkey though, I've heard horror stories!

I see 32yrsltr is taking a little vacation. Guess I should have warned him, toast doesn't seem to use a good sativa, it isn't a very good idea to get stoned and 'deliberately' make a post with toast in it (not even with jelly on it) (lol--was rather funny, as I was using Pineapple when I read it). I thought the post was funny and he was stoned!

In Euless, Tx; there was a pro 'smoker' that did awesome feeds at his buffet in a VFW place, on Friday and Saturday evenings. Awesome variety and always great. Sure missed it, when my Mother moved to Calif and left Euless.

I've been looking at those propane ones? My smoker, the lid is really heavy, after a day of smokin'. Not to mention how difficult it is to keep the temp constant, in the winter. I'll have to take a more serious look at those propane ones...Thanks for the info.
:smokin:(still pineapple'd) pr

I was wondering what happened to him thanks, we were talking in some thread then I swear the whole thing dissapears..felt like I was trippin
What do you marinate overnight in beer? I've tried this with sausage,quite good
I smoke my turkey a minumum of 24 hrs but so is the treatment for all meat. As long as the temp doesn't go above 200 it will stay as moist as the day we killed it.

[cannabis-seeds]

the ribs are just 6 to 8 hours

the brisket - you wrap them up in several towels & place them in a cooler to keep in the heat as a last step
it lets the juices settle & circulate - the brisket ends up being very moist & fall apart tender - great if you like a pulled BBQ
probably not a good idea if you like a sliced brisket

I just threw 3 racks of babybacks and a Pork butt on the Smoker. My other favorite thing to do is BBQ for my family. :)

[d00g]

I love BBQing even in the winter, melts a nice hole in the snow around the smokey joe! My wife insists on having a BBQ bday party for my dog every year, which is in the winter. It's worth it when I can go in and watch football with tailgating food at home on the grill with friends and some friendly fatties passed.

[OMB]

I run an Offset stickburner, or on occasion the old Weber Kettle. It's surprising how well a Weber works for smoking if you use it correctly. Yep....Love me some good BBQ! I love the whole process. The Rub, the cooker, all the meat babysitting and Bonghit's that go with it. :smokin:
I usually run ribs, brisket and BBQ "Fatties"....I will tell you about those sometime if you want d00g, nothing like Bacon wrapped ground pork stuffed with cheese and pepper's smoked for a couple hour's.. :thumbsup:

[growdemon]

Yea nothing beats a good smoked BBQ

I usually do salmon, chicken, strip steaks & tons of peppers (from the garden) to make homemade chipotle for later usage


smoke some weed! :smokin:

Friend brought a buddy To one of my bonfires. He was so taken by my homemade cooker that he took a picture, and sent it to pitmasters, they dubbed it hillbilly bbq, very stationary. County sheriff(hide in plain sight) said it looks like a big ass still. But works good, have used it to cook meat for a couple of large weddings. Take the meat to them!!

You guys have made me hungry!! :joint1::eat::eat::smokebong::S5:

[tlranger]

I nothing like Bacon wrapped ground pork stuffed with cheese and pepper's smoked for a couple hour's.. :thumbsup:

Boy, love a good bacon bomb!!

[d00g]

Anyone do the whole hog spit roast? I have a good friend that owns a very nice, open, and airy summer home in woodsy New Hampshire and we (along with 20-30 other people) head up there for a couple nights and blast fireworks and M-80's, light a couple large bonfires or combine them for one MASSIVE fire, share several HAPPY kegs with friendly people, then everyone shares their own grown, or locally purchased, head stash. It's pretty much the highlight of the summer (depending on beach weather).

Doog, every time I'm in NC the in-laws head for the butcher shop and get a small piggy. Takes a while but sure is good!!

[OMB]

I have never done a whole Piggie, but that's an interesting thought. I have the Cooker space, but I'm not sure I have enough hungry mouths!

[tlranger]

Feeds allot of peeps!! But they also used a small pig, quessing les than 100' Live weight, 60-70' dressed. But it's impressive on a very large flat top grill.
