Who's smoking meat this weekend?

[JonM]

Just got a request for a pork butt for tomorrow's 4th of July/FIL's birthday celebration. Called the butcher to have him put one aside for me because they're popular items for the 4th.

We are doing Thanksgiving in July this weekend. I will be smoking a turkey on Saturday.

 

[HoppyDaze]

Doing a butt tomorrow...

My inlaws are coming down to meet their 1st gtandchild. Doing pulled pork Sunday!

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

Doing pulled pork for sammiches, ribs with 2 different sauces, ABTs, and smoked corn tomorrow...and that's just what's on the smoker.

 

[Drizzt]

Driz- happened to catch the grill you have there.... Not trying to hijack thread, but how do you like it. My concern is how thin the metal is.

It is not a quality smoker by any stretch but it is a 4 in 1. I like it and it was a gift. considering I did not pay for it I like it a little more


I'm not sure if my the flavors in my beer are off or complex 😳

Beernbourbon it's one of these monsters.

can I use non-kitchen twine to wrap my butt or will it burn in the smoker?

Suggestions? Don't want to go to the store...

If it's cotton, your good. Don't use synthetic.

New smoker suggestions under say $750?

An 18.5" WSM and 22" WSM.

An 18.5" WSM and 22" WSM.

how does that effect one's EAC status?

I really like the pellet grills but if they're unreliable like this Traeger than I'm not interested. Not sure how I'd like the vertical smoker...but I may just go with a WSM and a Weber charcoal and call it good for a few years.

I know it isn't for everyone, but I really like my master built electric smoker. I got the 30", but you'll be way under $750 with the 40" model. I use it with the A-MAZE-N smoker tube. Works great.

 

[jaymclean]

Smoking a chicken tomorrow for a friends birthday party. I'm thinking about smoking a beef roast of some sort as well, something other than a brisket. Any one have any recommendations? I'll he stopping at the store in about 2 hours or so to get the meat if anyone has suggestions.

Tri tip

Why buy a smoker and a smoker tube? Could you get by with a tube and a gas grill?

 

[weirdboy]

For what it's worth, I have the A-MAZE-N pellet smoker, and a Weber Smokey Mountain.

I use the WSM normally for hot smoking, but combine with the A-MAZE-N for cold smoking. The other option with the WSM is to build a separate smoke chamber, with some ducting and fans to keep the heat off whatever you're smoking.

 

[HoppyDaze]

Tri tip

This, or rib roast

 

[weirdboy]

I am interested to see how you do smoking a roast and a chicken at the same time.
I generally smoke chickens way hotter and faster to get the skin crisp. Otherwise, I'd recommend getting your broiler going in the kitchen to finish off the chicken after you pull it off the smoker.


Although tri tip certainly could turn out pretty good like that, too. HOWEVER if you are doing tri-tip you ought to do it Santa Maria style like they still do at Jocko's which to my knowledge is the cheapest, best steak you can get in a restaurant in California.

Fixed the auger on the Traeger, now the fan is out. ********** grill

I had trouble getting good temp control and indirect heat on my gas grill. The electric smoker has a tray for wood chips, but it's undersized. The tube smoker is relatively cheap and the smoker/tube combo gives precise temp control and good smoke with very little babysitting.

I'm smoking some baby back ribs tomorrow. Gonna use Alton Browns recipe. Hopefully they turn out good.
