What kind of smoker do you use? I saw the prime rib and now you're improving at least 5 1/2 pigs.

Fast Eddy by CookShack. Easy for my guys to set up, use, and clean in our busy kitchen.

Quick little loin that I threw on this morning. Nice and juicy pulled at 147. Cold this morning here smoker dropped to 190 for a few minutes that's still safe obviously right. Smoker thermometers has 275 internal says 203 on my sur la tab thermometer. I don't know if 200 is too low but it's really good. Have some ribs on there too they are the beef kind meh. Getting warmer and now it says 235

Left ribs on for another 6 hours while we went away they're overdone but better than they were last time. The pork baby backs just have way more meat

I found it challenging to get tender beef ribs, esp here in Pamama where I dont have many options in quality of cut. So, I started Sous Vide cooking them first and then finishing on the grill...yummy & tender.

Turkey Halves PBC style. I cut the backbone out of a small 11# bird, halved it, hung it over lump at 350* for 1.5 hrs and presto chango... we have dinner.

 

[Elkobrewer]

That bacon looks amazing. I'm going to have to try it.

 

[jrgtr42]

Got a couple racks of St Louis style on right now. They should be about set but I'm leaving them on a bit longer as the side dishes finish up. unfortunately I can't post pics or I'd show off.

Merry Christmas to me! Ordered a ThermoPro wifi dual probe thermo. Way cool. Now I can sit on my ass, drink beer, smoke cigars, and remotely monitor the grill !

Cooking a nice big red snapper now.

I have the same unit and love it. Throw away the batteries that came with it and you'll be good to go.

Good to hear. Most other units on Amazon have a significant % of negative reviews. This one did not.

Not knowing it came with batteries, I bought some good old Duracells on the way home. Here in Central America anything else is likely junk.

Worked as advertised during my first cook with it tonight.

Only two negatives Ive found so far: you can only increment alarm values in ascending order...so must cycle all the way around to set a lower number. 2, can't fathom how they intended the clip for the grill temp to work. Most have two parallel legs that clip between bars of the grate, but this one has two thin flat legs that lay against each other???

Other than that...way cool.

 

[BaylessBrewer]

Not sure that you can place the grill temp sending unit in the heated chamber? I just stand it up and place it on top of my smoker. Also if it's raining put a ziplock over the sending unit. It's not waterproof

Smoked some venison this weekend. Sirloins and some steak we cut up and made Philly cheesesteaks with. It was awesome. My wife who has a 'thing' against eating deer was pumped about it. Some DAMN good venison....

 

[FloppyKnockers]

It's been dumping 80 million gallons of liquid bulls**t here lately. This weekend, however, it's supposed to be dry. I'm going to take this opportunity to cook a traditional Christmas dinner of baby back ribs, mashed potatoes, bacon-wrapped tater tots, and a whole lotta beer.

This year has been mostly mild, it's just been the last few weeks, it's poured and flooded a ton. Usually we get a dreary rain or overcast, this year we broke record rainfall for december.....and there's a week left.

Thoughts/help on smoking turkey

 

[Dixon9717]

I like to inject turkeys before smoking them. Some people say tent the bird with tinfoil. I don't like doing that. It helps to turn the skin rubbery. I prefer cherrywood or any fruit wood is good. After smoking I like to put it into a hot oven just long enough to crisp up the skin. Oh yeah sometimes I like to stuff it with quartered oranges. Not to be eaten, removed and thrown away afterwards.

Thoughts/help on smoking turkey

I've made a 13 - 14 lb turkey for thanksgiving the last couple of years and I follow the virtual WSM recipe pretty closely and with great success. A 24-hour brine the night before followed by 3 - 3.5 hours on the WSM and it's good to go. Easy, delicious, and it keeps the kitchen clear so my wife can focus on the sides.

 

[Curtis2010]

Just scored a few pounds of shark (yum)! Planning to cook for dinner. Will post pics later.

Sounds formal and proper.

Did a 9# butt 2 days ago.

Went to pick up a brisket today and none were to be had...[emoji22]

Ended up getting 2 of those corned beef brisket kits. I assume they will smoke ok for Christmas.
