Smoking question of the day.
Nov 12, 2020, 12:46 PM
|
|
I don't really have one today since the bacon is curing in the fridge and sausage is at least a weekend away, but I think we should talk bbq every day.
So, what are some of YOUR backyard bbq concerns?

I'm having trouble in all this damp keeping my pellets dry. I have 5 gallon buckets with the gasket lids that usually work but this year the damp is too much. Any solutions?
And before you challenge my manhood over a pellet smoker, the charcoal for my UDS that I made myself is also disintegrating.

Maybe get some of those silicone packets and toss in the storage bin?

The vinegar pepper sauce? I love that also. They call that the eastern Carolina sauce.

because they thought he was too big for his britches. And then he got hired by an investment group out of charleston and they made him even more famous - but they also made him fairly rich.

with a reverse sear, but he used smoke on them during the low temp part. I've never done that before but I will try it at least every once in a while. The steaks were brilliant.

Nov 12, 2020, 1:52 PM

and it's superior to any other method, barring the meat being very thin (lol, poor people)
for srs...reverse sear in the smoker, then toss in the firebox.
sometimes i'll mix it up and put the cast iron in the fire box and toss some butter in that ##### before i sear it for a couple minutes.
issue with that is i'm lazy and then I have to clean it

Prolly right. Lower the temp, and double the time.

Older I get, the louder the kids get, the more nagging the wife gets, the more I have come to appreciate cooking low and slow on the grill. Drink more bourbon that way is a plus/plus.

I'm all about variety when it comes to burgers. I enjoy

a big ol' honkin' juicy burger, aww yeah! But also I will switch it up sometimes and make smashed burgers. Smashed burgers you say? What the h e 1 1 is that?
I usually make'em a bit smaller in diameter than regular burgers cause they're just easier to handle on the grill or in the cast iron, plus you can mix up topping and have more than one burger. Anyhoo, take you a little ball of ground meat (I will occasionally grind some brisket, rib meat, or even pork to add to the ground beef...flavor depth, yo) and smash that mutha down flat on a cookie sheet. Smash'em all out flat, thin as you want and throw'em in the freezer uncovered, let'em stiffen up a bit.
30minutes/hour/whenever later, pull'em out, season them and throw'em on a HOT grill or cast iron. They cook fast as flies farkin'...like a minute a side. Pull'em off, rest a minute, make juicy burger without worrying if it's done in the middle. I do these a lot if we're serving a bunch of folks, have lotsa topping varieties and/or have picky a s s people coming to dinner. I don't take no complainin' at the chef.

How does that happen? I have been using grill and smokers all my life and have never had that happen.

Who's the best BBQer on the youtubes?

I'm inclined to say Malcom Reed, but Meat Church has been growing on me.
Yesterday I heard about the money muscle for the first time. Seems like way too much work for a little piece of meat, but it's fun to say money muscle.

How do I find time to cure, smoke and grill
Nov 12, 2020, 1:09 PM
|
|
all the meat that I want to cook? How do I go about storing all of the equipment as for about 4 months a year, its tough to get grills up to temp and to keep them up to temp.
Time is really the main thing that I need.

or any Kamado grill would work. I would think the insulated nature of those grills would help keep the temp up for grilling.

but only takes up 40 hours a week.
Step 2. Have the kids be a bit older and self sufficient.
Step 3. Build an outdoor kitchen that will slightly insulate the cooker from the elements.
Step 4. Get a blanket for the smoker to help insulate it. Also some fire brick could help hold the temp.

I use my grill, smoker and so on several times a week. Smokers just put your stuff in and check on it in 4-12 hrs. It takes less time than using an oven.

do you even engineering brah?

c'mon man!!
couple of tips:
1- build you a smoke gazebo to keep everything dry, and a good spot to spark up while the coals get hot
2- get a dried in outdoor storage solution for all smoking equipment, including the bowl and cabbage
3- my solution for cold weather seasons is to line my smoking chamber with bricks. takes a little longer to get the bricks heated up, but they do a good job of holding heat while it's cold outside.
3A- don't be a poor like me and pay up for the egg or kamodo joe
3B- be trailer park like FBCooch and wrap your smoker in a thermal blanket
3c- stop being a ##### and load that ############ up w/ some freshly split wood like a real man
