Favorite thing to smoke...didnt do it until I moved west
Smoked my first tri tip tonight. Questioning what took me so long...so good.
Doing my first overnight Friday of pork and brisket for Saturday's tailgate and it's going to dip into the low 20s.....why am I doing this?
Going to try and seal up as much as possible and hope I don't have temperature issues - my #1 concern every time
What type smoker are you using?
Here is a tip for you. Don't live in a place where it gets down into the low 20s in early November.
i like to smoke ribs (usu. St. Louis cut pork spareribs) because they don't take as long as bigger cuts and are delicious when done right. However my last couple attempts on my new smoker have not come out well. The one I'm using is basically 2 hours at 300, then foil for one hour, rest 15, put back on to glaze for 30. the ribs have been coming out somewhat burned and generally overdone, so much so that I didn't bother with the last step on my last attempt because they clearly didn't want more heat.
Next time I'm thinking I'll do 2 hours at 275 before the foil and see what happens. Thoughts? Anybody here have a foolproof recipe?
An offset similar to this. The firebox doesn't have the greatest seal around the middle so I'm going to attack it with titanium exhaust wrap and high temp sealant
Funny, we did a Prime Rib roast on a green egg, with twice baked potatoes and spinach as well a few days ago. It was ridiculous.
I'm baffled that something like that doesn't exist yet. I wonder how well it works, considering almost every grill/smoker is essentially a Faraday cage. I'll buy in on the second or third iteration of this thing for sure.
That's either
1) A legit cool kickstarter thing
2) They haven't worked out how not to torch the device
I mean, the reason that doesn't exist isn't because nobody's ever thought of it. It's because designing an affordable transmitter that your blazing hot grill won't fry to a crisp after a few dozen uses is difficult. Especially when you combine it with enclosing it in a steel box.
I'm always wary of kickstarter things that are obvious ideas with extremely difficult technical hurdles.
Ha, it took them 3 years, but I finally received an email that the Meaters have shipped. They allowed me to trade my original offer of the block and two probes into two of the Meater +, which is a newer version with extended WIFI range. I'm looking forward to finally giving these things a test drive this weekend.
Is it pretty easy to smoke on a Kettle? Would like to foray into it but don’t want to have to buy a smoke without having tried it a few times.
