Food and Drink What are you Smoking/Grilling/BBQ'ing this weekend? - Page 125

**BigRedChief** · 07-03-2015, 03:48 PM

What are you up to this weekend?

I finally gave up on my smoker and decided to get a new smoker. I went with a bigger model but less tech. Yes, its a cheater electric smoker. My 3rd one. I need more space to cook, I don't need help getting my smoke and temp right.

I've also never used injection for flavor except for pork butt or other big cuts of meat. I decided to give it a try. I developed my own injection. Basically like the other recipes you have out on the internet but I'm putting the rub in the injection and using sirracchi.

Full results not in yet but my son and I think its the best sausage we have ever had.

No sauce. Marinated the meat overnight. Injected the meat. Slow cooked the ribs and chicken. Baste it with a combo of butter and apple juice. Using a combination of Apple, Mesquite, Cherry and Hickory wood.

I use my Blackstone all the time. It's awesome.

Mine has the rear trap which works perfectly for me but DJLN made a great point in that it might not work the best for everyone.

Nothing fancy today, just smoking some wings and cooking up a batch of bacon wrapped jalepenos on my Weber kettle. I've been smoking meats for about 20 years now and for whatever reason I've never done wings, this will be my first attempt.

Keep the pit right around 300 for 2hr45 - 3hrs with a bit longer actual smoke will get a much more defined smoke ring. I prefer 325 for 2 to 2hr15. I think the final product is much more tender and juicier. Still all the flavor with just less of a smoke ring. Been using pecan as my go-to for wood.

I guess I should have clarified the pics a little better. 1st is the loin when it was pulled from the pit. 2nd After resting from being pulled from pit. 3rd pic is loin sliced. 4th is showing juicy pork. 5th is showing pull apart tender.

Why do people who aren't cooking for competition care about smoke ring so much? It has absolutely nothing to do with smoke flavor.

Good point. And it actually holds true for the competitions too.

Part of the presentation at legit competitions. Pretty stupid really.

the thing i messed up was i was working on my house at the same time and i let the fire die out so the brisket only hit about 190. It was a little tough but had great flavor

190 should be close.

FWIW there are some decent temperature alarms out there. I’d recommed thermoworks. They’re speedy but I haven’t been disappointed.

Because it tastes better with your eyes. Do you eat blindfolded? Maybe I shouldn't ask.

Pulled it too early. That's part of your problem.
