Food and Drink What are you Smoking/Grilling/BBQ'ing this weekend? - Page 207

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.

Yeah I have found you need to run a little hotter and plan for 6 hours minimum more like 7. I'm pretty good at smoking but I'd say I'm happy with my ribs about half of the time and I only do Ferguson cut. Never bought baby backs before honestly. Maybe I will switch it up next time and see how I do.

And I spritz religiously too and that seems to help with ribs and butt for sure.

I like running pork at 275F

4.5-5 hours, no foil works best on my setup for spares. Foil, even just an hour, seems to overcook them on my rig but it obviously seems to work well for others.

I've never even tried to foil them honestly. If I'm gonna foil something then it's going in the oven where I don't have to use charcoal/wood/attention. I try to keep it at 250 but I will bump it up next time and see how it goes.

Plus here's a live look at me 8 beers deep into a rib cook trying to navigate a spent foil pack full of rib juice from my patio to the trash bin

Oh for sure. No good way to throw away drip foil and/or pans.

I purchase and smoked a couple of pounds. I thought they would taste like bacon, but were not as good. Took leftovers and seared in skillet cutting off excess fat. Need recommendations on how to prepare the 1/4 inch strips leftovers I froze.

240 to 275 and it's more like a 3-1.25-.45. I do them kind of like Johnny Trigg except I use some Louisiana Hot sauce Habanero instead of Tiger Sauce, Raw Sugar instead of Brown and then Agave instead of Honey. Don't forget the squeeze butter.

Oh yeah they’re always a winner

Yesterday I made one of the best briskets I have ever tasted. Even the flat was super juicy and just falling apart. It was hard to cut it because it just kept tearing apart.

17.5lbs at 225 for 12.5hrs. I wrapped it at 160F and put some beef broth in the foil and cooked it to 203 then pulled it wrapped in towels and put in a cooler for 2 more hours.

Just incredible. Cant wait to have some left overs tonight.

Don't need to. For babybacks, just do 225 degrees for 5 hours unwrapped. Spray with apple juice every hour and if you want sauce, put it on with 30 minutes left. They will be perfect every time.
