Smoking

[RockRash]

So who else is smoking some meat on this fine Saturday afternoon? I put this on about 2 hours ago it probably has another 8 or so to go.

Woot! Add a pic in about 7 hours when that baby is rendered down, fully “barked” and smelling like heaven! No smoker magic today for me, but 3 St.Louis slabs prepped for tomorrow afternoon!

Nice, I will definitely take after pictures. The best part of smoking is enjoying a few beverages and some bowls of good tobacco while you wate. What kind of smoker do you use?

I recently purchased a Camp Chef SGPro pellet smoker and have been trying to get through the learning curve (taste has been excellent, texture not so much...) I also have a custom built barrel smoker by Bobby Y’s in Seville, OH - but the convenience of the pellet smoker is winning me over for mid-week meals.

I have been really considering a pellet smoker for the convenience. I have a old offset that I use all the time. It works great you just have to babysit it the entire time. I just recently started using the snake method on my webber. It's not nearly as labor intensive as the offset but I cant seems to get the temperature lower than 275ish.

My neighbour keeps harassing me about my charcoal BBQ about once a month. I think it's mostly because his wife is a vegetarian and seems to be a complete hard ass, which transfers in to a "talk" once in awhile from him after he's put up with her bullshit for long enough.

I just smile, repeat how superior charcoal to gas is, and change the subject... because he's an otherwise nice guy.

I BBQ salmon fairly often on a cedar plank and toss in wood chips of cedar throughout cooking. Gets a nice smoky flavour. Not really smoking the salmon, but a quarter of the way there, I suppose.

I'm going to burn some sausages tonight and light up a smoky bowl of something with latakia in it. Send her over the edge...

I have a Weber which looks like yours - but have never smoked meat in it. I use it in the summer for very occasional barbecue

About half way there

We love cedar plank salmon we have it all the time

Oh baby, that looks goood. I've thought about putting a small tin with a virginia flake on a cedar plank while tossing in some wood chips to see if the cedar would transfer to the tobacco. I'd had a few drinks by that point and never got to it... but I still haven't forgotten about it.

Looks like we have the same BBQ. I was going to upgrade to a green egg, maybe for bread and pizza, but I can't bring myself to let my current BBQ go. 20+ years and it's still working like a champ.

Ya I've considered upgrading to a green egg or similar. But same as you I've had this Weber for 15 years and at this point its almost like family lol
