Put back in fridge for 6 hours no photo of that stage.

Smoked for 4 hours using hickory chips and walniut hulls ( shells ). Wrapped in foil for an hour to reabsorb the juices:

Come on folks! Some of you must be cooking things outdoors!

[SIZE=14]That looks absolutely scrumtious! I've never used a smoker but I do miss having roast off the grill that has been rotisseried. You just can't get that kind of flavor from oven cooking!

Just because the kids are back in school does not mean you still can not use your outdoor stuff to cook up some quick meals.! Share with us!

Let us here about what you are grilling or smoking!

Hey Shadows!

I've done my share of grilling and love it, but I've never gone the smoker route. Is it pretty easy? What would you recommend in a smoker and how would you suggest getting started?

Posted by: Shadows 24-Apr-2016, 10:33 AM
It is easy just time consuming but well worth it! Anything you can do on a grill can be enhanced by smoking.

You can use your grill to start, then I suggest getting a real smoker, I am not going to recommend anyone brand though.

Are there any books you recommend or would you just "start by doing." I realizw that sometimes it's best just to wing it and see how it goes.

Looking forward to giving this a shot!

I have not found any one book helpful the main thing I got from any I read was to keep your temp steady as you can and for most things that is between 190 and 250°F. The amount of smoke depends on you tastes but heavy smoke for at least the first 2 hours.
The other thing is to invest in a good instant read thermometer. I have a wireless digital one that monitors the temp in the smoker and the food.
Hope this helps you Haynes.

Thanks, Shadows. That does. I have a Bro-in-law who's big into the smoker thing. I have always thought about doing it and you kind of provoked me . . .in a good way!

Thanks, my friend! Have a great day. I'll let you know whenever I get started and how it goes.

My boys ( grown men ) finally got my ramp built so I can use my backyard again. Planing to smoke a small brisket within the next week or so.

During the stay at home orders should leave time for you guys to start up your grills and smokers, let us see what you have been cooking.

Ok here we go again: SMOKE AND GRILL TIME!

Posted by: Shadows 17-Jun-2021, 12:30 PM
Today I am attempting to smoke some cheddar cheese, never tried it before so I will let you know how it turns out.

Posted by: Shadows 02-Apr-2022, 12:24 PM
Did a large batch of smoked chorizo links last week, turned out great.

The cheese I attempted to smoke turned out OK but oily I will use quality cheese ( real ) next time instead if bargain brand.
