What better way to please dad then to grill or smoke some big slab of meat for him on Fathers Day!? What are you cooking? |

Here is the Pork Loin I smoked on fathers day. I used a brine of water, brown sugar, sugar, salt, cayenne and beer Brined for 18 hours. In brine: I used a wet rub of brown sugar, paprika, suger, cayenne, beer and wet mustard ( spicy brown ). 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: Out of the smoker: Sliced #1 #2 I am not happy with the composition of these, one of the girls moved back in and she leaves messes on the counters! comments and edits welcome!. |

[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! |

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. |

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. |
