You using an electric smoker or poking coals every half hour like a true bird with a big dick?

Charcoal but it's a kamado so it's pretty efficient and after two overnight smokes went awry I sprung for the digital fan controller thing so now it's mostly just loading it up and then ignoring it for the next 12 hours.

Those big Green egg style ones rock and are super efficient. My offset just eats loving coals when I try to do a brisket.

Yeah I got a large BGE I've had for 7 years or so I think. I kinda wish I had a Kamado Joe though. I don't know from experience but the seal and the hinges on the Kamado Joe's seem like they're a better design and higher quality than what I've got. Maybe the vents also. I'm not sure Kamado Joe even existed in 2012 or 2013 though, I definitely hadn't heard of them.

I just use a gas grill for my grilling needs, but having extra time during quarantine has made me curious about smoking. The BGE and Kamodo grills you guys are talking about look like they're about $1200 though? drat, that is a bit steep for something that I'm not sure how much time I'd have to use after things go back to normal.

Grilled some chicken breast on my non-smoking plebian gas grill last night and made a nice salad with it for lunch today.

If you want to go budget get a big chief electric smoker, reasonably cheap (especially second hand). They only get up to 70C but they're good for adding smoke or before cooking for an hour or so. Also goo for smoking bacon or cold smoking cheese and vegetables.

I wish I had a proper smoker but it does the job.

i have a natural gas grill on my house's top floor patio and i like to bbq chicken and beef ribs on it. its nice. im also reading books and just reread the sprawl trilogy but now im reading altered carbon and not sure what other books have dat willy gibbers cyberpunk feel to them. snow crash is the the ideal path forward, but idk. i kinda want something grim and nebulously alien like willy gibbers must have been in the 70s and 80s but for a more modern time.

I own one of those nice big electric smokers, the kind that automatically feed the pucks in and have a timer, and a big 'oven' component with racks, that you can set the temp on and poo poo?
All programmable, really loving sweet. You can even cold smoke with it really easily.

Hey guess what? The heater element in the cabinet part broke after the first year I bought it and I need to replace it but on my model it's not just some swappable thing like a plug in element or whatever it appears I have to re-solder one in there or some poo poo and I have to take the whole back off the cabinet and there's cheapo insulation and shoddy wiring back there that I have to dick through to do it and plus I loving hate doing wiring because I suck balls at it. I mean, I CAN do it but I'm terrible at even simple stuff and it looks like a blind kid with one hand in his pants tried doing it when I'm done (because that's what I am).

So that's my story about electric smokers they're great to use once.

The expensive ones are expensive because they have 150-400+ pounds of ceramics in them. Which is nice for maintaining temperature due to all the thermal mass but they don't actually insulate any better than double walled insulated steel like a $270 Akorn Kamado. You may need to add something to the Akorn for indirect (barbecue or baking type temps). Not sure. I think the Kamado Joe things come with it but for BGEs its a $100-150 ceramic "plate setter." Some people just use some fire bricks or a secondary grill grate with a pan of water beneath it.

I've been using a little chief (~$50) for years. Use to be my parents. I'd guess its a good 20+ years old. I use it for fish and beef mostly. It'll smoke in about any outside temperature, but won't really dehydrate or cook at winter temps when its 20-30F outside. Has a nice recipe book, gonna try smoking a cheese one of these days.

Edit: batch of beef jerky I posted earlier in the thread:

Well if they didn't want me to order something on April 30 they needed better marketing. Now I feel slightly bad, not bad enough to cancel and reorder the items later though.

I made my tri-tip finally. It was a prepackaged one because it's not a thing out here so no butchers have it. I was lucky to find a store that sold these last year. I found a butcher that sold them a few years ago but it's an hour drive and I'm not going to drive that far for a cheap cut of meat. I took it out at 135F but I must have measured it in the wrong spot somehow because it wasn't pink at all.

Anyway, maybe 6-8 oz of sweet and spicy tri-tip, 1/2 of a large potato with Brummel and Brown yogurt margarine stuff, frozen (steamed) broccoli cuts with some cheese sauce I made with a little velveeta, milk, garlic powder, and pepper. Holy poo poo was all of this salty. The velveeta sure but also the tri-tip.

It came out to around 635 calories. For breakfast I had 2 hard boiled eggs, and for lunch I had a cup of cottage cheese. I had to struggle to eat at least something during the day because of broke brains but after a few energy drinks I pulled off dinner!



Also mowed the lawn for the first time this year.

I made a tri-tip last night that was prepackaged and holy poo poo was it salty. Well I had a lot of leftovers so I chopped it up and made scrambled eggs with tri-tip and cheddar cheese and then bacon in my new air fryer which makes perfect bacon in 7 minutes.




With having the tri-tip chopped up in small pieces and spread out among the eggs it's really really good. I'm quite pleased.

Yeah it's crazy. I thought air fryers were gimmicks but my friend got one and kept talking about it so I said gently caress it and bought one a few weeks ago. So far I like it. I've only used it for bacon and once for chicken though so I really don't have much experience with it. It cooks a hell of a lot faster than I expect so I overcooked the chicken. I'm going to try more stuff in it but dial it back a bit. I can always cook for longer.
