Don’t cook a lean piece of beef to 200 degrees ever.

E. Also don’t add smoke honestly. 3 hours of smoke will make a beautiful piece of meat taste like an ashtray.

I'm curious about this, when you smoke a chicken or salmon for 3 hours it doesn't come out like an ashtray. Why would it make the tenderloin bad here?

So:
I already bought it, so I have to use it
I can't make it inside, the wife is pregnant and any extended smells inside make her sick.
The only outside cooker I have is the smoker
I have to cut it because the mbs isn't wide enough without folding it

I smoke filets before grilling virtually every time I cook them, and they’re loving delicious.

It shouldn’t take 3 hours for a whole tenderloin to reach 115. At 225, it should take like 90 minutes. As a whole muscle, I’d be worried about getting ENOUGH smoke flavor, not oversmoking.

They aren’t saying don’t smoke it, they’re saying don’t take it all the way to 200 degrees because it will be tough chewy and totally dried out.

Source: Was wanting to do poor man’s burnt ends with Chuck roast to save money, only to find out that Chuck roast had gotten ungodly expensive for some loving reason, but they had sirloin tip roasts which I’d never cooked before on BOGO sale so I tried that. Two sirloin tip roasts went in the trash that night after sitting on the smoker all afternoon!

E: also probably wouldn’t really sweat cutting it to fit it on the smoker, I don’t see that as a problem either

E: Phil said not to.

Anyways: I did smoke it, cut in half and pulled at 130. I did need to cut it to fit. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
Then the wife left for the day (!!!) so I got to sear it and while everything was good the seared section was The Best Ever.

I smoked a beef tenderloin once. Did a couple chunks, maybe 45 minutes worth. It just overwhelmed the meat in my opinion. Maybe if you really want smoke flavored filet, go ahead. Beef tenderloin is such a great piece of beef, it was disappointing. Since then I stick to roasting. But one chunk probably won’t be end of the world if that’s what you really want.

Yeah I’d never smoke a tenderloin. If you want the mid rare and smoke combo go tri tip.

Tri-tip is good for that vibe, picanha is very similar and also good.

If I'm going to smoke a steak it's going to be a ribeye. Either the steak version or the whole shebang.

Tri tip might be my favorite cut to sous vide, but this isn't the thread for that :v:

I basically reverse sear to medium rare on my Weber kettle with a chunk of wood on the coals.

I have to vacuum mine a lot.

I started with an MES and smoke tube but didn’t get great results.

Moved onto a WSM and got great results with a fire board but sometimes things got too much smoke on them and it was a pain to reload charcoal for a long cook, in addition to cleaning out ashes.

Got a camp chef DLX and loving love it. Just enough smoke, has a smoke ring on everything, easy to monitor and clean up since I can get some ashes through the catch can underneath, but even after like 2 smokes I’ve seen a ton of ash to vacuum out. Probably the only thing I don’t like is hauling the shop vac out to clean it all the time.

my smoker sits to the side of my garage that also houses my shop vac so it's easy to do.

I've just started using a "smoke tube" for my smokes on the Pellet grill, we'll see how the pulled pork comes out, I always feel a little light ion the smoke for pulled pork so we'll see how this does when I eat it on lunch.

Chicken wings are actually on sale. I've only ever made them via Alton Brown's fridge method in the oven. Anyone have suggestions or can point me to something involving smoking them? Is it worth it?

I’ve smoked wings a few times and I still usually have to finish them in the oven or the skin gets rubbery.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...
I’ll smoke then broil them to crisp up the surface or on a kamado you can just indirect them at a really high temp.

It’s good but I don’t think it’ll ever beat frying them.

I use a vortex on my Weber kettle and use a chunk of smoker wood over the center and they turn out amazing, here's a video from Malcolm Reed on it: https://youtu.be/y9kC1rCIDHg

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



My method is an overnight dry brine in the fridge, put em on the smoker and in the last 15 minutes or so crank the heat up to crisp the skin before basting/tossing in sauce. Works like a charm and never any rubbery skin.

This seems very similar to Alton Brown fridge method. Probably just go this route as it'll work best with my equipment.

I do use the corn starch because the Boss is gluten intolerant, if she wasn't I'd likely use traditional flour, but I haven't done it that way myself tbh.

I smoke em for like an hour then crank up the temps (when I had a smoker id toss em on the grill, with my pellet smoker i just turn the knob to like 450) and finish them by painting them with bbq sauce and they're delicious.
