Wrap a tenderloin in bacon and smoke it at 250-275, until its 150 or so, and it is amazing. You can stuff it with just about anything you can imagine also.

I have a prime rib roast drying in the fridge. Is it worth smoking prime rib, or should I just roast it as normal?

I. M. Gei posted:Is it even possible to smoke a chicken or turkey without the whole thing turning black on the outside and looking burned? Of course, of the dozens of chickens and turkeys I've smoked over the years not one has looked burnt. They're all a beautiful deep reddish-brown. The only time I get some blackening is when I throw a chicken breast-side down directly over the coals to really supercrisp that skin.

here's that turkey after ~4 hours on the PBC. this is how most poultry I've grilled/smoked/PBC'ed comes out- decidedly not burnt looking

I suspect mine ended up pretty burny looking thanks to too much sugar in the rub, but I'd have to do more for science to really see.

Vulture Culture posted:When a rib roast takes on too much smoke, it develops flavors that, IMO, mask the best flavors of the beef, but a little bit of smoke gives it an awesome boost, especially if you obliterate the outside with salt. I'll usually give it 2 hours of smoke and finish in the oven. Yeah, that's a good point. We ended up smoking for 1 hour and finishing in the oven at 225. With a black pepper and rosemary rub, the bark was amazing, slightly reminiscent of corned beef... It was good, but you're right, the prime rib itself stands out on its own and probably doesn't gain as much from smoking.

Looks like Home Depot might be not carrying my go-to Royal Oak Lump Charcoal anymore. What's another recommendation for a BGE-style smoker/cooker? I'm in SoCal which isn't exactly prime BBQ country so bonus points if it's available nationwide.

If you’re a costco member the Vision grills are basically a BGE with all the major accessories for half the cost. Other warehouse clubs may have similar Kamado style things. Restaurant Depot has Royal Oak all the time in my areas and has the best price outside of HD Lowe’s holiday weekend sales.

Every local mom-and-pop I check around Long Island has a ton of charcoal options, always including lump, and most of them also carry a few varieties of smoke woods. If your options are really limited to just big-box (I lived in Watertown, NY once where this was definitely the case), the Frontier stuff that BJ's sells isn't awful.

So I'm trying to make some smoked salt and smoked peppercorns as gifts and after 6 hours on the smoker neither are taking on much flavor or aroma. I'm using a Weber Smokey Mountain and apple wood. Both are in chafing pans and I stirred about every hour for six hours. I'm thinking of trying it again but with some moisture in the pans. Any other suggestions or tips?

Any other suggestions or tips? When I did my smoked sea salt a couple years ago I just put shallow pans with salt in with my other things I was smoking but it seemed like I had to put the same salt in during multiple smokes to get a good color and smokey taste. I think most of the lighter smoke flavors like Apple were in for close to 12+ hours total. Sriracha with Hickory smoke was good and probably took the least amount of time for both color and taste of smoke. Edit: I was using a MES without a AMAZEN at the time tho so it might be quicker now that I have the AMAZEN.

If you don't figure this out, you can just make some taco bell salt. https://skillet.lifehacker.com/make-taco-bell-salt-with-leftover-sauce-packets-1828393224

Question about re-heating brisket: I want to smoke a brisket for a party next Sunday, but I don't really want to be at the whim of the gods when it comes to timing. My thinking is that I smoke it to finish sometimes Saturday afternoon/evening, and then cut it into a few pieces, vacuum seal it, ice bath, fridge. On Sunday I'd reheat it for an hour (2 hours?) at 200F with my SV circulator. Am I going to get weird texture or anything? I'm sure I'll lose some juice to the process, even if I'm gentle with the vacuum sealing, but I can live with that. E: https://www.foodfirefriends.com/how-to-reheat-brisket/#how-to-reheat-brisket-using-sous-vide-technique makes it sound like I'm probably going to want to have it reheat for like 6 hours. I wonder if I should just leave it at temp in the SV overnight instead. Will it get mushy? Subjunctive fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Dec 12, 2018 |

It's freaking GREAT.

I’ve done pork butts twice doing ~40 hours SV followed by smoke. I got some bark with a couple hours (especially since you don’t need to go low temp for this application) and my guests noted some smoky flavor. Could have been a placebo effect though.

Smoked tomatoes question. Twice now I've tried to make a smoked bloody mary mix and both times i've been met with very off putting flavors. First trial smoked a can of whole peeled roma tomatoes over applewood for about 2 hours. The second attempt I roasted them first and then cold smoked them with apple pellets for about 2-3 hours. Both times they created very off putting flavors. Could it be the aluminum pans I'm using? Right now that's my only theory.
|
# ? Dec 17, 2018 16:01 |

this is possible, aluminum pans aren't the greatest to cook tomatoes / tomato sauce due to the aciditiy, maybe try again with a "non-reactive" pan. I'm assuming it's not an anodized pan, you're just using the toss away aluminum pans which are probably leeching poo poo flavors into tomatoes that are being cooked for multiple hours in them. tater_salad fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Dec 17, 2018 |

Stop smoking lovely canned tomatoes, use fresh ones and cut them in half, and stop cooking acidic food in aluminum.

I already have a maverick dual probe remote thermometer. I'm pretty much OK on probes.. So, more fan talk - I really like the mobile aspect of the PartyQ, however being in Canada I've done my fair share of sub-freezing cooks and I wonder if the PartyQ fan is up to the task of the extra work. I also wonder how important the self-learning feature is of the DigiQ. The ability for the controller to learn your smoker and adapt seems like a gimmick, but maybe it's a great thing?
