Since Mackieman keeps talking about my electric smoker (I too have the 40" MES), I guess I should post some picutres. I do not have many right now since most the images are on my computer at home, but here is some of the things I have done recently that I have on my phone, and or still on the internets.        I have a lot more poo poo I have done, but for now that is all.

Nosthula posted:Bone_Enterprise that food looks amazing. No though it should not take long, would say try ham as that does not take long either, but you mentioned you want something different. Maybe try some rack of lamb ribs, or a leg of lamb (what my last three pictures were of), then serve it up with some rosemary garlic potatoes, and asparagus.

LTBS posted:They do it Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. I bought 200lbs last labor day. I think I need to stock up on some more. Home Depot is doing 2 x 13.9 LB (27.8 LB) bags for $5.88, so 2 x 5.88 = $11.76 = 55.6 LB. Think I may hit up Home Depot. At least this is going by the ad on the website for my store.

We started off Monday with 2 failed attempts at a cold smoker out of his two grills and a garbage can, and a 3rd attempt which actually worked. We then smoked some cheese in it, and made a Bacon Explosion in my WSM, which was meh, but looked really cool. Here is the setup: This right here.

Will be brining my turk here for Thanksgiving in the 'cajun' style brine I like to use, then making a compound butter to stuff underneath the skin before smoking, always comes out amazing.

Yeaaah, it is about time for me to do another batch of cheese, has been a while since I have done it. Usually acquire cheese from http://www.veldhuizencheese.com/ and smoke it up when I make mine.

It is that time of year again to hit up your local Lowes/Home Depot and stock up on charcoal for the year, not the normal $8.99 deal like it use to be but still good: Lowes: Kingsford 2-Pack 20-lb (40lb) Charcoal Briquettes = $9.99 (Prices Valid 05/22/2014 - 05/28/2014) Home Depot: Kingsford 2-Pack 20-lb (40lb) Charcoal Briquettes = $9.88 (Prices Valid 5/22/2014 - 6/01/2014) Lowes is limiting the deal to two twin packs per customer, as mentioned already they are letting people get more however. Home Depot has a limit of 10 bags per person. *edit* Updated with Home Depots price Bone_Enterprise fucked around with this message at 12:15 on May 22, 2014 |

The limit is apparently not in place if you order online and pick up in store as far as I can tell, want to confirm by placing an order but want to wait and see what Home Depot's price is tomorrow.

DJCobol posted:The limit was in place last year technically, and after going through twice, the cashier just told me to grab as much as I wanted and don't worry about the "limit". Ended up with 400 lbs of charcoal in the back of my Subaru. Nice, that is going to be me today as I plan on getting 10 bags as well. Home Depot is doing $9.88 a bag as per the update to my post, was hoping they would go a dollar lower, but hey was planning on buying it anyhow.

Plan on making up some pulled pork for the first time on Saturday, will be smoking up 2 x 8.5# butts. I have always been a firm believer in, "if you need sauce on bbq, then it was not done right," however I see pulled pork as an exception to that as I generally apply that rule to brisket, ribs, chicken, etc. What are some good finishing sauces you have found to mix in after doing the initial pulling of the pork? (if any at all) What are some good sauces that you have found to use on the pork for serving on the sandwiches and or straight up on the meat? I HATE sauces that have distinctive vinegar profiles to them, however would like to have a good two or three sauces options for people to choose from, I will be one of a few cooks preparing food for around 43 people or so, so while I don't like vinegar themed/flavored sauces I am sure others that are eating will, shoot me some ideas! My plan is using Meatheads (from amazingribs.com) rub for the butts I am going to be smoking: 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar 3/4 cup white sugar 1/2 cup paprika 1/4 cup garlic powder 2 tablespoons ground black pepper 2 tablespoons ground ginger powder 2 tablespoons onion powder 2 teaspoons rosemary powder 1/2 teaspoon salt per pound of meat

Trastion posted:As for the sauce to use I can't really help you because I still just use bottled stuff. I like Sweet Baby Rays Hot & Spicy but I keep a few other kinds on hand along with a ton of other non-bbq sauces. I may end up doing store bought myself, may not have time to make up three separate batches of stuff.

blk96gt posted:What's the general opinion of the Masterbuilt series of electric smokers? I've been wanting to pick something up for smoking brisket and chicken with the occasional turkey. Basically just looking for something easy that I can set and forget without much fuss. If I want to have the whole cooking with fire experience I'll use my old man's Pitts and Spitts smoker. Trastion posted:I have a MB 40" electric and love it because it is set it and forget it. However you will NOT get crispy skin on poultry. Though you can throw it on the grill or in a pan to crisp the skin. I just use the small wood chips (I am not sure of the brand) that I got off Amazon. I have looked into the AMPS but haven't decided to do that yet. Pretty much what Trastion said, I have a 40" as well and it has served me fairly well, and I have made tons of tasty poo poo in it. One thing I can not recommend enough is no matter where you buy it, BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY!, some people have gone years without anything happening to theirs, some less than a year, some just a few months, the few extra bucks is worth the peace of mind, the heating element went out on mine and had to be replaced with my extended warranty, also the first unit I got went out in eight months before I got that one. That being said I have the AMPS, the Tube Smoker, and the original AMNS and these things are amazing, also serve as a great time saver since you don't have to reload the chip tray every 30~40 minutes or whatever the gently caress it is. I honestly never got the hang of using the pellets and have stuck with using the sawdust, think my problem was not initially lighting it long enough for it to keep a good enough coal bed to last the entire cook. Todd is pretty awesome, and you should buy his product(s) is pretty much what I am trying to say.

Trastion posted:Which one of those (AMPS, etc) would you suggest I buy? I want to increase the smoke flavor/ring if possible. Which seems to work the best for you with the 40"? You are not going to get much of a smoke ring, if any at all in an electric smoker, that being I prefer the AMPS (that way you have the option of sawdust or pellets,) I have the 6x8 that I use in mine. The tube smoker works better in gas grills.
