Makes me think of The Blues Brothers when their car falls apart after the last ride. :D

Very nice Jason!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I've had a 1lb chuck roast sitting in the freezer for a few months (it was what remained after I cut up a larger one for stew meat) with no idea what to do with it. I'm making a pot of chili tomorrow so I decided to smoke it, put it in the fridge overnight, and cube it up tomorrow to go in the pot.

I rubbed it with chili powder, red hatch chile powder, cayenne, smoked paprika, coriander, cumin, and s&p. Into the smoker with a chunk of red oak courtesy of a friend down the street who had a tree in his yard removed due to damage from hurricane Zeta. It stalled at 155, so I put it in a tray with some homebrewed jalapeno-lime lager, wrapped it, and took it to 190.

Nice James!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Yes please!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I "think" I've eyeballed the ingredients, but how long/time did you leave that on for..... LOOKS FANTASTIC!!!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I honestly don't remember. pretty much until the cheese was melted and the veggies were soft. It was good though!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Mojo criollo marinated pork leg. Just put on about 15 minutes ago. Going to roll at 225 for a few hours then bump it to 275-300 to finish.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

If there are no photos when it's finished I might cry. :D:D

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

3 hours in. IT is 41F. Gonna take a while. Lol.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

And the finished product. Pulled it at 159. Cut from the bone, sliced and chopped.

After many years of faithful service, my Stoker BBQ controller $hit the bed.
Come to find out, Rock's BBQ, that makes the Stoker, went out of business this year. :(
I looked at the various digital controllers out there, and settled on the Fireboard 2 Drive.
I say settled because none of the controllers offered everything I was looking for.
That said, the Fireboard checked the most boxes, and offered the right options for my needs.
Seems really simple to use. Going to try my first cook tonight.
Anyone else running with a Fireboard 2? Any thoughts or tips?
Thanks in advance.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Also, if anyone is still running a Stoker, I have a bunch of new probes, fans, and fan adapters if anybody wants them, plus some used ones.
I also have the Stoker itself, if anyone wants to take a shot at getting back up.

I'm making Carnivorous Bastards' Smoked Pork Chile Verde. I'm using a three-pound chunk from a Boston Butt.

Rubbed and ready for the smoker:

After an hour+ at 325F just to get a little bark going, in a pan with some home made salsa verde before getting covered and put back in the smoker to bring it up to 195F.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...af912300_z.jpg

Chopping it up before putting it in with the pan juices to simmer for an hour or so. It actually got a bit of a smoke ring. Tastes great. Going to serve it later with tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, and lime wedges along with some home made refried beans.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Bump. LMK if anybody wants these. I'm going to toss them after the weekend.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Threw some ribs in the brick oven just for fun.
Pellet maze for smoke and the residual heat to cook with.
They had a decent smoke flavor, but they were overdone. Not dry, just fall off the bone and a little mushy.
I think without a live heat source, I didn't get the pullback I'm used to, so I left them in too long.
Certainly not the best ribs I've done, but they'll eat.

OMG Dom, :dr :dr :dr

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Dom, how long did you cook them?

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

About an hour. Pit Barrel runs at around 310 degrees.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Looks awesome. Sorry for the stupid question, but what's picanha?

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I believe it's a type of sirloin steak.
Popular in Brazil, and served sliced off the spit in Brazilian steakhouses.
I have heard it called Coullet (SP?) and sirloin cap.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

around here Restaurant depot sells them as sirloin caps, 2 to the package.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Picanha is a sirloin cap. I live in one most densely popular Brazilian immigrant communities in the US. We buy picanha's all the time. I look for the smallest ones since it's just two of us. Maybe a friend comes over too for one too?

Best to cook as a roast. One Brazilian super market in town also has grass fed one's from Australia or NZ. Not too grassy tasting either. I crank the WSM as hot as I can get it with no water pan. If I cannot get it to 375, I just cook it to around 100 F or so and then finish it n the oven. The kitchen smells amazing if you do that technique.

Alcatra is another Brazilian sirloin cut that is worth looking for.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Can you get Kupim (sp?) , the hump of the bull? Tried it once in Brazil. Interesting texture.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

https://www.tasteatlas.com/cupim

Pretty sure we can get that at the store or it's served at the many Brazilian churrascarias in town.

This place is really popular in my town. Everyone goes there. From construction workers to models.

Thanks, everyone!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I host a "retreat" for pastors at my "cabin" in September. We do some fishing in the morning, and a Seminary Professor who comes us teaches us in the afternoons.

While I grill handcut ribeyes for supper on Tuesday, I will be doing smoke a few things for our "lunch" meat.

1 - a whole brisket
2 - a pork butt roast
3 - a venison butt roast.

I have a rub for each, then I will smoke them (probably at the same time) for about 3 hrs, and then finish them (slow cooked in my own wrap sort of like finishing brisket) for another 8 hours in the oven.

I will try to remember to do pictures of: 1) pre-smoke/post-rub; 2) post-smoke; 3) finished and/or cut up for serving.

Yeah, I saw this here and had to post my plans.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Walking around Costco yesterday, came across Kirkland smoker pellets.
Never seen them before. It's a blend of oak, hickory, maple, and cherry.
The bag says 100% natural wood, I grabbed 120 lbs to try them out.
Anyone have any experience with them? Any reviews on the flavor?
I'll report back after I run through about half of them and share my thoughts.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

One of the things I, and my entire family, miss the most having moved into an RV, is my smoker. It's just too big to bring along. It's currently in storage.

We're kicking around the idea of my wife pulling an enclosed trailer behind her van (I pull the 5th wheel with my truck). This would allow us some extra room for things, possibly including my smoker. We'll see.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I still haven't tried these, BTW.

Did a Thor's Hammer for the 4th.
It's essentially a tomahawk rib roast, but it looks cool as hell and gets a lot of gawking stares and more than a few comments.

Just some salt, pepper, and garlic for the seasoning.

Two racks of ribs on the stick burner today. They came out great, almost gone never enough.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Holy fvck... That's not Dom... That's like Dc. Where the hell did the other half of him go?

Looking good bro.
