Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Here's something different.

We eat this once or twice a week...

I have been into making Paella for a while and here’s an example being cooking on a WSM. This is a 15-16” paella with 4 trimmed chicken thighs, 25 little necks, 1.5 lb. of spare rib trimmings, and a .5 lb of Linguica. The WSM charcoal ring is great for even hot heat for the paella.

Hey all...it's been a while since I've posted on the forum...anyway...I'm back!

Trying something new today...smoked lamb breast. I've not tried it before so I'm going with a simple oil and salt rub. It's in the smoker right now...will post some pics of the progress.

I stop at Fiesta every time I am through Austin. I love that place, has so many cuts of meat I just can't get down here at the end of I35.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Oh yeah...Fiesta rocks...and it's right around the corner from me. It's the only place I shop.

Cool next time I won't bother with the dry ice, I'll just bring it by to be smoked on the spot. :D

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I love paella!.....man that looks tasty!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Right on!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

You know a San Antonio or Austin double smoke out (meat and cigars) might be a worth wile venture. hmmmm

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

DAMN IT! One more picture and I'm gonna eat the couch. I can't WAIT for the weekend. A big 12lb butt and some racks. Low and slow, that is the tempo. I start with smoke at 180 for a couple hours then bump up the heat to 225 for the rest of the fun. A perfect time to bust out that big 3 hour cigar you've had in the bottom of that humi.:banger I'll get some pics this weekend for you guys.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I was thinking of taking down a Hemingway masterpiece maddy tomorrow morning while I smoke a fatty, sausage, carnitas and whatever else I feel like putting on the cooker.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

A full smoker is a happy smoker. I don't know why the phone made everything blue but oh well:

Re: What's in your smoker?

That looks really good and tasty!:tu

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Just made my first brine. Water (duh) sea salt, LOTS of black pepper (ground), garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, some bay leaves, and a healthy dose of molassas.

Its cooling now, will put in the fridge in a bit to get it real cold before I add the meat to it, then its off for a overnight soak to go on the smoker in the morning.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I normally make my brines with fairly minimal water, enough hot water to disolve the salts and sugars into more of a concentrate than a brine, then dump a ton of ice cubes into them. Ice cubes melt in the hot water, and I now have a instantly chilled brine at about the right concentration. Takes less than 10 minutes from boiling to super chilled and adding meat. :2

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Yeah I thought about that after the fact Adam.. i really wish I had gone that route.

Re: What's in your smoker?

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

So I have been loving my UDS! Anybody have any plans for building a horizontal smoker with a separate wood box? I want to try 'wood smoking' but don't know where to start.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

It all looks good, for what I can see (work is blocking some pics).


I smoke a pair (17.8 Lbs.) of Butts for National Smoke Day that I got pics of, along with a Bacon Explosion (original fattie) and chicken parts (drummies and deboned thighs) that I didn't take pics...

I'll try to offload the Camera tonight and get the pics up!





It was a smokin' good weekend! http://tvwbb.infopop.cc/images/wsmsmile8gm.gif

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

On Saturday I took bone-less Leg O Lamb (costco) rubbed it down w/ Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Cumin, and Smoked Paprika. Drizzled some E.V.O.O over it and Vac-Sealed it overnight.
Put it in @ 210* for 5 hrs until IT of 168*
Used Apple, Alder and Hickory for 3 of the Hrs.

Sauteed Onions, Bell Peppers, Crimini Mushroos and Garlic.

Sliced the Lamb thin, put it on a Sourdough Roll w/ the veggies and a Yogurt, Cilantro, garlic sauce (costco).
Served it up w/ a Greek pasta salad.

Truely Awesome!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I think it is funny that Gonesleddin' shows these cool accessory hooks and all the stuff hanging down.
At MY HOUSE this just puts the utensils in perfect dog-licking range. I wanted so badly to throw a
coupla hooks on my smoker, but sadly, everything stays up top.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

In a related story, I have purchased cream cheese, jal peppers and bacon for some ABTs. In fact I also have some crab meat au gratin put away to add to the ceream cheese, but after coring the damn things, and having the semi-steam of the warm water going down the disposal for only a second, I changed my mind. Up the nose, into the lungs, and now my left nostril is burning 20 mins later. I no longer have the balls for Jals. I ate a bunch in the service during my nacho orgies. But the next day, the price down south is too high to pay. I am not even going to waste my damn bacon. UNLESS MY two guests like peppers and return my email tonight some time.
More for the rest of you.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Try poblano peppers instead. They have a tiny bit of heat but tons of flavor! I think they make better ABT's.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Blasphemy!!! :bx

:D

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Well, as the Gator said, BLASPHEMY! I cooked em up in a little scrunched up foil rack, and they came out tremendously.
Mixed about half crabmeat and half cream cheese, and in the end went with a few tablespoons of grated cheddar.
Creamed that up and stuffed it into the peppers. Wrapped em in bacon and grilled em up. As they say, once the
ribs and seeds are gone, they are not nearly so hot. Great taste, but we'll have to wait til tomorrow to REALLY know
how it went down. ;) Or came out. ;)

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Glad they turned out well Brad. The morning should bring no surprises!!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Had my brothers/bro-in-law over yesterday for some poker....7 lb brisket flat....put it on the drum at 350 fat cap down....1.75 hours til 165 internal...foiled with a drizzle of honey on each side, fat cap up about 1/2 cup beer in the foil, wrapped tight and back on the drum...took the brisket to 190 internal and off the smoker...mixed the "love juice" in the foil with some Sweet Baby Ray's and some rub for a mop...back on the drum no foil and mopped each side about 10 min each to firm up the bark....reduced the mop with some dijon to make a killer sauce.....put some vidalias on the smoker with some sweet potatos....also 2 chubs of pepperoni, slathered and rubbed, great if you never tried it....all the grease renders out and the pepperoni gets "light", real tasty....grilled up some grape tomatoes and mixed with the smoked onions....grilled romaine halves drizzled with olive oil and fig balsamic, salt, pepper and some blue cheese....great dinner but lost my shirt in cards!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Well I like em both ways, but for people who don't like hot stuff, I think poblanos are pretty good! To each their own!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Well, updating....YeeeeeeeOOOWwwww! Oh that hurts. :(
No more for me. I stopped this thirty years ago for good reason apparently.
They were good, though. It ain't the heat in the EAT, it's the slap in the C__p.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

If you a really up for a challenge, I've made them with Habenaros and Red Savina Habenaros. Crab meat stuffing tasted really good in them, as well as a Caribbean citrus kinda thing we messed around with. Not for the faint of heart though!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Killer lookin' eats Keith!!!

Sorry to hear about the "next morning" problems Brad!!!
