Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I did 4.5 hours in a 250F smoker. Then about 15 mins on a med hot grill to carmelize the mop. I put the honey in the mop, which thickened it a tad and made it stick better for the time on the grill. I thought I had sambal olek to use in the mop, but I guess I didn't buy a bottle, so I used sriracha.

pork shoulder and 2 chuck roasts for dinner tomorrow after we move into our new house.

Love me some chuckies!!

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

This thread makes me hungry:D

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

My first pulled pork.
Huge thunderstorms made me pull it a little earlier than planned but it was awesome. A real hit with the family. Used the magic dust rub and then threw the rest into the sauce. Fresh buns and some great coleslaw rounded it out.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

At the stae fair-get me out of here as Traeger is here.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Nice.

Curious, what is that laying on top of the butt?

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Skin and fat. Kept the pork nicely basted as it smoked.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

No kidding! :dr

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Thanks, kind of what I would have figured, but it looking like a cut rectangle of something that was placed there made me wonder.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I had a magic moment with some pulled chuckie this week. I threw it in a bowl and heated up the meat. Poured some Sweet Baby Ray's on it and crumbled a couple of corn muffins on top. Man what a lunch!!!:noon

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

dang that sounds awesome...bro your killing me

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

New project that was given to me. I guess its one of the walmart brand side firebox smokers, but hey it was free adn ive been wanting something of this nature.

Now to start cleaning it up, doing a few mods and fixing a few rust issues its got going on.

What do you guys recommend I do with the inside? Just clean it up adn get rust out or is there a spray/paint i need to put in there?

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Hit the rust with a wire brush and then cook some pork in that thang!! That is all the seasoning it needs:tu

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

There are high temp paints you can use on the inside, but if the metal isn't prepped properly (exceptionally clean and free of all oils and greases) they won't adhere properly, so if you go that route, you will probably be in for a bit of work unless you have a sandblaster and a case of spray brake cleaner handy.

Me, I wouldn't even worry about the inside of the firebox. For the cook chamber, I'd just clean the excess rust off by hand with a brass wire brush as not to destroy any existing coatings, then get a can of spray oil (like PAM), spray it down and start a fire in the firebox, and cook something.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Thanks guys I think that's gonna be the plan, derust it and cook away

Found this good deal on a Char-Broil. Same one I have. Just need to order the side box

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

As stated before, get the rust out, then spray with pam. I usually use the high temp Pam that's ment for use on a grill. On my big Lang, the few times that I've had to re-season, I have picked up a can of lard, heated the thing up a bit, and then slathered it up. Now THAT'S a party! :noon

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Any paint you guys recommend on the outside? I got a few things I gotta fix up, the vent door on the fire box is rusted to a point of falling apart and inoperable so going to fashion together a new one. Also going to mod the exhaust tube a bit so that it holds a more smoke in the cooking chamber.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Clean the excess rust off, liberally spray it with brake cleaner to remove any oil, hit it with Ospho, then high-temp paint. The easiest brands to find will be either Krylon or Rust-Oleum as both offer high-heat paint products in spray cans, Rust-Oleum also comes in quarts.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Lots of plans for the smoker this weekend.
A couple of racks of ribs, mac & cheese, and some more beef jerky.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

How are you mod'ing the stack?

I have a piece of rolled flashing stuck inside my small offset. That way I can lower it down to the cooking grate level. I also have a section of water heater flue that I can put on the end of the stack (outside) to add a little hieght to it. This helped with the draw and gives me a more consistant heat.

Inside extension (on the right)

The inside extension is what I was planning on. I an going to put two tempguages on the cooking chamber one on each end to get an idea of intake and exit temps. May have to put the stack on the top like you did to even it out.

Hehe...you sure did.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

lots of good looking meat

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I got a nice pack of those sliced short ribs yesterday, I have been getting into them lately, they are just
so sweet and musky tasting, perfect with some smoke and fried out fat taste. MMMmmm. Too much.
I might even try a small brisket too this weekend. Lots of meat in the fridge. Plus I am looking at some
stuffed mirlitons, some say Chayotes, some like me say melley-tahn! Stuffed with the flesh of the squash
itself, some bread crumbs, shrimp and a little diced andouille. Now THAT will require a photo.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

17 pounds of Butt! (2 butts). Combination of Hickory, Pecan and Apple woods for heat and smoke. Apple and hickory from my property. Pecan from a friend who has a grove, and always has a limb or two down each year, that gets put back for smoker needs.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Man need to smoke something this weekend, you guys are killing me

Who's the chick Sville, is it Vida? Man those are looking good

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I'm doing 2 slabs of ribs tomorrow.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

Pork shoulder has been on since 8 this morning :D Can't wait for some pulled pork sandwiches later! First run using turbinado sugar

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

2 racks of beef ribs and about a dozen chicken wings. Film at 11.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

OK, pulled the wings after crisping the skin, left the beef ribs to slow cook, and then accept some SBR sauce.
Here are the preliminary photos. Man, meat is so high these days, looks like the good old days are mostly over.
I think this "two rack" cryo which is really only one rack cut down it's length, was 13 bucks. Not good for a cut
that is notoriously lacking in meat.

One more of the finshed products
