What's in your smoker?

[lawrand]

Brad, those look amazing! Are they sauces or do you just use a dry rub. I have to try those.

[OLS]

I am not sure what they are called, I used to see em at Chinese restaurants on poo-poo platters. They are just short ribs
cut against the grain. I will look around on search engines and see what they are called outside of what I called em.

As for the exterior, they are simply sprinkled with dry rub and smoked for 45 mins and continuing on with a slow cook for
another hour. They taste as good as they look, PROVIDED you like the taste of beef ribs...some don't. I barely do.

Hahaha, apparently Dom, they ARE called Flanken Cut ribs......never heard that...sounds like Frankenribs.

Thanks Brad.
I use thin Flanken cut when making my Korean short ribs.
Never smoked them thin.
I sometimes ask the butcher to flanken cut them but in 2.5 to 3 inch thickness.
I braise those, add them to Sunday gravy, and smoke them.
The best way to get short ribs IMO!

I did another pizza tonight.
Homemade dough (a given), a light coating of olive oil, some pre-smoked chicken sausage, and 3 cheeses.

On another note, I bought one of these at Home Depot for $50


I bought some dryer vent hose and did a chimney to chimney with duct tape and, presto, a cold smoker. Did some jack cheese for an experiment and it turned out so good I put some on the pizza.

Well, if the most common place you've seen them is Asian places, of course you'd hear "frankenribs".

Traeger discontinued making their cold smoker attachment so I had to do something.

While your setup might be a bit awkward, and certainly won't win any contests for looks, your rig is going deliver cooler smoke than the discontinued Traeger design would have, which is not a bad thing.

Did a batch of apple pie baked beans and my first brisket on the smoker yesterday.

First the beans:





Then onto the smoker:

And finally, the table:

And while it smoked, we found a way to keep busy in the kitchen: red and green pepper jellies, red and green salsas and some chili sauce for good measure:

Awesome pics Jeff. Thanks for sharing.
Not the wrong thread for those who love pics of food and what was happening while the goods were in the smoker.

A little feast from Sunday morning.........sorry about the pic, I cut the rack in half and tried to pile everyting on the plate.
Good stuff for sure, but not the best documentation. I took Photoshop off my laptop, or should I say I have not put it
back opn after blanking the Hard Drive. Simply grilled burgers and a smoked rack of babys, and 3 sticks of Boudin Blanc
