Got the rub on the ribs, and the smoker is a seasoning! An I bought a pork butt for Sunday!

03-19-2010, 03:05 PM

I did a whole chicken and some apples. I cut the chicken down the breastplate and cracked the back to open it up. I smoked them for about 2 hours then it got windy and temp outside is dropping so I am finishing in the oven. I know I could finished with the smoker but I am to lazy to watch that and my 3 year old at the same time so into the oven they go.

Apples you say? hmmm...do you prep them in any special way?

03-19-2010, 03:48 PM

The apples I cut them in half and cored them. I basted them with a mixture of some brown sugar, some apple juice (just enough to make it pastey) and some cinnamon. I had enough to baste them before they went into the smoker with enough to put it on again when I moved them to the oven.
The only reason I got the apples was cuz my daughter saw them at the store and wanted them for cooking them on the fire as she calls it. I have to say I never done it before so I am looking forward to them. I am more of a make it up as you go along instead of a measurer.

For me cooking should be fun and less about exact amounts of things.

In the past, I have cored the apples and stuffed them with Carmel or chocolate and lightly oiled the outside and covered with Cinnamon. Tasty.

Sounds good. Did you post a pic here of them? It was probably your post that fueled my thought. I remember seeing one somewhere.
Ask Knip23 if the apples were good he just ate one.

Washed, coated w/ ground pepper, corriander and mustard seeds. About to go in the smoker.

All done, into foil and a cooler to contemplate life for a few hours, then straight to the refrigerator overnight.

First slices... Love the smoke ring.

Sliced - fat cap gets trimmed off as I use the slices.

Breakfast. Yum.

This looks outstanding!!!

Now I'm starving!

kgoings · 03-19-2010, 10:23 PM

My first attempt at smoking meat. It didnt get finished in time for dinner so I put it in the oven for 20 minutes to cook it to a safe temp.

T.G · 03-19-2010, 10:39 PM

Looks good.

No crime or shame about putting it in an oven to finish. A large number of restaurants do that all the time.

How did it taste?

I do it with chicken and beef roasts to crank up the temps for a crispy outside.

20 degrees before serving temp I'll move it into the oven around 400.

One of the great things to me about smoking meat is practice, practice, practice. I mean, really, however bad it comes out, it will always be better than the commerical stuff. Just learn from the mistakes and move on.

Just pulled it off the smoker and wrapped it in aluminum. I put too much rub on it and the outside looks (and tastes) charred...but the inside is fantastic!!! I guess I will just trim off all the outside
