Re: What's in your smoker?
Looks great. I can't believe that I missed this one until now. I'm slipping in my old age!
I have 2 levels in my smoker, so if there is room, I puit the beans under the pork butts for a while and let the dripin's season them up.

Re: What's in your smoker?
Yeah I also have 2 levels...was just too lazy to pull the rack that time. I need to give that technique a shot next time.

If you are doing pork, you can also throw in a clove or two into the fire but watch out! You're gonna laugh when you see/smell how short and intense the smoke is!

Cool...great idea. I'll need to use that for my small grill.

Re: What's in your smoker?
Pretty close!
Funny thing is, My sister-in-law (who lives 4 blocks away) manages to show up unanounced within 30 minutes of me firing up the smoker...everytime. I kept accusing my wife of calling her on the phone, but that wasn't the case. Must be a 7th sense

Re: What's in your smoker?
They work surprisingly well as buffers to even out the heat. With them in place, I can load about an entire weber chimney worth of fuel in there, so I'll get about 1/3 of a chimney full of k-briqs going, then dump that in there along with about 1/2 to 2/3 of chimney of unlit briqs plus smoke wood and let the minion method do it's thing - end result: about a 6 hour cook with no adding of fuel necessary.
I have the fire bricked 22OTG going right now with a small pork shoulder in it - it's holding 240F nicely. Make sure you get firebricks, not red clay or concrete bricks - the latter two can shatter. |

Re: What's in your smoker?
Damn.
I'm always seeing other's photos, but never think to take any myself. One of these days.... Great ideas regarding the beans. Guess I'd have to get a Dutch oven first.... LOL. Love the food-p*rn guys. Keep up the good work. (BTW: I'm a Pork Butt guy, mainly.)

Re: What's in your smoker?
I have an older New Braunfels Black Diamond patio smoker in addition to my tow-behind. I use fire bricks below the cooking grate to help "tune" the cooking chamber temperature. They add thermal mass that helps me maintain temperature longer and uses less fuel. I have also modified the stack height to improve airflow. My wife say's that it's a hold over from racing days of my youth...Hot Rodding the Smoker.

Re: What's in your smoker?
Just pulled this small (4.5lb) pork shoulder off of the bbq - it's now resting in a warm cooler contemplating the meaning of life for the next 30-45 minutes or so.
(crappy kodak camera doesn't take good photos in low light) First time I've coated a shoulder with mustard before the rub, not sure if I used too much mustard or if that's how it's supposed to be, but the mustard & rub bark is like frickin' plaster. I think it's a good thing though, since it rendered maybe 1 to 2 TBS of fat into the drip pan for a 6.5-7 hour cook and damn near squirted me when I went to pull the thermometer out. (keeping fingers crossed) |
