Smoked Meat is Awesome!

[Cody]

I buy drumsticks and smoke them. Anything that isn't bone in I've struggled with. Cheapest meal around... Cheaper than Stephen's..... Taste in cars.

Drumsticks just rub in oil, dry rub with spice of choice. Smoke for 1.75 hours at 275. Brush with soowwwss, smoke another fitteen, take off and eat.

Turn off smoker.

Cherch.

Thanks @Cody I needed a giggle. Need to come to your establishment for a beer too!

What style chicken is it? Some are good for smoking and some aren’t.

Breast and some thighs.

This is not untrue.

I smoked some chicken breasts wrapped in bacon, it was delicious! You need to brine them though to keep them moist.

Do any of you up guys have a go-to recipe for smoked Birria tacos?

Apparently I’m being held hostage at my house for Father’s Day Lunch 🙄. I figured beer and tacos might help me get through having visitor

Breast and some thighs.

Thighs, bone in skin on smoke great. Breasts can dry out, but maybe there’s a good way to do it.

Isn't birria essentially a stewed meat, and sometimes finished on the grill (a la plancha) to crisp the meat? Not sure how you'd smoke that

At least that's how it works in baja

Yes it is bathed in consume. I’ve seen some people smoke the meat and chilis prior to mixing it all together.

Sounds like a lot of work, but I might try it

Bison and elk al pastor. Not smoked, but I transferred it to my rotisserie on my grill. It was quite nice.

Horizontal or vertical? I want a vertical so bad, but I don't think I can justify the space it would take up.

That pineapple looks to be upside down.

It was having a three way with the bison and elk.😉

I have two vertical smokers I would sell.... A smaller camp chef and a big guy.. Pit boss or some shit.

I have a traeger knockoff, and have the parts to build a stumps style gravity feed smoker.

Probably doesn't look amazing, but took @Stephen insight about bacon wrapped chicken and seasoned it well. I've not had great luck with smoking chicken, but the fat and flavor of the bacon really helped. The summer squash was the surprise hit though, it was excellent.

Tried a reverse sear on a couple filet mignon's last night. Got a great crust with awesome smokey flavor. Not as tender as how I usually cook them, which is in a cast iron skillet in the oven at 350 for ~20 minutes. So I may just try that method in the smoker next time and see what happens.

I'm making smoked mac and cheese for the 4th, I'm looking forward to that.
