Adventures in smoking

[PhishingPhanatic]

I went ahead and bought a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker last month, and have been experimenting with smoking some different meats. I gotta say, that smoker is very user friendly and easy to maintain a good steady smoking temperature for hours with. I smoked 2 pork shoulders 2 weeks ago, pictured below, and was able to maintain a temperature of 200-225 degrees for almost 19 hours on one pan of charcoal, they came out as tender as butter. I have 2 racks of ribs on the smoker right now, I'll get some pictures of those too when they are done. Thanks to Bolo for the cooking tips.

I couldn't resist sampling a piece before transferring them into foil.


Wrapped in foil and into the cooler for a couple hours until ready to eat

Look like a beauty PhishingPhanatic, you going to have to smoke a Snake Head this coming weekend! I should be free on Sunday so we will try to do a Snake Head in the early morning and clown fish in the late afternoon. Check with Dondel, we both have the Electrical Bradley smoker and Dondel got some phenomenon recipes for smoking ribs and I for Burmese Pythons!!

Safeman: Sardines rule baby!!!

I'm kind of disapointed Rory. I really thought this post was going to be about something else
Looks awsome.

Sounds good, but I will leave the eating of the snakeheads up to you guys, the pros

LOL Bolo - for some reason I would have never thought you would know about White Castle....do the exist in Florida? Krystal's are about the same but even they are far and few inbetween down here....I do not have one anywhere near my house

Sorry for the Hijack

Mighty one bites are one of the few things I miss from the North country. That and decent Pizza.

Some "Atomic Buffalo Turds" I made while waiting for the ribs to cook...jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and a Little Smokey sausage, wrapped in bacon then smoked for about an hour and brushed with a little BBQ sauce if you like

[PhishingPhanatic]

And the ribs...finished one rack with a traditional brown sugar-based BBQ sauce, and the other with a less sweet mustard-based sauce.





Served with homemade coleslaw and the first local corn of the season, with a nice cold Sierra Nevada Pale Ale to wash it all down. Now I need a nap

Looks great Rory.

I made up some of those "Atomic Buffalo Turds" Memorial Day" along with some Venison, ribs and chicken. They were a big hit, wish I would have made more, if I hadn't tried one at the grill, I wouldn't have gotten any. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, those things go like hotcakes. You can also try some variations, like softening the cream cheese and mixing some shredded cheddar cheese in with it, or replacing the Little Smokey with a shrimp. If you want to have some fun, leave one of the peppers with all the seeds and white veins in it, and mix that one in with all of the others that you deseeded/veined. Then keep an eye out when everyone is chowing down for that one unfortunate soul who grabs the "nuclear" pepper without knowing it.

I made so much of them this weekend past that my a** is blowing out fire.

If you remove all the seeds and white stuff from inside the pepper, they should have little to no heat...
