***Official BBQ / Smoker Thread***


Recommended Posts

It has been an extremely challenging last month+ at work, so I decided that I'm going to be a complete degenerate today.

This afternoon's plan is to drink and smoke and shop for mountain bikes all afternoon at the shop.

Got 2 racks of ribs seasoned up and waiting for the smoker in a could hours.  

1 seasoned in Jax Cafe seasoning, 1 in Old Bay.  I'm skeptical of the 2nd, but we are going to giver a go!

Dry brine fish or no before smoking it?

Fish isn’t in my list of things I’m experienced with smoking. I’ve not heard of dry brining it as a popular method though.

I picked up some salmon and trout to try, and have some sole fillets left to toss in as well.  I might skip the trout and smoke the other two, and pan fry the trout in butter.

My buddy made some canned kipper snacks out of brown trout and I swear to god I could eat that shit on crackers till I puked and then probably crack another beer and eat the puke too

My dad uses a liquid brine on the trout he smokes his lake trout filets, they turn out damn good.

I'm thinking about a new smoker. The Pitboss has been ok. A few fights with the auger and the old lady burnt the shit out ,of it.

Looking at the new Mahogany 1000 from Pitboss. I want something a bit bigger and with wifi and Bluetooth.

Seeing Z Grills at some places for cheap.

 

Any opinions?

 

Customer just bought a top end Traeger and he says its a POS.

I switched to a quality electric cabinet smoker and will never go back.
