Title: What is your favorite thing to smoke?
Post by: Rad Rich on February 16, 2011, 11:37:41 AM
Hey guys I was just wondering what everybody's favorite thing to smoke is.  I am so happy with my obs.  Everything has turned out really great.  I have smoked salmon, bone in pork loins, brisket, whole and spatchcocked chicken, chicken wings, bacon wrapped chicken, and ribs.  last weekend I smoked on Sat and Sun.  I am getting curious to see what you guys are smoking.  my favorite is the bacon wrapped chicken and the salmon.  How about you?

I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may incriminate myself.  Oh, were you limiting it to food?  Brisket.

We were off the hook the minute OU812 said "fattie."

Yeah, that would be the most correct answer.

I think some of you guys are speaking in code and I like it.  That big fatty looked pretty good. I have been having such good results with my obs. I have a local butcher shop with the best dry rub. I use it on everything. Would like to smoke some cheese but I noticed that nobody mentioned cheese as a favorite. One guy mentioned almonds, that sounds great. I have a few venison tenderloins in the freezer and would really like some advise on what a favorite way to smoke them would be.

I'm with CRG and Test Rocket.  I just love me some BUTT.  Funny thing, I had never ordered pulled pork at a BBQ joint.  Always brisket and sausage.  Now I cannot get enough juicy butt!

Are they "tenderloins" from the inside. or "loins" from the back?

If they are loins I like to slice them open like a hoagie bun but not all the way to the ends.

Lay them open and stuff with some cheese, onion, green pepper, shrooms and what ever trips my trigger.

Then squeeze shut and wrap in bacon making sure the seam of the loin is up and the seam of the bacon weave is down.

Throw in the smoker set at 220 F and smoke it with 2 or 3 hr Pecan and pull it out when the IT hits 135 F then slap on a hot grill, watch for flame ups, and roll on each side to slightly crisp up the bacon.

Keep an eye on it so the cheese dont run away from ya, I start with the seam of the loin down first then roll over to keep the cheese in check.

I shoot for a finish IT of 140 F then remove from the grill and let rest, the IT will rise to about 145 F.

Slice and serve,

i don't know that it's my favorite thing to smoke, but what i smoke the most of is poultry.

try to keep the diet somewhat healthy and save my calories for the budweiser.

the thing i'd most like to perfect would be ribs.

i've had great success with brisket, brawts, and roast.

anyhow, smoking is fun.  it's a great way to spend an entire day.

Oo oo oo I forgot. Habs Canadian Back Bacon. It is easy to make but takes a week and it is so awesome.
And though I have only done one batch of cheese which wasn't smokey enough I still loved it and for what it takes to make a cardboard box cold smoker it is definitely worth the effort, you just need to try it and see what your likes are.

Post by: Rad Rich on February 18, 2011, 06:02:45 AM
Interesting all the favorites.  Thanks for the advise on the venison, gonna try it with cheese and veggies. After reading all the posts sounds like we have a bunch of butt men on this forum.  Im gonna try my first butt this weekend. No difference in but or shoulder right? Can't wait love pulled pork.  There was a great post up a little earlier. With a link to picks for smoking butt.  That vinegar mop sounds good.  How long with the smoke do you think for the butt. Will be using hickory. Thinking about four hours of smoke then let it cook.  Is that enough smoke?
Title: Re: What is your favorite thing to smoke?
Post by: OU812 on February 18, 2011, 06:17:03 AM
4 hr of Hickory would be just right for me.

Title: Re: What is your favorite thing to smoke?

Yep, 4 hours of hickory for this west Kentucky guy.

The only thing we seem to get here is boneless shoulder blade roasts. This is perfectly acceptable.

Post by: Quarlow on February 21, 2011, 04:44:33 PM
You know it brother. And it is always good the first timecause it is so easy to do. I took pulled pork to a party and nobody touchedit till I told them what it was. Pulled pork is not a common thing here on the west coast of canada. Once they knew what it was it was gone in ten minutes. Then they were begging for more till I told them "no problem, just give me 16 hrs and I will have more ready". It is good no matter what and you can change the flavours so easily. It has to be the most versatile meat that you can do. Ok Ok I love pulled pork and Before making my own I had never even tried it.  Let's just say it is darn good.

While I like big butts...on this I can not lie......I'd actually have to say....a nice bacon wrapped Big Bertha size Italian fattie!!!!  Second would be brined LARGE shrimp with the shell on but split down the back and a little dill weed inserted in the split.  After smoking, peel the shell off, cut it into bite size pieces and stir them into some Bertolli Alfredo sauce and let it sit in the fridge over night.  Heat the sauce up the next day and serve it over fresh cooked Linguine or thin spaghetti.  By the way... for something different... take a box of lasagna noodles without the curly edges, break them up, cook to your favorite doneness and serve with your sauce of choice.
