Meat / Re: Fall of the bone ribs - is...
Last post by Cromaxon - April 03, 2024, 02:03:13 AMThe tenderness of ribs can be influenced by both the meat and the cooking method. While the 3-2-1 method is fantastic for achieving fall-off-the-bone ribs, the quality and type of meat can also play a significant role.
Factors like the age of the animal, the cut of meat, and even how the ribs were handled before cooking can impact their tenderness. Additionally, some racks may have more connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking, leading to that perfect fall-off-the-bone texture.

General Discussions / Re: smoke generator
Last post by hagenes32 - April 02, 2024, 08:04:11 PMWhile it's surprising the smoke generator still works after running for five days without pucks, it's good to know it seems functional. Although it didn't ignite a fire this time, leaving a smoke generator on without pucks is a fire hazard. Without pucks to generate smoke, the unit could overheat and potentially ignite surrounding materials.

Cold Smoking / Re: Smoking Cheese: How long i...
Last post by Nibs50 - April 01, 2024, 01:37:02 PMThanks for your reply, Habanero Smoker - it's much appreciated - and for confirming my suspicions that a 12 hour smoke would be excessive. The photos looked impressive, but looks can be deceiving - and personal tastes are highly subjective - so who knows for sure?
I was tempted to try the 12 hour smoke just to see for myself, but I don't think I will. The price of everything here has gone up through the roof, so I will just stick to what works for us - smoking our cheeses for 2 hours - and not wasting resources on something that may or may not turn out to our liking.
Thanks again!

Cold Smoking / Re: Smoking Cheese: How long i...
Last post by Habanero Smoker - April 01, 2024, 03:31:51 AMI've never gone over 4 hours, and felt that did not improve the smoke flavor, and made it worse. I will smoker for 2 - 3 hours. Twelve hours seem excessive.
I have tried a couple of ways to get a darker color on my smoked cheese. I've read a few articles that state the higher the humidity in the smoke chamber the more color you will get. I thought misting the cheese with water would help, but I didn't see much improvement. The only thing that helped improve color; somewhat, was letting the cheese bloom at room temperature for several hours, prior to packaging it.
