Smoking

[naturalguy]

Not marlboro's or "medical marijuana" I am talking about slow smoking meat aka bbq. Anyone here get down with it?

I've been smoking for 3 years now. I do mine on a weber smokey mountain. Here are some St. Louis ribs I made yesterday

i'm always tempted, but i dunno if i have the patience or the time.

ribs always look tempting, but honestly i'd be more interested in smoking some chickens. bbq chicken is always underrated, but so delicious when it's done well.

nice looking ribs, how long did those smoke for?

Those ribs took 6 hours. I hear ya on the patience and that is one of the reasons I wanted to take up this "hobby". I am impatient by nature and this would force me to have patience, I'll tell you that it is worth the weight and I don't even mean for me to eat it. Nothing gives me more joy than when someone else enjoys my food.

Slow smoked chicken is really good, very moist and tasty and doesn't take long. I slow smoke Turkey every thanksgiving now and it comes out amazing.

I'm the same way, I love having family and friends over for a big breakfast.

Do want to try smoking but first thing on the agenda is building an inground stone grill when we get a house.

there's definitely something to be said about that...

i AM in the market for a grill. do you think it's worth getting a smoker/grill combo or separate units?

in a few years when i can afford to rebuild my deck, i'll be building an inground firepit/bbq. my wife is from hong kong where people like to grill like this:


when i've gone with her family, they go to parks where the grill is low to the ground, which means that i can build something simple for my friends to sit around at night and drink, as well as the in-laws to come over and grill during the day.

i'll have a deck and a ground level concrete pad, so i'll build the stone pit on the ground level and get a standard smoker and/or grill for the deck for convenience.

Something like this is what I'm looking for, I would want everybody to sit around the fire pit.

That's a nice pit, but the walls are a little higher than i'd like for people to sit around...

i'm thinking something smaller, like


and then go larger with my smoker and/or grill on the deck. big enough for 4 or 5 people to roast food around, but not a full size thing...

EDIT: okay *******s, think i'm going to buy a new grill today. gonna go to the grill&bbq store near here to shop around, then either buy there or order online. probably aiming to start modest: weber kettle grill and a smokenator.

That is a good low cost way to go. you can't go wrong with a weber kettle, they are so versatile. I have 3 - a weber kettle, a weber gas grill (for when you need to fire something up quick) and a weber smokey mountain smoker. None of them are terribly expensive and I've bought them over the years.

that is just badass. When I get around to redoing my backyard I think I am going to have something custom made like this.

damn, you people know how to prepare your meat

[luckynutz]

I don't know much about smoking--but this thread has certainly given me some ideas!

[Domicron]

anyone try the snake method for weber cooking? was thinking about giving it a shot in my new weber kettle (my old one was in rough shape after 30 years, inherited it from parents)

i'm thinking i want to try smoking some chicken thighs...

[hawaiistack]

I had a pro Q for years and loved it. Used to smoke ribs and chicken mostly. Now I have an electric smoker for low maintenance and convenience. Now Im concentrating on Bacon mostly, pork belly, cured in brine for 4 days and smoked for 4-5 hours at 225. I take it out, rub it with a brown sugar mix that will remain a secret, and broil it till caremalized.

Inb4 electric smokers not authentic..

when i was in the Philippines its exactly the same this.
i love the corn and hotdogs grilled tasted pretty good!
