PS - This post probably belongs on the next few threads down, the pop up ad below the picture is outdoor cooking utensils. The AI in my Apple TV box can’t get the right baseball game to suggest for the life of it, but when it comes to actually making money sell8ng things, scanning a picture and figuring out what they should offer to me, dead spot on. Capitalism triumphs even in the Brave New World!
i use an old 15” weber kettle with a cutout grill to smoke smaller stuff and the big one with the folding grill for turkeys. don’t need anything fancy…
years ago I smoked some salmon but it was hard to keep lit
I’m reviving this old thread seeing as I just picked up my Pit Boss smoker the other day and will be using it often. Last night I did some chicken breast which came out awesome. Probably the tenderest chicken we’ve ever had and I was so excited I forgot to take pics of it on the smoker.lol
Then around 10:00 pm I started this 10lb pork shoulder roast. I cooked it low and slow at 180 degrees (which dropped to 168 overnight) and at 7:00 am I bumped it up to 200 degrees. I pulled it off when the inside temp reached 180 degrees then wrapped it in butchers paper, bumped the temp up to 275 and cooked it for another 3 hours until it reached 205 inside . Total time cooking low and slow was 16.5 hours and well worth the wait.
Here’s the final results which I must say came out pretty darn good for a rookies first time. lol I've cooked a lot of roast in a crock pot and non of them came out as tender & juicy as this one.
I smoked a 12 lb spiral ham yesterday using a pellet blend hickory, oak, maple & cherry. I then added a couple scoops of apple which gave it just enough sweet flavor along with the glaze. 4.5 hours @250* on the smoker and glazed it with 1 hour left and now we'll be eating ham for a week. lol
