Whatchya smokin

It's a Weber kettle for us for smoking here too. Usually along with apple & maybe some hickory chips. When we have company, they often spend most of the day riding their wheelers though. So, they'll do the crockpot method when they're up.

When it is -30 I have done them indoors when I have the urge but don't want to brave the elements.

At the cabin when all of us are there,  we'll smoke 4 racks on the weber with just a small amount of coals,  rotate em around for an hour and half or so then put em in casserole dishes in the oven. When done they hit the grill for saucing. In my opinion they take on a lot more smoke on the weber vs my pellet grill.

Yes Bobber I’ve tried many different way to smoke ribs and alway come back to the kettle. The charcoal and wood chunk make the difference.

My pellet grill smokes a lot at 185 but not near as much when hotter.

Yep, That's they way they are set up. Don't get me wrong,  they still do a good job, just sometimes it's hard to beat old school.

For sure.  We had an old frig one and had no idea what we were doing and we still think it was the best smoking ribs etc ever.  LOLOL

I have a smoke tube that I sometimes use in mine for lower temps or more smoke.    Add a hand full of pellets and light one end.

I bought 2 eye of rounds and made one into jerky that worked out good.  Still munching on it.  I wonder if I could brine the other one to be like corned beef?  So probably not as sweet as Pop's brine??  Ever done that?  I just buy the corned beefs at the store already packed but this may be fun to do.

I have only tried it once. Using Pops brine  I backed off the sugar just a bit and then added a couple tablespoons of pickling spice.  I also added some black pepper, garlic and onion powder to the brine. 

I have the 12" smoke tube.  A friend of mine sent me an A-maZ-en smoke maze that I have not had a chance to try yet.  He uses his for cold smoking bacon.    I also want to smoke some cream cheese.
