I got a small smoke chest that I'm not exactly sure how to use or what I should even put in it. Does anyone know anything about these? It looks like a thin minifridge.

[Anonymous No.10626011]

Man I love my pellet smoker. It's so easy to use. Actually made some really great smoked leg quarters today.

[Anonymous No.10626289]

I'm thinking about buying a traeger (I can get a new one comparatively cheap). I don't have much experience with smokers, but I think it will be a good starting point.

Anyone here used one or have any recommendations on what I might try instead.

For reference, I think I can get the mid-sized version for about $380 brand new.

How are you getting it so cheap?

[Anonymous No.10626760]

>>10626736
A vendor discount.

yep, here they are before wrapping them.

>>10626289

seems like a great deal. I would go for it. when I was deciding between a traeger and the camp chef smokepro I eventually got, I noticed there was a somewhat concerning number of people on Amazon complaining about getting defective Traegers.

this camp chef model had amazing reviews and basically no complaints, so that's what I went with. also has one or two features the traeger doesn't.

I use a Masterbuilt electric smoker that I got a good price from Cabela's.

This is a brisket i smoked a few weeks back.

Good man. Stubbs is probably the best tasting sauce you can get from a grocery store.

[Anonymous No.10627402]

>>10627386
Looks a little dry but that might just be the picture. How did it taste? What did yiu season with?

[Anonymous No.10627406]

I only got a 5 pound brisket so I don't think I got the really tender parts that are the best. I'm going to go up to 10-12 lbs next time.

It wasn't bad, but it didn't blow my mind either.

also i have a question for you guys that actually know how to cook. when I do ribs, I'll smoke them for a few hours then wrap them in foil with butter, brown sugar, and honey. pic related is after the wrapped part, and there's always a lot of delicious juice leftover in the foil. (mixture of fat from ribs, butter, brown sugar, and honey).

is there a good way to turn the leftover juices into a sauce, e.g. by reducing it and adding other shit? or would the fat content be problematic? it smells so delicious and syrupy... I hate throwing it out, but I don't know how to do anything with it (or if anything can really be done).

add flour and maybe a pinch of stock to make a roux.

[Anonymous No.10627511]

>>10627473
Dang those look really good

[Anonymous No.10627516]

>>10627507
The juice is basically stock already. probably don't need to do much aside from reduce. Maybe add aromatics like minced shallots or garlic??

thanks man. luckily they don't really require any skill other than patience.

I want to get a offset smoker but don't want to commit so much money right now. I've seen people mod Oklahoma Joe Highlander into decent smoker but it'll end up being like $500. Is there a better offset around $500 that will work good out of the box?

[Anonymous No.10627534]

ive heard smoking mushrooms can be pretty good due to their ability to not be overcooked, however i doubt they have much practical use apart from appeasing non meat eaters.
what do you guys think?

>i doubt they have much practical use apart from appeasing non meat eaters

prolly right, but this vegan pulled mushrooms recipe is something i've always wanted to try

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWMIpdhlVZY

btw would pretty much any mushroom pull apart nicely like the ones in the vid? I might make this shit tomorrow and report back.

[Anonymous No.10627596]

>>10627548
any mushroom with a fibrous stalk should pull apart like that, but i reckon any flat cap or the like could also work maybe? the mushrooms in the video are king oyster though so they dont have much of a taste bar what they get from the smoke.

>conclusion
do it my friend, but if you are using mushrooms with most of their mass/flesh in the cap it won't be very alike im guessing (although smoking might make them have the right consistency, you could steam them before/after smoking).
