Hello all,
Just wanted to share a recipe that I did this past weekend. I was smoking a pork loin for the in-laws for the holiday this past weekend and I wanted to try something different. So I cut the 10lb pork loin in half and prepared half of it the same way I always do, but for the other...
Hello all,
I live in Oklahoma, and was wondering what kind of license I would need to provide a catering service.
Since my smoker would be on a trailer, would I need a temporary food establishment or a caterer license different?
Thanks in advance
Hello all,
I have a question about a Masterbuilt Electric smoker. It has been used only about 15 times, and last week, while attempting to smoke a chicken, everything shut off. The digital timer and temp on top does not do anything and the heating element does not come on.
I am figuring that...
MDGOOS,
After just doing a gig like this for a wedding reception, the one bit of advice that I will tell you is leave yourself plenty of time.
Do not be afraid of having the meat done early and refrigerated. Then reheat and slice, trim, etc.....
Ok DeejayDebi,
I understand now.
Yes it is amazing what we can get accomplished once our backs are against the wall.
I wish I had more pics for you guys. Unfortunately, both my kids were having ball tournaments that day and I was unable to attend the reception. My boss and two other...
I just got through smoking 8 10lb butts this past weekend and it took them an average of 13 hours @ 225. I started them out on a wood burner for 4 hours and finished them up on an electric for the remainder.
But like everyone said, every smoke is different. Plan for the long smoke and then if...
Keywesmoke,
The electrics I had borrowed were all the Masterbuilt electric that BassPro Sells. I believe they were the 3 rack models, and the wood tray is not very big. The problem I believe is that the wood never fully turns to ash, so the space is limited.
It did give the meat a smoke...
DeeJayDebi,
I am not sure of what you are trying to say. If you were referring to the meat coming out great, well yes that is normal, but remember it was 155 lbs of it, starting at 1:00 a.m. on Thursday and ending at 11:45 on Friday night.
Here is how it went down.
Started with 3 of the...
Just wanted to let everyone know that the brisket and pork butt came out great. I will post a couple of pics here.
The Pork butt is complete and the brisket is about two hours in to a heavy smoke on a wood burner.
Welcome hhersh,
Remember the little old book about the little blue train, and follow his advice, "I Think I Can, I Think I Can..."
This is a great place to help you answer those nagging ol' questions about your smoking.
Brisket must be cooked low and slow. Do not try to rush it. Other meats...
Sorry folks, left my camera at work last night. Had to take it to work to download all the vacation pictures to a cd and left it there.
Anyway, here I am back at work at 7:45 after being up pretty much every hour and a half last night. (YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN)
At around 10:00 p.m., I...
It is Wednesday April 18, and the big event is Saturday.
The "Meat Man" just delivered the goods....
8 Bone In Pork Butts 10lb average pre cook weight for $85.60
6 USDA Choice 12lb brisket pre cook weight for $96.43
Yeah, I think I got her a heck of a deal. That is $1.07 per pound for the...
Thanks everyone,
With your suggestions, I have talked them into pork butt and briskett. I have also recruited a couple more smokers and am going this weekend to buy myself a larger smoker (gave me an excuse to give to the woman of the house).
I will have two wood burners and two electric...
Thanks to all that have replied.
To answer a few questions:
I am leaning toward the tenderloin, as it can be sliced thin and put on a roll for a sandwich or just eaten like it is.
I plan on doing the smoke the day before the wedding. This will ensure that I have ample time to prepare...
