    For those that fry - What do you do with your oil?

    I would love to fry in my discada, but I like to be organized in my cooking style. What do y'all do with your oil? I have seen china caps that are then pouring into steel containers. How do you do it? What have you found sucks/works well? TIA!

    Am I a Failure?

    You are correct Bregent. Low and slow bite through skin without scrapping. I know its possible, seen it done. I can never get the results though.

    I can attest to the baking powder remedy. It words wonderfully on wings. Almost gives them a fried skin texture.

    Am I a Failure?

    Im all for higher smoking temps, but high temps for me are roughly 275. I can slide the thighs over towards the fire box and put it in a pan to keep the bottoms from burning I guess. I see youtubers all the time running their pits with wings n such in them while doing brisket and butts. I know...

    Thats a real buzzkill that I have to crank the heat to get the skin consistency that I want. :(

    Am I a Failure?

    Thanks for the tips Aaron, I get the grill method. I dont mean this in a negative way since that yields fantastic results, but I feel grilling is almost a cop out. I want to replicate the bite through skin without having to pull skin, scrape it, put it back on....blah. I know thats the...

    Am I a Failure?

    With a subject line like that, who can resist? HAHA But seriously -I am a great chef! I went to culinary school, grew up with a southern momma that could throw down, smoking "slap yo momma good" brisket is a piece of cake. I have a terrible, terrible relationship with one smoked meat in...

    Stick Burner Or Pellet Grill

    I think I can help here. The way I see it, these options are two different types of smoked food. Saying that may be a little confusing, but hear me out. I have a Traeger and a Old Country Peco's and I love both of my smokers. I started smoking 2 years ago with my Traeger and love it, absolutely...
