Something new to smoke?

[Av8er]

Does ribs include Beef Short Ribs?

I wish I could find beef ribs around here but I can’t.

All of this sounds good! I love ox tail but haven’t ever smoked it. Smoked some pork belly burnt ends a couple weeks ago. I lost my taste for lamb after cutting into a leg of lamb and finding an abscess come oozing out. Can’t bring myself to try it again. Meatloaf doesn’t sound bad, how do you do it on an offset? I thought you needed temps close to 400 for that? I really want to use my Lang as I haven’t used it in a while. Chicken I would rather do on my Weber with a vortex.

Have you done a pastrami (in a while)?

Have you tried applying those same techniques to a batch of ribs... or even a butt (a la JasonTQ)?

 

[Av8er]

Never tried pastrami!! That’s a possibility for sure.

I recommend Alton Brown's meatloaf recipe.

Just form into a loaf, no pan, and smoke at 250 to 275 until done.

My wife loves to slice it and sear in a fry pan to get a little crust on it.

Just looked at how to do pastrami and I’m not sure where to find a pre corned brisket. Any suggestions? If not, I’m gonna go for meatloaf.

Salmon?

Rib tips. Give them the brown sugar treatment like pork belly.

I've found them at most any grocery, and I highly suggest aiming for a point vs. a flat, if at all possible.

Wally World almost always has them. Our Commissary (even in East Bumblefark, NM) has them... at least, the flats. Uhm. I've heard that Sam's Club has them.

If they're not in the meat section, check the freezer aisle (that's how we used to get them at Kadena AB, Okinawa, JP).

Shoot... you won't go wrong with the meatloaf, either.

Enjoy!

Lasagna is VERY tasty when cooked on a smoker.

I like smoked and grilled fish a lot. Seafood is good also. If you dont want to do that, turkey, pork chops, meatloaf, fatties, corned beef (pastrami), wings, spam, nuts, potato skins, stuffed burgers, jerky, onions with cheese, brussel sprouts with bacon, cabbage, corn. I recently had smoked bread pudding.

This sounds ridiculously good, man. Love it.

Cocktails and ice cream

Meatloaf fatty is a must. Amp up your regular oven recipe with sauteed jalapenos.

Also, stuffed leg of lamb. I like cherry for this.

Salmon?

Aren’t you supposed to cold smoke salmon?

That looks fantastic @ food4thot

Great thread. The girlfriend is out of town this weekend, so I'm trying to decide what to smoke. There are a few good ideas in here!

Also - Drop a few bucks on this book:

https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Smoking-Smokey-Mountain-Smokers/dp/1624140998/ref=sr_1_1

It is packed with new ideas. My favorite is a chili-cheese-pepper dip that you smoke in a cast iron pan.

We've been playing around with fruit filled turnover pastries recently. Hickory & apple for wood.

Double smoked baked potatoes. Bacon, scallions, potatoes and chedder cheese are smoked twice. Things get extra crispy.

Have you tried Publix?

I do find microwaved leftovers to have a much more smokey flavor. I cook mine over clean burning lump and still get a slight overpowering smoke profile when reheating.
