    thanks for creating this thread @ghostofuga1


    I love grilling, smoking, bbq, and sous vide


    Aaron Franklin to Meathead Goldwyn, love those guys and the only cookbooks I own.


    I use a sous vide, a stick burner, a pellet grill, and a kamado

    @PharmDawg2054 How long did that need to stay on the smoker ? Sounds and looks awesome.

  • tfk_fanboytfk_fanboy Posts: 2,821 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    @PharmDawg2054 who makes that kamado? it is gorgeous


    and leftover pulled pork is also amazing for nachos. add in your normal toppings for loaded nachos and use pulled pork instead.

    @pharmadawg That's a beautiful grill man. A six wheeler even. And that's one stout grate.

  • PharmDawg2054PharmDawg2054 Posts: 3,930 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    @tfk_fanboy @MarkBoknecht it’s made by Blaze grills. I lucked out and purchased it from someone who won it in a drawing and never even took it out of the boxes


    another great thing with left over pulled pork is making a BBQ lasagna

    There are some great deals on the Facebook market place for high end grills that are barely used at half the price

  • PharmDawg2054PharmDawg2054 Posts: 3,930 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    That’s pretty much exactly what I do in the wrapping process

    i try to stay below 275 on a cook of brisket and 350 or below on a butt. All just depends what time frame I’m working with

    @CZCashvilleDawg I’ve cooked hundreds of pounds of briskets, ribs, butts and other meats on my Akorns; they’re a great introduction to Kamado cooking. Best piece of advice I can offer is what I said above; don’t chase temps on the grill! Get a good remote digital thermometer and monitor the internal temp of your meat; that makes all of the difference! Some other advice I have is for ribs; 4 hours at 275 degrees always works for me, babyback, St Louis or country style. Finally, use pork butts for your learning curve; they make great pulled pork and are very forgiving. Good luck!

  • Palm_City_DawgPalm_City_Dawg Posts: 1,766 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    I’m with you on cooking temps...but if they vary during the process, I don’t sweat it anymore. I used to chase 225 for briskets and 300 for butts like they were gospel; not so much anymore.

    This thread is making me miss my rooftop with the grill

  • amjadawgsamjadawgs Posts: 1,546 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    JMO here, the “key” to a great result when smoking is charcoal, wood and water instead of gas or electricity. It takes quite a bit longer, more effort, but well worth the end result.


    I know the Thanksgiving Turkey can be deep fried, but good old fashioned charcoal, wood of choice and water makes a smoked turkey the best it can be. You can also add some of your favorite cooking wine to the water for flavor. I prefer hickory or apple wood, but there are many choices. 

  • tfk_fanboytfk_fanboy Posts: 2,821 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    two uncles, step dad, and a couple friends have the akorn. best bang for the buck in all of grilling/smoking imo. they can rust of not covered though


    and agreed 100% about a good thermo. really only two worth buying and both by the same company and at two different price points

    thermo pop and thermapen

    @ghostofuga1 bro doing the lords work. Much appreciated ghost bro

    I’ve never used a egg or anything similar, but I do like them. The pellet cooking set and forget watching seems to be the trend as of late.

    Personally, I like my Lang stick burner because I keep an eye on it. Haha I even put these fancy thermos in it so I dont have to watch the temps, but always find myself out there.

    New school or old school, just remember low and slow is the name of the game. I appreciate seeing other bros & broettes bbq work

  • JRT812JRT812 Posts: 4,697 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    bros and broettes check these smokers out. They seem legit, plus Myron knows a thing or two on a smoker. Might be my next smoker
