Well here’s the cheapest thing I found. Seems like some place in China manufactures these and they are rebranded and sold by like 18 different companies. I break these constantly so I just ordered 3.
Couldn’t have picked a better day to smoke my first Turkey. 35*, windy and occasional snow. Should be an adventure.
Pork loin was $8 off per package at Costco this weekend. I think I got 11 lbs for $12 and this is half of it. About 75 minutes at 250* to get it up to 125* internal and then 90 seconds a side wide open for a final temp of 145*.
I love pork loin but it’s so finicky. A few degrees above optimal internal temp and you’re gonna need mash potatoes and gravy to get it down
I was very happy with it…especially for $1/lb. Dry brined for 24 hours, cooked, rested for 30 minutes, and chowed down. Gonna go with roast pork sandwiches (the superior Philly staple) with the leftovers tomorrow: sliced super thin with some sautéed spinach and sharp provolone. A good jus might be a challenge, but I think I can make it happen with some bone broth and spices.
Does anyone else vastly prefer the new Regulator top vent for the egg compared to the old school daisy wheel? I liked it so much more when using a buddies egg that I got my hardware store to order me one. Just came in today. Pumped about it. I feel like you can control the temp way better with it. Also probably doesn't get all gunked up and hard to turn like the daisy wheel or as badly.
Is it like this? I much prefer this in my kamado joe va daisy wheel that always stuck badly SMOKEWARE Vented Chimney Cap – Compatible with Kamado Joe Classic and Big Joe Grills, Stainless Steel Replacement Accessory https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZAMY8F6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_EJCDFJGGQQ5E96EZP68A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
This is good to hear. I've still got the original daisy wheel, but it's all gunked up and won't turn. Luckily it's stuck in the position I mostly want it in...but still.
I had this issue with my old Akorn. As part of my prep for a cook, I would heat up the daisy wheel with a butane torch and it would become unstuck. Just gotta get all that grease and what-not good and hot.
Hated mine as well. Bought an OG vent, but it’s side air flow and not the dumb top wheel. First one I tried to take apart at the wrong time and that bitch wasn’t moving for anything. edit: side vent meaning looks like your picture but black and solid, not silver and thin.
It’s an outdoor easy bake oven it’s also exactly what I need at this point in my life plan on getting a stick burner when the kids get older
I just never got nearly as good of temp control nor the range that I could with the basic daisy wheel.
Fucking around with some chicken thighs I de-boned. Jalapeño & cheddar stuffed and wrapped with thin-sliced bacon. Southwestern ranch coating helps with a great grill color. I have not done this “recipe” in probably 20 years.
that's the best turkey I've ever had. even better than the one in the sichuan hot pot brine that we fried.
It's amazing how much it influences the flavor I'm gunna throw a couple of whole garlic bulbs in the smoker tomorrow while I'm cooking some other stuff just cause it make em taste so good in anything you make with em
Nevermind the blurry photos, I blame the heat Decided to do a quesadilla on the cast iron Now back to drinking and watching football
