Yes, as a matter of fact I have

 

Use a charcoal chimney for all your steak searing needs. It’s the only way to go imo.

 

I’ve cooked chicken wings on the Weber multiple times, but today I’m thinking about tossing them in the smoker. Anyone ever try this? From some quick googling, looks like 225 for 90-120 minutes should do it.

 

I smoke them often but crank to 350-400 for the last 10 minutes or so

 

Yes, smoked wings are amazing. Smoke then till they are done then wear them to crisp up the skin, or drop them in a deep fryer for like 90s.

 

Yes, smoked wings are great
Just gotta get some higher heat, either by cranking up the grill or finishing in a fryer, just to get the skin crisped

 

Skin is very important in the world of chicken

 

Anyone use an air fryer? I know lots of people who suck at cooking that swear they're good but I don't trust them. I've always wondered if they'd be good for smoked wings or various other smoked meat applications

 

I have one. It’s just a convection oven. I use it mostly for potatoes. I’ve made breaded chicken in it, it’s ok. Not a replacement for the fryer for chicken.

 

Yeah I've always thought science wise it was like a redesigned toaster oven of sorts

 

Please, nobody reply positive reviews
Last thing I need is another damn counter top cooking appliance that I never would have bought if it wasn't for the damn mainboard

 

Essentially. If you use a bit of oil on your chicken when you bread it it can turn out decent. Doesn’t make any mess and you don’t have to worry about oil.

 

I believe dblplay1212 owns an air fryer

 

Finally did some long overdue maintenance







This was a month ago what it looked like

 

A few or two?

 

Can you guys quit refinishing your tables, I need to do mine but was perfectly content trying to just not think about it and put it off a little longer. Nice work though.

 

My smoker only goes to 275. I’ll finish on Weber

Got a deep frier, but no oil lol. I’ll finish on Weber

I agree 100%. Finish makes or breaks wings for me. My personal favorite is double fried, or smoked then flash fried

 

Is that a steak

 

2.3 pound pork shoulder, no bone

 

Thanks for the help guys. They are damn tasty. 225 for 2 hours on smoker then finished at 500 for less than 10 on the Weber.

 

What’d you rub them with? Looks good.

 

Twistd Q chicken rub. Got it from Publix.

I got some of that stuff while I was in Nebraska. Pretty good rub.

 

First crack at tri-tip, turned out pretty darn good. Had to cook it a little higher than I would want for the wife to eat.

 

I used to have these thin wood lattice on the back an sides that I just took off. They were going to be a bitch to clean up and stain, and they were starting to break off anyhow. Storing stuff on that bottom shelf is going to be tougher but it will be nice keeping that clean without a bunch of junk.

 

Really nice first pic. Beauty of tri tip, give her the end cuts and you get the mid rare goods in the middle.

 

Kamado Joe for $750 if you have prime

 

This is all I got on prime day this year. Anyone use this brand?

Team fried wings
Try to serve me smoked wings and I'll shove them up your Ass.

 

The fuck is wrong with you

 

I've never had a smoked wrong as good as a fried wing. So why bother smoking

 

I have had smoked fried chicken that is delicious but the frying is the key

 

Yes that’s why you smoke the wing first then fry it

 

Smoked > fried feel free to @ me

 

Smoked then hit over direct heat for a minute of two. That’s how wings should be done.

Please @ me or don’t.

 

Biship is the idiot here guys

 

Making absolute statements that one is better than the other in all cases is pretty fucking stupid. Either method can be done really well or be really shitty

 

I don't disagree. Sorry for the hot take

If you haven’t enjoyed smoked wings from twin peaks you shouldn’t be allowed to discuss the subject

 

Beach house we rented didn’t have a grill. Can’t be having that so I bought a Smokey Joe to grill some burgers.

 

how do you like the vision. and what does the plaza series compare to in the BGE series (medium, large, xl?)

 

related to that post above, my girlfriend's parents are buying her a grill for her birthday/christmas present and i'm helping to pick it out. she has a budget of about 800-1000, although probably wants to keep it closer to 800 than 1000.

thoughts? can she get an egg that's worth it at that price (ie at least a large?) i think we're leaning towards a komado style since i have pellet grill and we want something a bit different (also, I just want that style grill/smoker). i like the idea of a vision with the propane attachment since that would be super easy for her and when i'm over there using it i can use charcoal.

 

She in a house or apartment and does the vision allow for conversion to natural gas? If so go that way. Zero fuss for her and you still get a toy. I know a few guys that will run gas lines for beer.

 

This is really contingent on how much you like her. Short term like, gas. Long term like, egg.

 

Does anyone here toss their wings in a little seasoned cornstarch between the smoker and grill?

I know it works well with straight to the grill, but didn’t know about smoked since the cooking time is drastically decreased.

 

I would guess it would not hurt, but I’ve never tried it.

 

The color sucks but these might be the best spares I've ever done
