Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

[AgronAlum]

It's probably not needed, I'm sure about any binder would do but that's what I saw on the video. I've also used it when I've smoked turkey.

I got some little bottles of W Sauce at Walmart that I'm going to try using as a binder going forward. I've seen it a bunch online. The W sauce is friggin delicious on its own.

Walmart has a big rack of small sauce bottles for $1.00 a piece. Ketchups, BBQ, hot, wing, etc. It has been great for trying stuff out or where I just need a small amount for something.

I love that rack.

Marie Sharps Hot Sauce-I first discovered this in Belieze

Blues Hog-Champions Blend and Raspberry Chipotle (my personal favorite)

Stubbs-Sticky Sweet is solid

Kinders-Haven't found one that I love yet

The next time I'm there I want to get the Japanese BBQ sauce.

Supposedly, Casey's wings are the bomb diggity.

This a joke or did they change them recently? They've always been garbage when I've had them.

Whats everybody smoking for the game this weekend? I've got 3 roasts and a pork butt defrosting currently. Going to do pulled pork (either BBQ or go green chili route for tacos) and pour man burnt ends.

Going to have it all smoked ahead of time and then re-heat w/ souve and crock pot. If anybody has any good recipies for pour man burnt ends, let me know - i've only done them once before and was only 'okay'. Planning on starting the burnt ends this afternoon and then pork butt overnight on Friday - then bring up in the cooler.

Was just debating that. Trending towards doing smoked wings and doing some phillys on the flat top.

Kinders Mild is my go-to for a general everyday BBQ sauce. I got a Blues Hog wing sauce off that rack and it was really good for buffalo chicken wraps.

Smoked Chuck Roast Burnt Ends

I don't think marinating the roast is particularly needed. I've done it without but I do usually inject some tasty marinade in my hunks of meat.

Basically you are:

Smoking meat to ~190F IT
Cube
Coat with more rub and sauce
Cook for another couple hours at high heat to carmelize the sauce -- smoker or grill
Reserve some for yourself before you serve or you might miss out

Some competition people use Blues Hog and mix with Traeger apricot.

It's also nice that Blue Hog has joined Kinders in the same squeeze bottle format.
I hated those mason jars.

Just going off what my Cousin and Aunt said. Crispy and meaty.

Ah, yeah, in my experience they've been soggy microwaved frozen wings. Size is fine, just bleh overall.

Probably has a lot to do with which one you go to. Some of the Casey's have terrible pizza.

Apricot is ******* gross and you should be ashamed for mentioning it.

You slurped it down when Dad put it on his smoked ham balls!

Haven't tried the Kinder's Japanese BBQ but they usually carry the Bachan brand and it is fantastic for hibachi on the Blackstone. Not sure how it would hold up as a traditional BBQ sauce though, very thin consistency.

Well… we are deep frying this week. Doing deep fried sticky ribs. Will cut two racks of St. Louis style ribs and marinate overnight. Then smoke them for 2 hours. Coat in flour and deep fry 2-3 minutes. Have a Siracha honey sauce to toss them in. Also trying to recreate the AE party balls they had at the state fair this year. Also Southwestern and Reuben egg rolls, bacon wrapped tots, wings, mushrooms, pizza rolls, onion rings. Frozen cookie dough in egg rolls, deep fried candy bars.

Atleast I knew how to eat them and not like you when you tried to shove them up your butt.

So THATS where the 5 layer guy got the idea from!

Fareway had pork belly on sale for $2.99/lb last week so I took my first crack at burnt ends for the game. Think next time I may need to trim a little fat - I like fatty meat but it was just too much. A slightly smaller cube may have helped some more of it render as well - I was about 1.5" and will try closer to 1" next time. Flavor was on point, though. Split into two batches - Hardcore Carnivore Red for seasoning on both then Local Pig BBQ sauce, brown sugar and Honey on one batch and just Blues Hog Raspberry Chipotle sauce on the other.

I've done them a couple times now and they just aren't my favorite. It's not something I want to eat a plate of like other smoked meats.
