I'll taste it for you and then mail it back. Be sure to put enough stamps on it. 1 6 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Joey Mack Posted Sunday at 11:26 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 11:26 AM I made that smoker out of a water well pump cover that was headed to the scrap yard, the grill is an old stainless grill i had that all the guts rotted out of, and steel panel out of a large power box. Completely recycled parts. Its 2 years old . I also cook with wood... Pellets and Blue Tooth not needed. 🍻 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75995-what-cha-cookin/#findComment-583550 Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted Sunday at 12:26 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:26 PM 2 hours ago, Joey Mack said: It was good. Still juicy, the bone pulled out That's the thing, right there. No matter what you're cooking, ribs, chicken, ham, Boston butt, when you can give the bone about a quarter turn twist and it comes out, or comes loose, it's done. Don't even need a meat thermometer. I have them, and use use them, but when I smoke, especially like a whole chicken, I do the leg bone test, when that leg bone comes out easy it's good to go. I like to cook a Boston butt the same way, even if the meat thermometer says it's done I like to cook it until the bone comes loose, makes it much easier to shred too. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Joey Mack Posted Sunday at 12:40 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 12:40 PM For sure O.D. For the last year, when I do chicken on the smoker, i soak it in a brine for at least 6 hours. When they soak over night the flavor is great. I dont even season the chicken or use a dipping sauce.. the brine i make is packed with flavor. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75995-what-cha-cookin/#findComment-583553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted Sunday at 12:54 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:54 PM My favorite grill is a home made unit. It's made out of some kind of water tank, I think it was in a tire shop and they checked inner tubes for leaks with it. I had a machine shop just up the road from here put the lid on it. They put the offset firebox on it too, but it's all wrong and I never use it. It was the hardest thing to move from Gladys, but I wasn't about to leave it behind. If you want a fairly inexpensive but really good smoker, this Pit Barrel Cooker is great. It's really easy to use, almost a "set it and forget it" like those late night commercials for some kind of cooking thing used to say. I ordered mine from their website, but they might have them at Lowe's or Tractor Supply. You can cook on the grate, or hang things from the bars. I have cooked 8 racks of ribs in mine at once, and I've cooked several whole turkeys. And they have a grate that one side folds down, so you can hang things on one side, and cook on the grate on the other side. Easy to store too, they make a cover for it, but I just keep mine in the shed. https://pitbarrelcooker.com/ 1 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted Sunday at 01:01 PM Share Posted Sunday at 01:01 PM Wow, I just looked at that Pit Barrel Cooker website. Like everything else, they're much more expensiver than when I bought mine. I'm thinking they were like $299 then. But if they do have them at Lowe's or Tractor supply they'll probably be putting them on sale this time of year. Or it wouldn't be too hard to make one, with the barrel and rebar, then you could probably get grates that fit at Walmart or Amazon. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post Joey Mack Posted Sunday at 01:33 PM Author Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 01:33 PM Would you believe me if I tell you that I get my grates out of the scrap metal dumpster at work ? I either burn them off, or sand blast them and then burn them off. The rack on one of my grills is a rack from a TSS oven from the Lab at work. Now if i could just find bags of cash in the trash to recycle or re purpose, things would be easier.. 😉 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75995-what-cha-cookin/#findComment-583557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted Sunday at 02:18 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:18 PM We used to haul crushed cars sometimes, and I'd always look them over hoping to find a suitcase full of cash in the trunk.

other dog Posted Sunday at 03:56 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:56 PM I just put the ribs on. I'm cooking a rack for us, one for Donnie and Deborah across the road, and one for Rocky and Rebecca. They live over there- I used the folding grate because I'm going to put 2 chicken thighs on the other side that Zina wanted me to cook. 1 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted Sunday at 04:24 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:24 PM I put that kielbasa on there too because Zina was going to throw it away. The expiration date was July 31. I said "that's only 2 months, that kielbasa is fine!" Smelled ok, and you know what they say. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted Sunday at 06:18 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:18 PM I took the expired kielbasa, the extra piece I cut off a rack of ribs, and the chicken thighs off, they're done. Gonna leave the ribs on a while, they don't pass the bone test yet. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
