Re: Bacon questions

You dont need nitrite or nitrate for hot smoking but it wont be pink or have the classic ham flavor. The sugar and salt cure is fine but will make grey or funky color bacon. Long curing with just salt will make pork go pink but it will be much drier and saltier than bacon, prosciutto for example. It...

Re: No idea what I'm doing lol

Hi Woody, If your aim is to get into meat smoking and learn the basics, All the way to some pretty complicated stuff? I would go for a quality bullet smoker like the Pro Q or Weber WSM. Hands down they will teach you the ropes about air control, Moisture and fire management. They also produce a very...

Re: How long in the Esky

When you say "Safe" Its when it comes back down to below 66C. That could take over four hours. But even then it can take hours for a fresh cooked lump of meat that is wrapped to become contaminated. Keep a little temp prob in it and if it drops below 66C and you're not ready, Place the wra...

Re: Cooking with aluminium

There is bugger all science this or that way. However it is a suspect. If it is a problem I suspect its the way Aluminum is used. Steel spoons scraping, Acidic foods, Overheating, Leaving cooked acidic or salty food in the pot to cool then keeping the same pot and food in the fridge. Ya need to make...

Re: Whole beef shin

Yep, Like one of Titch's famous lamb shanks, Id boat it in a rich beefy stock with a French mirepoix of carrot, onion and celery that will reduce down to a thick glaze.
Turn it over every hour in the smoker set at 275F. Add more liquid if needed until its tender and heavily glazed.

Re: Slow 'N Sear / Competition Steak Cooking

I like the look of the steak cooked on the CI grid better, Possibly more crust. Is that grid what is called "Slow 'N Sear" ?
What is an SCA contest?

Re: new drum smoker

Hello mate, The idea is to put in more fuel than what you need and only light the top so it slowly burns down. Once you done cooking you close off everything and the fire goes out. You are then left with unburned fuel that can be mixed in with your next cook. Komado's, Pro Q's Weber WSM's all work o...

Re: Which BBQ

Gas or pellet as my go to. Why? Its fast.
When time permits, The big green egg or WSM comes out to play.
What I enjoy more than anything is starting a fire on the ground and cooking on it be it in the back yard or back packing out in the ranges. That is when you know your alive.
