Food Thread
So, since there was a recent thread that derailed into food, I thought I'd start a "food" thread. Can be any source you want--you made it, you ate it, etc. . I'll start it off. Here's my first attempt at babybacks this year. We finally thawed enough to give it a go. As the summer goes on, hopefully I get my touch back.
Straight off the smoker--no sauce just a dry rub Same rack lightly sauced and just a touch of carmelization.
First person that posts fast food is demoted 2 ranks.

Looks incredible Sailor!
Without a smoker am I risking that final phase of caramelization? To become a probable Flame show?
I’m thinking it may be time to add a Smoker to my BBQ arsenal.

Re: Food Thread
You should be ok. —it all depends on how low you can control heat. I never get above 325 and I’m wrapped in foil for the last hour. As long as you stay with indirect heat I think you’ll be ok. That’s what I love about my smoker. Indirect but I can crank them temps to 500 to sear if I’m doing a steak or control it down to 150 Let me know if I can help. Oh, and who knows—maybe they didn’t taste good at all.
Then again maybe I just downloaded the images from the web

Re: Food Thread
I bought a Masterchef electric smoker from Sam's Club. I'm on second one now, I don't advise cleaning inside with pressure washer.
Love it. Haven't been out for ribs since I purchased it.
My ribs: I like baby back the best.
Night before: remove membrane on back, load up with dry rub, wrap with cling wrap, and place in refridgerator over night. Remove next day in time for them to get to room temperature.
Soak wood chips at least an hour. I use apple plus put apple juice the the drip pan to help keep ribs moist. I set temp on smoker to 225 degrees.
Add wood chips, adjust air until you get good smoke. Put ribs on for 2-2.5 hours, checking only for smoke. At that point, I take ribs out and wrap in heavy duty aluminum foil so they will stay moist and cook in their own juices. Usually about 2 hours. Then I open and add sauce. Usually do at least three racks of ribs and put different sauce on each. Baby Ray's Sweet Chiplote is on of my favs.

Re: Food Thread
I to have a masterchef or built I don remember, but I find it is hard to get clean smoke from it unless its in the dead of winter. I have tried a small chimney, wide open top, wide open bottom, and everything in between. Do you have any tips on getting nice clean blue smoke in warmer temps?Krob1114 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 6:38 am I bought a Masterchef electric smoker from Sam's Club.

Re: Food Thread
Okay, for a slightly different tract...
I fry my steaks now and doubt I'll ever go back to grilling. Two minutes per side in a super hot cast iron skillet with lots of butter, then 4 to 5 minutes with the skillet in the oven at 375 (for a thick cut). Then let it rest for 6 to 8 minutes.
Mmmmmm

Re: Food Thread
Yes I know what you're saying. Try opening the door, letting some heat out, then the element that heats and causes wood chips to burn will be more active. I love ribs with little or lots of smoke. The rub overnight gives them enough flavor for me. The Rendevous Rib Dry Rub is available at local stores here. I usually buy second bottle before first one gets low.dustinm wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 6:50 amI to have a masterchef or built I don remember, but I find it is hard to get clean smoke from it unless its in the dead of winter.

Re: Food Thread
I got a flat cast iron plate to put on my grill and wife loves the steaks....seems like it achieves the same result as you mentioned...I'll have to add butter.Ytmsn wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 7:34 am Okay, for a slightly different tract...

Re: Food Thread
I’ve cooked steaks in the cast iron skillet and they are awesome. Still prefer a reverse sear slow smoke. Season steaks to your taste them out on the smoker at 175 for 60-70 mins. Pull off and wrap. Steaks will be at about 100f internally. Crank the grill to 500 and sear for 2-4 mins a side then off at 125-128. Off the grill and wrap. Stand for 10 mins and the come up to 135/138 or an awesome medium rare. The slow smoke at the beginning relaxes the fibers and makes them fork tender

So true...I tell my wife I work out not to look good for her but to take my daily caloric intake to the max allowed on MFP each day.

Re: Food Thread
I grabbed some of the pre-seasoned St. Louis ribs at Costco over the weekend. It was just going to be me and the wife, so I only put 1 of the racks on and froze the rest.
I put them on my RecTeq at 225 for 3 hours, then wrapped them in butcher paper for 2 hours, then 45 more minutes unwrapped. Then let it rest for 30 minutes. The last 2 times I have made them I have been disappointed, but this is the first time I followed the recipe exactly for the time and the resting time.
Unfortunately, the kids were over but they originally said they weren't going to stay for dinner., then a couple of neighbors came over to help with next weekend's wedding decorations. By the time the ribs were done, I had to split the ribs 6 ways instead of 2 ways. While we didn't get alot to eat, they were really good. Sorry, no photos, as I was a bit frazzled.
