Mind if I smoke? 🥩🍖

[Chookwagn]

Thought I would start a thread to see if anyone is interested or if there are any pit masters out there...??

I'm getting into smoking meat and thought I would share my journey and hopefully find some masters out there to learn and get tips from.

I have 3 bbqs now starting with a std gas burner bbq with a hood. Which is good for quick cooking anything from large cuts right down to sausages and anything else that might need to be cooked

Then I have a Weber kettle bbq. A great little kettle that is charcoal or briquette fired and has worked very well for me for about 10 years. Perfect for cooking med sized cuts of meat like rib eyes and whole fillets.

Last Xmas I brought myself a pit smoker bbq which I got all excited about and am now getting better at learning how to use. This beast is very different to the other bbqs and requires a lot of fire management (which the other bbqs dont) but the results are amazing! Cooking anything from brisket and ribs to smoking salmon and even cheese. I love this type of cooking and the experience of spending all day tending a fire and getting amazing tasting meat at the end of it. I'm in the process of doing a few internal mods to it to get some better heat control etc but so so much fun and amazing tasting meat.

This is a picanha / rump cap that I slow cooked/ smoked on my kettle bbq

It was about 3 degrees underdone but so soft and juicy! So good

On and off brother on and off. I have a stalled project. I'm building a barbecue pit with cinder block and fire brick. I've already got the slab poured and the roof over it everything stopped cuz I had to use my money for something else.

I do have a ton of stuff that I've done on the gas grill trying to work with low heat high heat side but there's nothing like a real fire pit hopefully by the end of this year I should have something going together

Damn dude your butchers are generous Picanha is huge compared to the ones that we get down here on our butcher shops

Pretty much all of my meat is smoked. Just recently the mangalitza red wattle was butchered. Homegrown meat smoked or grilled is simply the best.
