Wayne I noticed that you use a steel strip inside the tank to create the lip. Do you find that it leaks less smoke that way? I an still looking for a 250 gallon propane tank to build my trailer smoker out of but until I find it I'm doing my…
The weather is getting a slight bit cooler so I decided I better pull out the ol Dutch ovens and get some potatoes cooked up. I have a outdoor fire pit that worked great to cook in. I used turkey bacon this time because we had it and I also used…
When I read this headline I thought the same thing that Michael stated in the first sentence of his post :-). Why? Personally I love a crispy brown chicken skin. I have also rubbed butter and spice under the skin and removing it afterwards if you…
Thanks.. About 2 am this morning, while tring to sleep - it came to me what it was. I did see your pict some time ago. Will be making some this month. thaks for jogging my old brain :)
Anthony your refinished smoker looks brand new!! I have to agree with the grill paint these days doesn't seem to hold up very long, Powder coat is much better but costs alot more.
I just added some pictures of grilling salmon...check it out. It looks dark because of the marinade but was very moist and very good. I have not done anything witht the smoker yet, you are right the front comes off and so does the top. (I'll send a picture of it.) The wind has stopped so now it is time to do more grilling or maybe some smoking. My wife bought me some chips the other day, so I better use them...don't want to hurt her feelings. Ha!
You Da Man, Hey thanks for the mug of Beer! Thanks also for the tips on the Salmon I am going to try it,or should I saw Iam going to grill it Thursday night. I will use the tips you gave thank you so much. This web site makes me hungery! Thanks again
Anthony, experiment using different herb/spices you like. It all depends on what your rubbing, I use a different rub for the different meat I am preparing.
Anthony,
In regards to tips for a good grilled pizza. One of the first things I do is to pre cook my sausage and pepperoni in a skillet and drain well. Even if I'm making it in a conventional oven. You just wouldn't believe how much grease comes out of pepperoni. That prevents you from ending up with a soggy crust and maybe a grease fire under your pizza.
The next is kinda up to you depending on how you like your crust. Your favorite crust will work fine. The trick is in how crispy you want it which relates it how much direct heat you give your pizza. Obviously, the more direct heat the crispier the crust.
The toppings are all yours. However, the thicker the pizza, the longer cooking time and possibly lower temperature that will be needed to prevent burning while at the same time cooking all the way through. It's no different than meat, the bigger the hunk of meat, the lower and slower you need to cook it to prevent it being done, or burnt on the outside and raw in the middle.
That's the best tips I know to give you, and as always for me it's charcoal. It kinda gives it that wood fired oven flavor.
HAVE FUN WITH IT!
TTFN,
CHUCK
