Got a mancrate for Christmas with a Salt block in it. While I grill/smoke constantly even through winter in East Tn I have never used one. Any tips or do's and don'ts with them?

I finally settled on the Barrel House Cooker 14D. Did not need a large capacity smoker and this one fits the bill for me, and can still smoke more than six can eat at a meal. Love the way it smokes and cooks. Very efficient on charcoal. So far around 6 hours on one load of fuel. Have done a chicken, lamb chuck steaks, a ham, and a tri-tip. All were excellent. Especially for a rookie smoker. Master of a grill, but never had a smoker. And you don't add very much extra wood for smoking.

Just the Costco traeger blend, because it's cheap and isn't overpowering.

For the rub, I just googled something "easy" and it turned out to be fantastic. for every 2 lbs of salmon, use 1 tsp of salt, pepper, and dill, and 2 tbsp of brown sugar. It was so good. They recommended letting it sit an hour, but we just did 30 minutes and that worked.

Has anyone ever tried UMAi dry age bags? I’ve been wanting to dry age my steaks and meats and these seemed like the most efficient way to get it done for me since I can do it in my own fridge with minimal room taken up. Wife got it for me for my birthday so first test run will start on Wednesday.

Looks interesting. I've always used the raised rack and cheesecloth method. This looks like a cleaner option.

Before I found the bags I was going to do the cheesecloth method and my wife was not very happy about the idea of a possible mess in the fridge. She was quick to let me know she would buy these for me instead. Haha.

Wife went to Walmart and found a 6 lb prime rib on sale for $33. Our maiden voyage with prime rib was stellar at Christmas and that’s all she’s raved about since. Gotta freeze it tho...which sucks but $33 compared to the $123 I forked out at Costco.

1st swing at Dry aging my own beef in my fridge is underway. Packed an 11lb NY Strip Loin into the UMAI bag and vac sealed it. Took a few tries but finally got a great seal with minimal to no air inside. Now we wait! Going to let this one go 30-35 days

What's the grade from the one from Walmart? That's where the price difference comes from on those larger cuts.

Better question is how big was that rascal you bought at Costco?

Ok, who has a good chicken breast recipe for smoking? I have a wing recipe in my repertoire...these are the ingredients for it and I'm looking for something distinctly different from this:

Depends on what you're looking for. I've had good luck with Caribbean flavors for smoking.

For the brine:
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • ½ cup dark rum
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons salt
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 tablespoon ginger
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
For the rub:
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2-3 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

8-9 Ib I think. Wal-Mart does that blue ribbon for their top grade and it was Angus...so at the worst it ain’t garbage. Wife fell in love with the kosher salt coating oven method, so I won’t get to smoke this one.
