What's on the smoker today?

[BackofBeyond]

Wifey wanted steak tonight so I pulled these out of the freezer. Smoked to 115, then reverse seared in a smoking hot cast iron pan.

This was just going down in the cast iron.

Got a nice sockeye fillet I plan on smoking this evening. Just started a dry brine of kosher salt and brown sugar I'll let it sit till this afternoon.

 

[WildWill]

After 8 hours in the dry brine pulled it out rinsed off. I then lightly covered the meat with honey before sprinkling my favorite fish rub on it. Smoking at around 190 degrees with maple wood.

My go-to for smoking beef is 50/50 salt and black pepper. Impossible to get to much on. Keep temps 225 or less until meat temp hits 165 or 170, then wrap it in foil or brown paper bag. Bump the heat up to 300 or so, and cook it until the meat relaxes, somewhere around 190 - 195. Let it rest for 30 minutes, then down the hatch.

I learned to smoke down in Texas, where sauce is for hiding problems with your cooking. So I say no.

But if you like sauce, let ‘er rip tater chip. Just don’t sauce to early, or the sugar in the sauce will burn.

Solid advice above. I like low and slow for beef ribs 225 until the internal temp hits 160-170. Then wrap in paper and keep going till a probe slides through like butter anywhere from 190-201. Let rest a 30 minutes to a hour. Never sauced them while cooking if you want I'd heat the sauce lightly and add after resting. I keep the rub simple salt, pepper, garlic, and maybe some cayenne pepper or paprika.

Put the garden in today too, but instead it's Miller lite, and grilled New York strips.
