Vegetarian here. How best cook/smoke my corn? Foil?
No way. Straight on the grill. Gets a nice little char that melds well with the sweetness of the corn.Vegetarian here. How best cook/smoke my corn? Foil?
People always wrap it in foil, but that just keeps the corn from getting the grill flavor. May as well throw it in the oven.No way. Straight on the grill. Gets a nice little char that melds well with the sweetness of the corn.
Nice rig.Somewhat smoker related... I just made this table for my BGE. Turned out pretty good and classes up the backyard a little. View attachment 8279
Nice rig.
From all the posts it looks like we need to start another forum. Kind of points to the lack of football news.
My buddy went through all the options earlier this year. Ended up with a traeger. He loves the results, but claims it is the opposite of an analog experience. Said its like playing a video game. I love the whole smoke in my face, whisky in my hand experience of the Big Green Egg.We have a traeger pellet smoker which I like for some reasons and don't like for others:
-On the good side, for low and slow slow smoking it does a great job and you can just put the meat on and let it smoke all day.
-On the bad side, its more difficult to maintain than advertised. Moisture, grease and ash are constantly clogging up the fire pot and you have to stop what you are doing to clean it out. Also it doesn't get as hot as traeger claims.
Brinkman offset with a propane starter. Pecan wood.
I'd argue this is the best smoker in Texas...
What brand and model of smoker do you use? I am looking for a good one. Currently, I'm thinking of an offset, the one in particular is Oklahoma Joe's Highland. It seems pretty good for a backyard mesquite warrior... any thoughts, other suggested smokers, or experience with it?

I too use a pellet smoker and they are very easy to use. Have a weber smoky mountain and it is good as well but requires more attention. The pellet grill keeps with 10* of your target temperature as long as it has a fuel source. Go to smoking-meat.com (not a joke) and the guy Jeff Phillips has a website with recipes and reviews of smokers etc. Sign up for his newsletter and he will send you a weekly recipe with step by step directions including photos so its very easy to follow. His website has many archived recipes as well.
