bouche Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Has anyone dabbled into smoking with wood? I started a few years ago but found it very tedious and difficult using a standard weber grill. Ms.Hux just picked me up a weber smokey mountian smoker and I can't believe how easy it is to work the smoke now. Got ribs going.I was considering getting a Bradley smoker for a while now but considering it's dependency on both electricity and proprietary pucks, it isn't the right fit to enjoy the art of smoking. If the power goes out for a few days, I'll be the guy on the block cooking the food.Anyone have any apple trees that have fallen or need to be cut down? I want some apple wood chunks!

peipunk Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Well! It just turns out that I now have The World's Best Smoker and Grill in stock at my store! Big Green Egg It may be a bit unsightly on the outside, but its all business on the inside. I can't wait to try out the demo unit this weekend.

SolarGarlic Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 The Big Green Egg is fuggin' rad! We keep one out at the cabin and cook 3/4 of our meals on it!Among countless other things, you can do a KILLER pizza in 5 minutes or less. Nice, thin, bubbly crust...the thing gets like 700 degrees inside or something nutty like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peipunk Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) That is one of the beauties of the Egg. It is a grill, smoker and a brick oven. By throttling the air at the top and bottom, you can precisely control the temperature. You can also get plate setters and baking stones for indirect cooking and baking. You can sear steaks at 700 degrees. It is very versatile and is the best selling kamodo style cooker in the world.Do I sound like a salesman?I am looking forward to the marketing guys from Ontario flying down to do a big cookout/demo day here at my store on July 9.

bouche Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I was really into getting a big green egg last year but they are pricey. I can now do everything I need to with a weber charcoal grill and weber smoker.gonna cure and smoke some pork belly in the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I just got a Napoleon Apollo Smoker and hope to do a fish in the coming month.Used it as just a charcoal grill today to check the seal around the seams and cook up some beef that should have been cooked yesterday.I was considering sealing the seams with fiberglass rope or high heat silicone caulk. I thought it might be worth my time but I'm pretty patient and am willing to let it seal itself as it seasons if that's a better option.Does anyone have any good tips on prepping a vertical smoker to perform better?Advice?
