Take two hamburger patties, put cheese in between and then seal up the edges to make one big cheese stuffed burger.  I used gouda and smoked the burgers instead of grilling.


How did you prep and cook the rack of lamb?  I have a leg in the freezer.  Any suggestions?

How long did you smoke the chiles?

AS, you can go 10 or more on the Egg. You just have to add a batch of coal. It's a pain in the ass but it works.


But good grief, I'm going to have to bust out the egg this weekend because the last couple pages of this thread....


Tdaver what are you smoking with? Stuff looks great  :thumbs:

I've done rack of lamb by rubbing it w/ olive oil then rubbing it w/ herb, using lump and hickory at 325 until somewhere between medium rare/rare

more roasting than smoking

How long did you smoke the chiles?

if it's a high quality rack, I do as clams says on the prep and then smoke it at 225 to 135-140 (I lay it down on a bed of rosemary boughs and crushed garlic cloves)

if it's a low quality rack, I pour over a 1:2:2 mixture of basalmic, soy and worcestershire and flip it a couple times, then finish it up the same

on smoking the chiles, lightly brush with oil and bake or smoke until the skin starts to peel, then take them off and peel the skin and use the chiles for your sauce (same method as you would roasting in an oven)


how much salt do you brine that in?

I know that you weren't asking me but if it's a quality rack, doesn't need a brine, just the same as a quality cut of beef

i haven't brined any beef or pork, or lamb.  i might brine a brisket sometime but haven't had the need to.  easier way to say that is that i only brine poultry/chicken/turkey.  i marinate salmon before smoking in chardonnay and fresh dill, but that's not a brine.

Warning: N00b here.  I've been researching smokers for awhile now and have decided it's time to get one.  Because of my living situation I cannot get a charcoal smoker.  Does anyone on here have any experience with propane smokers?  Any advice on picking out one?  TIA

i'm assuming you can't have charcoal on a wood deck b/c of city code? 

i'd recommend electric smokers over propane.

That's correct.  My fear with electric is that I've read a lot of reviews about the heating elements going out and then the smoker is just SOL.    Also in my current situation I do not have any outlets outside.  I would be forced to leave a sliding door open for power & that's not a viable option for 6+ hours.

Should I waste my time with a propane smoker, or just wait a few years until I can purchase and use a charcoal smoker?  TIA

yeah the electrics do have an issue with the elements going out.  i've read the same.

i can't give you any advice related to the propanes although i have no idea how much gas they go through in a 12 hour smoke at 225?

maybe an option would be to buy a charcoal smoker and use it in your parking lot or a sidewalk close to your building.

Big time FYI here: Tailgating policy at the Fiesta Bowl does not allow charcoal grills or smokers. Really bummed out. Had a pit smoker lined up for a tailgate and found out moments later that it wasn't allowed. The result of a city ordinance and a fire ban. T & P's.

I did look into the dual fuel smokers.  You can use either propane or charcoal to smoke.  I'm thinking that might be an option for me because it allows me to smoke now and when I move somewhere I can use charcoal it would still be a good option.

12# butt 12 hours in

also, just dropped a 3# salmon on:  did it differently today, brined it for 8 hours and then slightly air cured it, now I'm gonna blast it with heavy smoke and low heat, hopefully making a great cold appetizer on a cracker with cream cheese

I doesn't add nearly the sodium you might think.  Some sodium transfers via diffusion, no osmosis, etc.  Here's some light reading that explains in in insanely great detail.
