Bought a smoker - Cooking ideas

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Just bought a Camp Chef smoker with a sear box.  Looking forward to dialing it in and potentially getting rid of my grill.  Anyone smoke and have some tasty thoughts?

Good stuff here

I find myself using the smoker primarily for chicken. I smoke ribs in the bbq. Almost the season again

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Good info above.  Thanks.

I've smoked a lot of food.  Chicken, different type of ribs, turkey, brisket, ham, pork butt/shoulder, rib eye steak & roast and cornish game hens.  Grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. Bacon with brown sugar comes out delish.

Veggies come out great as well.  Brussel Sprouts, potatoes, squash, zucchini, asparagus and corn on the cob.

You can pretty much smoke anything.

corn on the cob wrapped in aluminum foil. comes out perfect. when the foil starts to change color, it's time to turn in over.

Tri tip is a really good meat to start with. It’s pretty quick, ready in a couple of hours. Hard to mess up if you have a good thermometer.

look up Santa Maria style Tri tip to get rub ideas.

brisket.

i don't have a smoker so, if it turns out good let me know and i'll volunteer to verify.

Meatloaf, mac and cheese and frozen pizza are easy to do and come out tasty.

My favorite.  To cook and to eat.   I am anxious to do one now that the weather is good, but i like to do those for parties/events.  Not sure i can do a socially distant brisket for my family of four.

I have a camp chef as well.  One of my family's favorites in a spicy teriyaki boneless pork chop with grilled pineapple, served with rice and asparagus.  Super easy on the smoker.

You have to smoke a pork butt too.  Pulled pork is really easy.

Reverse sear steaks, using that sear box at the end are awesome (get a set of grillgrates for the sear box...huge difference)

I love smoked pork belly. Put that on a BLT and it’s divine

can you smoke weed out of a smoker?

Smoked T-bones in that bad boy today.  Fu#king amazeballs.  Along with some baked potatoes, asparagus and bacon wrapped jalapeno's.  Nobody was disappointed.  Easily the best steak I've ever made.  The searbox that I added to the smoker "sealed" the deal and finished the meat like I probably could never with other smokers.  We're doing a brisket tomorrow!

That sounds like an invitation. I’m in! I’ve wanted to try brisket so what time and where?

and just so you know, I’m bringing Lou, Blarg, and Adam with me.

You guys are totally welcome to stop on by.  Fly into Portland, rent a car or if you're hard up 'cause the stimulus hasn't come yet I'll pick you up, we'll drive north into Washington about 25 minutes later, Q time.  Should come around 530 and we can have a few drinks to lubricate, then dinner at 6-615.  Sound ok?

Aw man, 6 is too late for Adam. He has trampoline time from 6:30-7:30 every night.  Blarg is in bed by 7 and Lou has dance class on the weekends.

maybe another time.

Brisket is my favorite

Yesterday on my pellet grill

Smoked salmon today on my weber genisis with only a smoker box. Kept it low and slow at 160 degrees box temperature and finished for a 1/2 hour at 200. My wife loves smoked fish and approved of the finished product. I don't expect it to last to the weekend.
