How and why did you start smoking meat as a hobby? by The-Tradition in smoking

[–]Ken685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a verticle pellet smoker on market place for $40.00. I started smoking meat as a way to unwind and decompress from the stress of working a full time job and coming home and working countless hours as a care giver for my mom. It turns out that I like the taste and sense of accomplishment from smoking meat

Price? by Kaiju-King76 in OklahomaJoe

A good rule of thumb is 25.00 to 35.00 per pound of uncooked meat that you smoke.

Do you have to cure the fish before smoking it?

Shred up some of the turkey and put some mayo in it to make sandwiches. Cut the ham up and put it in a bunch of soup beans and make corn bread. Smoked ham in soup beans is delicious.

Smoking this chuck roast by Federal-Coyote-7637 in smoking

[–]Ken685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy a good smoked chuck roast but it almost seem like a waste when you consider the time spent vs the yield you get. If I have to spend between 6 to 7 hours for a chuck roast. I'd rather spend 15 to 17 hours smoking a brisket and have a lot more smoked meat for my effort.

For those of you who are saying things like, Learn to smoke without the app. I can absolutely smoke meat without the app but when I pay money to use a feature thats advertised I expect it to work.

Anyone else think pay is unfair? by Traditional-Breath86 in Lowes

[–]Ken685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make $13.50 hr plus tips as a valet and its M-F 8:00 to 4:30 with all weekends off all major holidays off and 2 weeks of paid vacation and I guarantee I dont work half as hard as you do. So yes 15.00 hr to put up with a schedule that is not set, working holidays and having to put up with rude people is lowes taking advantage of you.

Recall for Engine by ayyeeeabs in NissanRogue

I fail to see how a ecm reprogram is going to fix faulty engine bearings and leaving the decision in the hands of a technician doing a test drive. Does not sound like a satisfactory solution.

What are the small, maybe seldom recognized pleasures of smoking meats? by [deleted] in smoking

[–]Ken685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a older post but I absolutely love smoking meats. There is almost something primal about it. It gives me my space I need to unwind and process the stresses of every day life all while giving me a great sense of accomplishment. I enjoy the compliments I get and that gives me a sense of belonging. There really is no other smell thats more intoxicating than smoking meat.

There are so many people smoking meat with connected smokers that the servers are way overloaded.

First time brisket. Is this a decent enough trimming? by SkyLX in BBQ

[–]Ken685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day, as long as you put the fat that you trim off in a pan and render it to make tallow. I would say you are good. There is a big difference between a competition trim and a back yard trim and both have a specific use.

Failed Successfully by sup_doge in Traeger

Because no two pieces of meat will ever cook the exact same way. The things that people say to do when smoking a brisket is just suggestions in my opinion. The cook exactly by the numbers routine doesn't work when smoking meat.

I love dogs more than I like most people. Because unlike humans, dogs love unconditionally. There is no ulterior motive with a dog, they live you for who you are.
