Amazing ribs is the only website you need. SCIENCE!!
Do you guys wrap with tin foil? Try butchers paper next time. It was a tip when I lived down south. Still better with no wrap, but the “Texas Crutch” allows a full size brisket without cooking through the night.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Yes, I have wrapped with tin foil. Where dO I find butchers paper!? I have checked multiple places to no avail. Also, I have read that you want butcher paper that has no wax.

Starting to get my feet wet with my smoker. Only done chicken wings and thighs and had two different experiences and want to ask more seasoned users for some help. I found my chicken wings came out with very tough skin. I used a brown sugar, chili flake rub. The meat was great but some of the wings you could barely bite through the skin. The thighs came out better but only used normal BBQ sauce on those. Any tips on the wings?
It’s not the rub, it’s the temp. Chicken skin needs a higher temp for it to become bite through. You also don’t need a whole lot of time. Hard to say what to tweak without the details
Wings were in a 16 hour brine, taken out and rubbed with the brown sugar and chili mix. Put wings directly on the racks in the smoker. Smoked at 175* for 3 hours then 350* for 5 mins a side.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Time wise seemed too long but i really wasn't sure. I couldn't get my thermometer to stay in a wing long enough to properly measure the meat temp.
yup...unless its a turkey that you are reverse searing, poulty isn't a low and slow meat.
Waaaay too long for wings. Hotter shorter.

Don’t brine wings either, that’s probably the main cause of the skin issue. But yeah, way too low 275-325F and under 1.5hrs
I think the tips are taken off before the wings are packaged.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
22,000 steps by noon on Saturday rewarded me with 3 nice Ruffed Grouse. Brined them overnight (breast on body) in salt water and smoked them alongside some Steelhead Trout and peppers. Rubbed the Grouse with olive oil, salt and cracked pepper, and then brushed with garlic butter a few times; soaked the Steelhead in italian dressing and then brushed with garlic butter throughout the smoke. Nothing too fancy but it was a delicious, fresh meal.

FYI, steelhead trout at the store in pretty well all of canada are overpriced rainbow trout grown in a fish farm in Lake Diefenbaker. They never touch saltwater.. http://www.wildweststeelhead.com/
Tasted delicious and happy to be supporting a Canadian business!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Nothing wrong with it, except that "steelhead" have a link to saltwater (and you can't get wild steelhead in canada as keeping them is illegal..). #fishnerdThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Well someone better tell Costco then, because they've got it labelled as Steelhead.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Not every steelhead will return to salt water though. Some do stay their entire lives in freshwater but then they tend to just get referred to as rainbows even though they were the result of an ocean run steelhead hatch.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
