Smoking & Grilling

I was concerned about it being so cold but it didn’t seem to affect the smoker temp. Delicious!

@dannyj Sounds like a much better way to spend black friday rather than spending hours standing in line somewhere! Hope it turned out great for you!

@congo Glad it worked out well for you and I always love to hear about more people following WaltonsTV on YouTube! If there’s ever another type of video you want to see us do, be sure and let us know!

@bigruckus Were the sausage casings natural or collagen? A lot of times, high heat will make a casing peel, or over cooking can too. Was your grill really, really hot, and did the casings come off only towards the end of grilling or towards the beginning too?

I never responded, but I used your process and everyone who had one said they were amazing steaks!

I just read an article listing the 17 best things to buy on Labor Day weekend; while grills did make the list, charcoal did not. Must have been written by a vegetarian. I’ve seen that both Lowe’s and HD have the Kingsford twins packs for $9.88, probably other places as well for those of us who like to stock up.

@mdseaside Nice! I always find it interesting to see what guys can dream up and build for a homemade smoker!!

I have been using hi-temp cheese for many years and love it. Try giving it a couple hours of cold smoke and let it set overnight. Then add it to your sausage. Also is great in brats.

I would do something like this: http://diyready.com/diy-smoker-pallet-smokehouse/ A hot plate or small propane burner for a heat source and a smoke generator like those from A-Maze-N products and you’re set! maybe…

I finished my pulled pork yesterday. Turned out delicious! I was happy the Minion method worked. The coals lasted for hours. After my coals died down I ended up burning oak logs for coals.

I’ve had my new OK Joe’s smoker since Father’s day and didn’t know how much of a difference the temp gauge that came with the smoker was off till I picked up a digital grill thermometer yesterday from the West side Walton’s. The digital gauge is reading a steady 225 - 230 degrees vs the smoker thermometer reading 275 degrees!

@Tomg There’s also a cool new firestarter from A-Maze-N Products to help get your wood pellets started too! It’s called A-Maze-N Gel Firestarter If you are just using a lighter though, a propane torch is much faster than a standard lighter. For others who may not have seen these smoker tubes before, you can watch our video to see what they are and how they work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnYL8H6EF28

I got my catalog after hunting season. I plan on trying alot of things this hunting season.

@SamOller We don’t unfortunately; they only come as the set.

Used the new basket for the first time last weekend. Great tool for the grill. I admit I darkened the onions a little too much but all the other veggies came out great. Used an olive oil spray and seasoned them, per Austin’s suggestion. It’s a keeper. Glad I ordered 2 of them, one for the lake, one for home.

Stuffed burgers are taken to the next level when smoked. I love the flavor the smoke adds.
