I'd suggest against the fridge style ones, I used to like the ease of them but they just don't smoke as well as the big black barrel wood/charcoal kinds... You can also build your own like I did, mine only set me back a couple hundred all told and it has a BBQ grill attached...

Can you link some pics. I'm currently using the Pit Barrel Cooker.

Here are pics of mine from this morning...








Pretty bad ass. I have began researching and collecting options for our next house for something similar. We plan on moving in the next few years and I'm not putting something in for someone else to enjoy. Lol.

Grinding chorico is an affront to the sacred sausage. Of course yours is probably the garbage Mexican kind.

Lol... Yeah it's mex,... It's the single greatest burger recipe I've found/devveloped... Just stupid level flavor...

And then there's tri tip... Cali's gift/contribution to BBQ

Today I smoked some Thai game hen and some brown sugar brined and honey coated salmon... Made fish and 'chicken' tacos with a home made pico... There were both very good.

I finally followed a friend's (and the forum's) advice and converted a grill into a smoker and produced the above. I did a rack and half of ribs and 13ish lbs of pork butt.

It was so motivating and delicious, that I ordered the PBC and it just arrived. I'm going to do a few racks of ribs this weekend, some chicken and probably some type of steak, maybe a tritip.

I still want to smoke some veggies and potatoes as well.

Acamp do you still cook these to medium? I'm throwing some of these together this afternoon to grill/smoke tomorrow morning. I was just wondering if it's safe to cook chorizo to medium?

They sound delicious so now I have to try them. I have about 4 racks of ribs going in the PBC right now, rubbed on Memphis dust and just made a couple diffferent sauces to try with them. I'll post pics when they are done.

That's what I do yes... I've never had issues, but I don't do bronto burgers either... I do them thin enough ( basically a typical patty width) to ensure they reach the correct internal temp


I also add Montreal steak season to the patties, just me.

The garlic herb butter is just a large stick of butter, diced up fresh parsley, and basil, and a shit ton of garlic... Melt the butter then add the rest,... Put it in a bowl and bast both sides while you cook, watch for flares... It's good stuff bro, hope you enjoy it.

Chorizo is cured and smoked, i.e. fully cooked already. You could eat it cold out of the fridge if you want. It's like a skinny pepperoni.

By the way if you can get it in your area, Portuguese chourico is way better than Spanish chorizo, don't let Camp tell you otherwise.

Mexican chorizo is fresh, uncooked ground pork dawg, it's different from Spanish chorizo that's already smoked and in link form... You need to cook it... The seasoning in Mexican and Spanish chorizo are totally different as well... Perhaps you've never had Mexican chorizo?

Mex chorizo is typically a breakfast thing... But I, for being a huge mex fan, don't like it much, it's super fatty and insanely greasy, IMO... I do use it in two recipes where the fat content serves itself well with the bold spices.... these burgers and my Albondigas soup, both are to die for...

FYI VDP, If you used Spanish chorizo or some other form then you're breaking new ground with this recipe.

I'm sure the northeastern hitler youth would hate it... I mean, it has flavor (gasp) and all that horrible jazz.... ;)

Eff that. The Portugese stuff has visible chunks of fat and the casing keeps the grease in.

You ever had haggis? It tastes like heart disease.
