I have some bullhead I'm going to smoke this weekend, anyone know if it will make other meats taste fishy if in there at the same time? I don't want fishy tasting pork loin.
I’ve never tried it with bullhead but soaking the fish in milk will pull out some of the odor in the fish.
If you get into smoking much by a vac sealer. Smoked meat for atleast 6-9 months holds really well.
This. If you're going to smoke on Saturday AM, I would get it out Thursday night and let it set until Friday AM and put into fridge. Then, whenever time allows Friday for prep work it's ready to go.
Like you said, depending on the size of it, it could take a day or two. I have taken a 15 lb one out and has taken 3 days before. If you take it from the freezer to fridge. If you let it set on the counter and thaw, it would obviously take less time. I have taken partially frozen briskets on the smoker before but I start them at 150 for at least an hour and then bump the temps up 20 degrees or so every hour for at least the first 4-5 hours (love my GMG WiFi with the ability to set up profiles on the phone app). Have seen people trying the hot and fast method of cutting the time in half, but I still prefer low and slow. Nothing fancy just kosher salt and pepper at 50/50 rate.
THIS. And the best way to reheat is to toss the whole bag into boiling water. Keeps it from drying out.
Last Sunday I bought a 4 pound brisket from Sam's and put a rub on and covered it over night. Put it on the smoker Monday and left it on 225 all day with no attention as we were gone. Came home after 8 hours or so and it was a bit over done, but so effing good nevertheless. In fact I've had a brisket sandwich every lunch this week. Sadly I'm eating the last one now.
They were pretty good and I don't like fish really. I only eat catfish, cod and tuna. I'd throw em on there again but they aren't something I would consider a whole meal, need another meat to go with. A good different taste in small doses.Bullheads?
