"Or just suck it up and figure out a way to smoke them at the tailgate for the hour/hour half?"
I went thru a think talking this situation over with Terry Landgraftj.....if you're crunched for time, make them up ahead, do indirect @ a higher heat, smoke or no smoke, either way & you should be fine........
They don't hold all that well after cooking, reheating is something I've done quite a bit of before but they never seem to be near as good (some people will say this way is fine & I've had it be at least pretty good sometimes), but they tend to fall apart, flavors are lessened & they're just generally goofy after transport & handling................
Direct is too much bacon grease to have dripping w/o a fire happening.....
Here's our mails back & forth.....
From Terry :
Turd master, I need your help. Cooking for my daughters HS grad party Saturday and was wondering if I can cook some turds around 350-400F for 1/2 hour or so indirect? Or do you recommend lower temps and longer times?
Howdy, terry !!!
Yes, you can do that.....I would always suggest longer & lower, but a quick cook is possible.........maybe shoot for 325 for 45+, if you can......one other possibility is lite more kettles.....
I have kind of a skewed viewpoint, in that I'm using dampened shread most of the time & it runs different than dry wood blocks.......I've been using those some lately so I can be on the same planet as everyone else, just for questions like this...............
The chunks will work fine, but keep in mind, the hotter the fire, the more indirect food needs to be on these things......keep it back farther from the burn,. the hotter you run & it should go just fine.....
