Keeping my SmokeFire!


 
Butcher paper was harder to come by a few years ago, last time I was in Lowe’s they had some in the BBQ section.
I’d probably go foil next time, this was a lean cut and the butcher paper sucked up a lot of juice form the meat.

I've got no problem baking biscuits, cookies, etc. on parchment, but that's underneath. On sheet pans, I've found the rolled paper to be problematic, so I buy decks of flat sheets.

Butcher paper, make sure you get unlined/uncoated. Some butcher papers are waxed or otherwise coated on one side, and that I wouldn't want to use it to wrap hot food.

The FDA doesn't have an issue with aluminum but it helped kill my mom, they don't have an issue with many pesticides and other chemicals, etc. Yet I for one have discovered an actual effect on blood sugar from glyphosate (Roundup) residue as a Type II diabetic. I honestly have no real trust of the FDA

Put on a pork tenderloin for dinner. Smoked at 200 until 120 and searing it off. The reverse sear might be the SmokFire’s🔥 biggest plus!
