Hello everyone,
So I was sitting here thinking about how I start my smokes (mainly minion method) and began to ponder if I was setting myself up for bad smoke or poor taste. I was reading on another website that there is inherent flaw with this method because coals are constantly being lit and not being able to settle down first (while meat is on). I can’t find it for the life of me otherwise I’d post for reference.
I have not had any bad smoke taste but again, I have not started any other way so perhaps I’m used to it by now? Do any of you get any differences in flavor profile utilizing minion vs not?
Guess I’m just starting to wonder if I should allow all my coal to ignite before putting meat on, let’s say for non-long-haul cooks - say ribs?
I typically wait till I see clearer smoke (not white heavy stuff), about 45mins to an hour.
Thoughts?
Feel free to tell me to stop thinking so much! : p
