New smoker on the way

[rb]

Got another new Stumps Stretch headed this way. Going to get it seasoned and rolling for the holidays. Menu so far this week. Cooked wings for some folks to take to the mountains this weekend. 4 briskets and 6 butts for hunters going to KY. Going to be doing lots of chicken for dinner at church Sunday and since its going to be cold this weekend, a BIG pot of Brunswick Stew

Havn't had any good Brunswick Stew for over 20 years. It's just not on the menu at BBQ restaurant's up here.

Here is how I do mine
I put to whole chickens in pans and put them in the smoker. After they are done I skim the fat off of broth and de-bone the chicken and place in a large pot. I then put in about 3 lbs of left over brisket, 2 gallons of peeled whole tomatoes, 10 pounds of peeled and cut in half potatoes, 5 pounds of onions cut up and 2 pounds on dried lima beans. Put the pot back in the smoker. Stir often, cook for about 2.5 hours. Then add 5 cans of baby lima beans, 5 cans of creamed corn and 3 cans of kernel corn. Cook for another 4 hours and stir often. Yes it is a LOT of stew, but sales good and I'll always let folks know when I'm cooking it and plenty of people show up to "help stir"
This does do great cooking over an open fire but you have to stir constantly.
I freeze a bunch of it and my son takes it back to TN with him. He'll heat it up and put it in a big Thermos to take on those winter fishing trips to Dale Hollow, it sure does warm you up

rb, that pot in the video looked a lot like the cast iron wash pot my Granny used to heat wash water and render lard in. I take it you're not using one that heavy.

Not in the smoker. I have two “roaster pots” my MIL gave me that are long and deep that fit in the smoker great and not too heavy. Now if I’m cooking over open fire then yes its in cast iron

Folks if you don’t have one get an outdoor fire pit or build one. It is a great way to get your kids outside but keep them at home. Plus on a cool night bundled up by a fire and leaving the phones inside is a great stress reliever. And great tasting food never hurt anything

Hey RB.. No vinegar?
Here's my recipe for a party pot. 5 gallons very similar
Start off by slow smoking a whole roaster and a 10 to 12 lb butt.
Boil one roaster
remove the chicken and bone, hold the broth
throw a stick of butter in the cooking pot with 5 or 6 vidalia onions and few cloves of crushed garlic
stir in about a tbls of flour to just darken the roue then pour in the chicken broth
I use about two quarts of tomatoes that I stewed and canned or couple big cans stewed tomatoes
add all the smoked meat (chopped up fine)
a good 2 to 3 cups apple cider vinegar add water to get fill pot about half way
couple bags of frozen nibblet corn
couple bags of baby lima beans
salt, pepper, chili powder, little paprika, small bottle of texas pete or franks, Worcestershire, little ketchup or bbq sauce
Let it all simmer for a while then add
10lbs white potatoes (peeled and diced small)
big bag off fresh carrots chopped up pretty small
bag of fresh celery chopped small and simmer untill the vegies are tender. Let it set about an hour before serving

Oh and a big pan of homade buttermilk (white) not sweet cornbread

Congrats on the new smoker!!!

I've been meaning to ask, what's the best way to reheat brisket?
