Beef / Smoked beef heart?
« Last post by BuckRimfire on Today at 10:10:26 AM »
Anyone have experience with smoking cow's heart?  I really like the stuff sautéed/braised for breakfast.  I get it from a farm booth at the farmer's market that has it already sectioned into pieces that are on average a bit less than a pound, IIRC.  (I don't have one for reference because I ate all the pieces I had in the freezer!). I'm concerned that they may be a bit small for use in the smoker.

There is a specialty butcher nearby that I haven't visited yet.  Maybe I can get whole or half hearts from them if a bigger piece is likely to be more successful.

I've used my #3 outside when it was close to 0 deg and it got up to smoking temps a little slower than normal, but didn't take that much longer.
BTW- I always start with a cold smoker so the meat can absorb more smoke before it gets over 120 deg.

Hello everybody,

Kevin here from Fort Worth, Texas.

I bought a model 2 five or seven years ago. I have only smoked dear Summer sausage in it twice, and a half rack of baby back ribs once in it. It was fairly cold in Kentucky when I smoked the summer sausage and I had a hard time getting it to the temperature I wanted with the analog control. So both times I ended up finishing the summer sausage off in the oven the last 30 minutes or so. But amazing flavor! I’m looking to do a bypass of the controller and put a switch on it and install the digital Wi-Fi controller from Auber.

God bless you guys!

You are good to go on the element. And to answer your question, first to be honest and admit to leaving the door open and running. And you are not an idiot. Smoke on!

The first to run their smoker all night or the first to be shameless enough to admit it on the forum?

I just turned it on and it took 2-3 minutes to start seeing any red, after 5 to 6 minutes it looked like this.  Not sure if this is "bright."  Anyway, it looks uniformly red.
