If you like to grill then you may or may not know that some things just taste better when cooked on a barbeque grill smoker combo. I have tried to cook everything under the sun, from corn to chicken, and have found the very best things to cook on my barbeque smoker combo would not be what you would expect.
My absolute favorite thing to cook on my barbeque grill smoker combo is corn. Boiled corn is ok, but charcoal smoked corn is amazing. The key is to not overcook it and make sure that the heat is really low on the barbeque grill smoker combo. I usually like to keep it around 200 degrees or so, maybe a little warmer with a good amount of smoke. The flavor from cooking it this way is like nothing you have ever had before.
While you can use a double door smoker BBQ and grill for this, it is a little overkill and simply cooking it on a barbeque grill smoker combo is a good way to go. The corn comes out very moist with a nice smokey flavor. The best way to prepare the corn is to first soak it for a couple hours then place it directly on the barbeque grill smoker combo. It should take around a half hour or so to fully cook through. When you think it is done, pull of a test ear, shuck it and see what you have.
The next food I love to cook on my smoker is chicken. Chicken can be very difficult to cook properly and you need to be very mindful of your temperatures so that you do not overcook it. Unlike steak and other meats, you cannot serve chicken at all undercooked. The problem lies in the fact that chicken will overcook very quickly and easily, so you have to be careful not do this.
There are many ways to tell if chicken is done, but the best tool to have is a thermometer. If you are planning to be at all serious about your BBQ’ing you need to get a high quality meat thermometer. I have one and use it every day. Some cooks will say it is cheating and not fair; that is simply because they do not have one and are not professional. Anyone worth his salt will have one ready to go so the meat is perfect every time.
There you have it, my two favorite things to cook on the grill. The best thing is that they can both be cooked together and take about the same time. I love to have some nice BBQ chicken and ear of corn prepared right off my barbeque grill smoker combo.
