    First time doing smoked baked potatoes

    Did the wifes in EVOO and SPG
    Mine are in bacon grease and SPG :cool:

    Taste pretty good. Was hoping for a little more bacon flavor, and a touch more smoke. I would tweak it a little bit next time, but overall happy with the first shot.

    Looks delicious :) I’m not hip enough to know what EVOO is, though… something vegetable oil something? Bacon grease - I think I understand that one ok. Haha. I strained and saved some bacon grease a few weeks ago for the same purpose, only to have somebody dump the next batch of un-strained bacon grease on top of it. Doh!

    Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

    I buy bacon grease from Ace. Use it for some extra flavor.

    Why the hell does ACE Hardware sell bacon grease?

    If you have to buy bacon grease that means you are not cooking and eating enough bacon. Bacon should be a large enough part of your diet that if anything, you are throwing away bacon grease just because you have too much bacon grease from cooking so much bacon.

    I have a ceramic jar that I pour bacon grease into and store it in the fridge....did you by chance poke those potatoes with a fork before coating with the EVOO and bacon grease? It helps

    Yes.

    Poked, greased, seasoned, then wrapped in foil. Took the foil off towards the end of the cook to crisp up the skin.

    ACE’s grill section is heaven. There’s been one, maybe two times I’ve gone in and haven’t walked away with something from there. It’s the best part about going to ACE.

    I can't remember the last time I went to any store for anything grilling or smoking. I get my pellets from a restaurant supply store, as well as everything I need to make my own rubs and sauces. In fact, since my BBQ sauce is a whiskey and honey sauce, I spend more time at the liquor store cuz I can't find black label Jameson Irish Whiskey anyplace else

    That is lard, not the same as bacon grease.

    Been several years since I have smoked anything, picked up a Yoder YS640. For my first attempt I picked up a Boston butt and some pork ribs. 11 hours later off came the butt, pulled apart by hand very easy.20250725_210841.jpg 20250801_092922.jpg 20250801_100624.jpg 20250801_101908.jpg
