I was always so intimidated by smoking over grilling but once I started smoking meat the hardest part for me was not drinking a 6 pack and falling asleep on the couch while I wait for my ribs to cook. Now I got into cooking more advanced things on the grill it is MUCH more difficult for me.
I find smoking harder because I am terrible at time management, I usually babysit grilled food so it’s impossible to fuck up.
I totally get that. I really only smoke stuff when I know I dont have much going on during the day or I’m able to do it during work. But a bluetooth wireless thermometer is incredible. You can even set it to notify you on your phone when it gets to a certain temp. I like to set a timer every time I go to the smoker in case I have to spray/wrap/flip depending on what I’m making.
