When people think of the word "cure" and the thought of a BBQ smoker grill, their thoughts typically turn to brining and otherwise properly preparing meats. You'd be correct if you said you have to correctly cure your meat prior to smoking it. But there is a different type of cure we need to consider, and that has to do with the appliance itself.
Look at what your smoker is made from. It is metal. And that metal has been shaped into precision parts by cutting and shaving. When your smoker was manufactured, small shavings, metallic dust and remains were produced by the process. It happens, and there is absolutely no way to avoid it.
Another thing happened when your grill was being built. The producer determined it would have to be protected from rust and the elements, so they went through the process of coating and painting the unit. That involved the use of heavy-duty chemical substances and toxins.
Now consider what happens when the unit is completed. Commonly it rests inside a warehouse or showroom until you take it home. Dust will settle on the machine. Shipping crates and containers contain dust and other particulates, as well.
When the BBQ smoker grill gets to your house, every one of these elements have settled. They all share something else in common: As condiments go, all of them are pretty terrible. These are not the sort of things you want to consume. You spend a good amount of time and money getting those ribs prepared to cook. The additional elements from the grill won't do one thing to enhance the flavor. You would like to taste the wood flavor, the dry rub, the delicious sauce as well as the tender meat when you cook on your BBQ smoker grill. The menu doesn't include things like bad tasting deposits or unhealthy toxins.
The cure for this is to cure your BBQ smoker grill. Getting rid of the shavings, dust and other particles that are included with every new smoker is crucial.
It's a very easy process. A healthy dose of heat will blast away all of the unsafe components which come packaged with each and every smoker. Cure the smoker by starting it up without any meat involved.
Begin by getting the BBQ smoker grill very hot. You have to keep the inside of the smoker heated up to a temperature of 400 degrees for around thirty minutes. Next start to lower the temperature a bit. Keep it running for another 2 or 3 hours with the temperature set at about 250 degrees.
You'll be burning off all of the unwanted deposits with the heat exposure, thus preventing your first cut of meat from collecting all the flavors you'll undoubtedly find lousy. Curing your BBQ smoker grill doesn't take a good deal of effort. It's not particularly time consuming and it is not really complicated. But don't underestimate its importance.
Don't smoke any meat without first curing your BBQ smoker grill.
