Smoked Popcorn – Study to Smoke Meat with Jeff Phillips

I’m at all times smoking up new issues that will appear unusual at first however usually it finally ends up being actually good! One of many issues I’ve achieved however by no means wrote about is smoked popcorn and, when you should know, popcorn is considered one of my favourite snacks (I’ve many favorites although).

It’s straightforward to do and whereas I usually cook dinner popcorn the quaint manner in a giant pot with quite a lot of shaking, I’ve made it straightforward on this recipe with a microwave popcorn popper utilizing kernels and coconut oil.

Did I point out that that is an incredible snack for the large sport?😀

Let’s do that!

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook dinner Time: 1 hour
• Smoker Temp: 180°F
• Advisable Wooden: Hickory

You are able to do the popping in a pot, use a microwave popper and even use microwave popcorn packs.. it’ll work simply fantastic.

Professional tip: when you make popcorn utilizing precise kernels from a bag, add coconut oil as a substitute of some other type of oil. It tastes nice and it helps the popcorn to prove extra crispy.

Should you use a microwave popper like I do (it’s higher than the microwave popcorn packs however simpler than utilizing a giant pot), use 1/3 cup popcorn kernels and about 1 TBS of coconut oil.

Let the popcorn proceed popping till there’s greater than 3 seconds between pops. It’s okay if all the kernels don’t pop.

Take away the popper from the microwave and take away the lid as quickly as potential to let the steam escape.

Pour the popcorn right into a baking sheet or two. You need the smoke to have the ability to get to it rather well so that you don’ need an actual thick layer.

You may also use a foil pan when you want.

When you’ve got your individual rub it’ll work simply fantastic.. I take advantage of Jeff’s unique rub on the smoked popcorn that I make and everybody goes loopy over it. It’s low in salt and large on taste.

Be sure that so as to add lots and get a little bit on each single piece.

If it’s not sticking properly, you possibly can spray the popcorn with oil to assist the rub to stay higher.

Arrange your smoker for cooking at a really low temperature with gentle smoke. I used a pellet smoker for this and set it the particular smoke setting. This setting will normally keep about 180°F (82°C) which is ideal.

In case your smoker makes use of a water pan, I like to recommend leaving it dry for this to ensure the popcorn stays good and crisp.

As soon as your smoker is able to go, place the pan of popcorn into the smoker and shut the lid.

Let it smoke for about an hour, stirring with a spoon or spatula about each 20 minutes to be sure to get good smoke protection.

➡ Should you want extra smoke in your smoker, see my article on utilizing a pellet tube.

I normally go for about an hour however it will fluctuate relying on how a lot smoke taste you need.

Each time you exit to stir, style a bit of two and if it begins to get too smokey, you possibly can name it achieved. In any other case, you possibly can let it go longer when you want.

Serve the smoked popcorn to your loved ones and company and luxuriate in watching them go loopy over it.

I like to recommend making lots as a result of they’ll be coming again for seconds and thirds!
