Smoked Popcorn – Study to Smoke Meat with Jeff Phillips

I’m all the time 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 accomplished however by no means wrote about is smoked popcorn and, should you should know, popcorn is certainly one of my favourite snacks (I’ve many favorites although).

It’s simple to do and whereas I usually prepare dinner popcorn the quaint method in an enormous pot with lots of shaking, I’ve made it simple on this recipe with a microwave popcorn popper utilizing kernels and coconut oil.

Did I point out that that is a fantastic snack for the large sport?😀

Let’s do that!

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook dinner Time: 1 hour
• Smoker Temp: 180°F
• Really helpful 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 nice.

Professional tip: should you make popcorn utilizing precise kernels from a bag, add coconut oil as an alternative of another sort of oil. It tastes nice and it helps the popcorn to end up extra crispy.

If you happen to use a microwave popper like I do (it’s higher than the microwave popcorn packs however simpler than utilizing an enormous 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 the entire 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 very well so that you don’ need an actual thick layer.

You may also use a foil pan should you want.

If in case you have your individual rub it’ll work simply nice.. 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 massive on taste.

Be certain so as to add lots and get just a little on each single piece.

If it’s not sticking effectively, you may 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 often 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 verify 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.

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

I often go for about an hour however this may range relying on how a lot smoke taste you need.

Each time you exit to stir, style a chunk of two and if it begins to get too smokey, you may name it accomplished. In any other case, you may let it go longer should you want.

Serve the smoked popcorn to your loved ones and friends and revel 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!
