I want to smoke one this weekend. Any help will be appreciated. I am using a backyard offset smoker. Who has tried this and what about rubs,cook times,internal temp , etc? Thanks very much in advance.

Hmmm.. I have no clue, but a quick Google of beef tongue shows alot of stuff. Mostly boiled, so maybe review Bubba's rib threads first? :lol:

I've only had beef tongue pressure cooked and pickled. Mom used to make it that way along with the heart.

One of my favorite things to eat, ever.

Can't help on the smoking of it, though. I'd be interested to see what you come up with.

Never tried smoking one before but I would guess that a boil would be in order till you could peel it, and then low and slow. It's a tough muscle so I'm thinkin treat it like a brisket after it's peeled.let us know what you decide and take pictures:thumb:

Something that tastes you back, hum. I've never had beef tongue before, must feel strange when exiting your body :whistle:

:lol: Geeze! (shakin my head):lol: Only on Smoked-Meat:faint:

pretty sure someone has a post on here about smoking tongue. Or maybe it was over on smurf. I remember it looked pretty good. I saved the tongue from the last cow I got just to try to duplicate it, but the fiancee shot that idea down. It's still sittin' in the freezer, probably a total loss by now.

I eat a fair bit of toungue. I believe it's cured and pressed then boiled.
Has a flavour and texture entirely it's own. I eat it sliced asa sandwich meat.
Tougue and chutney - one of the all time classic sandwiches :-)

Seriously underrated cut of meat.

It's pretty lean so I'd probably go about smoking it like a tough cut of venison. Wrapped in bacon and treated almost like a brisket. Take it to 190-200. The bacon wrap should keep it from drying out.

Maybe an overnight brine first as well.

Interested to see what you finally come up with and how it looks :thumb:

Finally some one said something I wanted to say.

:bounce::banana_smiley:

Northern Green Horn "That's like going to a ford forum and saying you drive a Chevy car" LOL!

I do drive a Chevy, but it's a truck

Please let us know how it goes. I've been eye'n them in Sam's club for a while. Had it a couple of times, was real good. Pretty sure it was either roasted or braised. Was the lunch special at a very high end resort in West Palm Beach.

mom used to pressure cook it, peel it, and then finish braising it in a red chili. great with rice and fresh flour tortillas

Just think, upon exit, you won't need to use "bathroom tissue"... how Charmin! :whistle: :thumb:

i remember reading that "rowdy ray" did one over on "SMF" i dont know if that post survived all the junk and crashes way back when :whistle:
but i might be worth a look

I had some smoked tongue before. Didn't like it so I moved on.... And that was hard to do because she was hot! :whistle:

Seriously... I never got into eating animal tongues, nuts, lips and asses etc. Not even in hotdogs. There are just so many other great parts of the animal to smoke and eat. But I will never judge those who do and say more power to you. You can have my share! :thumb:

wingman - when did charlie daniels turn into santa ? :noidea:

Do love that song though :-)

Hmm, just read bbqg thread. tongue is a muscle and one that is well used - can't believe for one second it's 75% fat. Truly there is some crap on the internet.

Thanks for all the input y'all. Looks like I won't be doing one this time. Got so many folks coming to eat I won't have room on the smoker and none of the guests will even agree to try it. Nuther thing is tongue is expensive here. The smallest one I saw was $11.00! I decided to spend that money on more ribs.I will do one some day but not this time.

Appreciate you bringing this up. I now have a new thing on my list. I love pickled tounge but have only ever boiled it. I'm thinking smoked pickled tounge with some hot peppers:thumb:
