Question of the week: Thai meat smoking method
My wife recently bought a large ceramic pot, as I had often seen in Isaan, to store water. That was not the intention this time, because it is now used to prepare meat in a special way. My wife calls it “ong” or something like that, a Thai way of BBQing.
It becomes clear when you look at the two pictures I found on the internet. In one picture the pot with the lid and in the other you see the charcoal fire and the strips of meat, which are hung on hooks on the inside. The result is perfectly BBQ-the spare ribs with a special "smoke flavor", very tasty! .
My wife could not tell me whether this way comes from Isaan or is commonly used elsewhere. This time I couldn't get any wiser on the Internet either (yet).
Are there any blog readers who are familiar with this method and can tell us something more about it? The correct name might provide some better information on the Internet.
Isn't this just equivalent to what we call 'smoking'? It is only less common for meat in the Netherlands, with the exception of, for example, smoked ham. But smoking fish, for example, works almost the same way. Only in the Netherlands people usually use a steel drum instead of such a pot. But that doesn't matter for the effect.
As an old fisherman, my father used to regularly smoke eel or mackerel in the garden. With an oil drum, the top lid off, fire in it and often a jute bag was used as a lid. This ensures that part of the smoke remains in it and the barrel therefore remains at the right temperature, but the fire is not completely smothered. It is a bit of a profession in itself, you have to be patient and have a little feel for it.
Wouldn't be allowed nowadays because of the smoke.
Knowledge has been smoking this way for a long time n adding coconut bark for smoky flavour.
Yup in Pattaya!!
I myself smoke in a stainless steel water barrel that is equipped with a door for this purpose and also with charcoal and coconut bark
Tasty smoked bacon, pork neck and fish, now also smoked sausage mmmmm
With temperature gauge to get the best result
Hello Pete
I am a novice smoker do you have some recipes for me?
That bacon, pork neck and smoked sausage sounds like something to me….
Thank you in advance.
หมูอบโอ่ง = Moo – Aob -Aong
If you put the Thai word (not the translation is Isan) in Google, you will see all the goodies with pot.
It is not Isaan food, but all of Thailand knows this method and the name for it is always different.
Isaan is a different language
Pattaya floating market also has such a jar for the gourmets
In the Isaan is usually sun-dried, see Moo Dad Diew for this
Enjoy your meal
There are even real championships http://www.nkpalingroken.nl/over-het-nk/nederlands-kampioenschap-palingroken/
Been done here in Pattaya for some time and also with such a pot and as a smoking agent; coconut bark.
I myself use an ex stainless steel water barrel completely adapted as a smoking barrel with temperature gauge
Including bacon and certainly smoked fish not to be sneezed at!
That process is called อบโอ่ง pronunciation ob òong (mid-tone, low tone) in Thai. 'Ob' is 'to roast' and 'òong' is that large (water) jug. Before that comes the type of meat หมู mǒe: pork or ไก่ kài chicken. When you order it you say aow mǒe: ob òong ná khráp. It occurs everywhere in Thailand, but you don't see it that often.

At every market you see sellers, who indeed smoke spare ribs in these pots.
Tastes fine.
My Indian acquaintances here in Switzerland all have such a pot in their garden. I don't know if people also smoke meat there, but chicken is BBQ-ed. If I'm not mistaken it's called Tandoori chicken. According to them, this is customary in India. But of course you have to have a garden!
My Polish neighbors when I still lived in Malta smoked fish, meat and sausages a few times a week in such a way,
I have also seen that the fire was sometimes not lit in the pot, but outside the pot in a "tunnel" so that no direct radiant heat reached the product to be smoked. The “smoke pot” was covered with a lid but not completely to keep a little “draft”.
Smelling the smoking from my terrace made me quite hungry, and usually the appetite was rewarded.
Spater ribs prepared in this way were also sold at the Market Village in Hua Hin. I liked it.
