Oh, ok. That makes sense then. To me the two most important decisions in BBQ, grilling and smoking is choice of equipment and fuel. There are tons of cheaply made grills out there, and tons of crappy fuels. When I used charcoal, the first thing I learned was to never use lighter fluid (I...
What is it you’re not convinced about? My pellet smoker does everything a gas grill does and more. I have a Recteq RT700. Really great quality, probably best on the market.
If you’re considering getting a new grill, research pellet grills/smokers.
I switched from charcoal about 5 or 6 years ago and love it. Lots of smoke flavor, set it forget it with an accurate thermometer. You can smoke anything , Brisket, Chicken, Turkey, Butts, Wings, etc. Works great.
So far, my favorites on a pellet smoker are wings and butts. Steaks are good, but I cant get a great char on them without direct exposure to the flame. Hopefully, this brisket becomes another favorite.
Yes, it's a whole packer brisket, 15 lbs. I have a catch pan under the racks to catch the drippings. I'm planning to wrap it at the 6 hour mark (learned that from Aaron Franklin). With all the Christmas shopping, I forgot to buy butcher paper, so it'll have to be wrapped in foil. If it doesn't...
I’ve cooked numerous briskets, almost exclusively on off set wood smokers, and I have used a Kamado smoker (which wasn’t my favorite) but tonight I put this brisket on my Recteq pellet smoker. I’m really hoping it comes out better than the Kamado smoker did. It wasn’t terribly dry, but could...
Looks really good @DinkyDau. Reminds me of living in Maine a few years ago. My wife’s cousin shot a moose one year we lived there, then her husband shot one the next year. They gave us more than 30lbs of steaks and burgers. They added 80/20 beef to the burgers because moose is so lean. They were...
When I got a 7 lb standing rib roast at Publix the other day, I had the butcher cut it into 2 inch steaks. He cut the spinalis off and I took it home vacuum sealed it to eat later.
Haha. This was an evening Christmas program and they had one on Saturday that was packed, so I was able to sneak in the back. There was a lady sitting there when I started to sit down. I think she heard my stomach grumbling and was like “Oh, hell naw.” Got up and moved to another row.
So, a little update to my chili from yesterday.
Last night the stomach rumbling started. Didn't think much of it, knew it would happen eventually, just like it always does especially after 2 big bowls. Except this time, it came in waves. I mean every 20 mins or so. Can't remember the last time...
