Asked my future SIL what he wanted for his birthday Saturday and he said a brisket. So, figured I'd clean the Bull up today. Haven't seen the light that bright in awhile
Busted out the GMG pizza oven. Got it to come out roundish this time! Homemade dough, sauce, pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, onion, and fresh mozzarella.
Read an interesting article about smoking below 225 degrees in cold weather. The author suggested that in colder weather it takes longer than 4 hours for meats internal temperature to get above 140 degrees, the danger zone upper limit. And this could allow bacteria growth.
I have smoked at 200...
Recteq is having a sale. For the next 48 hours you can save 15% off ALL Accessories, Rubs, Sauces, AND Merchandise. I think I'm going to restock some of my rubs.
Smoked a brisket, pork belly, and a pork butt to stock my daughter's freezer. This should last them for a little while. They buy the meat and I keep 10 percent for the "big guy". Probably should have taken the picture before pulling the pork butt bone.
Wanted to do something a little different tonight. Made a caprese pizza with some homegrown tomatoes and leftover pulled pork. Added some Freakin Greek rub when pulled from the oven. It came out even better than expected.
Do you have any other ideas for serving leftovers?
I was really excited for a new local meat market's grand opening. And then I saw the prices. Prime brisket point or flat, no whole $11.99 lb. Wagyu brisket cut the same way and it is $25 lb. Does this seem high compared to meat markets in your area?
I prefer to support local small businesses...
I just ordered the large interior shelf on Amazon. It has been out of stock on the Recteq website, but was available on Amazon? It shipped out next day, today, with 2 day shipping from Evans, GA. So, this is an option if you are looking for accessories that are "out of stock".
Gotta love the convenience of these smokers. Throwing 2 racks os St. Louis style ribs on the smoker at lunch. Back to work while they cook. Will be ready to pull not long after getting home.
Got 2 new rubs for Fathers day. Just opened them up and put the beef rub on a flank steak. If you have not tried these, you should check them out. Really good flavor.
What is your accessory gril? I have a 15 year old Weber Genesis 310. Use it mostly just for searing now. Replaced all the internals this year with stainless steel. And got the last part, the SS grill grates, during Prime day. Just waiting on delivery. Surprisingly good condition for the age.
Cooking a little bit of everything today. Beef boneless ribs, pork baby back ribs, and a pork butt. Got to say I am pleasantly surprised by the probes. Calibrated them in ice water and they have been reading dead on with my thermapen.
I have been trying different coffee brands to find the best cup for drinking after eating some BBQ. If you have not tried Black Rifle coffee, you should check it out. I really like the Tactisquatch dark roast. It is smooth for a strong cup of black coffee. Black Rifle is also partner brand of...
