Hey, Bull owners! A question for any of you who used the stock legs/wheels/shelf to build your own cart (because you got a comp cart, or built your 700 in, or.....) Does anyone have handy the measurements for the support locations from the underside of the Bull? Looking for center-to-center...
I highly recommend THIS recipe for smoked carnitas. I made it for FD today along with this Tortilla recipe (I substituted beef tallow for lard.) Turned out absolutely fantastic, and may be my go-to for carnitas. I used my Blackstone for the final crisping, but a CI skillet in the RT would work...
So, yesterday was a bachelor day as my wife and daughters were up in Tahoe for a bit of skiing......what's a guy to do??? :) I texted my neighbors to let them know I was firing up the Bull and would have room for them......two of them brought over some ribs, and we were off to the races. I had...
Fired up the grill yesterday to put some smoke on my faux-strami (corned beef, soaked in water 24 hours to de-salt, dusted with black pepper/coriander/garlic powder) and "Canadian bacon" (quotes because this isn't really what Canadians would call it.....). Since I was going to be running the...
I've never made snack sticks, but after a successful batch of Kabanosy (thin, smoked, polish sausage) that was my first experience with sheep casings, I decided I need to give it a go. Here's what I ended up with as a recipe:
500g Pork shoulder (ground through 7mm plate)
500g Beef, lean (ground...
Our Xmas Eve tradition has always been to gather at my in-laws house where they host a bunch of friends for food, drink and caroling around the neighborhood. When I married into the family, my contribution to the party has been six racks of spares that I would cook on my WSM in my in-laws...
Hey, RT'ers!!
I've been thinking of ways to use my RT-700 main chamber as a sausage smoker. I prefer to smoke my sausage at temps that are 160F or lower. From the factory, "LOW" runs the main chamber (I have a smokebox, too), at 180F. I know that I can use the Offset setting, and put an...
I had yesterday off, and spied some chuck short ribs at costco on Monday, so..... :) I got the two, 4-bone slabs trimmed up in the am with a different rub on each (Dizzy Pig Red Eye Express on one, and DP Raising the Steaks on the other), then onto the 700 at 230F. Based on previous...
This may be useful to others, I know I looked for this kind of cook when I was deciding if I should get the smokebox with my 700. So, Friday and Saturday were sausage making days (made up the wurst on Friday, smoked them up on Saturday.) I got a batch of summer sausage made up in large...
Started with a two-pack of pork tenderloins from Costco. Mixed up a brine (4 cups water, 1/2 cup salt, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 onion chopped, 4 Tbsp minced garlic, oregano, thyme, halved/squeezed orange and lemon) and let it go in the fridge for about 5 hours (note to self, 4 hours is enough.)...
I know, I know, was supposed to do something fatty, but, well, bacon has fat! :) I got a whole belly from Costco, split it into thirds, cured with salt/sugar/Instacure #1 for 8 days, then rinsed thoroughly before an overnight drying session (uncovered) in the fridge. Fire up the Bull on Lo...
My RT-700 showed up yesterday (after sunset of course), and once I had dinner, I set to the task of assembly. None of the assembly was difficult, but it did take quite a bit of time to get it all done. I had a couple of fitment issues that I've contacted RT support about, so I'm sure we'll get...
In an effort to distract myself from looking up my shipment tracker (again), I decided the best thing I could do was some prep for when my RT-700 touches down here in California. So, bacon happened.....well, at least it got started. I've done many batches of bacon, tried a lot of different...
I just placed an order for an RT-700 yesterday, so thought it would be a decent time to drop in an introduce myself. I'm a lifetime charcoal griller, all Weber the past 17 years, with some ceramic and stick burners mixed in along the way. I've been interested in a pellet grill for a while now...
