Do I see Venison on the menu?

Not tonight, but let my wife take another weekend getaway and who knows! Menu tonight is Red Snapper and the first fresh caught shrimp of the 2025 Lowcountry season! Might have a strip steak ready for my wife since, like a taste for venison, sometimes we disagree!

I have a tri-tip on the grill right now. Wife has her renowned “Bear Hunter Potatoes” on tap with fresh broccoli. And, I have a bottle of Pinot Noir ready to open. Nothing fancy, tonight, but it should be good.

And, the finished product, pulled at 130F and rested for 10 minutes.

Nice and now I need to find a Tri-Tip source again.

So I suck at taking result photos when I have company over. At any rate, another brisket in the books and my first attempt at ABT's. Takeaway on this cook that my brisket cooked considerably faster than I'm used to. I was planning to wrap around midnight, but the Signals said it was time at 10:30pm. I was hoping I'd still sort of be on track for a 6:00am pull, but that came at 2:00am, again thanks to the Signals alert. Longest rest of my life (the meat, not me) as I didn't start slicing until around noon. It was still hot, juicy, and delicious. Moral of the story is that briskets are more unpredictable and still forgiving at the same time.

Could you explain the ABTs? Don’t recall if I know what that is.

Atomic Buffalo Turds, I think. Bacon-wrapped Jalapeños with cheese.

I always find that interesting. I have eaten my fair share of Bison/Bufflao but that is not part of the ATB's

 

[Greg Jones]

The only part for ABT that I ‘thought’ I could guess was B is for bacon, so 0 for 3 for me!

I do admit that the next batch may involve some sort of brisket stuffing. These were okay, but didn't make me think this was going to be a staple appetizer.
