    Porkstramied Pork Chops ~ A Work in Progress

    After a recent Porkstrami posting by @DRKsmoking using pork loins :emoji_thumbsup: ... I decided to turn my sights on some pork chops. When corning beef or pork roasts, I try to go all out on the "corned" flavor and don't just cure the meat with salt, sugar and Cure #1. My standard corning /...

    I Broke My Brisket Rule ~ But Hot Hold Saved Me

    I was asked to smoke a brisket for a graduation party last Saturday, and I told my friend I wanted to help him pick one out. I planned on a 20+ day wet age, smoking in my drum, then hot holding for 12 hours. Then I get a call "Hey man... I got a brisket today, and the price was reduced $26...

    Boneless & Stuffed Chicken Wings

    I recently made some whole stuffed chicken wings 3 ways. First were a couple with breakfast sausage, then 4 with Asian chicken filling, and 4 more that were like a jalapeno popper filling. Cooking time was close to an hour total with a 350° pit temp, and I only monitor the temp of the...

    Tri-Tip Pastrami Using Pop's Brine

    For my most recent pastrami, I used a 1-gallon corning brine based on Pop's Brine, but added a bunch of corning aromatics and substituted 16 ounces of beer. I did inject 10% of the meat weight. The beef corned for 12 or 14 days, seasoned, rested 24 hours, then smoked followed by a pressure...

    BLT - "Bacon Long Time"

    For some reason, in the high lonesome, pork bellies have been hard to come by for about 3-years or so. But on occasion, all the stars are aligned. Last month I got a nice one from Costco in Colorado from a friend. I did a 15 day dry cure, smoking 2/3s and making 1/3 into 'streak-o-lean'...

    Let's Take a Ride on the Wayback Machine to 1959 ~ Beef Steaks

    When I was a little boy in the '60s, steaks were very different. The two of these examples I remember the most were full sized bone-in round steaks... and T-bones that always had the 'tail'.

    Butterflied Drumsticks ~ Alternative to Wings

    I've been getting in to lollipop drumsticks for a couple of years, but decided to revisit butterflying them. This is a decent lower price option to grilling wings, the prep is easy compared to lollipops, and dark meat likes higher internal temps. You follow the bone for the first cut, then cut...

    TNF 9/14 - Vikings vs Eagles

    Well, the spread is falling. Vikings started at -7, then went to -6.5, and now it's -6. Draft Kings has a promo called "Up to 7" meaning that if you place a money line bet, and your team leads by 7 points at any time in the game, it's an instant payday. I like the Vikings, but hate those...

    Freezing Sous Vide Hamburgers?

    I've been playing with sous vide hamburgers, using ring molds, and silicone weights in the bags. At 135° for 90 minutes, These are excellent, flavorful and so moist it's like eating a medium rare steak sandwich. Now I want to freeze some so I can simply thaw and sear. My plan is to sous vide...

    Rainy Day Smoked Steelhead

    We've had 4 days of springtime rain showers and I bought a side of steelhead from Sam's to sous vide, but I reserved a generous tail section to cure and smoke. Here is the 'rainy day' set-up with my Big-Chief fish box smoker. I ran some of my remaining A-Maze-N 'Pitmaster Blend' pellets. This...

    Early Season Refrigerator Pickles

    Walmart had 2# bags of pickling cucumbers, so I broke out one package of Mrs Wages 'Refrigerator' Kosher Dill mix and made a few jars. These will be ready to sample in a week, but the flavor is greatly improved at 14 days. Going forward, they have a refrigerator life of 6 months. But I'll...

    If My Beer Fridge Dies Tonight...

    ... I'm in trouble. The beef back ribs I cooked the other day were part of the Costco bounty we scored last week. But they had Prime brisket for $2.99, so that's on the pit this weekend. All trimmed up. Now I need a battle plan.

    It Must Be Beef Back Rib Time....

    It looks like @Nefarious and I were on the same page, just one day apart. I stopped into a Costco last week for pork bellies, and they had some good looking beef back ribs. I used some Minor's AuJus prep for a binder, and seasoned with salt, pepper, Moola Beef, and Oakridge Santa Maria. I...

    Spare Ribs & Hobo Potatoes

    The day before our big snow storm hit I decided to barbecue some ribs, and for a side I made some hobo potatoes, (aka Boy Scout potatoes, or campfire potatoes) which are a mix of potatoes, onions, garlic, butter and about anything else, and cooked in a foil pouch. Starting off on the kettle at...

    Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

    On Monday, 26.7 inches of snow fell upon us, which is the largest snowfall on any single day in my town since records began. All-in-all, the two-day blizzard dropped 37.4 inches of snow in town, and roughly 48 inches on the mountain, which is 3,000' higher in elevation. And drifting often...
