    Freeze/thaw or fridge - Prime Ribeye?

    Yes - I was referring to Restaurant Depot - I'll check the cases when I pick up. And yeah, they are indeed cold :)

    Freeze/thaw or fridge - Prime Ribeye?

    Thanks - I will be heading to RD tomorrow so I can check the dates and see if they are in range of what you suggested.

    Freeze/thaw or fridge - Prime Ribeye?

    So... here's my quandary :) Restaurant Depot near me has a good price on boneless prime ribeye roasts ($11.39/lb for Black Angus); they are cryovac packaged and about 20-22 lbs. I will be smoking one (though I cut into 2 pieces to get 4 ends) on September 24th but picking them up on the 14th...

    Simple bacon dry cure (hopefully)

    Haven't made bacon in a while, so this is what I just started 😀 5.5 lb. Pork belly 6.6 g #1 prague 39 g kosher salt 20 g brown sugar Mixed it up thoroughly and rubbed both sides of the belly. Bagged in Ziploc and in fridge. I'm think 14 day, but open to suggestions 😀!

    Griddle wings

    That looks awesome! How hot did you set your griddle? How long did it take?

    Cheap Brisket

    There's a Restaurant Depot near me where I get stuff, including brisket. Their current price is $4/lb, but they have full packers only, so they are much larger than what you saw. They always have at "choice" at that price point.

    Thoughts?

    This is a cook a did a while back... I did not remove the silverskin - just rubbed them up and on they went for a while :) 225 for 6 hours, them bumped to 275 3 hors, 1 hour in cooler wrapped with butcher paper. Rub was Slap Yo Daddy Beef Rub, but you could use whatever rub you prefer of course.

    1st time Turkey Breast

    If you have time, a wet brine is an option - this is what I did on my last turkey attempt. Of course the amounts can be adjusted based on the size of your turkey and what's needed to cover it etc. Turkey Brine: 1/2-gallon water 1/2-gallon apple juice 1/2 cup kosher salt 1/4 cup brown sugar...

    Cure --> Smoke --> Sous Vide Corned Beef Brisket Flat

    Thanks all! As others have mentioned, the help available on this forum works both ways!

    How I stopped evaporation and insulate during SV cook.

    I just got a Rubbermaid 18 qt and cover...no water evaporated even after running 48 hrs @ 155.

    Cure --> Smoke --> Sous Vide Corned Beef Brisket Flat

    And done....was really tasty. Tender enough without falling apart 🙂

    GrillGrates, worth it?

    I second the purchase of seconds when they have them available - it could be just a slight color variation, or a minor dent. I have 8 grids in total, 4 for each of my Traegers. I probably use them 75% of the time and they work very well for me. In terms of cleanup, I just scrape them every...

    Cure --> Smoke --> Sous Vide Corned Beef Brisket Flat

    Update - briskets hit 150 after about 9 hours, and into SV @ 155 at 5 PM today, so perfect timing for Friday's dinner - hopefully it tastes as good as it looks :)

    The Prodigal Son Returns (actually, he never really left)

    Fred Flintstone would enjoy them (as would I)!!!

    Cure --> Smoke --> Sous Vide Corned Beef Brisket Flat

    Thanks - I do have the smoker set to 180 (read by my Inkbird) - I can adjust temp and shut it down remotely, but of course, can't restart it that way for safety reasons. I'll keep an eye on it for the morning and see where it goes. Worst case scenario is that I do a double-commute today to get...

    Cure --> Smoke --> Sous Vide Corned Beef Brisket Flat

    Thanks -- when you want it to go faster it goes slower and vice versa :) I guess Murphy at work as usual. I appreciate the quick help!
