Smoking Meat Forums - The Best Barbecue Discussion Forum On Earth!

Made the round trip in and out of Chi-town yesterday, put the wife on a plane to Idaho for 2 weeks. I ain't seen that much traffic since I left the Bay Area. Being home all alone, except for the horses, cats, dogs, parrots and 3 tanks of Koi, I've decided to catch-up on my smoking tomorrow and I'll start with a 9# Butt, 4# pork loin, couple of beer-can chickens, 2 chunks of beef and 7 blocks of assorted chesses. Even warned the fire chief that I'd be using both smokers and the smoke was...

Another Tender Eye Round (SV) At $3 a pound I couldn’t resist, so we got two of them. Other than making Dried Beef & Smoked Lunch Meat, this is the only thing I’ll do with Beef Eye Round, since I got my Sous Vide Supreme. It’s hard to believe how tender & tasty it gets by doing it this way. So all I did was trim the Fat off of the outside, season it, & Vacuum seal it. Then into the SV @ 134° for 21 hours. Then I seared it in a Frying Pan until it looks pretty. Then after having a fine meal...

I make these all the time but some folks need to be reminded about these babies. Here are the simple ingredients. I chopped the jalapenos and mixed up everything but the cream cheese. I made small balls from the cream cheese and formed the other mix into balls with a small indentation for the cream cheese. Rolled the meatball in some rub. Out of the smoker after 2.5 hours at 225* with cherry chips. Money shot of a delicious and easy snack. Thanks for looking ! CM

I just got a phone call from @pops6927 that he has had another stroke and this time it was in his brain steam. I know he has been thru alot already so please pray for him that he is able to recover from this one without much setback in his life. I know Pops will appreciate it.

... Before we list the house and move! On the pellet grill dark and early: Went to kill some time... About halfway there... (Pup gets the corner cutoff - she kept an eye on the grill while I was gone)

I have been waiting for a chance to try smoking this cut for awhile now. At $3.09 / lb. with almost no waste it seemed a no brainer. Far less waste than a brisket. The one I got weighted about 18 lbs. I injected it with double strength Minor's beef au jus and rubbed it with a mix of salt, pepper, cocoa and coffee. The rub as a result of my local Kroger having a premade espresso salt on clearance for $1 that contained the salt , cocoa and espresso. I cut it in half to cut cook time down...

We'll be firing up the smokers, grills and the wood pile for another great weekend in the Carolinas. The last 7 have been really spectacular. So save that weekend for some good BBQ, good beer and good times. Check out the past 7 gatherings here. 1st Annual NC Gathering 2nd Annual NC Gathering 3rd Annual NC Gathering 4th Annual NC Gathering 5th...

While going through the daily forum post with a cup of coffee in hand, I came across a post from GMC showcasing his talents. He mentioned how he enjoyed getting back outside to cook again. The sudden, two day joke of spring weather was all I needed to fire up the baby smoker. (Thanks, Chris) After the morning reads and kickstart, I had only one thing on my mind, RIBS. So off to the local meat locker. Upon arriving, my favorite butcher informed me the only ribs they had in stock where...
