    I think I wrecked my taste buds.

    I have had an absolutely great summer and fall for smoking meat. The weather has been really good. I did at least 6 briskets, a few batches of short ribs, pulled pork, St louis ribs, pretty beef heavy. I realized I didn't do ANY steaks, ribeyes are the favorite in the house. Realizing this, I...

    Mill Scale inside of smoker

    That looks like cold rolled steel so your not really seeing millscale. Hot rolled sheet looks black and it has a millscale on it, that almost looks white, like its been blasted. Does anything flake flake off? You could probably use a wire wheel on a grinder to buff the metal clean. Using a...

    My 1st brisket

    Not sure about sous vide but I just remove the butcher wrapped brisket, over wrap with a couple layers of foil and back in the smoker at 170. I did one this past weekend that sat for 5 hrs, came out amazing. I have heard of 12 plus hr holds at 170 also. I use the smoker because I can monitor the...

    Have to try it

    I used to have a recipe for Wendy's chilli, it was from one of those websites that claim to have all the recipes from thenbig chains. Most were not even close, but the Wendy's chili recipe seemed spot on. I will have to see if I can dig it up, its been a long time since I saw it. Corey

    Brisket burgers with the new grinder.

    I just ground up 3 lbs of trimmings this weekend. I have never had brisket burgers either, those look amazing. Do they taste like brisket? Im really looking forward to sparking them up, (maybe this week) I found the brisket meat really dense, had to cut it into thinner strips than pork butt...

    Favorite soy sauce

    Im partial to the "wings" brand you get with basically all chinese food from restaurants, at least in my neck of the woods. I've tried all the " fancy" soy sauces but still like the wings best. I found it in 1000 packet cases so I have enough for 5 years. Ill probably sprout a 3rd eye at...

    What's the deal with flies ?

    I have what seems like hundreds (exaggerated) always sitting on my smoker when its covered. Not even using it, they just perch there. Corey

    Anti-inflammatory Effects of Extra Virgin Olive Oil - WOW!

    Anti-inflammatory Effects of Extra Virgin Olive Oil - WOW!

    Well, its been almost an hr and a half since i took some olive oil and I gotta say, im feeling pretty good. I have done a few sets of stairs in that time that i usually have to bear pretty heavy on the railing to keep the pain at bay, this time I was able to do them without touching the...

    Anti-inflammatory Effects of Extra Virgin Olive Oil - WOW!

    Well, took a tablespoon full. Just waiting for the grill to heat up. One thing I guess, if it doesn't work for the joint issues at least my GI tract is gonna be nice an slippery 🤣🤣 Corey

    Anti-inflammatory Effects of Extra Virgin Olive Oil - WOW!

    Im also amazed at the speed that it seems to work. My doctor gave me some high test voltaren pills when i get a bursitis flair up, but i also take them when my arthritis flairs. Again, like any anti- inflammation med, its hard on your kidneys and liver. Those pills take the better part of an 1½...

    Anti-inflammatory Effects of Extra Virgin Olive Oil - WOW!

    Just did a quick search and it seems a safe daily amount is 4 to 5 tablespoons so if 1 is doing the trick then you are fine. Im gonna give this a shot, i have arthritis in my knee and the humidity around here is killing me. Hell, im willing to try anything. Corey

    Can I smoke a brisket without trimming?

    I watched a comparison YouTube video about trimming and no trim. It was a side by side and the results were no difference. The fat on the untrimmed brisket just pealed off after cooking, no burning, no real issues. I still trim a bit but have cut down a lot since watching that. I take the big...
