    I am grateful to still be working...but...

    I feel like I may be on the other side of this discussion as I have had to be the one to make the cost cutting decisions. We are doing rolling 1 week furloughs where we will cover medical and the associate can apply for unemployment. We are essential and building items for ventilators. If we...

    Birthday Wings

    Work conference call left them on longer than they may have needed. Will watch a little closer next time but can't imagine they are going to get much better!

    Birthday Wings

    I'm the main chef of the family, so if I wanted a special meal on my birthday it was up to me, myself, and I. Out shopping yesterday and found a 10 lb bag of non-frozen wings separated for $1/lb and knew exactly what I wanted. Hit them with a small amount of chipotle dry rub and put them on...

    Smoked Corned Beef Advice Needed

    It's starting to be apparent it was operator error. My 165 brisket was barely edible with how tough it was. I don't mind "fall apart" slices, even for dinner with cabbage or whatever sides you prefer. I will have to try a side by side the next time I fire up corned beef.

    Smoked Corned Beef Advice Needed

    I like the idea of a re-fry in butter. Wasn't able to get as many on sale this year, but I've got one to give this a shot.

    Smoked Corned Beef Advice Needed

    I'm not going to doubt anyone elses methods, but the one time I took a store bought corned beef to 160-170 it has been very tough. May have been a bad hunk of meet, but I still prefer to smoke to 190-195, let it rest, and then slice.

    I took this thread as a place for everyone to discuss their plans for the weekend. If you have hijacked the thread, I'm guilty as well!

    Super Bowl Sunday - What's on your menu?

    I'm in the same boat on a griddle, haven't pulled the trigger on one either. Flat top would be awesome to finish the meat and mix with the veggies and then just cover with cheese. I gave up the booze in January for 2 reasons: 1 - Get myself moving in the right direction on the scale...

    Super Bowl Sunday - What's on your menu?

    Wife doesn't like the smokey flavor (except on PP), so they will be in the oven. I did a similar roast at 131 for 21 hours the last time for french dips and it was amazing. Will likely try the same. May also SV some wings as a side by side comparison with normal vortex. SV for 1 hour at 165...

    Super Bowl Sunday - What's on your menu?

    Damn, $1.19 baby backs and 2.99 TT. My already full freezer would need a brother! I do a similar spread with 1 block Velveeta, 1 lb burger, 1 lb sausage. Cook the meat, mix in the cheese, spread onto cocktail breads, and bake. I like the addition of salsa to this recipe, may need to give it...

    Any new Michigan Members?

    Got me looking at the windy city smokeout. Looks to be at the United Center. Grew up in GR but moved to Chicago so this may be an opportunity to get out and spend a day. Went to a similar festival a few years back in the parking lot of soldier field... Blues, Brews, and BBQ.

    Cauliflower

    I will be watching to see what others come up with. I usually keep the cauliflower as is and add it to smoked meats and other veggies to make a (low carb) meal.
