    wanting to get into lamb....sauce questions

    The Texas de Brazil chimichurri is my favorite for the lamb when I am there. I get a whole lamb every year from the local fair and try lots of different prep methods. For sauce the best one I have done so far is to put some olive oil and greek seasoning on some chops, sous vide them for ~4...

    SV question

    I've only sous vide then smoked and they came out great. I want to try smoke then dunk; just ran out of time this year and I don't see me breaking out my smoker any time soon now that the outside temperature hasn't been above 20F for a week straight. I did 3 whole packers with my Anova in two...

    Smoked Turkey Two Ways For Scouting Cook Off

    Yes, it was a great weekend and one to remember. Gary, the Dutch Oven Pull Apart Garlic Cubes were a recipe on the fly with the fresh bread dough the scouts received in the morning. After trying multiple ways to get it to rise, they ended up leaving the dough in dutch ovens right next to the...

    Smoked Turkey Two Ways For Scouting Cook Off

    Smoked 4 whole turkeys at a Boy Scout turkey day meal competition campout; Que View and run down of the event: We were camping out so the turkeys needed to be cooked with fire or charcoal (frying would have been way too easy). We got to the campsite Friday night along with the other 6 troops...

    Butterfly a Big Bird?

    Sure did. We trashed all the skin, didn't even attempt to serve it. We served all of the meat pot luck after the competition so skin presentation wasn't a big deal.

    Butterfly a Big Bird?

    I'll throw another idea out there I tried two weekends ago. Long story short, I ended up overseeing our Boy Scout troop smoking 4 whole turkeys at a district wide turkey day meal competition. We received the turkeys at 8 am with turn in at 6pm and a few of them were still partially frozen! We...

    Sous Vide Brisket recipe?

    This has worked for me: 1.Salt it the night before (you can add rub, liquid smoke, ~1/8 teaspoon of Prague Powder #1 if you want a fake smoke ring) 2. Vacuum seal (or water immersion seal in good Ziploc bags) and refrigerate. I use two 2 gallon Ziploc bought on AMZ, one for the meat and then I...

    First Big Cook - 75#s Pulled Pork - 40#s Brisket - 30#s Chix 1/4s

    And here is the same brisket cut: I didn't take too many good pics, but you get the point.

    First Big Cook - 75#s Pulled Pork - 40#s Brisket - 30#s Chix 1/4s

    Ok, figured out the pictures. This was the brisket after about 2 hrs on the smoke (I chilled it down the day before after 48 hrs in the sous vide):

    First Big Cook - 75#s Pulled Pork - 40#s Brisket - 30#s Chix 1/4s

    You practice like you play, what can I say? I'm having issues uploading pictures or I would post the brisket from last week, it was hands down the best I've done (the neighbors I invited over thought so too).

    First Big Cook - 75#s Pulled Pork - 40#s Brisket - 30#s Chix 1/4s

    I am cooking for a concession stand at a two day event that my daughter's team is hosting this weekend. Its a charity gig, so no pressure and they are selling a bunch of other items that I don't have to prepare (walking tacos, pepperoni rolls, hot dogs, etc). I worked up a $325 budget that...

    Pulled Pork

    I just got my Anova for Christmas, have only done one bone in pork butt so far with it but it came out pretty good. However, I had it in the sous vide first and didn't smoke it. The weather wasn't cooperating for a smoker that day so I ended up cooling it down in an ice bath and using the...

    welder

    A little late in responding to this, but I just want to note that I did buy a $90 flux core welder specifically to build my reverse flow (with no prior welding experience) and it worked just fine for the job. I'm not exactly disagreeing with ahumadora or kam59 that better equipment is the way...

    250 Gallon Smoker build

    I cut my firebox hole and built the supports for the tank first, that helped a lot when it came time to cut the front doors. I had a 200 gallon oil tank though, a lot thinner steel and oval shape. When I cut the top door (from the rounded portion of the oval, it took me two days to get the...
