Yep. Got my first batch of Costco BB ribs last weekend. Couldn't get the membrane off for the life of me. Then I realized, maybe Costco already took care of that. Checked the label and it says, 'minimally processed." No wonder . . . (hand on forehead emoji here).

Gettin' ready to put on some baby backs this afternoon; so my kids will come visit. 🙄 I pulled out all my opened 'flavor enhancers' to use with my new BODS (Big Orange Drum Smoker). First smoke on it was a 9 hr / 5 lb chuckie! Beautiful - and holds the temp so well. Way better than my 5 yr...

I see a lot of questions about problems with heat generation. Certainly the shutdown cycle is important to ensure it's working; to facilitate 'as advertised' operation next time. I've had my smoker for about 4 mos now. I've had some intermittent issues with start up, but once it's going, it's...

That's a hell of a price!  

Cut a onion in half.  On a warm grill, use half at a time and rub liberally.  Then spray with olive oil in a can.  Works great!

Great quote!  I'll remember that one!  

So, last weekend we smoked on Sunday and Monday.   Sunday first! Dutch Oven Fajitas - so tender!   The skirt steak was sprinkled with Famous Dave's steak seasoning, then in the fridge overnight.  Then on for 5-6 min each side at 350.  Didn't need a IT probe!  The veggies were in a cast iron...

Hi Lisa, I'm new here on the forum.  But I posted some beautiful CSR photos in the "Blowing Smoke" forum.  See "What's everyone cooking today?" thread.  It was my first attempt and it was awesome.  My kids were impressed.  If I've correctly identified a trend, would SM917 be our code for Sep...

Looks like a Prime Rib . . . w/o the rib!   I agree, very nice marbling.  Can't wait to see how this one comes out!

Update 31Aug17 of 27Aug17 ops: Wrapped and fridge for 3+ hours. Wrapped up some poppers! Wrapped in SMOKE!  Poppers for 2 hrs @ 225 deg.  Ribs for 4 1/2 hrs.  Same temp obviously. Oh yeah!  That's apple juice in the squirt bottle!  Every hour.  Everything gets it! Now, for some...

Did you take any pics?

Without a doubt, COSTCO has the best value on meat in my area!  I've got a QView I need to post on how last weekend went.  Maybe later today.  It was amazing!

Yep! That's a bit different.

Who knew ! Looks great ! Another item on my 'Want to" list ! Thumbs Up

Should of bought it! It's an awesome dip for jalapeño poppers! The roasted garlic and mango version is also a keeper.
