    Foil boat brisket

    I've done my last few brisket with the foil boat. I like it. I like paper but I always have a hard time probing for tenderness with the paper. The paper either adds some resistance or I poke through the bottom and lose my juice. Foil boat is open on top so that's never an issue and it keeps your...

    Suggestions for a burger seasoning I can buy on Amazon?

    What's your favorite way to do pork tender loin?

    Is everyone in this thread on the same page? OP is talking about pork TENDERloin, not pork loin correct? Tenderloins are pretty small. Long, but small diameter. I couldn't imagine butterflying a tenderloin and stuffing it with whatever. Anyways for tenderloin, no Inject or brine for me. Just...

    First Beer Can Chicken

    I definitely don't understand people saying beer does nothing for it. I use Miller lite for mine and I did 2 beer butt chicken side by side at the same time. Beer in one and water in the can in the other and I definitely tasted a difference. The only seasoning was some salt and pepper on the...

    Difference between Weber kettle and the performer?

    Charcoal baskets just allow you to set up 2 zones of cooking. The vortex can be used for the same thing. I flip my vortex upside down (big end up) and use it the same way you would a basket. Just off to the side of the kettle.. If you wana save some money and not get baskets. I rarely use my...

    Which charcoal brand do you use?

    Yeah I wondered about handling too but this 30lb bag is MASSIVE. It would take a LOT of mishandling for it to have broken everything in it into smaller pieces like I got. Im pretty sure they came from the factory like this. Oh and there was a rock in the bag too. Forgot about that. Saw a video...

    Which charcoal brand do you use?

    My wife grabbed me a 30lb bag of royal oak lump to try out (had to see why everyone loves it) and I gota say I hate it. Maybe I got a crap bag but im 3/4 through the bag and aside from one giant chunk of what looked exactly like a 2×4 every piece in the bag is a tiny little nugget. I mean so...

    Bear Mountain pellets

    I'm curious how you know what their blend % of what woods they use is. They won't even tell you what pellet mix they use in their gourmet blend is. Any rate i use bear mountain all the time and like them.

    SV Vessels

    This container with this lid is what I've used for several years now. Edit: just realized that lid is for the anova nano, my lid is for a regular full size one.

    leftover brisket

    I took a bag of slices out of the freezer a few weeks ago and stuck it stright into a sous vide. Was just as tasty and tender like I had just cooked it. If thawed i just microwave it and its always amazing. I know there's nothing sexy about the microwave but brisket is so fatty and juicy itd be...

    Over Rated ?...

    With holiday times upon on there's lots of cooking going on. Whether its turkey, hams, prime rib, or some special sea food lobster holiday meal. Im curious what people think are the over rated meals they see people doing all the time. Years ago I would have said turkey. I was always a ham...

    Spots in bacon? Mold?

    My wife opened a pack of thick cut bacon today and there were these black spots on every piece in the same location. Quick search online showed some other people asking about the same spots but couldn't find a definitive answer on what it actually is. Is it mold? Maybe an ink stamp from the...

    Turkey Availability!

    Yeah no shortage around here either but butterballs are about $0.99lb. I got a few of them a couple weeks ago just in case they got hard to find as the holidays neared. then my work handed out free smaller 10lb turkeys to all employees so my wife and I each got one and another employee gave us...
