    Question: Any rescue for PR?

    My Better Half (blesshersweetheart) decided to give me a break this year and ordered a pre-smoked (cooked) Prime Rib online (from a reputable purveyor; we’ve been very happy with the meats we’ve ordered in the past). I followed the reheat instructions to the letter (no additional seasoning...

    What to look for shopping for chamber sealer?

    For me a small footprint is vital. Our chamber vac lives on our all-too-precious countertop real estate where it gets used daily. Probably wouldn’t use near as much if I had to drag it out. Ours is the MYM oilless, no complaints, replaced our FS simply bc the chamber lives on the counter; FS is...

    Reverse searing equipment

    Second the chimney starter. If you’re willing to forgo the flame, nothing beats screaming cast iron.

    Wireless probe thermometer

    Since my previous post, I've ‘converted’ to RFX & Gateway (there’s plenty posts covering them), never looked back. Meater2+ and its annoying app have been relegated to the Round pile. The ThermoWorks RFX app is not ideal but far better than the Meater.

    Grill Brush

    As I see it, it’s a two-step habit. I use the old wire bristle number for cleaning while the grill is still hot (ok, when I’m not rushed). I’ll give it a quick hit while the grill is heating, but then right before the food goes down I’ll swab the deck with oiled paper towel or onion in bbq tongs.

    Texas Brisket Kit?? Whats your Take?

    Very well said, and I’ve changed my position. Anything we can do to encourage folks to try our obsession should be supported. I’d like to break down what this ‘kit’ provides: 1. Provide a trimmed, ready-to-cook product. 2. Seasoning. 3. Instructions. Are these ‘services’ worth it? Let’s examine...

    Texas Brisket Kit?? Whats your Take?

    Um, $51 for 7 1/2# comes to $6.80/lb for Choice. (??!). Not for me, but then again they’re still selling lighter fluid😂

    Foil or butcher paper?

    I would say it depends on what you’re going for. If you’re looking for classic Texas, butcher paper is traditional. Just spritz the paper well, optionally add a splat of tallow and wrap very tight. I’ve also had great results with foil boats on the drum. Just be cautious what if anything you add...

    Smoker Cover Issue

    Similar sun here in Texas. I’ve resigned myself to treating covers as ‘consumables’; I change out covers every year or two. I usually buy generic covers (such as Char-Broil) from big box when I can catch a deal. I figure it’s cheap insurance for a $$$$ smoker or grill.
