    Freezer find bootys!!

    I’m always the hardest critic. I mean, it’s ok, but NOT the flavor pop I was hoping.

    Freezer find bootys!!

    Chuck Roast… first attempt

    Well, in MY book, it was a fail. It will be fine in a soup, or a chili, but was just too tough and chewy. I pulled it at 197, and packed it in the cooler for almost 2 hours. Did smoked corn on the cob too. I’m not sure I’ll try this cut again… for me

    FIRST Rib Roast

    First time at trying a prime rib roast…. I went with just a 5lb small roast, lathered it up with “ hey grill hey” garlic butter rub. Going to sneak a 3lb ham in the corner as well. Ambient temp outside in the low to mid 60’s. And those of you that know me, I’m graphing the cook as well. I’m...
