    First Full Packer Brisket on MBGS 1050 - Spoiler: I need more practice

    I smoked my first full packer brisket this weekend for my brother’s housewarming/birthday gathering. I got a 17.5 whole brisket from Wild Fork. I was very concerned with the cooking time as we were going to eat at 3 PM. In a moment of panic, I decided to split the flat from the point to decrease...

    Brief Hiatus

    The Pernil came out grate. I did two 25lb legs and only used one for dinner. So I had tons of left overs to share with my neighbor and friends. I followed the Ingrid Hoffmann recepie. Very traditional Cuban flavor. I think you can definitely fit a quartered pig between the three racks and...

    First Pizza on MBG 1050 (without a stone)

    I made my first homemade pizza on the grill tonight. I ordered a pizza stone that didn't arrive on time, so I decided to go stoneless. NGL, the result was pretty good. I'm not sure how the stone would make a difference - other than when you apply toppings to the pizza. My process was simple...

    First Impressions: Day 1 with MBG 1050 - (long post warning -- too excited to be brief)

    I have a 1050. Send the information, but I wonder if they will fit as well.

    rubber/silicone food/grill gloves

    I use these. Have had them for many years. You will feel heat if you hold on to a very hot surface for too long. My biggest issue is cleaning and drying the inside. I usually throw them into the dishwasher and have to fold them inside out for 3-4 days to dry the inside.

    Braised Chuck Roast, Beef Marsala Gravy, & Homemade Egg Noodles (Pic Heavy)

    Looks awesome. I can't wait to try this - minus the hand made egg noodles. I have never made pasta and do not think I have the patience to do so.

    First Picanha on MBG 1050 w GrillGrates

    I picked up a 3 LB Prime Picanha from Wild Ford ($12.99/lb) last week. After defrosting, I dry-brined with coarse kosher salt for a little over one hour. Brought to room temp, scored the fat cap (did not trim), olive oil binder, coated both sides with a liberal coating of a special Argentinian...

    Chain Bbq restaurants.

    I'm not a fan of Famous Daves. I agree it was okay when they first opened and went downhill fast. Nothing special. Everything is dry. Prices are high.

    Chain Bbq restaurants.

    I catered a "guys night out to see hockey in South Florida" lunch/dinner with Mission BBQ. Not bad for a high-volume chain. The catering menu and setup was perfect, we had everything we needed (plates, knives, napkins) and plenty of food. The price was not bad either $20/person out the door.

    Pulled Pork / Brisket same smoke

    Amazing color on the pork. Especially since you cooked in an a MES. The Lil Smokey mod added that flame element that you need for a great bark. What was in the rub? did you use the same rub for the brisket? F in the chat for not taking any final brisket pics.
