    whole brisket - smoked then sous vide

    thanks al, i see many posts with the SV for 12-24 hours after a short 3-6 hour smoke. just curious to see how much SV time i saved by the 12-hour initial smoke. i guess i'll have to just see. planning on pulling out of SV around 3pm est. only fear is that it won't be pull apart tender.

    whole brisket - smoked then sous vide

    morning to y'all! any of you have any experience with smoking a whole packer brisket and then finishing with sous vide? i saw an episode of sous vide everything and the plan was to smoke for 3 hours and then finish in the sous vide. Alas, my execution didn't go as planned. got busy and then...

    Seasoned pork ribs

    im with crazymoon. i would say that you're pretty safe for several days in the frig especially if wrapped tightly. i wouldn't go longer than 48 hours IMHO. that's more than enough time for the rub to do its work.

    Looking into the Camp Chef Woodwind WiFi 24...anybody with experience???

    i too have a Camp Chef Woodwind but i elected to not get the wifi version. MY camp chef ww has brought up my smoking game significantly. it certainly gets hot enough for burgers and steaks but i also purchased a GrillGun. It has become my finishing tool for many applications. It takes the sear...

    Weird Pork Ribs

    all good ideas here. i would also piggyback on trimming your st louis style ribs so that you get portions that have a similar thickness. i always trim the rib tips (section with white softer bone/cartilage. every rack can be different. there is some trial an error and even for those expert pit...

    Seasoned pork ribs

    lots of factors here. how long before you seasoned them? were they fresh or frozen when you bought them? i rarely keep seasoned ribs in frig for longer than 48 hours. if you plan on keeping them longer before cooking, then you should consider vacuum sealing them and/or freezing them.

    Camp Chef ZG temp problems 1st cook

    oh btw, did you use the high smoke setting or did you just set a temp? from what i understand, the high and low smoke settings will vary the temp to create the optimal amount of smoke. i noticed the temps going up and down. i confirmed it with some research online about the settings. my last...

    Camp Chef ZG temp problems 1st cook

    looks about the same as mine does now. you certainly may have had some shipping bumps although mine was packed pretty well. unless youre OCD, these probably won't affect taste. try the clearing of the ashes before you start up next time and see if it makes a difference. if not, i'm sure camp...

    Camp Chef ZG temp problems 1st cook

    just purchased a camp chef over the last days as well. i've had one similar experience but it took place maybe15 mins into my 2nd use. im not 100% but it seems that the auger may be getting ahead....too many pellets in burn chamber so I basically did a restart. Turned it off. Pulled the Ash...

    First Cold Smoked Bacon

    i block of ice, not cubes, over a tray to catch dripping water helps keep the temps down too.

    MES 30 parts? don't do this

    hey all! i tried out my new grill gun/flamethrower to sear some steaks last night. it works great. perhaps a little too great. i placed my rimmed baking sheet with sous vided steaks on top of my MES for the final sear. thinking it may be too hot for the electrical components, i lifted the...
