    Chuck Roast smoking temp

    Hi gang, what temp do you smoke your chuckie at? I got a late start this morning so I was going to go at 250-260. Think I'll be ok, wrap in butcher paper at 170, then go till probe tender, sound like it will work?

    Corned Beef Brisket Question

    Got a decent deal on a corned beef brisket $2.88 lb. problem is wife doesn't like corned beef. I saw that you can soak it for an hour change out the water, repeat 3 more times and then soak overnight. Question is will the brisket now taste just like a regular brisket after smoking. Regular...

    What temp do you take your chuckie to?

    Probe tender it is then. It's at 203 now and not quite there. I'll wrap in towel when done and let it rest for an hour. Thanks guys! BTW chopsaw that handle you made me for my '80's Kamado is holding up just fine, still looks new, thanks again!

    Can't decide tri tip method

    I paid $4.98 lb. for this nicely marbled 3lb tri tip. Brisket was 6.49 lb which is ridiculous. I remember paying like $1.98 a pound for brisket a couple years ago.

    Can't decide tri tip method

    Forgot about my sous vide machine. Could do it that way to 130 and sear over lump on my grill or cast iron pan as chopsaw mentioned. Decisions, decisions lol.

    Can't decide tri tip method

    I'm leaning to try the brisket method at the moment. 205 is what I do brisket to and it's not overdone, pull apart tender.

    Can't decide tri tip method

    I was going to smoke a tri tip to 135 and sear on the grill, then I saw some guys doing a tri tip like a brisket, wrap in foil at 165 with some beef broth and take to 205 or so. Anyone try the brisket method or should I just smoke it the conventional way?

    Pulled pork drying out

    It just takes some practice and experimenting sometimes. I don't trim the fat cap. I like to inject with cherry Dr. Pepper and take it to 203 degrees wrap in foil and towel and put it in a cooler for a couple hours where it will continue to cook and bring the temp up a couple degrees . Never...

    Beef Rub Tip

    Wife will also use this when cooking a chuck roast on the stove in her cast iron pot. Just coat both sides before cooking, always comes out great.

    Beef Rub Tip

    If anyone use a binder like mustard before the apply their rub, try using better than bouillon instead. Wrap tight and put it in the fridge overnight or even better, this is what I do, vac seal your beef. Seems to penetrate better, it's pretty awesome give it a try and you'll be a believer.
