    Pay to shop preferences, BJ's or Costco

    I had Sams and Costco. Costco seems to have a better selection and quality of meat. Costco didn’t have some of the things we use that Sams did. Our costco expired, and we aren’t renewing it. We have BJ’s near us, but I’ve never been in there. If meat is your driving force, Costco wins.

    Thanksgiving Bird

    You mention a brine. Check whatever bird you get to make sure it wasn’t brined already.

    When is the Best Time for Chat Gatherings

    Looking at the chat room, I don’t see any topics or chatting going on. Maybe that function never took off.

    Enchiladas and charro beans keto style

    Looks great. You lost me on the beans though, I’m allergic to chicken. Have you ever made the beans with beef or vegetable broth and regular chorizo?

    Gravity fed lacks smoke flavour

    Are the chunks actively burning under the coal? I mainly use a WSM, the chunks actively burn, producing great flavor. Maybe if they are smoldering only, you just aren’t getting enough smoke.

    Best way to re-heat pork belly burnt ends

    Bag as in zip lock? Or vacuum packed? Either way, throw the bag into a pot of simmering (not boiling) water until they are back to the temp you want. That’s what i do for frozen leftovers, pulled pork and brisket. Tastes just like it did the day it was cooked.

    Smoker turned off while smoking a brisket

    For those of you reading this getting ready to try your first brisket, do yourself a favor and buy a remote thermometer where you can monitor the smoker temp. One with a low alarm would be good as well. They aren’t expensive, most likely less than the brisket itself these days. That way when...

    Pork Belly Question - Misleading Internal Temp's (165f to 205f!?)

    The last time i did bellies and pulled them at 165, they immediately went back on the smoker for more time. In my opinion, you won’t render enough fat for them to be good.

    What % lean do you request for your hamburger?

    I got a 1/4 back in February. My buddy has a shop, we did everything start to finish. The steer we got was 1280 lbs. It wasn’t lean, but wasn’t overly fat. Our burger ended up around 90/10 only trimming lightly. The butcher can certainly add fat if it’s available, but if your steer is lean...

    Where are the Signatures?

    Not sure what that issue is. Mine show up in vertical at the bottom right, and disappear with no activity. As soon as you scroll, they show back up.
