The best way to put the argument to rest is to probe it and show it. A smoke ring doesn't mean meat is done, it just means it's reacted with the smoke. However, you can't argue with temperatures. I take my my chicken wings to at least 180°, and I'm not afraid of 190° either. That's when they...
I figure on 1/2 lbs per person. Especially if this is a celebration. People always eat more when they are happy and celebrating things. You will most likely have leftovers, but that's better than people saying there's not enough.
There's some guys on here that have spreadsheets that you can...
I paid $50/rack for these. Definitely a splurge.
I've never seen plate ribs at our Costco. I've even asked about them and they looked at me like I was a vegetarian.
I just wish the plate rib was as easy to find as it is to smoke.
I seasoned these with a 2:1 ratio of black pepper and kosher salt. I leave the membrane on the bottom to help the meat stay on the bone when everything is done. These get so tender that if you pull it off, I find that the meat...
As I was typing about the Masterbuilt Gravity Series, @BBQ Bird beat me to it. I've never used it myself, but I've talked to other guys who have and they have said nothing but good things about it.
This is why I never care if the McRib stays or leaves.
The real trick is making sure your ribs are taken high enough to get a clean rib pull, which is always higher than I schmoke them to just eat at the table.
Also, I'm usually a dry ribs guy, but for these I sauce after the wrap to get a good...
Ha! What could be more well-rounded than that?
No, they mock me because I go a little crazy playing almost everything I smoke, doing my best to get the light right, angle of the shot, etc.
I didn't remove anything. All I did was bend wire around the grates to make a cradle at the very front of the smoker. You'll want to cut an aluminum pan to fit over it so nothing drips on it.
Yes!...well, until we all were miserable and had to tell the kids to wait a little while before we could start the fireworks. Then the kids weren't so happy.
Thanks Chop!
It's kind of hard for me to make out in your picture, but it looks like the fat layer that separates the flat and point is at the blue line. It starts on top of the flat and moves to underneath the point. If I'm right, that will make the area circled in green your hunk of point...a.k.a. the yum...
I haven't experienced any kind of film from pellet use. I've actually never even heard of that til you mentioned it.
I'd stick with pellets. It makes it a true set it and forget it smoker.
Don't shoot for 190° to pull the brisket, just use that temperature to start probing for doneness. If you insert a metal skewer, it should go through the meat like butter. If you feel any resistance, let it cook another 15-20 minutes and probe again. Do this until you get that hot knife through...
This.
I've used both and prefer the tube. But others really like the maze. Either one will take your MES to the next level.
If it was chewy, it could very well have been undercooked. I have undercooked and overcooked briskets. Undercooked is tough/chewy and overcooked is dry/crumbly.
