That looks amazing Brian!!!
Peri Peri chicken is out of this world when you get get a proper sauce or go to a place that makes it correctly. I found 99% of peri peri sauce recipes online are flat out wrong.
If you ever get down into the Addison area there is a Nando's Peri Peri chicken there...
This looks fantastic and I bet that mesquite flavor on the venison was great! Since to me properly cared for and deer taken from areas where they have good food to eat (and does) taste like super lean beef and mesquite is the best beef smoke :D
Great job!!! Also welcome back, I think it's been a while since you were posting.
The point is the best part of the brisket and yeah a proper smoked brisket is going to be AMAZING so don't be shocked if you do more and you enjoy it more than pulled pork. Here in Texas brisket is king and I...
yeah @indaswamp has given a great video.
On thing to take note of, Aaron Franklin's briskets are such high quality he has all kinds of extra fat like the one in the video.
It is very likely your brisket will not have nearly this much fat to trim from the brisket you get.
I always share this...
Honestly trimming less fat is better than trimming too much fat. My rule of thumb is that I don't touch any fat unless it is clearly over 1/2 inch thick. Many will say go to 1/4 inch but sometimes it's hard to gauge that and cut too much off. So just focus on any fat that is clearly over 1/2...
Hi there and welcome!
I am 100% in favor of cutting away that thin portion of the flat and repurposing that meat for stews, grind, or braised beef dishes.
If you trim that thin flat portion off to where the flat meat you leave is about consistent in thickness with what's left. If it's going to...
Ok I went on my trip and I'm back! I was in the St Louis area (stayed in Chesterfield) for 10 days.
We had a great time there.
I got to try out Pappy's, Salt + Smoke, and Big Woody's BBQ.
I didn't get to try Sugarfire but that's ok.
Pappy's ribs were the best thing I had by a mile for BBQ in...
I use Hungarian Paprika. To me, it has a very mild non-smoked chili powder flavor. Could be subbed for chili powder that is not smoked and not hot but being mild it takes a bit more to get more flavor.
It's not mandatory at all. I just find it to be a little more flavor without going into...
I think you are getting good info so far.
I go equal parts by volume (cups, table spoons, etc.) Pepper, Onion (I use dehydrated flakes), Garlic (I use granulated, it doesn't cake up). So that is 1-Pepper/1-Onion/1-Garlic
THEN I go 0.75 of a part of Salt . So 0.75-Salt.
This means parts...
Hi there and welcome!
I think it depends.
You could go get a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker 40 inch (MES40), do the simple rewire it to (cut ends off 4 wires and wire nut to make 2 whole wires) use an Auber PID controller and cut out the safety limit switch or swap it with a 352F safety switch...
Thanks for the info! I try to be keto but we'll see what happens on the trip :D
Ah thanks! I had a lot more time to try places out there. At least it sounds like 2 of the 3 main places are in St Charles and I will be around there a few times so I think hitting up 2 of 3 will be easier than...
Thanks for all the info on the area! Yeah the ol lady wants to hit up St Charles which I bet has to do with shops and all the stuff you are talking about. At least I can double up on the BBQ joints when going there with her :D
Hahhahaa I did KC last year around this time. Here is the thread...
Thanks, pork steak for bbq was not even on my radar :D
I'll be staying in the Chesterfield area which is west of downtown St Louis by 20 min.
This is exactly the info I'm looking for!
We will be in St Charles at some point and maybe even a few times so it's good to know the 2 options there.
I...
Hey everyone.
I'll be making a trip soon to St Louis, MO and was looking for some serious no BS recommendations of BBQ places to try.
I'm expecting that St Louis Style ribs will likely be the big ticket item due to the name and location hahaha but any recommendations are appreciated.
Let me...
@moussaka I'm with @dr k on this. Lower your P value down and see how it performs. I removed all of the stuff above the heating element in my MES40 so I have less deflection and trickery caused by that stuff :D
The P value is the primary power value of how hard the controller will initial...
I wish I had the space for a chamber sealer. I hunt each year and bag 3-5 animals (deer and pigs) per year and the chamber sealer would take me forever but I still love the idea of it!
