Thanks for the likes, guys! It was a fun, yet nerve-wracking, experience. I definitely searched through a lot of the posts on these forums to get ideas & it was extremely helpful.
Cooked my first brisket yesterday. I got a 7 lb. flat from a local meat market. It came fairly pretrimmed, but I removed some spots with hard fat. I seasoned it with equal parts kosher salt, freshly cracked pepper, & granulated garlic. I also set up a 1.5 lb. log of bologna to keep it company...
I think the core decision of pellet vs charcoal comes down to personal preference.
I love charcoal for so many reasons, not just the flavor. Myself, and possibly a friend, can sit outside & enjoy the process while puffing on stogies. The challenge that charcoal sometimes causes makes it feel...
I live in Memphis, so there are a plethora of local rubs available here, but I'm not sure how far they get distributed. The biggest names & the most likely to get widely distributed are Rendezvous & Corky's. I'm a big fan of Central's Hot Rub, which I use for wings, & their Rib rub. If you can...
So I didn't exactly know where this was supposed to go given that I think each item has its own category on this site. Tonight I meal-prepped for the week with an assortment of items. It was my first time cooking lamb of any sort, & my second time cooking a fatty. I have become rather familiar...
So like the title says my pork butt cooked fast. For a variety of reasons and my own mistakes my WSM stayed at 275 all night. Pork butt came off at 8 am, 30 minutes ago. I've foiled it and put it in a good cooler.
The party is being served at 4 PM. Will the cooler work? Should I be wary of...
The coals stayed lit for at least 10 hours. Pre-cook & cook time was about 7 hours, & I shut all the bottom vents when I brought the ribs in. 3 hours later the WSM was still too hot to relocate. Had to wait until the next morning.
In our house, food is often very experimental. Once food is cooked, we'll commonly experiment with leftovers. This last weekend we pulled apart a few ribs from leftovers in the fridge & made BBQ omelets with red onions, cheddar, & some rub. One time we also used smoked bologna & made BBQ...
I'm still a rookie with the WSM, so maybe I am a bit more experimental lol. It worked out really well & the bricks worked well as a way to keep the snake rolling without lighting other ends of it. I like lump flavor, but prefer the consistency & duration of briquettes, so combining the two made...
I've been working on my Baby Back Ribs & reading a lot of the posts about it here on these forums. These are the best ribs I've made yet.
I did the 3-2-1 method & used a slightly modified version of @chef jimmyj 's foiling juice. That juice is amazing and using it as a glaze at the end is the...
