    Cleaning out a freezer cook

    We'll we can send this one to the "pics or it didn't happen" boneyard. Took the cut pictures as my phone died so thought I was good, but it didn't save them. Called everything don't around 1 pm, just under 6 hours total cook time. Lamb ribs were perfect. Slicable, tender, moist. Good fat...

    1930's offset smoker found in the "field".

    Ahh! I was wondering why the lid was so high. I assumed the great was low and food got "dropped in".

    Cleaning out a freezer cook

    Missed getting a picture, but everything is pretty close. Lamb ribs and neck meat are in a full hotel pan with some lamb stock, BBQ sauce and a splash of vinegar. Short ribs are in a half hotel pan with beef stock. Lamb neck bones are wrapped with bacon grease and a little sauce. I'm optimistic...

    Cleaning out a freezer cook

    I'd typically do then hotter. Can't remember who, but someone here advised me to run then 325 or 350, and that's what I typically do. They are like 40% fat, so you have to get it well rendered, but they are so thin you risk drying them out. I think all the lamb will go in a pan with some liquid...

    Cleaning out a freezer cook

    A little over 2 hours in. Bark was looking a little dry. Basted with a vinegar/bacon grease emulsion. Used mint for the "brush". I'll measure IT at the 3 hour mark. Planning to wrap at good bark or 175 whatever comes first.

    Smoked boneless chicken breast. Questions?

    That sounds like the ticket to me. I'd eat the heck out of smoked cordon Bleu!

    Help me get short ribs done on time

    Alright, thanks for all the good tips. I love this place. We managed to go to mass tonight, so it's on for tomorrow. Going to shoot for 300. Got several other things going on, so I'll start a separate thread. Wish me luck!

    Smoked boneless chicken breast. Questions?

    Feed the breasts to the dogs and go buy some chicken thighs, lol. (Kind of) Joking aside, my only tip is brine them for 24 hours. A well brined breast is pretty forgiving.

    Help me get short ribs done on time

    Thanks for the guidance. Definitely still going to shoot for the higher temp to make sure we get done. I'll let you know what they are when I find out. About to unwrap and season. The cow was NOT butchered at a USDA approved facility, so you never know what you'll get...

    Help me get short ribs done on time

    Message received loud and clear, lol. Dinner is pushed back. @chopsaw , I saw your message around the time we will leave for church, so I just started a 2 hour dry run. So it'll only be a "sort of " new method 😬. If it didn't go smooth, we "can" go to church tonight, but my wife wants to go in...

    Help me get short ribs done on time

    Oh also, this will be the first time in using the propane burner that came with my big offset. Going to use it to hold temp while we go to church. Trying to decide whether I mostly run wood and only use the burner while we are gone, or just run the burner the whole time with wood sitting on it...

    Help me get short ribs done on time

    My usual approach would be to start the day before in the offset, smoke till bed time, finish overnight in the oven or electric smoker then keep in a warmer till eating time. For a few reasons, that won't work this weekend. Cook day is tomorrow, we have guests coming over and someone else is...

    Cracked open a one year old parmesan last night

    Looks amazing as usual! Parmesan is on my, "would love to, but probably will never try it" list. Did you vac seal it?

    Problem grinding beef today

    Yeah, beef fat is challenging. One thing that helps us is alternating fat and lean meat. A good cold piece of lean meat will help clear and groves and keep the fat feeding through the auger. Trying to feed all the fat, then the leaner meat is most challenging.
