    Scott Rea venison butchery masterclass video

    I like his lamb butchery videos. Very practical approach. The only issue is many cuts have different names than what you expect in US.

    No wrap, no spritz, when right?

    I personally wrap everything. But have noticed that leaner meats are much more susceptible to surface drying out. Grass fed beef in particular. I've considered basting with tallow one time instead of wrapping, but never actually tried it.

    No wrap, no spritz, when right?

    When you say dried out, was it the surface was like jerky? Or the meat was dry when chewing it? Under done meat is dry, so if it didn't probe tender, it'll be dry. If the surface was like jerky, that's a separate issue which water pan, spritzing and or wrapping can help.

    Diy pellet conversions

    I'll let you know if I do it and how it goes I've cooked on others pellet grills, and mostly agree. My main use case would be for brisket and pork butt. Currently I smoke on the offset the day before then cook/hold for 18 to 24 hours in an MES. This works but has limitations. 1) I have to get...

    tough old bird

    I started reading this post and was trying to figure out how the OP was finding chickens that cheap. Even spent hens are going for at least $15 around here. Then realized how old the thread is, lol. Do agree though, cooked properly they are very tasty. They make the BEST canned chicken.

    Diy pellet conversions

    It's been 12 long months since I bought a new smoker, so I'm getting the itch. 🤣 Anyone here done a pellet conversion? I was looking at pellet poopers when I started thinking it would be cool to have the option to use the firebox or set it and forget it. Or even better, start with an offset fire...

    1st underground pig roast

    I've never done a pig in the ground and maybe folks more knowledgeable than me, but my understanding of the dangers of galvanized is inhalation of the zinc. Causes SEVERE flu like symptoms. Since you are wrapping in foil, I wouldn't worry about the food and your hole is outside and presumably in...

    Pulled Pork a little dry - overcooked?

    Thanks for the description of over done on PP and brisket. Very sustinctly (no clue how to spell that one, lol) put. I've always wanted this described.

    D.I.Y Offset Horizontal Reverse Flow Smoker

    The thicker the steel, the better it will maintain temperature. Plenty of smokers are make out of 1/8" steel. Thinner than that, an offset is going to feel flimsy in my opinion. Maybe you can't find propane tanks, but there must be industrial tanks there. We've seen folks use oil tanks, air...

    Ibores Goat Cheese finished

    Amazing! Looks so good. I know you have a knack for natural rind, but do you think the paprika helped inhibit mold? Looked totally edible even before scraping.

    Crispy Pork Belly with Cowboy Candy

    This looks awesome! I've been wanting to do skin on pork belly. Does Albertsons usually carry them? I've never seen one. I bet I could get one at Kelly's, but probably for >$10/lb...

    Mutton Ribs on the Weber kettle

    We were in NY city a year ago at the top of 1 World Trade Center and one landed on the window outside in front of me...1200 feet in the air! Didn't know bus could fly that high. Those look great! Much meatier than mine. This was an intact ram, so he was much skinnier and lean than if he were...

    A Blackstone Weekend

    Looks awesome! Tacos is definitely a strong point of the Blackstone. I HIGHLY recommend you try what we can cheesy tacos (I'm sure there is a real name, don't know what it is). Put down a good about of cheese then the cold tortilla on top of that. Once the cheese melts smash it down with a...

    Mutton Ribs on the Weber kettle

    I think most people think of Lamb as the word for meat from a sheep (I know I did), but as opposed pork or beef (which is a generic term afaik) lamb is specific to the age of the animal. I'm the US, lamb is less than 2 y.o. but in the rest of the world lamb is under 1 year old, hogget between 1...

    Smoked Elk Burgers With Hatch Green Chili Style ABT’s!

    Looks amazing. Any chance you can provide rough instructions for the ABTs? Are they roasted and peeled and then you make them? I'd like to make some tomorrow.
