I got mine from Lowe’s. Home Depot didn’t have the one I wanted. And you will need to cut your pieces in half or split it with a axe and check the center. The outside will not be the same as the inside if it’s greener wood. Might say 10% on the outside when the inside is at 24%. You could use a...
Seasoning time depends on where u are located. In Arizona it will season fast. In a rainy high moisture content area it will take much longer. It will season faster usually outside at first because the sun and wind will hit it. Your wood will mold in your garage if it’s fresh wood most likely...
Tossed on couple pounds of ribs and then actually used some apple, plum oak as my kindling the only used walnut. It was really good. There was something different about the smokeyness for sure but not bitter at all like the rumor going around. The wood didn’t burn very hot so a good summer wood...
I put a little bit of better on everything while it was on the smoker when the steaks were at about 120 degrees. Heated the butter on the FB. That’s the split that lasted the whole cook no joke and it’s only about 12” long not the full 16-18” that’s my little oak chopping block on the ground. I...
Both beef and sturgeon steaks were good and Man that was some good beef ribs. No brine either. Not dry at all. Brought to 200 degrees right at 5 hours cooking at 250 or so
One more look, I’m still leaning towards prime. I cooked with 100% plum wood and used one nice split that I cut into bunch of smaller pieces and I actually didn’t even use the whole piece lol. There was a 1/2 piece was left over. I chopped one in half to check the percentages in the wood, it was...
new seasons has quality meat and some waygu so i check in when I’m around. Those beef back ribs were 2.99 a pound! They looked pretty healthy to me so I went with em what do you think prime? They say they don’t grade them most likely gather some more meat this week before a cook.
Thanks Chris this butcher gets good meat!and did you notice the Broken HF knife, the handle couldn’t stand the pressure cutting a small chunch of cheese. It’s good for meats tho but obviously nothing that takes little muscle, so be carful if u get one. Give the pork shots a try there very good...
Nice sounds like you got a good supply of pin oak for the smoker. I’ve heard there’s over 23 different kinds of oak. They even have one called black oak. I like oak because it looks durable
I got a full truck load of it Wednesday. When i was working for fedex I seen some guys cutting down a tree and they said it was pin oak. They gave me a piece and I tossed it in the back of the fedex truck and used it few weeks ago. It did burn super slow. Hopefully it will be ready in a year...
For me the beef ribs are way to rich right off the smoker. I prefer the pork ribs myself and there about 1/2 the price and almost half the cooking time but it’s definitely fun to switch things up every now and then. The back ribs are much more edible for me but those can be rich also but not...
