Anybody buy Brisket at Costco?
They have recently started selling whole prime packers in some places. The one I got last week was 14.5 lbs. At the costco here they had the Packers at the end of the cooler, a ways down from the flats. -
Just throwing this out there
So you went to an auction site to get a better deal on something and are made because you actually did the math and realized it wasn't that great of a deal? If you buy much of anything online without comparing prices including shipping and verifying everything then you shouldn't expect the best...- jeepdiver

LET'S TALK BRISKET!!
That looks a lot more like sirloin than filet to me. Most filet, even prime is not marbled like that. The small top sirloin steaks like that are great eating though. Use to get them for 3 buck a lb about 10 years ago in Fl, don't see them here in Denver much though -
Anybody buy Brisket at Costco?
The packer I picked up last week looks like it will need some trimming. I stuck it in the freezer since I won't be able to smoke it for a while but looking at the package the fat cap was really thick on one end, to the point that it won't render out. I usually try to trim to 1/2 inch or so... -
LET'S TALK BRISKET!!
It was untrimmed so had a good bit of fat, but was better than the 9-15 /lb all of the butcher shops around here want for trimmed brisket. Walmart has choice for 3.00 a lb, but they usually only have 1 or 2 which loom to be over 50% fat -
LET'S TALK BRISKET!!
Just picked up a prime whole packer from costco today for 3.98 lb. Won't be able to smoke it for a while so into the freezer it went, but have had a hard time finding packers here in Denver so had to grab it while I could. Now I just need a free weekend which won't happen until after Labor Day -
Buying a pellet grill this weekend, need input ASAP, which brand/model?
Most pellet grills don't hold temps great if they are empty. You need some thermal mass to keep swings down. Try cooking a couple of butt and see how it holds- jeepdiver

Smoked Salt and some Dried Fruit
That is what I use. Usually just throw in a pan full when doing cheese.- jeepdiver

Smoked Salt and some Dried Fruit
Just about anything. Goes real good on eggs. Good sprinkled on steak before grilling them. A lot of veggies and beans taste better with a bit of smoke- jeepdiver

Smoke in Progress: Rack of beef short ribs.
I would pay top $$$ for beef ribs like that. Nothing but bones with jerky on them around here. Was watching BBQ Pitmasters a few weeks ago and about fainted at the ribs they pulled out of the cooler. Remember a local restaurant as a kid that had great beef ribs and quit carrying them in my...- jeepdiver

Tri Tip: low and slow or cook it quickly at 350?
Yep reverse sear it. You can look up fast eddy tri tip and his directions work perfect on my pg500. You will have to adjust for your smoker/grill -
Hog Middle Prepping For 'Nduja
Granny use to say you knew they were fresh if the still had corn in them. That is one of the few things I will not eat -
Is your smoker your main cooker?
I have a Cookshack fast eddy PG500 that I replaced both a gas grill and smoker. It is probably the best grill I have ever owned, can cook a steak at 800+ degrees, chicken thighs indirect at 350-400 for nice bite through skin quickly or anything in between for grilling. Drop it to the 225-250...- jeepdiver

Johnsonville brats
Casings need to be cooked around 250ish to get the good bite through snap. Or you can cold smoke them and just finish on the grill. Someats I like the smoky flavor more so do low and slow and sacrifice the snap -
Why is Franklin BBQ in austin so good?
Well he lives in Denver but is from Mississippi, and has lived in Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama, and Florida. He has also traveled the world and knows how to appriciate what a region is known for. I don't order Pork in Texas, Jerk in Memphis, or Beef in Jamaica. I also expect vinegar based... -
Oh Yeah....
Got a recipe for it? Always looking for good low carb side dishes. Thanks in advance -
Why is Franklin BBQ in austin so good?
If you order beef in Memphis, you know very little about BBQ. If you think all pork = frozen shit from Sam's you know even less. Brisket is no harder than a butt if you have patience, the butt just makes it easier to hide issues. -

I always do my naked the entire time. I really expected him to not like it, but you could tell he liked it and his mind was spining a hit -
Why are my chicken legs bloody?
If you checked the temp over the grate that could be your problem. The pg500 is so hot at grate it throes off temps. I pull things to zone 4 and let them sit a min before probing them- jeepdiver
