    Wrapping a pork butt with butcher paper???

    Eye of round? Sacrilege! Infidel! But thanks for reminding me about the sauerkraut and Swiss cheese. What was I not thinking? And yes, 1000 Island will do very nicely. I can imagine how good that onion rye tasted. And I just found out I confused the two types of rye breads I mentioned. I grew up...

    Wrapping a pork butt with butcher paper???

    Yum! Is that rye bread and is there Russian dressing inside? In a couple of weeks or so when I try my hand at pastrami, I'll serve it on Russian rye (I prefer it to Jewish rye) with the aforementioned Russian dressing. I do possess Russian heritage so this entire dish is firmly lodged in my DNA...

    Would you eat it?

    The new thinking is to not rinse poultry before using. All it does is spread contaminated water inside the sink and potentially outside as well. I only trim skinless, boneless chicken breasts of extra fat and whatever small bones and bloody stuff I might find. For whole chicken and turkey, I...

    Wrapping a pork butt with butcher paper???

    I bought the same type of brisket at the same exact time. Yes, I've seen that AR recipe. It's one of the ones I've saved.

    Yep. Thanks to Brian for pointing it out where it is now. But, the old system was much simpler. Microsoft has the same problem with taking a simple to understand system configuration and updating it into something complex with every new Windows OS version.

    Wrapping a pork butt with butcher paper???

    Did you rinse off the old brine first before applying the dry rub? I'm going to copy/paste the dry rub recipe. I've got two other pastrami recipes that I've saved. My main goal is to replicate the Katz Deli (Brooklyn) pastrami from a close copycat recipe I found.

    Nope, the system won't allow you to post a box without any text. I guess I could just type in an emoji or write "goober" or something instead.

    I'm going to test that out. I've tried it before with this new system, deleting the text, but when I returned to the window the text had reinstated itself. I was trying to avoid posting empty text boxes but I'll give it a try in a sec. But you remember the old Cancel Draft button (or whatever it...

    I was able to figure out how to post a full-size photo. But now I forgot what I did so I have to figure it out again. This next problem to solve is how to cancel a draft. I don't see that option anymore.

    I bought a large of peach (I think it's peach) butcher paper a couple of years ago but rarely use it.

    Wrapping a pork butt with butcher paper???

    I wish you'd posted photos of the sliced brisket so I could see what the meat looked like. I know it's only cosmetic but did you get a smoke ring? Your photos show why had I decided to get a charcoal-fired smoker I would've bought a WSM. I went with an electric one since it was my first smoker...

    Wrapping a pork butt with butcher paper???

    Did you follow a specific pastrami recipe? You did exactly what I plan to do with a corned beef brisket soon. I've read that after it's been smoked the pastrami is boiled and there's a finishing touch after that. I'll have to check the recipe. But your pastrami matches exactly what I'm shooting...

    Points Question

    I've already used the Like button. It's just like Facebook. I was fine with the points thing although, like "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" they didn't matter. :D

    Ash Trey Flavor on my food?

    Our weather is at the mercy of the two bratty young Spanish siblings: El Niño and La Niña. The latter is in the process of fading away and we don't yet know if her brother is going to take her place later this year.

    Are we no longer handing out points with this new forum set up? I don't see a button for it.

    Ash Trey Flavor on my food?

    John, a couple of years ago my daughter bought me an all-day BBQ class in Seattle for Father's Day. It was an amazing and treasured day, but the instructor (who owns the business) was the one who said you can't tell the difference in tastes between wood pellets in a blind tasting of smoked food...
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
