The wife brought home a couple steaks. 2" thick Porterhouses. Figured since it's a holiday weekend, I'd reverse sear them on the Mini.
The poor unsuspecting victims.
We'd planned to do them Sunday but the weather was uncooperative. I'd already salted them, so I just put them back in the...
First off, welcome aboard!
Next, take a step back and relax. You can do this. It just takes a little time and patience. You just got a little ahead of yourself. Starting off with brisket was maybe a little bit ambitious. Ribs have their own set of disasters in waiting.

I have to brag on this little gadget again. Hadn't used the PartyQ in a while, so yesterday decided to do some chicken. Set it at 275° and the chicken hit 165° in about 2 hours. We weren't ready to eat yet, and they were thighs which would be fine going a little higher in temp anyway, so I...

My local grocery store has stopped selling butts as well. All they have now is the lower picnic portion (sort of ham shaped). It's ok, but as JJ pointed out it's a lot more waste between the bones, fat and skin. Also a lot more prep time. And this may be just me being mad at not being able to...
Al, you've disappointed me. I thought you were one of the folks I could trust. One who would do the right thing over and above self promotion and grandstanding.
But here you are, if front of God and everybody, smoking a meatloaf without a bacon wrap. For shame!!
I kid. The meatloaf looks...
