    Smoked Bloody Mary

    Bacon goes well in a Bloody Mary - that will add some smoke. Here's the formula I use for a Bloody Mary. You could sub regular Tobasco for smoked Tobasco, or smoke the celery salt. Old Bay Seasoning 2 oz Vodka 4 shakes (about 1 tsp) Dried dill 4 shakes Ground white pepper 4 shakes celery salt...

    No wrap ribs. An experiment

    I haven't wrapped ribs in years. I use the Fast Eddy method. 275F the entire time - takes about 3 hours for BB and 3 1/2 for spares.

    Have I lost my way?

    Seems right to me. 100g is 20% of the flour, which is pretty typical and on the low end for many formulas. I wouldn't use less.

    Fancy Wood Products. (Bear Jr)

    Those are superb. Are you guys located near Lake Wallenpaupack? I used to go there every year as a kid.

    Have I lost my way?

    That's the basic formula that I use down to the gram. It's based on Tartine Country Bread.

    Short ribs

    Looking good. Make sure they probe really tender before pulling them. Can't tell if these are chuck or plate. Chuck ribs usually take about 8 hours at 225F for me.

    Short ribs

    Nice. I personally like to remove most of the fat cap on these. It doesn't render very well and it prevents seasoning from getting into the meat.

    Needing a new smoker...talk me out of going pellet

    I agree, most pellet smokers do not make very good grills. The exception that I know of is the PG500/1000, which does a great job at both. If you really only want one outdoor cooker, that's what I would look at. Also, the Masterbuild gravity series, or even a good old Weber kettle like the 26".

    Needing a new smoker...talk me out of going pellet

    If you want heavy smoke flavor, then a pellet grill is probably not the right choice. You could add supplemental smoke device like a tube or tray, but that probably still won't get you there. Have you ever tasted food cooked on a pellet grill? If not, then I suggest you try before you buy...

    Burger season is getting here again

    I like thick burgers medium rare - again one of the benefits of grinding your own is that they should be safer because you can cook them much sooner after grinding and you control the cleanliness of your equipment. Smash burgers you can cook more well done. Because they cook so quickly, they...

    Lumber Jack pellets at Dick's

    I think you will be very pleased. I find their hickory indistinguishable from LJ in terms of flavor.

    Lumber Jack pellets at Dick's

    Are they still? I thought they switched to a different vendor. None of the current Cabela's pellets on their site are listed as 100% flavor wood.

    Newbie here with a few questions

    Welcome Mark. So how long did you end up cooking it, and at what temp? 12 hours would be much too long for a 3.5lb'er Was there any fat cap and do you know if this was a flat or point. In the past, briskets I've seen posted from the UK sometimes don't resemble one's we get in the US. Do you...

    Most cost efficient cut of beef for chopped/pulled beef sandwiches for a wedding ( also got a new toy to show off 36in griddle!)

    Shoulder clod or chuck roll are two other cuts that come to mind for making bbq beef.

    Lumber Jack pellets at Dick's

    Got it. Just FYI in case you or others in this thread are not aware... a group buy individual order from them is 520lbs - which is 13 bags - and does not take up too much space. It fits on one shelf of a gorilla rack in my shed.

    Lumber Jack pellets at Dick's

    Where are you located? You might consider a LJ bulk purchase from bbqpelletsonline. For me in NorCal, they costs about 40cents/lb including shipping.

    Lumber Jack pellets at Dick's

    Yeah, they are not chemically flavored. They are just a blend of base wood (alder) and flavor wood (the species of wood listed on the bag). Most bbq pellets are like this, with base wood of either oak or alder. No chemicals added. They are a very good quality, reasonable priced pellet. If...

    pH Meter Recommendations

    OK, good to know. The one's I suggested were for working with liquid and would not work for this application.

    Lumber Jack pellets at Dick's

    They're a good pellet for what they are. They are primarily alder - 70% if I recall - with the balance of the flavorwood. Hard to compare to 100% flavorwood LJ.

    Long smoke- temp and time frame question

    Don't worry about internal temperature. It is done when it has reached the desired tenderness. IT will give you a rough estimate, but that can vary widely especially at altitude. At 6000 ft, it might be dried out before it reaches 205F.
