    Chuckie way ahead on the score card...

    I have went quite a few rounds with Chuckie, and all 3 judges have him way ahead on the score card. I tried Poorman Burnt Ends, but they were definitely drier and chewier than we wanted, and I love my Pork Belly ones better anyway. I have done a few pulled. But the Mrs only likes here pulled...

    Pork Belly Burnt Ends (step by step) and is there a PBBEA?

    Thanks everyone, first carousel ride for the new smoker! If you do try my recipe, try with my glaze. Between the honey and the blackberry jelly, they take on almost a candied profile. Plan to have left overs, pretty much failed again. Because the chuckie came off so late, the PBBE became the...

    Bone headed mistakes...

    Tell me I am not the only one that makes some kind of bone headed mistake with every smoke. Yesterday I had two. First, was with my method of adding charcoal to the smoker. I have my camp chef 2 burner explorer stove next to my smoker. When I am running the smoker I pull of one of the griddles...

    Think I figured out how to have Pork Belly Burnt End Leftovers

    Turkey Breast are out, and here's the post with the details Took way more than 3-4 hours I was expecting, having those 2 pans of PBBE in the bottom of the smoker for 2 1/2 hours really jacked with the cooking times on everything else. Chucky feels pretty dang tender but only at 170, if we have...

    Keeping brisket warm for 4 hours, should I worry about temperature rise? 2nd brisket failure?

    There was a recent post (prob 2 or 3 weeks back) where someone had a brisket that was still not probe tender at like 203, and if I remember right the final pull temp for that brisket was like 207. The conversation was a real eye opener for me, I wish I could remember the title of the thread. The...

    Newbie! Pulled pork question

    I think what you are describing is evaporative cooling. That butt was sitting in a sauna, sweating in pork juices and whatever other goodness you put in the pan. When you pull the foil, the surface liquid evaporates and cools the meat some. The same effect as you would feel if you were in a...

    Pollo a la Brasa

    That sounds right! I had to LOL that you think this addled mind has a chance at remembering the location and/or name of a restaurant from the late 90's. Heck I am lucky to find my way back from the restroom these days LOL Yep that reminded me of another dish we use to get there that had those...

    Brisket Conundrum for Newbie

    Remember you are likely to loose 2+ pounds of fat when you trim that packer. Some of the advantages to packer you loose because you have to separate to fit in the MES30. But having that point for some "real" burnt ends is fantastic for sure! There have been several threads recently about how...
