    Tri-tip

    Nice - my wife loves ground tri-tip for burgers - she says they are the best tasting burgers she has ever eaten. Currently priced at $3.08 at the local Cash and Carry, which is cheaper than the nasty ground meat we can get at the grocery stores.

    Trying to decide on which pellet grill

    I have a Traeger, and I'd not purchase one again - mostly not because it is substandard, but because it is a "name brand" that relies on people not knowing of other options. I also have a GMG, and it works quite well. Considering the initial cost of the Traeger, and the PID upgrade I needed to...

    Burnt ends

    You can also grind up the trimmed thin pieces of the flat for burgers - most excellent flavor, and gives you something to munch on while the brisket cooks.

    Corned beef packer

    Thanks Richie, and thanks for the like! Thanks Chris - we made Reuben sammies yesterday and they were butter tender. Thank you for the like! I know what you mean, Al - at the regular grocery stores I too only see the point or flat (small ones at that). These days I normally shop at Cash and...

    Corned beef packer

    Nothing special, but a tasty treat for me and the missus. A friend in food service stopped by the other day with a corned beef brisket, and of course, I immediately prepared it for smoking. Separating the point fronm the flat, the meat was smoked at around 250F for 2 hours using mesquite...

    Substituting cauliflower for potatoes?

    I made a cream of cauliflower soup for New Years, and a friend in food service commented on how good it was. As long as foods are spiced correctly, you can do just about anything and it will be good.

    Standard controller or PID controller

    I too live in the Pacific Northwest. I use an Auber dual probe PID to control a Bradley 4-rack analog smoker. It works great. I use it in the Bradley mainly for smoking cheese, which is a perfect use for the underpowered Bradley. I started smoking meats about 30 years ago using a Big Chief, and...

    If you had 10lbs of bone-in shoulder....what would you make with it?

    I'd probably make pulled pork as Al suggested (probably about half ), and the other half for sausage (sage is my favorite) I like to make casing-less free-form sausage that I put into plastic freezer storage sacks with enough meat within to squash to an overall thickness of about half an inch...

    Sure looks good!

    Cleaning MES Window Without Any Chemicals At All

    I cannot thank you enough for this post Bear! For the first time in about 30 years it is easy to see the fire through the glass in our wood burning fireplace insert. Sure, I could have cleaned it with other methods, but was just too lazy because it is so difficult. Your ash method makes the...

    Veterans Day

    My boy is currently on his 4th deployment to the Middle East, on ops every other day, and as a parent I suffer every minute he is gone.

    SV Ox Tail Tacos!!

    Looks fantastic! My favorite way to prepare ox tails is braising in a red wine based liquid, but I might need to give tacos a try

    Lox

    Looks really good Richie! I still have a half salmon filet of gravlax in the freezer - your post has inspired me to pull it out today.

    Bear’s Pulled Pork Finishing Sauce (AKA Liquid Gold)

    That looks like a great method, Bear!

    Redfish Chowder

    That looks really good - I'm going to try that recipe with rockfish which is cheap and easily available at Costco.

    Strange Bird at my Feeder

    Turkeys in my area know no fear. When they flock in the fall they invade our garden and devastate everything. We put up an 8-foot deer fence keeping out that pest, but the turkeys simply flew over the roof to come in to ruin our tomatoes (they peck holes into each tomato). They poop on...

    Smoked wild sockeye

    Thanks Bear! The minus signs were from the original post that did not appear for whatever reason, so there are no more others. Thanks for the like! The good thing about instructions to do these kind of cooks is that there is no perfect method, so that your smoke turned out good is no surprise...
