Brisket Has Stalled
My last brisket was a full packer prime from costco. I took the point to 165, then separated from the flat. Flat was about 180. I cubed the point for burnt ends and put back in smoker in foil pan. I wrapped the flat, put back on smoker til it hit 202. Placed in cooler until burnt ends were... -
3 meats today (in the freakin rain)
I am starting with BB Ribs and doing a 5-6 hour cook at 225. I also have 4 large bone in chicken breasts (never smoked before) and lollipop legs. I want to do the entire cook at 225 and a bit unsure about the breasts. I would guess 2.5 to 3.5 hours at this temp to reach 160. The lollipops... -

Showing off my new racks...
In an effort to get more efficient (ok, lazy), I purchased a couple of racks for smoking chicken legs and wings. I searched all over the web and most of what I saw was welded wire racks made in china. I then searched ebay more closely and found these "nuclear grade" racks which are totally...- albinva

Three meats - One Temp
So I wanted to have a 3 meat menu and decided on a half slab of Pork Belly, a 6.5 lb Spatchcock Chicken and 12 chicken legs that I did lollipop style. I selected 225 as the cook temperature on my Traeger Texas pellet grill. After doing some research (here and in my memory banks) I figured out...- albinva

Made another pork belly.
Did you brine your fresh pork belly before smoking? What was approximate cooking time (3.5-4 hours?) Thanks, Al -
Did 2-2-1 this weekend with 6 baby back ribs and seems a bit dry not tender.
I cooked 6 racks yesterday doing 1-4-1 method. (180 smoke mode -225- 180 smoke mode). Dry rub only, no spray, no water pan, no foil, no sauce. They came out moist and tender. I use a Traeger Texas (pellet) smoker. I am doing 2 whole chickens today. Taking advantage of 60 degree February... -
Back ribs from costco
Did 6 racks of back ribs on the Traeger yesterday. Started at 11:30, off to play tennis from 2PM - 4PM. Back with a few buds and beers to finish the cook and chowed down at 5:30. This pic was taken with about 1 hour left in the cook. They came out great. -

Back ribs from costco
I score mine for the same reason but it also makes sense for rub application and smoke inhalation. I do go one step further. I remove the blood veins and accompanying membrane as well. Al -
Back ribs from costco
Thanks for the link. I agree, the material on the back ribs does not seem like membrane to me. It is a thicker fatty type material that does not cook down or render like I think fat would. It is a bit of a tough chew on the finished 3-2-1 cook. I do remove the blood veins from the ribs when... -
Back ribs from costco
Thanks all, I am familiar with the techniques on removing the membrane from ribs. My contention is that the membrane on the ribs from costco seem to be different than other sources. The spoon, butter knife, paper towel methods don't work for me. I end up scraping bone by bone. The plus side... -
Back ribs from costco
I have purchased these ribs (3 pack) several times. Each time I have had a real problem removing the thick membrane from the back. I have peeled membrane from other racks before (non-costco) but unsuccessful with these. Any ideas
