    Injection ? for sirloin tip roast

    I too felt that it might be too dense to infuse and just leave flavor pockets. My thought is to either make it Italian style or Southwestern. thanks for the replies and input. Jack~

    center cut pork loin- good plan for first time??

    I have never run mine to 165,, too dry for me. I feel comfortable at 135F,, foil wrap for about an hour. My guess is about 3 1/2 hrs at 235-245 for the size you posted. I have never injected a loin but the Crillio is an excellent marinade. I add some orange juice to mine for some additional...

    Prime Rib Roast what temp??

    My guess is less than 6 hours at the temp you posted. It will get to 130F in about 51/2 hrs would be my exact guess. Keep a probe in it and monitor. It will cook much faster than the butt. The juices (in your situation) would be the ones from having it tented not from the smoker. It will...

    Prime Rib Roast what temp??

    I use Tones beef soup base diluted with water. ( you could use a beef bouillon or 2 but they have alot of sodium) I get the Tones at Sam's. Bring to a simmer and add Worcestershire and ground black pepper and only a pinch of salt. Reduce down a bit then add prepared horse radish (usually found...

    greek rub for meats

    It becomes very authentic flavor blends by adding Greek oregano, minced dried lemon zest and minced dried mint. I have been cultivating Chocolate mint for some variations. If you wish to avoid another addiction, don't try this on lamb or chicken. It is awesome and really makes a robust flavor...

    Prime Rib Roast what temp??

    That sounds fabulous ! When I get a loan from the bank to get them I smoke with hickory and pecan, 50/50 ratio at 235-250F until 135 on the nose is reached. Pull and foil tent the serving platter for a full 30mins or so. The smaller ends are more toward med and the center is a succulent gorgeous...

    Experimental Wings

    I was debating on using a water pan or not. I have used one on all my poultry for so long that I could not remember if they were darker without it. There is a popular local smoke shack in town that makes them almost black and very tasty. I am challenging myself to exceed his very good product...

    What is your best way to re-heat PP quickly

    The way I thaw and re-heat my PP is in a slow cooker on the lowest temp. I add a finishing sauce for additional liquid. Is there any suggestions using a micro-wave, ziplock boil bags, etc. that does well without degrading texture or flavor. Sometimes I just want a quick sammie and hate the...

    Tboned by tboner

    A friend of mine called me back in Texas and asked my suggestions on a 2" Tbone steak that his processor made a mistake with. A long story short is he cannot return them and he has 10 of 'em. He is an avid smoker and competent griller but was at a lost on how to try and smoke and/or grill this...
