    30 day dry aged rib roast...

    The difference between 30-45 is pronounced and I am not sure I would care for much beyond the 45 day as far as taste. The nuttiness has a short after taste that overwhelms the beefy flavor at that point. Both are very tender and that prime roast was juicier than I expected.

    Thankee Sai... I received three of those last week and I typically throw one on the Rec Tec if I have anything else smoking, but the pollen is so bad down here this week, I decided to toss one in the bath while I was pulling the dry aged strip out of the ager... not sure which one I would give...

    Waiting...

    Prosciutto and lomo out of curing and starting their 5 week drying period. Dry aged strips come out next weekend after a 30 day dry age. Prime rib roast has several more weeks if dry aging and the Spanish Chorizo finishes out in a couple weeks. I have 6 different curing processes running at the...

    Very nice... I rarely separate, but that 5-6 hour quicky sure sounds good for this busy weekend I have coming up. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Dry Aging and Wagyu... Life is good.

    1. Yes. I use a USB fan that I plug into the side of the UV-C light USB port. The Light is mounted on the upper shelf to the right. I have no electrical circuit run into the cabinet besides the small 18/2 cable I ran in to hardwire the UV-C Light. That is intentional as to maximize the space for...

    If you care about it...

    Lol.. simple Sirloin Tip tossed on the pellet pooper next to a packer.. pulled at 120 and tossed into the freezer for a month. This was smoked back at the beginning of January. I grabbed it out of the freezer yesterday and reheated with the SV stick for 2 hours and then seared it on the cast...

    Patience....

    I strayed off the ranch with this one. USDA Prime Grade from a Hereford Angus mix out of Texas. 9 pound 3 rib.. I was quite pleased with the marbling. Maybe I can figure out how to cook it when it ages a few days...

    Patience....

    I probably made it a bit harder than it needed because I wanted to dry age at 38* and 65% humidity and then switch over to dry cure at 55*... it really isn't designed to push down into the mid thirties in as it is not factory designed with a defroster. I am manually defrosting with a heat gun...
