    Prime Rib Roast Q's

    Purely curious - From what I'm gathering (never cooked one) a standing "prime" rib roast, uncooked and sliced is essentially rib eyes, correct?  " A standing rib roast, if sliced when uncooked, would yield a number of rib steaks. Rib eye steaks result from removing the bones and most of the...

    Is Sam's Club Membarship Worth It? Here's My Recent Experience

    The main things that make the membership worthwhile to us is: Cost of meat items (primarily USDA Prime, ribs ($2.99/lb) and hot dogs) Cost of dog treats (2 dogs, and they're spoiled) Cost of cleaning items (Lysol, dish washer soap, etc.) Cost of some fruits/veggies (primarily grapes...

    vinegar and ribs

    Right - I just use water too - thought maybe vinegar/cider vinegar did something water may not have - hence why I asked. :) Thanks for replying!

    Charcoal Question

    The most popular smoking woods are fruitwoods (pecan, cherry, apple, etc.).

    vinegar and ribs

    Just curious - why a "quick rinse"? Does vinegar do anything when used as a "rinsing" agent?

    Finally back at it- Boston Butt smoking now

    Curious how foiling it @ 165 will turn out. I have never foiled any shoulders - they seem to have enough fat to keep them moist to probably 225*. (though most pull before 200*).  Keep us posted!

    Charcoal Question

    MOST hardwoods do not provide enough smoke for traditional BBQ. However, some folks who like low smokey flavor, prefer using hardwoods that give off a small amount of smoke, and not using extra wood(s) for flavor. I add whatever fruitwood I am using to the fire when using lump. But I like a...

    $100 what would you buy?

    1. Meat. 2. Meat.  If you don't normally have Prime, get Prime. You can spend $100 pretty quick.  It's essential "gear" to having a good BBQ/cookout/grilling session.

    Anyone Dry Age Beef?

    I try, whenever researching, to gather as much info as I possibly can. Its not that I didn't select pieces from here and there - it seems most info is about the same, regarding this topic.

    Anyone Dry Age Beef?

    Huh. Maybe you should do a little research next time my friend. This isn't "snake oil" stuff... There's a couple of ways to do it - many find using these bags, is more convenient.  Maybe you'd like to come over and have a steak with me..  *cheers*

    Dry aged beef

    I wouldn't use the FS bags - because they don't allow the meat to "breathe" (let moisture escape). You need to try the dry bag steak bags - which are special bags designed to allow moisture to escape, which is what "dry" aging is all about.  Or you can go "commando" (no bags, just leave the...

    Chocolate rub or coffee rub or even both!

    I like the Kat Island rub as well. A happy customer here. I always add a pinch here and there of extra ground coffee when I use it.

    Dry aged beef

    You can't "dry age" in a commercial cyrovac. That would be "wet aging". Wet aging adds tenderness, while dry aging adds tenderness and a very condensed and heavy beef flavor.  Have you dry aged at home? If so, how did you go about doing it?

    Anyone Dry Age Beef?

    I think a search on google may reveal a lot more than you think. With a special aging bag, it can be done.  Check it out: http://www.drybagsteak.com/ They have some videos too.  I cannot afford a "dry aged" Prime Ribeye from our local butcher. He wants $23/lb. I paid $7.99/lb (for a...
