    MB Gravity Series Mods review

    I have had the 800 for about a month now. The manifold is already dirty and a little rusty. What is the drip pan you're talking about that goes under the bottom grate? That sounds like it could save a lot on cleanup. And the foil idea over the grease pan is a great idea.

    Dry-aged rib steak help

    Wondering if anyone has ideas or thoughts on what may have gone wrong. I dry aged 12 pounds of boneless prime ribeye for 4 weeks in an umai bag. It looked awesome when I trimmed it. Beautiful color,, nice marbling, etc. it lost 2.2 pounds, or 18 percent, in the fridge, and when I cut it into...

    Gotcha -mine easily pop out. Maybe they figured that they could make more money by making it impossible to replace the seals lol.

    Best Sub$320 Vacuum Sealer

    Sounds like you are on your way to a new one. Others looking at the thread can check the gaskets. They can be replaced for cheap and fix some issue. I have a nearly 20-year old food saver that stoped sealing. New gaskets and works good as new.

    Rosemary in brisket rub

    I have used that rub a few times. The author says rosemary is an important part of it with a flavor @in the background." I can't really detect it in the food but will go along with the idea. I think a little bit in a brisket rub wound be pretty subtle. He adds no salt because he says to salt...

    First time beef ribs

    So here's what we have. It was an excellent meal, no question. The short ribs came off in like 3 hours as I mentioned. I wound up wrapping the bigger bones and glad I did. I don't understand what happened next. One packet of ribs was done after about 7 hours -- meat had the texture of warm...

    First time beef ribs

    Just pulled the smaller ribs that had been cut in half. The difference in texture vs the big ones at this point was obvious. IT was 205-210. Larger ones are at 160. Am going to add fresh coals to try and push past the stall before I decide whether to wrap or not.

    Hello from Boston area

    Hello everyone! I have been on this great forum since I got into this with covid. I have posted a few questions and whatnot before, but just now posted for the first time about a cook (beef ribs), so I thought I would introduce myself. I have been cooking with a bullet smoker, but there is some...

    First time beef ribs

    First time posting about a cook here. On Friday night, I decided to cook beef ribs on Sunday (today). I checked around on Saturday at supermarkets, Costco and a few butchers but no one had full size beef ribs. Not surprising. But then I remembered the Lebanese market has a halal butcher, and...

    First Bacon Attempt wIth BB

    Good questions. I've wondered the same thing. I measure to a gram or fraction of a gram if I can and then leave behind some. I have been not doing the minimum amount of nitrite because if that but I don't know if that's needed or appropriate.
