    Gravlax and smoked salt question…

    I’m about to make some cold smoked lox from some sockeye filets my coworker gave me last year from his Alaskan fishing trip. The problem is I may not have enough time to make all the filets before it starts getting too warm here. So i figured anything I don’t get to for lox, I can make gravlax...

    Vac sealed frozen Sockeye…how long is it good?

    Last winter a coworker gave me a bunch of Sockeye salmon filets he caught in Alaska. I was going to make lox but didn’t get around to it last winter before it got too warm. Was going to try now before this year’s window runs out. Filets are vacuum sealed, but have now been in my freezer over a...

    Ribs... when to wrap?

    I go by time if doing the wrap. That’s the beauty of the 3-2-1 or 2-2-1 methods. As long as you’re holding 225-230 in your smoker, they should be done following those times. If you find 2-2-1 ribs (baby backs) are TOO tender and fall apart (some people like a little bit more firm meat) then...

    Grilled pork chops using Traeger marinade

    Yes. The Pork and Poultry rub called for in the recipe. I bought it specifically so I could make the pork tenderloin recipe but I figured this marinade would work great for chops too!

    BACHAN'S ORIGINAL STICKY RIBS

    I saw a post on one of my Facebook groups last night where someone made ribs using this stuff. It looked so good especially when paired with some rice. So this stuff is better than Yoshida’s huh? I think Yoshida’s is pretty good and I use it to marinade and grill chicken thighs.

    Brining Pork Chops?

    Check out the post I just made about the chops done with Traeger marinade for smoked pork tenderloins. Worked just as well for chops. Marinaded for 24 hours and grilled them. Incredibly juicy and sweet. Almost as good as a steak…almost 🤣

    Grilled pork chops using Traeger marinade

    Made some grilled pork chops tonight using the Traeger smoked pork tenderloin recipe. I doubled the marinade recipe for these bone-in chops and marinated for 24 hours. Used a good quality Simply Apple for the apple juice called for in the recipe. Grilled the chops over a medium fire instead of...

    Ribs... when to wrap?

    For a newbie start off with the 3-2-1 method if doing spare ribs and the 2-2-1 method for baby backs. Then tweak those times from there depending on your preference. For instance when I do baby backs, instead of the standard 2-2-1 I like 3-1-1…that is 3 hours on the smoke, 1 hour in the foil...

    Looking to replicate pulled pork “bbq sauce”…

    So my manager brought into work some pulled pork he made on his stick burner. It was absolutely incredible, and was better than any pulled pork I’ve had here in Memphis at any of the well known bbq restaurants. The pork was moist, and just had an incredible flavor profile in addition to the...

    Thanksgiving Prime Rib

    I just wish there wasn’t so much fat you have to cut away! I mean, I know that’s the name of the game with prime rib, but I feel like 1/4 of that slab was pure fat I had to cut off.

    Thermoworks DOT always reading high!

    Does anyone else have a Thermoworks DOT and find it’s always off by 10-15°? Ever since I’ve had this thing, it’s always reading 10-15° higher than my MK4. I tested the probes in boiling water once and they were spot on. I even bought a second probe thinking there might be something wrong with...

    Thanksgiving Prime Rib

    Well it’s a couple days late due to my work schedule, but I’d say this year’s Thanksgiving meal turned out perfect! There are some slight changes I’d do next time. I think next time I’d trim more fat off the outside. I did trim a little off, but all the butter herb crust was on mostly inedible...

    Demi glacé recipe needed and question

    oh I was looking at using this More Than Gourmet Demi Glace Gold. It wasn’t too expensive. One container looks like it reconstitutes to make 1 cups worth of demi glace. I was just questioning whether product like this had to absolutely be diluted with water first, or if you can just spoon some...

    Demi glacé recipe needed and question

    Looking for a killer red wine Demi glacé sauce to go with my prime rib for Thanksgiving. I also have a general question about using Demi glacé. I remember years ago I made some crock pot mushrooms. I used red wine and beef stock like I normally do, but I had a container of Demi glacé (in its...

    What to do with Eye Round Roast

    I did an Eye of Round once that my in-laws had in their freezer. I came across a recipe where you put it in the oven on a high temp for like 7 mins/lb. Then you shut off the oven until the ITT comes to the temp. I think the recipe was designed to have the roast come out medium rare. We sliced it...

    Replica for The Shed Rack Attack rub?

    Anyone have a good replica for a rub like The Shed’s Rack Attack? I have tons of rubs in my pantry. When trying to decide what to go with for today’s rib and bologna cook, I sampled everything in my Arsenal. Most of my rubs you get hit with a lot of salt taste…the Shed Rack Attack has very...
