    Smoked corn?

    I have a Masterbuilt gravity series grill. I’m going to use it to do both. I run it low then pull the meat off. It will only take a minute or two to get it up to searing temp then back on. The corn would be on for the majority of the time at the lower smoky temp.

    Smoked corn?

    Thanks. I’ll go with zucchini or asparagus. Something I can cook quickly as the meat rests.

    Oxtail Birria Taco's

    Some great looking food. I hate that you might have to change the diet up but hopefully you and the doc can figure out how to keep you making awesome looking food for a long time to come.

    Smoked corn?

    I love grilling corn in the husk. It’s simple and delicious. I’m going to try my hand at my first reverse sear. Smoke an eye of round for a bit and then crank the MB 560 and sear it off. Not the best cut of meat I know but it was cheep and I figure if I’m going to try a new method for the first...

    Hello All

    Welcome from WV. It will be great to have your experience added to the group. I’m new to the curing game. My restaurant and food safety experience makes me have lovely little episodes when I’m curing. I know it’s safe and the science behind but it’s hard to break the hardwiring. Pops and...

    Storing Dry Aged meat

    I don’t know of any other way to store them aside from freezing. Did you get the meat fresh straight from a slaughterhouse? Even the local farms around me freeze their meat that they sell. Without the use of curing salt I don’t know of a safe way for long term storage aside from vacpack and...

    extra sterile equipment info NEEDED

    I second the starsan. If you have removable parts I wonder if you could put them in a pressure cooker to autoclave them? I would imagine that they would stand up to it but in the words of LeVar Burton don’t take my word for it.

    Masterbuilt 560-charcoal experience

    I love my 560. Most of the time I’m just using Kingsford. I’ve tried a couple different kinds of lump but they have burned to fast and had to many pieces that just fell to the ash bin. I’ve got the updated grate coming. I’ll try some other lump and see what results I can get. The flavor with the...

    Fun week

    Sounds like a fun week. I know I’ve been going hard on the grilling lately. Must be something in the air.

    Cure chamber cooling

    Thanks. I just read through his posts. I’m going to look into it. I need to expand my knowledge on how his system works.

    Requesting suggestions on my next grill/smoker

    I’m going to throw the Masterbuilt gravity series into the mix. If your familiar with pellets it’s similar just with fewer moving parts. It uses charcoal and wood chunks. I’ve been vary pleased with the flavor I’ve gotten out of it. It has the temperature control like a pellet. The app can be...

    Temp to Kill Trichinellosis

    As stated at the lower temperatures it’s a mater of time. You will start to kill some of the bacteria at 120 but it is a slow process. Think of it like finding you and some friends in a desert. You’ll be fine for a bit. Eventually the heat will start to get to you but it will take awhile. Some...

    Cure chamber cooling

    I have an old commercial refrigerator that I was planning on turning into a smoker. I have two smokers already and thought that this might be better used as a cureing chamber as I currently don’t have one and want one. The only downside is the refrigeration part doesn’t work. Is there some way...

    Started off tripping over vet the wrong foot

    The final shots. Everything turned out well. The ribs weren’t how I like them but the kids at the party loved them and the parents were fans as well. The beef tastes great. I’m a huge fan of it. My wife still probably likes a pot roast more but we will see. Maybe I can win her over. And one of...

    Started off tripping over vet the wrong foot

    They turned out pretty good. I normally do my ribs unwrapped but wanted to give something else a try. I was also cooking for a child’s birthday party for a bunch of kids 2-4. I figured extra tender might be good for the little ones. It’s definitely not how I’ll make ribs for myself but it played...

    Started off tripping over vet the wrong foot

    Thanks. I love him. He’s been a great kid and likes to help. I’m hopeful I can keep him a caring helpful sweet person. He’s my number one guy. Sometimes he can try the patients but he keeps me grounded.

    Started off tripping over vet the wrong foot

    Thanks. I do cherish the time. It’s just reinforced the fact that I need to step back and enjoy rather than stress as much. He’s a great kid and life could be much worse than having to hunt for a rub.

    Started off tripping over vet the wrong foot

    That’s true. I was thinking the liquid would help with reheating but it’s probably going to be too much and ruin any texture. They should have no problem with moisture.
