    First chuck burnt ends

    In order to accurately simulate a chuck roast your wood should be showing the end grain only. Ergo you cubed it with the grain.

    SMF Fantasy Football- Season 2

    It's a PPR league, .5 point per reception, everything else is pretty standard for a stat based league. Roster is QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 WR/RB/TE flex position, 1 K, 1 DEF and 7 bench positions. Last year we held a live draft, probably do it again this year. Any other, more specific questions...

    First chuck burnt ends

    Let me try saying it a different way- You cubed it with the grain.

    First chuck burnt ends

    Learned this the hard way on my first couple of chuckies, now I pay very close attention to grain direction, I inspect the meat before I cook it and pay close attention when I chunk it up. Just like cutting a steak, make a long cut with the grain and then a cut perpendicular to the first and...

    First chuck burnt ends

    You have to be careful to cut chuck across the grain if you want really tender burnt ends. Sometimes it is difficult to tell which way it runs.

    SMF Fantasy Football- Season 2

    Fantasy football is back. We had 6 players last year in what turned out to be a very competitive league. All of the original 6 are back for season 2 so I am going to open it up to new players for this season. We have room for 4 more in the current league, so if you want in just respond to this...

    Food safe wood treatment

    Ah... a smoke house, that is outside and exposed to the elements I assume. In that case I recommend a good quality spar varnish, it is made to stand up to the elements.

    Food safe wood treatment

    Are you treating wood handles and shelves on your smoker?

    Extending Rib Cook time?

    At 275° 3 pound racks will take an extra half hour in the foil. Chef Jimmy J's reheat method is a good option if you can cook today.

    Extending Rib Cook time?

    300° degree cook temp, foil with brown sugar and bbq sauce after 2 hours cook for another hour and they will be done. This is assuming loin back or St. Louis spares in the 3 pound range. Smaller will be less time larger a bit more.  Lengthening the cook time risks drying out the meat IMHO.

    Rub Proportions

    Generally the "rule" is this for dry rubs, 8-3-1-1-1. In other words 8 parts of the main ingredient, usually salt or sugar, 3 parts of the second ingredient and 1 part of each of the rest. However this is a general guide and not necessarily to everyone's taste, For instance, my butt rub is 6...

    First pork shoulder, advice please!

    Why did you shut the smoker off? I certainly hope that you didn't read that particular bit of advice on SMF? Whoever is peddling that advice is doing a disservice to novice BBQers IMHO.  I also do not recommend that your temp probe touch the bone, bone is not meat and the temp of the meat is...

    Is turbinado sugar a direct replacement for brown sugar?

    ^^^^^This... and turbinado has the same molasses content as light brown sugar.

    Anyone Know What kind Of Tree This Is?

    True, however I believe I can see opposite leaf configuration in the second photo of the first post, perhaps in the first photo as well. Given that I, in my research, can find no elm with a samara as long as those in the first photo I assume that the trees in the first picture are ash. It may...
