    Looking for opinions on no roll Ribeye

    A grocery store nearby has whole ribeye for $3.88 / lb. But when I inquired about them, I found out that they are no rolls (un-graded). I'm wondering if this is a big deal? I didn't know there was such a thing before I looked into this deal. So my question is, fellow meat...

    Tri Tip Question

    I wanted to give tri tip a shot after seeing them on here. I asked the assistant manager of the meat dept. about tri tip the other day. He claimed that 95% of them are shipped to the west coast, and they can never get their hands on any. Is this true? He also said the closest thing he had...

    Walmart Packers

    As much as I hate Waterhead World, when I am forced to go there, I usually check them out. I'll probably break down and try one at some point. Appreciate the conversation on this.

    First smoke in my new MES, baby backs, w/ Qview

    I find that with my MES 30, the longer into the smoke, the closer my ET-73 and the thermo on the MES begin to get closer to one another.

    I can't even imagine making that much food! It gets frantic for me just cooking a couple items for a few people.

    MES and Smoke Rings

    I cooked a fatty yesterday in my MES. I also had water in the pan because I was cooking a whole turkey as well. I don't use a ton of chips (was using apple yesterday). Now, I have a side firebox cooker as well, and the smoke is definitely stronger, but I can still get "some" smoke & rings in...

    Fattie Calzone

    thanks for the kind words. I smoked the fatty first. Then when the internal temp was 165, I pulled it off and wrapped it in the pizza dough, and put it in the oven at 425. After 6 minutes, I took a stick of butter and rubbed it on the dough. When it was almost done, I even flipped it upside...

    Fattie Calzone

    I used 1/2 lb of 80% hamburger and 1/2 lb of italian sausage. Squirted some pizza sauce in, then put down some minced garlic. I cooked a few strips of bacon and cut them into pieces and added them to the pile. I then sauteed some onions in the bacon grease, and put on some jarred mushrooms...

    Whats your favorite Bloody Mary mix?

    Zing Zang for sure!!! Never had Red Eye though. Wonder if it's available in Iowa? I use the Zing Zang in my chili. Waaaay better than plain ole' lame tomato juice.

    I got 16 lbs of pork butt going right now in the 34 degree rain I promised pulled pork sandwiches for Xmas eve dinner with the extended family tomorrow night, so I went ahead and battled the elements. I coulda just thrown them in the MES, but tried that once, and the stick burner (at least...

    Good luck calling them!!! See if you can beat my record (think it was 30 or 40 some minutes on hold), before I finally gave up and hung up the phone.

    No BBQ For Me For Awhile

    Over here on the eastern edge of Iowa, we were supposed to get 12". Looks like it's gonna be more like 3 or 4. Not that I'm complaining. Just get tired of the know-nothing weather men predicting the end of the world and then 3 inches of snow.
