    First time smoked rib roast

    Cooking for others does bring into focus possible preferences to be aware of. However, there is a trick to solve the Prime Rib doneness concern. If someone in the group does not like red or pink meat, take their cut and quickly dip it in au jus. The red/pink will be gone. If you're not making...

    Bitter Tasting Turkey

    Definitely with Chis, it's way too easy to oversmoke a bird. As a result my preferred way these days is to spin the bird on my grill with a smoke tube full of pellets. Two advantages, the bird bastes itself at a higher temp which produces excellent crispy golden skin and the amount of smoke is...

    Travel with a prime rib….

    It comes down to how everyone prefers their prime rib. We're a bit more towards medium but still what many would consider the med-rare side. So, take the IT to 127º, immediately dbl wrap in alum foil plus heavy towel then into a cooler. The carry over should take it to around 132º before...

    Traeger Ran Out of Pellets (Brisket)

    So you're saying the IT got to 165º then dropped 20º before it got back into the oven? If it's a whole packer, I'm going to say it will be fine.

    Frozen Boston Butt

    Hmm...dbl wrapped in butcher paper and frozen for 1 year. If this is for a Christmas Eve dinner, why even take a chance for such an event? Go get a fresh butt to smoke.

    Power Out for last 4 days...

    Talk about timing David. Whew, you got the Genny up and running when you most needed it. Being in God's Country does have its benefits but unfortunately there are a few bumps that come along with the experience. Glad to hear the outage went reasonably well. Assuming you've got clear access...

    Christmas Plans

    We always do our special meal on Xmas Eve. This year we're going Brazilian with two Wagyu Picanhas sliced with the grain salt & peppered then rubbed down with Refogado. Skewered into half rounds and grilled to med-rare. Salad with palm hearts, the obligatory baked potato and of course a very...

    Traeger 572. Dead to the world

    Read way to many complaints coming from various Traeger owners over the years. Do feel sorry your's went dark though. Definitely agree with David, put your hard earned money into something with known quality, i.e. Rec Teq. I have yet to read negative results from the RT owners here on SMF, of...

    Brisket safe zone

    You are fine to reheat it. Got to second what @normanaj said, and can't stress enough the importance of ensuring all temp monitoring gear is sufficiently charged and tested before embarking on an overnight smoke. BTW: that includes a cell phone if used via an app. including setting it so the app...

    Cold Weather Pellet Smoking

    I smoke all year round, and it sometimes drops below 0º here in Indiana. Yup pellet consumption is more but the end results are the same 😉
