    foil packet - directly on charcoal?

    Heavy duty foil can sit directly on coals without problems.  It will turn brown/black after a while.  The only thing to worry about is light weight foil with open flames.  Light weight foil will catch fire if exposed to open flames and if it is hot enough.

    Brisket questions

    Usually around 200F is the temp to pull a brisket - but the best test is the toothpick test - if a toothpick goes into the meat with almost no resistance, it is ready. Wrapping and resting the meat allows the juices to re-absorb into the meat - otherwise, as you cut into it - you get lots of...

    YOU GUYS ARE SWAMPING ME

    If you have ever driven by a commercial ocean salt operation - they are typically not the cleanest of operations.  Typically, they have large open areas below the level of the ocean/bay they are located at.  They open dikes to let the sea water in.  They then add iodine (usually) making these...

    Back ribs from costco

    The baby back ribs sold at Costo under the Swift Premium Brand already have the membrane removed!  Sometime, several years ago - this switched and all of a sudden, I started having the same problems removing the membrane.  I thought I had just lost it - till I talked to one of the butchers there...

    pulled pork question please help.....

    Then I really recommend the zip lock or vacuum bags and then reheat it by putting the bag in a hot water bath.  Reheats without letting any moisture escape.  Only downside is that any crusty bark gets softened.

    pulled pork question please help.....

    Are you putting it into the Nesco whole, or after you pull it?  How long are you talking about between taking it out of the smoker and serving it? I also use the foil wrap, towel and cooler approach to let it rest and re-absorb the juices.  Then, I pull it and mix in any drip pan juices and...

    Firsts "smoke" on Char-Griller pellet smoker

    Looks good. You should get a lot of good food out of a pellet smoker.  I got one close to 2 years ago after 10+ years on a stick burner.  I still get a stronger smoke flavor out of the stick burner, but the ease and convenience of the pellet smoker makes it so much easier to cook that I use it...

    Crispy chicken skin - not how, but when?

    Oiling the outside of the skin can actually contribute to it retaining moisture  and rubbery skin.  One trick I have used is to spread some butter (usually mixed with some finely minced herbs) UNDER the skin, while keeping the outside as dry as possible.  Separating the skin allows heated air to...

    record keeping app

    I use the Pit Pal on my phone.  It has some limitations, but let's you define as many different foods as you like for a single cook, define pit target temp, and capture and track meat temps as you go (you can manually enter the meat temps and pit temp as often as you like.  You click a button...

    Wood bark

    The Bark layer on any wood is where most of the flavor of the smoke comes from.  If you every try using clean hardwoods, you won't get that strong of a flavor! I have both a stick burner and a pellet smoker and love them both.  When I first got my pellet smoker, I noticed that I got great smoke...

    Mexican fattys

    Nice combination of ingredients - I'm going to have to try this in the near future.  I'll probably use New Mexico Hatch Green chilis instead of Anaheims.
