    Bulgogi inspired injected tri tip

    Looks great, I'll have to steal that idea.  Try using asian pear for some of the sweetness and you'll really nail that Korean taste.  If you want it solely for injection, I saw someone use asian pear cider in place of grated pear.  Koreans use the pear for a tenderizer, but it's kind of a...

    Traeger or GMG?

    I hope you got your Rectec mini off of Rectec's website.  Shipping is $99 on Rectec's site and $199 off of Amazon.  Your unit should only cost $600, not $700.  Also, no tax.

    My First UDS Build, In England

    That looks great.  Good job.  As far as the thermometer goes, if you're going to take all the tips and recipes off this site, you might want to just stick with fahrenheit.  It's cheaper that way, too.

    Mother's Day pork butt on the mini

    Pork butt doesn't have to cook till pullable state.  It also tastes good sliced.  It is an incredibly forgiving piece of meat.  It might be tender enough to slice now and then she won't have to go hungry.

    Pastrami - Success or Failure?

    195, no matter what?  Do you use a slicer?  I used a carving knife, but there's only so thin that you can go with that.

    Pastrami - Success or Failure?

    I don't know if he'll come through, the guy seems a bit flaky.  I haven't seen it in person, yet.  Looks like he has only one rack, I'd like to have two.  The basket is pretty tall, looks like no ash catcher.  It has three ball bearing valves, and it looks like he rests a water pan on the...

    Smoked Turkey, Just Because.

    Looks delicious. Do you have any sliced shots? If I ever get my UDS, I want to try a spatchcocked turkey in it. It looks like it would have to be more like a 10-12 pounder in that case though.

    Smoked Turkey, Just Because.

    Looking good, did you go with a high heat roast?

    Pastrami - Success or Failure?

    Thanks, that's a good tip. Cause it really felt like the connective tissue hadn't melted, yet. I'm just going to cook it till it is done next time. Oh, timber. I found a used UDS for 150, hope to talk him down some. I wouldn't have the pride of building it, but sourcing a barrel has been...

    Traeger Jr. Heat Shield?

    So I found out that the other traeger grills have heat shields, but the Jr. doesn't. I have added bricks to my Jr and my next mod is a gasket, but has anyone tried adding a heat shield? I see that pellet accessories makes one, though it is a bit astronomically priced. I tried doing a search...

    Pastrami - Success or Failure?

    It never got tender enough with the toothpick, but I was scared to go over 207 internal temp. However, this is a new probe and I didn't test it for accuracy. Are Mavericks ever known to be off? I caught my son's flu the next day, so the thought of pastrami kind of makes me a bit nauscious. I...

    Camp Chef PG24LS Pellet Grill Smoker

    Stop talking about it. You guys are making me regret not buying it 128540. It was a really good deal. I am going to try to make my traeger jr work though. I added 6 bricks under the heat shield and the gasket will be next. It is already working better. I think both mods will work well on...

    Traeger vs Louisiana

    Th 640 isn't a bad deal at all if you live near somewhere where you can pick it up.  It's not much more than a Rectec, if you can do that.  I'm not sure if your drive counts on the saving money front though.  Hopefully you had something else to do in the area.

    Camp Chef PG24LS Pellet Grill Smoker

    I saw that deal on woot.com. I was pretty tempted. It will definitely be an improvement over my Traeger jr in the size department. It also has a nice big hopper, and it doesn't look like it will have the tunneling issue that my traeger has. Someone on here has one and enjoys it.

    Traeger vs Louisiana

    It's too bad you missed the Camp Chef pellet grill deal on woot.com, yesterday.  They were selling it for 380.

    First pulled pork in new smoker today!

    Looks like you nailed it. The price on that unit is tempting. It seems to be much improved from my old MES.

    Great work.  Are you going to be catering with this thing?

    Pastrami - Success or Failure?

    Ellymae, It never really got tender, unless I missed it between 195 and 205. Could I have overlooked it between then? Or did not all of the collagen melt? I can try steaming the leftovers, but I am worried about my upcoming brisket cook. Everyone, Thanks for the kind compliments.

    Pastrami - Success or Failure?

    Thanks.  Jeff's website says some people cook it to 170 and then steam it.  He does his all on the BBQ, like a brisket, then chills it to cut.  I cut mine after a 45 minute hold in the cooler, like a brisket.  It was east to slice because it was still firm.  You think steaming it now will work...
