Beef Ribs for Dad...Challenge Accepted!
I love beef ribs, almost better than pork !!! Short ribs and even back ribs are amazingly delicious. I like the way you seasoned yours. Great cook Aaron, hope you made the impression you hoped for and made a new convert to beefy deliciousness !!! LIKE -
WSM 18.5 at 350?
Here's a way to use your WSM as a sort of Santa Maria grill, something I have done several times. First ditch the water pan entirely, build a fire out of charcoal and real wood (like a stick burner) and use the middle and top grates as separate 'zones' if you will. To sear or cook something...- troutman

The Classic Pastrami Reuben
OK let's set the record straight. "Corning" beef is a curing process for really any type of meat, but most folks seem to like brisket the best. It involves adding the meat to a salt solution. We also add pink curing salt which does two things, it fights the bot bug and turns the meat that... -
Please give me your recommendations on a new propane grill...
I'd also endorse Weber, the Summit line if you can afford it. Also, an excellent model line that hits almost all of your wish list points is by Napoleon. Again, you're talking $1500+ dollar gassers, but they are the real deal.- troutman

Smoke Ring Conundrum
Funny how people are misinformed about things. I don't even call it a "smoke ring" any longer, I refer it more correctly as the "combustion ring" because that's what forms it, the combustion gases from your cooker. No taste difference, just a little more sex appeal I guess. I still see...- troutman

Seeking advice on improving my brisket cook
All very good advice above, I would not leave anything out. BUT, what I've discovered in cooking many different briskets that there are the two things that I would put great emphasis on (that have been mentioned); 1) Probing and knowing. Brisket well tell you when it's done. Once into the... -
Prime Rib with Grilled Brussels Sprouts
Richie....first of all let me pick up my drooling jaw so I can speak....that prime rib is MONEY. That is probably my favorite cut of meat on the planet and you cooked it perfectly !!! Now for those skewers of Brussels, apples and bacon. I'm stealing that as we speak, it's going on the grill... -

Thanks everyone for the props. I love cooking good food and a variety of meats. I share in the hopes others will explore with me! Thanks again !! -
Whole Ribeye.... now what????
I really have to disagree with the whole conclusion of the so-called meat cutter’s post above. A boneless ribeye as shown in the original post and again in mine above is in fact the stripped down eye. The spinalis dorsi IS NOT the muscle along the bone rather the upper fatty section at the... -
Ribeye (Back to Basics)
I agree with you 100%, SV is marvelous for a lot of things but great, tender steaks aint one of them. You also correctly pointed out why, the deliciousness of grilled and rendered fat. Once again you nailed it!!! LIKE- troutman

Why are pit fireboxes typically offset? Education needed...
Yea Pitts & Spitts (guys I bought my pellet cooker from) sells one. They claim its a great alternative, but of course they would say that. It does take up a smaller footprint then a conventional one but I myself don't see the advantage. Perhaps, like a reverse flow cooker, they can channel...- troutman

A Crowning Achievement
No, actually I'm not that smart !!! :p It was a jar sauce. I see them in the grocery store and buy them for my pantry. I love the combinations they have on the market, goes good with pork !! It's sold at Costco as well, I think it's Robert Rothschild Farms brand. -
Whole Ribeye.... now what????
Sorry to hear you were steered clear of the dry aging process. Yes it does involve giving up some waste (although that so-called "waste" is usable and edible) but the results can be spectacular. I normally go buy a whole boneless ribeye cut from Costco, either choice or even select, and turn... -
A Crowning Achievement
Was going to do a pork crown roast over the Easter holidays, it's just such a fancy, elegant presentation of what are essentially pork chops. Bought two 8 bone center cut pork roasts to build my crown, but never got to it. Those roasts have been staring at me since then so I pulled one of them... -

WSM 22 holding 275°
I agree with the above, the WSM 22 that I have actually likes to run hot, in fact that my biggest complaint about it, having to tone it down. That's why I usually go to my 18 instead, easier fire management for me.- troutman

We get picanha here in out area quite frequently. Of course the cost per pound is closer to $8.00, so getting the whole sirloin is a great way to go. Looks like you did well with the cook !!! LIKE !!!- troutman
