    Help—14 lb packer in four hours

    As JJS mentioned, I would suspect probe placement IF you have tested the thermometer and know for a fact it is reasonably close. The probe should be in the center of the thickest part of the brisket and not near the surface of the meat. I would reposition the probe and see if that changes your...

    Creative cooking. Brisket beef stew

    I smoked a Texas style brisket a couple days ago and as usual, had lots of it left over. I usually vac seal and freeze it for meals later, but with the chilly weather, I was ready for some soup or stew. I prefer to cube the beef, toss in seasoned flour, then brown really well in a skillet, but...

    Choosing which type of smoker

    customer service is great, as is the warranty. They have sent just about every replaceable part for mine. board, temp sensor, igniter, etc. My reason for disliking it is the fact it tends to dry out foods on long cooks if precautions are not taken. I have used stick burners for years and still...

    Choosing which type of smoker

    As Jcam mentioned, get yourself an A-Maze-n pellet tube or tray and jump on the Grilla. the tube or tray adds the smokiness you are looking for without being over powering. I am not a huge fan of my GMG grill, but for ease of use, a pellet grill is hard to beat.

    Knives ~ Foamheart

    This one is not yet in my hot little hands, dang it! Had to take pics iff the computer screen, so not the best pics, sorry. I ran into a custom knife maker on Facebook that is based in the United kingdom and had him make me this kitchen knife with a bit of Japanese influence. He sent me a...

    Beef stew comfort food

    LOL! No insult intended there chef-y J. when I walk in to a good eating establishment, I expect "Chef-y", but not in my humble abode. Besides, I don't have the culinary skills to pull off "Chef-y", or even know if I typed it correctly:emoji_laughing: By the way, thanks for the compliment!!

    Beef stew comfort food

    Thanks. Some folks get all "chef-y" and add way mote ingredients than neccessary that to me just muddy the taste of already good food. The beer would be great, but i dislike celery as too much of it and it seems to rob the other flavors, or perhaps it simply overpowers them. My late Mother in...

    Thanks Chile. I might be odd, but a good well browned biscuit just goes fantastic with beef stew.

    Beef stew comfort food

    Not smoked, but still mighty darned tasty! I recently stocked up on beef while it was on sale, so thawed out a hunk of ball roast and diced it up for stew. Pretty much just old fashioned stew without a bunch of modern additions. Just meat, potatoes, onions and a few carrots. I made a big pan of...

    Eye of Round on sale

    They are lean, hence the reason for adding the liquid and wrapping. I would not attemp one otherwise as I am certain it would be very dry. The drippings make an exce3 dipping sauce or gravy to ladle over it and mashed taters. Done that way it is like a pot roast, only smoking makes it better!

    Eye of Round on sale

    very versatile cut of meat. While they make great sammies if cooked med rare, you can smoke them to the pulling stage if desired. I take them to about 160° or so, then place on a rack in a disposable aluminum pan and add my magic elixir of brewed coffee and beef base, cover tightly and cook to...

    New To Pellets, Need Some Advice

    You didn't mention the temps you cooked at, but I am betting the ribs were under cooked rather than over cooked. Invest in a good dual probe remote thermometer as I never trust the cookers probes and like to verify accuracy rather then blindly trusting a reading. It has been my experience that...

    Huge temp difference in Oklahoma Joe Highland

    It is quite normal to have very hot temps right where the firebox opens into the cooking chamber. Most folks either rig or buy a baffle to deflect and even out the heat throughout the chamber to a more manageable level. Most of us simply don't cook on the first third of of the grates by the...

    Chuck Roast Burnt Ends

    I'm with Bear. If you plan to sauce them, wait until you reheat them, then crank up the temp to around 300 to carmelize the sauce before serving

    You are quite welcome. I use Tones beef base and have found it is far better than canned broth or the yucky bullion
