    Belly buster Brisket! With Q view

    Thanks everyone. I am freezing some of the left over brisket to enjoy later. On to smoked meatloaf and pork belly burnt ends next. I was in Sam's club today and found a fairly lean (as pork bellies go anyway;-) 4 pound pork belly. I have had them elsewhere before, but never made them myself...

    two butts, and three flats....

    Try grinding some Rosemary leaves in a spice/coffee grinder and add to your favorite rub. Rosemary imparts a wonderful flavor to pork, but don't over do it! I grow my own, dry and vac seal for future use

    Belly buster Brisket! With Q view

    Thank you. Unfortunately yes on the decaf. A year ago last Christmas I ended up in the cardiovascular ward and the Dr said one issue was strong coffee, and too much of it :-( decaf took some getting used to, but it is better than giving up coffee completely

    Belly buster Brisket! With Q view

    Try beef base instead of bullion for a beefier flavor. I have used bullion and the base is so much better. I start with a couple of well rounded tablespoons of it, then brew 16 to 18 ounces of coffee to disolve it with just before putting the brisket in a disposable pan at 150-160 degrees IT. I...

    Over here in Sacramento, CA

    Welcome to SMF from Missouri. The Wife and I spent 20 years in Modesto and glad to be out of that gang and crime infested place. I'm sure you have had ribs before that you really liked, so try to duplicate those. Some folks like "sticky" ribs slathered in sauce, while many like 'em Memphis...

    Thank you Chili! Since my wife passed last December I have not felt up to cooking like I used to. Just me now, so a big hunk of meat will make many meals.

    Belly buster Brisket! With Q view

    One of the best I have made on the GMG! The new thermal sensor made a big difference in the way it cooks, so i suspect the original was wacky from day one. I had been disappointed in the results of long cooks, so mosty did pork steaks and such in it. When i did brisket or butts, i started them...

    Brisket flat in the Copperhead 5

    Looks like a great start! I have a whole packer in the GMG as we speak. Been thinking I might try to pick up a Copperhead this fall if I can find one on clearance. Thanks for posting your methods for using yours

    Smoke issues

    Pellet smokers are notorious for not creating a very smokey flavor, especially at much over 180° or so as the pellets burn too clean at higher temps. Nearly everyone uses a tube or tray to burn extra pellets to increase the flavor, and most choose A-Maze-N products

    Cutting into pork butt smells terrible - is that normal?

    I'm with Chef JimmyJ on the rotten meat. Did it have a smell when you opened the package? Did you check the "sell by" dates, or was it in your freezer? What temp did you cook it at, and were there any issues while smoking it, like a power outage or the fire went out for an extended period...

    Killer pork steaks on the GMG Daniel Boone

    Thanks. I have smoked a bunch of these and played around a lot with which IT I liked them best all the way from 155 to 195°. 160 or a bit under is great for loin or chops, but pork steaks have a good bit of fat that is not pleasant (at least to me) unless it is rendered some, which it does not...

    Killer pork steaks on the GMG Daniel Boone

    Thanks.. I used a rub from my friend who owns a fantastic BBQ place in Branson, MO. I used to use Jeff's rub all the time, but I think this has it beat and I love the color it gives pork! I cooked these at 250 until the IT hit 180°. This renders a good bit of the fat and they are still juicy...

    Killer pork steaks on the GMG Daniel Boone

    A couple of weeks ago the thermal sensor died on my GMG for no apparent reason. Still under warranty, so I e mailed support and they got the part in the mail the next day. Only problem was they shipped an igniter insted of a thermal sensor. I e mailed them again and they shipped the right...

    Great looking food! Keep us posted on the cooks on that beauty! Did you have a pellet grill before to compare the food with the Yoder? I want one so bad, but is not in the budget:-(

    GMG Daniel Boone issue. Anyone experencied this?

    GMG mailed a new part out pronto, but when I went to install it today, I discovered they had shipped an igniter instead of a thermal sensor :-( I e mailed them at 5:58 pm and had a reply back by 6:02!!! They apologized and are shipping the sensor asap and told me to keep the igniter.

    Looking for Smoked Pork Chop Suggestions

    Chops are very lean, so I prefer pork steaks for smoking. I season with rub, fire up the smoker and cook to about 180° IT so the fat renders some and they get tender. Kind of like a thin mini butt
