    Brisket processing and the end result updated 1/2/14

    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe that the brisket isn't actually individually graded. If you get a Choice brisket, it means it's from a cow that was graded Choice in the rib section. That *should* correlate somewhat to the brisket muscle, but there can be variance. This...

    Smokin-It! Prime Rib for Christmas

    I just did this, but separated the bones up front. And since my wife doesn't like med-rare anyway, I portioned the rest into steaks. My goal was simply to have some nice meaty beef back ribs one day... They're ready whenever I am!

    PRIME RIB (New Best Ever!!!)

    Sorry, I wasn't clear. I put the meat in the smoker for a while (a few hours, if it's a butt or brisket) to kill off any surface baddies. I then put the probe in the smoker not in the meat for about 15-30 minutes. After the surface of the meat AND the probe have both been in the smoker long...

    PRIME RIB (New Best Ever!!!)

    I've generally assumed that if I leave the probe sitting in the smoker at 225 deg for at least 30 min before inserting it, I probably don't need to worry about sterilizing the probe. Am I missing something?

    ShopRite $4.99 choice rib and grass fed ribeye roasts, 18-24 Dec.

    Bought another from Ralph's. This one was ~11 lbs. I went with a bone-in again, still to make steaks, even though boneless was only an extra dollar per lb. I'm actually going to cut away a slab of beef back ribs off this roast (looks like about a 4-bone or maybe 5-bone roast) with a fair amount...

    My First Brisket!! (W/Q-View)

    What grade of meat were you working with?

    My first fatty also

    Did you saute and cook down the green onion and mushrooms, or put them in raw?

    My First Brisket!! (W/Q-View)

    The foil helps to avoid/minimize the stall. The stall is caused by evaporative cooling, and foiling stops the evaporation. Between that and the 275 rather than 225, you can see why it finished basically in <6 hours rather than 8-9 hours... Still waiting for that QView ;-)

    ShopRite $4.99 choice rib and grass fed ribeye roasts, 18-24 Dec.

    Out here on the west coast, Ralph's is doing Choice bone-in rib eye roasts for $4.88/lb. I picked up one a 5.94 lb.  The wife doesn't care much for prime rib / ribeye due to fat content, and generally doesn't like steaks at the same medium rare temps I like them... So I decided I'm probably...
