    Boneless short ribs - including QView

    Pic before putting them in the smoker. On the right is my SPOG+chile rub, left and center are a commercial Santa Maria tri-tip seasoning blend. Braising liquid: homebrewed imperial milk stout. I decided to foil and braise all three of them. Foiled at IT of 145, they're at 154 now with a...

    Boneless short ribs - including QView

    Picked these up at Costco. Never done short ribs. Since there are basically three unique pieces of meat there, I think I can do a few preparations. One will be smoked with my SPOG+chile rub, for sure. But I'm not sure about the other two. Was thinking of smoking the other for a while but then...

    First Tri-Tip

    Look up Jaccard meat tenderizers. It's a small tool with a whole bunch of very thin blades, which is pushed into the meat to sever bits of connective tissue. By doing this, it makes the meat more tender. The problem is twofold: 1) Bacteria can live on the surface of meat. This bacteria is...

    First Tri-Tip

    Learned a downside to shopping for tri-tip at Costco. They blade-tenderize the meat. So I had to cook it to an IT of about 160 deg, which is WAY hotter than tri-tip should go. As much as I like Costco meats, I will not be buying tri-tip there any longer -- time to go to the butcher for it. Not...

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    I've been having trouble with smoke generation since getting the XL40 this summer. I ordered it with the 8" cast-iron pan from amazon based upon all the recommendations and user experience. But I kept having trouble keeping smoke generating when it was down at 225 degrees. For my smoker, I have...

    First Tri-Tip

    Thanks everyone... driedstick, I might normally crank up the temp, but since they'll be sitting in the smoker with some ribs, it's 225 for both. Venture, I think I may end up doing both of them, which means I can do one a bit on the north side of medium, and one medium rare for those of us who...
