    Roast beef for Christmas dinner - need some help

    The problem with roasting beef and then attempting to reheat is you are going to probably end up overcooking it. Roast beef is best served at medium or medium rare, from 140 - 120 degrees. You are on the right track with starting at a higher temp then lowering to 225. Using that method, a 3-4...

    Smoking 4 Turkeys in a BB GOSM

    You are awesome for doing the donation thing! I would move them around a bit at least once during cooking to ensure you don't have one stuck in a hot spot. I would also be careful with the weight. I would not trust 30 lbs on a single shelf in my newer Brinkmann, but would in my older one.

    1st Spare Ribs a Success!!!

    Good looking stuff. You'll love the addition of brown sugar. I use a spicy rub and then pack brown sugar over the top of it. The brown sugar will start to melt into the rub before it even gets into the smoker and it makes an excellent glaze.

    Help save my butt!

    As for your questions regarding the fat, You can certainly trim some off before smoking. What I like to do is score the fat cap and leave it on. This way the fat can keep basting the meat as it melts. In the end, it comes right off with your hands anyways and is easy to discard or reserve some...

    Roast beef for Christmas dinner - need some help

    Slow cooking tender, delicate cuts of beef will only make them mushy. That advice given to you is true. As for the Rump roast, Grandma's advice is great, especially if you plan to slow cook it. I started this response with the intent of giving some advice, but the more I think about it, you...

    Vinegar & Pepper Finishing Sauce for pulled pork

    First, let me say that these measurements are very approximate. I start off with a 4 cup measuring cup and just add ingredients as I go, in the order listed. At the end, I'll pour it into a small pot to simmer. Feel free to use this recipe as a guide as you establish your own favorite finishing...

    Brisket this Christmas Eve

    I'm by no means a brisket expert, but most of knowing how to smoke a great brisket goes into knowing how to buy one. Look for a fat cap that is about 1/4" - 1/2" thick. Also look at the marbling of the meat. The greater the marbling, the better the flavor and tenderness. You can also try...

    Sundays smoke didnt go as planed.

    That sucks to have been called into work AND run out of gas. I noticed something in your picture of the smoker that kind of alarmed me. I don't know that there is need or cause for alarm, but in my opinion, when packing a smoker with different meats, I learned that poultry should always go on...
