    Time Matters

    When our new Smart Foodservice Warehouse opened a little while ago, I bought a 16 pound strip loin roast, and put it in the freezer. I will cut a couple of steaks off the ends to square it up. How long will it take to thaw a chunk of beef that size in the refrigerator ? For Christmas dinner...

    Previously posted, nothin' left but the memory ! Smoked 1 Wednesday, roasted one Thursday also did a glazed ham. We fed 17 adults and some assorted rug rats, cookie crunchers, and curtain climbers, Everyone brought a side dish or a dessert. Epic meal. The smoked bird disappeared first. Go figure !

    Simple turkey question..

    I did one today, right on the grate. It's a matter of personal taste, but I like the extra flavor that comes from the juices dripping nto the heat shield, and enhancing the flavor and color of the turkey. I make gravy from the neck, giblets and backbone.

    Pre-Slicing ??

    Welcome to the forum ! You spent hours smoking that big, beautiful hunk of meat. Wrap it in Saran wrap ,then foil, and a towel. Take a big cutting board, and a very sharp slicer, and make an impression when you cut and serve that bad boy. =)

    Quick Pork Loin Roast question

    You might consider shaping it a bit and tieing up to a rounder shape to cook a little more evenly. When I do pork for chile verde, I coat it with olive oil, salt, cumin, garlic powder, oregano or just use Sazon Completa. If you have it available locally, Badia brand Sazon Completa is awesome on...

    Getting back up to temp

    I usually preheat about 30 degrees over my target temperature. Get the work done, trimming, rubbing, and all your prep , leave the meat out on the counter while your smoker is coming up to temp. Once you put the meat in the smoker, set the temperature back down to where you want it, and relax...
