The last of the fancy holiday meat orders from my favorite local butcher. The tenderloin was 2.01 pounds. I seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder and put it in the fridge for 3 hours. I debated sous viding but decided to throw it on the smoker. I kept the...
For christmas day:
6.56 LBS, two pounds larger than last year's 3 bone. I seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder about 24 hours ahead and rested in a cooler. Smoked at 180 degrees, that was slowly increased to 245 to ensure we ate at the kid's ideal dinner time on the...

I cooked a Costco 17lb prime brisket packer yesterday ($3.89 lb in Cleveland) that I trimmed around 3 lbs of fat off of. I put in it around 1 pm and it was at 199 and butter-soft at 2 am. I was expecting it to be done around 7 am. I wrapped it in butcher paper and put it into a yeti with...
In Ohio, it has been lots of rain and wind lately so no smoking. It was nice this weekend been active on the smoker. Did two racks of ribs to compare a new butcher and local grocery store with corn on the cob for dinner Saturday. 3 - 2- 1 method with new rub recipe. Butchers ribs won the rib...

a repeat of my favorite meal in 2021 (https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/21-day-dry-aged-grass-fed-strip-loin-roast-half.312394/) but with a whole roast vs last years half. I thought this would take longer to cook which does not seem to be the case
6.74 LB 21 day dry aged grass fed...
seasoned with katz mustard and jeff's rub. This is the other half of a costco pork butt so will compare to the MES version. I put it on last night at 8pm at 200. Increased to 225 four hours in and a light ACV sprits. Other photo is 11 hours in. My concern is there is nowhere to as close to as...
I want to start considering an upgrade from my MES 30 as going into year 7. My goals are more surface area for cooks, higher temps for chicken/duck, and fewer battles with amazen trays/tubes going out or too much airflow. Focusing on pellet grills for now. TBD if will be an apartment that may...
Costco had pork shoulder for $1.99 a lb. So I bought a 14lb that was two pieces. smoked one and froze the other half. Using the mes and amazen tray/tubes, Katz mustard rub and Jeff's rub. Wrapped at 11.5 hours in butcher paper that was put back into the MES at 275. Currently at 166 and 175...
This will be my second duck I have smoked. While it is a decent amount of work, the amount of duck fat you get makes it worth it in my opinion. Was $22.39 for a 5.98lb Duck so $3.74 a lb. The plan is to smoke the duck, save all the fat and make duck broth from the bones.
Defrosted frozen...
Was gifted this beautiful piece of meat.
I am not planning on smoking and requesting any cooking tips. I am leaning towards seasoning with just salt 2 hours before cooking. Making the cast iron extremely hot, using a little beef fat to greese the pan. Slicing thin and the Pan frying with...
