    Beef Clod

    so...I did an event for the 4th for my church and mainly did pulled pork shoulder/butt...about 75lbs. I was looking for an inexpensive beef option and have noticed both the beef clod and beef chuck roll at the Costco business center. The Clod's were supposed to be 32lb average, but they had a...

    Pulled Pork wrap/hold

    Morning all...happy Labor Day! I've been asked to do pulled pork for a group of about 100. I've done some other large cooks before, but it's always been beef ribs or brisket. The nice thing about beef is that I can wrap/hold in a cooler for one to six hours, so I have a pretty big target...

    commodity Beef and/or Pork

    I was looking at the Costco business site (I have one near my house) and they rate meat prime, choice, etc., but then they also have "commodity beef"...does anyone know the quality of this meat?

    19lb full packer in 12 hours

    I've seen several posts about time for a brisket...hours per lb, etc. I smoke at 240 and try for an internal temp of at least 195 and then I wrap. Last weekend I put a 19lb brisket on at 10pm thinking it would get done sometime mid afternoon the next day (like always) and then wrap for a few...

    Best Sauce for Pulled Pork

    Spare Ribs

    So...I used to make ribs all the time, but lately have been experimenting with other stuff...mainly sous vide and beef ribs and/or chicken thighs and prime rib over the holiday's. So, tonight my family asked me to make some ribs "like I used to". 240 degrees, Germantown Commissary rub, 4 hours...

    Visit to Costco Today

    So...I stopped into Costco today to talk to the butcher to make sure I could get some beef ribs to pick up on Friday. While I was there, I noticed they had a ton of beef items that were probably there for the Holiday's. I've included a couple of shots of some truly man food... If you look...

    Saturday Experiment - Pork Belly

    Ok...so, I kept seeing pork belly's on here, so I thought I would try it again. The first time I tried was a C-...tasted good, but just not melt in your mouth. This time, I tried something different. I cubed the belly but, I didn't put any rub on it. Smoked @240 for three hours and then I...

    Lillie Q's Turkey

    I think Lillie Q's (BBQ in Chicago) has a great black/white Q-rub (referenced below) and their white (Ivory) and yellow (Carolina Gold) sauce is the best I've ever had. I'm on their mailing list and they sent out this basic smoked Turkey recipe...thought I would share since it seems like a good...

    60lbs of Beef Short Ribs

    So...a year ago my wife let me get my dream smoker. Much bigger than I needed, too expensive and completely impractical...it's seriously awesome. The neighborhood decided to have a get together. I volunteered to BBQ the meat. My neighbor is a meat buyer and picked up a 60lb case of beef...
