    Smoked Pork Belly Pizza w/Hot Honey

    Actually is spicy honey. Just a cup of honey heated up with 2-3 tbsp red pepper flakes. Let sit for 15min or so to infuse. Add 1 tbsp of cider vinegar mix and strain out flakes.

    Smoked Pork Belly Pizza w/Hot Honey

    I smoked a whole pork belly over Memorial Day weekend. I vacuumed and froze half of it in 2 1/4’s. Pulled one out earlier this week and decided to get creative. Made this pizza with some of the smoked belly, sweet Italian sausage, fresh shredded Mozz, thin sliced jalapeños and topped it off with...

    Pastrami ?s

    It was great! Took it to about 205 prove tender. Let it rest about an hour then into a cooler for 2hrs. Sliced well and was tender easy pull apart but felt firm?? Made some pastrami with mustard and also Reuben’s with it.

    Pastrami ?s

    Correct full packer, already corned, seasoned and in raw state. My concern was the amount of fat that was pre trimmed off the flat. Should I not stress about that and follow the normal brisket cook method I usually do or something else.

    Pastrami ?s

    I purchased a whole pastrami brisket from a meat packing company in Chicago that I regularly get meat from. It is about 16lb, already seasoned, and smoker ready. Thing is, it looks like a lot of fat on the flat is trimmed off already. Not sure if this is common practice but don’t want it to dry...

    Thawed Turkey 2 or 4 days?

    I’m new to the Turkey game. I got 6 15-16lb frozen Turkeys to smoke for our church Thanksgiving this Sunday. I pulled them out last Sunday to thaw. Checked in them Wednesday and they seemed to be almost thawed already. Been seeing they are only good for a short time after thawing. Some say 2...

    Thoughts on 6 birds for church

    Thanks! I’ll be using the rec teq bfg so my thoughts were to run lo for 30-60min to get some smoke then crank it up to 275-300. I do have a large cooler that might fit them if I spatchcock. I’m sure people will love it either way but when you are cooking something you don’t do a lot for a...

    Thoughts on 6 birds for church

    Doing 6 turkeys ~15-16 lbs each for our church Thanksgiving dinner. I believe they have 9% solution in them. I don't think I have the containers or space to brine them. I do plan on spatchcocking them and putting pads of butter under the skin the help aid in not drying out. I have only done a...

    Sunday Church Picnic

    It’s been a while since I posted anything… so here it goes. Got a case of butts from GFS for a church picnic. 8 of them totaling 73lbs. Fed 80+ people no problem, with plenty left over. (We planned for 125 just to be safe) Started at 6pm last night with LJ hickory and a few tubes. Started on LO...

    White streaks in grates??

    Thanks for the tip. I do brush them off with the brush I got from rec req. I guess I just need to do a better job. Any tips on keeping these cleaner, the rails in the racks are pretty big and not a lot of room to get between them.

    White streaks in grates??

    Thanks! I can do a burn off next Friday or Saturday. If it was mold I just didn’t want to set it to LO on Saturday night and then put food on it.

    White streaks in grates??

    Maybe an odd question, but I haven’t used my BFG in about 6weeks… I was getting it ready for a bigger cook I’m doing next weekend for the big game. I have seen these white spots/streaks in my grates before and but not to this extent, just thought it was from hot spots. Anyone know for certain...

    How long should 1.25 cu ft wood last?

    Yeah the seller I was looking at specifically gave the 4’ x 8’ measurement 16” long for a face cord.

    How long should 1.25 cu ft wood last?

    Also good to know it will last about a year or more for ~$200 in wood.
