    Over Rated ?...

    With holiday times upon on there's lots of cooking going on. Whether its turkey, hams, prime rib, or some special sea food lobster holiday meal. Im curious what people think are the over rated meals they see people doing all the time. Years ago I would have said turkey. I was always a ham...

    Spots in bacon? Mold?

    My wife opened a pack of thick cut bacon today and there were these black spots on every piece in the same location. Quick search online showed some other people asking about the same spots but couldn't find a definitive answer on what it actually is. Is it mold? Maybe an ink stamp from the...

    Webber kettle question

    Just got my 22" copper kettle today and am doing a little burn in. Used half a chimney of charcoal and threw it in there with vents wide open. Got up to 450 degrees real quick but then I wanted to see if I could get it back down about 250. Closed both, bottom and top vents to about a 1/4...

    Flank steak tacos

    No plans for the 4th but I planned on doing a flank steak today. While my wife was out grocery shopping I decided tacos sounded good so I had her pick up some peppers and tortillas. Turned out phenomenal. Super tender flank steak.

    Room temp steak...

    When grilling steaks why do people let it sit out to room temp first? Not sure if it differs from charcoal grill to pellet grill but I much prefer to take my steak out and season it up and put it back in the fridge until the pellet grill is ready for it. Straight from fridge to grill. I've tried...

    Pulled some salmon out the freezer to smoke up the other night. Did my usual brown sugar/salt brine over night. Rinsed off this morning and put back in the fridge for a few hours to form the pellicle. After that was done I busted out the big chief and smoked with alder chips. When the fish was...

    First brisket point.

    At Costco last week picking up some stuff I noticed 1 packaged prime brisket point. I've never seen just the point for sale there but it is my favorite part. Being only $20 I figured WTH and grabbed it. Tried this one a bit different. Smoked for 5 hours and didnt touch it. Brought it in and...

    Butchers twine and high heat question

    my wife picked up a rib roast from safeway and the bones were cut off and tied back on. This will be my first time doing one of these. My question is will the sear box on my camp chef burn through the twine? It gets 900 degrees or so. My plan is to smoke it at 225 and once internal hits around...
