    Moose "Chili"

    In my family this is considered Chili, for many it is not. I loosely follow this recipe by @Sowsage every single time I cook chili now. The preparation always results in a fantastic meal. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/chili-but-not-chili.301606/ I cut up 5 small green bell peppers...

    First shot at a Tomahawk

    Never done one, but seeing as its just a thick cut ribeye with the full bone still on I figure it cant be that hard! Finally able to as my wife delivered our first baby boy on June 9th and we can get back to eating rare meat again! Trimmed off any silverskin and most of the fat cap to let the...

    Surf and Turf, Backstrap and Crab Cakes on the Griddle

    With my fiancee coming home from six days away at work I decided to cook up a little surf and turf! Backstrap is from a Mule Deer she shot the other year, crab cakes were made with some frozen Dungeness Crab we had in the freezer. Paired with some grilled Leeks and an ear of Corn we split...

    Second attempt at a Brisket

    My first attempt I separated the point from the flat half way through the cook and turned the point into burnt ends. This go around I dug out one I've had in the freezer for a bit that came with the last half a cow we got. Lots of fat that needed trimmed, but a good looking piece of meat. I...

    Venison Burger Phillies on the Griddle

    I've been doing a lot of cooking on the griddle as of late, its just fast, easy, and cleanup is a breeze. I actually dont believe I've even used the stove top since we got this thing! With the Fiancee out of town on work for the next 6 weeks (only coming home one day on the weekend) I am...

    Flank Steak Phillies on the New Griddle

    So I've been wanting a griddle for some time now and Walmart was having an amazing sale on the Blackstone 4-burner 36" dropped to $120 from $240. Unfortunately they sold out of them all before I could get there. Not discouraged, while I was fishing a bass tournament with a buddy my Fiancee...

    First brisket, point, flat, burnt ends questions

    So digging through the archives here I've come across various ways to do a brisket and think I've landed on my recipe. I have a 9.5lb Choice Packer that was given to me by a buddy to do up. I plan on cooking it with a hot and fast method and making burnt ends from the point. Plan is to trim...

    Scored an 18" WSM, let the learning begin!

    So I had always planned on adding a WSM to my arsenal, but couldnt pull the trigger due to price for the time being. I needed a new charcoal grill and decides to get myself a 22" kettle owing to all the rave reviews. I decided to check craigslist on the off chance I could get one cheaper and...

    Prime Rib, just because!

    With this quarantine I've been digging through the freezer finding things to cook up. So far this week we've had beef chuck short ribs and then amassive tri-tip. I found this prime I always forget I have and figured might as well do it up for some friends! Trimmed the fat cap and silverskin off...

    Smoked Kokanee

    Well the Fiancee had a Friday off and went with a co-worker to do a little Kokanee fishing, she ended up bringing 18 of them the little guys home! Perfect opportunity to try smoking fish for the first time. After cleaning all the slimy buggers they got dropped in a marinade of Lawrys Teriyaki...

    First shot at a rack of Lamb!

    After seeing this post https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/herb-crusted-rack-of-lamb-first-try.293181/ I decided it was time to try some Lamb. I hadnt had it since I was a kid and dont remember it being one of my favorites. My fiancee had never had it before so the experiment was on! I...

    Beef shorties

    Our local Fred Meyer seems to never have these during the summer so I made sure to pick some up when I saw them. They pull the usual trick, two meaty ones out front, two smaller fatty ones tucked behind the sticker. I chose the best I could and combined two packs for this cook. 225* for 5hrs...

    Traeger Pro 22 temp swings/accuracy

    I have had a pro 22 for a few years now and it has been a good cooker. I have noticed all my cooks seem to get done quicker than what most people say it should on this forum and other places on the net. I recently got an Inkbird monitor and have noticed some insane temp swings. I know its...

    So I bought a rack of Lamb...

    After seeing all the racks on here and not having had lamb since I was a kid I got inspired to pick a rack up. I think I'm going to do an herb paste as that looks fantastic. My main question is temp and time. I remember as a kid lamb being a little gamey so not sure if I will like it now as an...

    So thanks to many members here I did a successful first smoke of wings. I prepper them at 10am but dring them, applying a light coat of baking powder and then seasoning. One set of wings got Yardbird and the other got Traegers Saskatchewan seasoning. They rested in the fridge uncovered until 5...

    Dry Rub Wing Prep Questions!

    First time doing wings on the Traeger. Been doing a lot of reading here and it seems the general consensus is to dry them good, rub em down (or marinade) and let them sit in the fridge for a bit. I will be doing a no sauce dry rub, planning on one group using Yardbird and another group a...

    Need a new vacuum sealer

    I had the Foodsaver Costco model FM 5200 and threw it away the other night. I could never get it to vacuum when I wanted it to. The push bar never really worked and you could sit there for 5 minutes trying to get it to vacuum one bag. Two people made it easier, but still a chore. It also...

    Butt and Burnt Ends Sunday

    9lb butt put on at 8:00am. Wrapped up at 140* with apple juice, butter, and honey. Off to rest at 3:00pm with a 203-205 temp. 3.5lbs of belly cut up and rubbed down, ran next to the butt for 2.5hrs then sauced and back on. They're just about finished. Used Pitboss Sweet Heat Rub on the butt and...
