Corned beef on sale, so I take advantage of it! On the docket is traditional corned beef, corned beef jerky. I trim the fat off the flat and clean edges for jerky. The trimming are used for the hash. So here we go. I don’t know how to do pics and then add comments so pics are at the end.

Bought 2 Costco pork loins on sale. Did a wet brine - Pops brine
Miscalculations:
1 Do to work schedule had to leave in brine 2 days longer than I wanted. So had to soak in 24 hrs to remove salt.
2 because of the extra day temps outside went from 24 degrees to 2 :)
Smoked at 180 for 1 hour
225...
Was in Wittenberg today and stopped at Neuske’s. People from WI know Neuske’s, their famous for their bacon and of course marketing and service.
Anyhow picked up some pork chops and threw them on the Recteq Bullseye with some squash from the garden. The accountants father used to get them...
So I did a bunch of cooks to take advantage of crummy weather. I was able to cook and freeze a bunch of pork in meal size portions. Two of the three packages had the rotten egg smell. I have heard of this but never experienced it before. All the pork was Smithfield from Costco. Is this common...
Had some mud bugs in MS this week. Good eats for sure! About half way through the local guy we were with was throwing several away. Hmmm, so ask why you throwing those away. He said the ones with straight tails were dead before being thrown into the pot. Next day different guy at work said that...
Made Sweet potato hash this morning. Did not get many prep pics since I didn’t know what to expect. Once I started cooking I regretted not many pics. So here goes:
Fried up some bacon and chopped it up, sautéed onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Added cubed sweet potato and Jeff’s rub. Put in...
I have a two year old Inkbird 4 probe unit. It is now out of warranty. I have 1 meat temp probe and the pit temp probe not working. Looking for a more robust probe that fits the Inkbird. Does anyone have any recommendations.
I have not had good chicken leg quarters since I lived in NC. We used to get them all the time from local church fundraisers. Anyhow I saw them on sale and had to give them a try. Added some grilled corn and salad.
Corn was coated with olive oil and Mad Dog and Merrill Healthy Harvest rub. On...
Yesterday was a busy cook day. Had both pellet grills going and several pieces of CI cookware in action. I would say this is first real chili I have made. In the past it was meat and cans of chili bean😃.
This inspired by several of the posts on this site. Thanks to all who have shared recipes...
With St Paddy's day around the corner. I will be making a few batches of corned beef jerky. If you haven't done this I highly recommend it. Just slice it and smoke it or dehydrate it like normal.
Adding technique
sliced at 1/4"
2 lb smoked as is
1 lb with the seasoning packet on it
1 lb went...
So I did Poor Mans Burnt Ends. But I couldn't decide which method to use. So I did them 2 ways:
Number 1 Malcolm Reed Method
Chunk up the chuck roast and seasoned with Jeff's Texas rub. Put on a grill mat on top rack of Rectec. Smoked for 2 hours at 225, then put into a corning ware with BBQ...
So I was cleaning up and sorting through wife's nice collection of kitchen stuff (S@#$) in the basement, when I stumbled upon the three CI pans shown in the attached photos. So I ask where did these come from and the reply was "Oh I forgot about those. I found the at a garage sale a few years...
In the market for a new cutting board with a juice groove. The old board has a few splits and leaks through. I would want larger enough for carving briskets and turkeys.
Found some beef end ribs on sale, so decided to give them a try. Combined with some red and yellow ABTs and a sweet potato.
Put Traeger coffee rub on the ribs about 5 hours before cooking. Cooked on Recteq pellet grill at 225 for about 4 hours with no wrap. Man these were awesome.
For the ABT...
First ABT with fresh WI sweet corn on the Recteq Bullseye and sirloin steak on the BGE minimate.
This was my first attempt at ABT. Big mama says that's a do again. Also first steak on my new BGE. Restaurant quality😁
Made pork steaks today on the Rectec Trailblazer in 3 degrees outside. This grill never ceases to amaze me.
Thick cut steaks with Jeff's Texas Rub and then Jeff's Original Rub. Smoked at 225 for about 45 minutes flipping once during that time. Then wrapped in foil with butter and some honey...
My own version of a restaurant classic
Herb hash browns
Sauteed onions, red bell peppers and Persian Star garlic
Eggs (one bowl with a friends hot pepper mix)
Bacon
My pictures aren't as good as most of the posts here but don't be fooled 😁
