    Hot n' Fast Brisket On The UDS: Juicy Meaty Beefy Goodness

    After my big meat score at Restaurant Depot, I decided my first casualty would be the USDA Choice Brisket. This one weighed in at just under 8lbs. You can see it here on the lower left: After I pulled it out of the cryovac, I trimmed the fat cap just a bit, and rubbed it down with Moose's Rib...

    Moose's Tandoori Chicken: Qview & Recipe

    I've been looking at a number of tandoori chicken recipes, which I sort of eyeballed and integrated the best of each, along with my own modifications. The last cook was the best so far, and I'm pretty happy with it. I used chicken thighs for this one, but you can also use cut up pieces, or a...

    Kobe Beef Carne Asada Tacos on Homemade Tortillas

    Absolutely! I think the meat got about 20 mins of smoke time, which is a lot for a thin cut.   Session data

    Crispy Skin Goodness: Moose's Roadside Chicken Tutorial & Recipe

    Not quite...I use apple cider vinegar in mine, and substitute celery seed for celery salt. Huge difference between white vinegar and apple cider vinegar in terms of flavor.   Session data

    Kobe Beef Carne Asada Tacos on Homemade Tortillas

    The homemade tortillas make a huge difference...make sure you get WHITE corn flour as opposed to yellow. The ones in the pic were with yellow, but the last batch we used white masa flour, and they were much better suited to tacos.   Session data

    Kobe Beef Carne Asada Tacos on Homemade Tortillas

    OK, this is not really Kobe beef, but with all of the rich marbling it had, it sure looked the part! So for the record, this is actually USDA Choice Skirt Steak I cherry picked from Costco. Here's a close up: Time to prepare the marinade. I assembled orange juice, sliced onions, cilantro...

    Crispy Skin Goodness: Moose's Roadside Chicken Tutorial & Recipe

    Roadside Chicken involves the use of an oil based mop sauce that is frequently brushed on the chicken while cooking over moderate heat and helps create the oft-coveted crispy chicken skin so many of us love. I dug around the internet, and found many recipes for the mop sauce, but as always, I...

    Fire Grilled Carne Asada Tacos W/ Homemade Tortillas

    Last night we decided to have carne asada tacos. As the missus left for the store to get some supplies, I suggested we try and make our own tortillas. So, she bought some pre-made masa dough and a cast iron tortilla press from the Mexican market and we're in business! I fired up the...

    Super Meat Candy: USDA PRIME Beef Back Ribs Smoked on the UDS

    As soon as I saw this package of USDA prime beef ribs, I nabbed it! Of course, there was only one : After I opened the package, there was one giant rib hiding under the main rack. Bonus! I seasoned them up with Moose's Rib Rub # 1 and let rest for a while. Then, I fired up the uds and...

    3-2-1 rib method

    The last few years I've been doing ribs hot and fast - temps around 325 which cuts down the cook time by almost 50%. If you're talking about going low and slow, say around 225 degrees, BB's take about 4 hours with spares about 5-6 depending on whether you do them whole or St. Louis cut. I pull...

    3-2-1 rib method

    I may raise some eyebrows here, but I do not foil ribs. Foiling steams the meat, which makes it mushy, even when you take them out and put back on the smoker. To me, foiling is one step removed from boiling. Hey, that rhymes! Try smoking them till they are done to your liking...that's all you...

    Brisket/Snowflakes With Q-View

    Wow. I'm speechless at how beautiful that brisket looks. And the smoke ring!!

    At first I didn't success should I try again.

    Couldn't have said it any better than that! If you smoke a corned brisket, you need to make pastrami out of it, and that's a whole different process. Try a straight up packer and you will have very different results.

    USDA Choice Porterhouse Steaks Smoked & Grilled over Hickory

    The missus picked up two USDA Choice Porterhouse Steaks at the market that were manager's specials: 75% off so we had about $32 worth of steak for just under $12. Here they are seasoned with wooster, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper: I set up my oval kettle using the firebrick...
