    Doctored Cattlemen's sauce

    So I don't even know where I saw this the other night, but I heard that Cattlemen's has a "base sauce" that makes a good starting point to be modified. It even says on the label "customizable" and "make it your own". I was wondering if anyone has done this, or maybe had some ideas of what you...

    Any upgrades I can make to GMG JB Prime Plus?

    So I just picked up a new auger motor for my cooker, its under warranty so we just walked in to the dealer and they gave us a new one, they've been having known issues with the other one for whatever reason. So I got to thinking, while I'm effing around in there, what else can I do? They threw...

    My favorite batch of pulled pork yet...

    Over the years I've spent thousands of dollars on rubs. Hell, I've spent about $400 these past few months alone. But I have to say, my favorite batch of pulled pork I've EVER done was this most recent batch. Kosher salt, coarse ground black pepper, granulated garlic. Smoked at 225 over lump...

    And the winner is...

    ...me! All three racks of ribs were salted the day before. This was a three pack of baby back ribs from Costco. A - coarse black pepper and granulated garlic B - Jeff's Original Rub C - Meat Church BBQ Deez Nuts Pecan Rub All three were mopped every hour with a thin mixture of apple cider...

    Sauce with jalepeno jelly?

    I'm not interested in making a sauce from scratch but probably doctoring something. I remember once somebody told me they glaze their ribs with jalepeno jelly, and then when that is set, glaze with sauce. I thought, why not just mix sauce and jalepeno jelly? I tried this weekend with a jar of...

    Reverse seared Snake River Farms wagyu sirloin

    Never had wagyu before. I found a little market when I was out of town that sells Snake River Farms wagyu ribeye and sirloin. Did the sirloin today. Reverse seared on the 26" Weber. It came out ok. Maybe the ribeye, with more fat, will be even better. I don't know that I would pay $20/pound...

    Titan smoker

    I've never heard of this brand but it came up in my Facebook feed. Had been looking at a Backwoods Chubby 3400 or G2 Chubby. What do you guys think? https://www.titangreatoutdoors.com/reverse-flow-vertical-smoker-899719.html

    Is this the right stuff? (Royal oak/embers/expert grill)

    I know this seems like I shouldn't have to ask but I always seem to get the wrong stuff when I shop. I've read the RO, Home Depot stuff, and Expert Grill are all the same. And that it seems most people prefer it to Kingsford. Is this what I'm looking for? If so I'll pick up a boatload when I go...

    First cook with the WSM 18 and Fireboard

    https://share.fireboard.io/C92E01 I'm not sure what I did wrong. I was under the impression I could go a whole butt cook with one load of fuel. I used Kingsford briquettes with chunks of cherry and pecan. I had the ring full of briquettes and hollowed out a space in the middle and then dumped a...

    Can I use this?

    Some guy on Craigslist was selling firewood. He said it was oak so I figured I could give it a shot. I mean, $30 for my car trunk full and if I can't use it for smoking I'm sure somebody could use it in a fire pit or something. I'm concerned about the dirt on it. And I don't know anything about...

    Does anyone have the WSM that DOESN'T like it?

    Guy on Craigslist is selling the WSM 22 for $270. Seems like a great deal but I'm concerned I wouldn't like it, or maybe it's not big enough for big briskets, etc.

    Best ribs I've ever made

    Friday I got a new smoker, Masterbuilt Thermotemp propane smoker. It was an emergency buy but so far I'm happy. Yesterday made these ribs, they are the best that I personally have ever made.

    Apparently the pork loin got really good reviews and the brisket was even better!

    How do you know how much to charge?

    How do you know how much to charge for any sort of catering? Specifically, just bulk meat by the pound. I did some brisket and sliced pork loin for somebody recently and they want to know how much to page me. I've checked around some of restaurants in the area and they charge anywhere between...

    How much brisket and pork loin for 60?

    Hey there, one of the doctors I work with hosts a dinner for about 50 people every year and asked if I'd cook for him this year as he's in a long stretch of days and can't himself do it. He asked for brisket and pork loin because this is what I have made to bring in to the ER people and everyone...

    Bag big enough for whole belly

    Hey all, I picked up 3 pork bellies today at Costco, all between 10-11 pounds. Where would one find bags big enough to fit a whole belly?

    Cold smoke generator similar to Smoke Daddy, without pump

    Hey guys, a couple weeks ago I saw a cold smoke generator similar to the Smoke Daddy, but with no pump. You were supposed to hook it up so the smoke entered near the fire, and that was supposed to create the vacuum needed to bring in the smoke so you didn't need a pump. I can't remember where I...

    First try with burnt ends

    I've done a fair number of briskets but never tried burnt ends. Not even sure I did it right. I rubbed a 15 pound Costco packer with SPG and smoked on the Pitboss with their competition blend pellets. Not sure of the exact timing, I know overall the whole process was 12 hours, but whenever it...
