Grilling small steaks
Not sure why the processor cut them so small but I'll be grilling these venison steaks tomorrow. Very small and thin. Here's one alongside a can of beer for reference. Any tips on grilling so they don't get overdone? -
Brisket getting better but still needs work
Smoked a whole brisket over the weekend (18 pound whole brisket). Turned out pretty good. Slices from the flat were a tad dry but not terrible. When doing the bend test on your slices, if the slice breaks in half when bending is that a sign of overcooked? -
How to know you're actually getting a tri-tip?
Never cooked a tri-tip and looking to give it a try this weekend. I always hear stories abut people getting things passed off as tri-tips from the butcher that really aren't a tri-tip. How can I tell I am getting the true tri-tip when I order it? Thanks! -
Post Oak
A few years ago my Dad brought me back some post oak while in Texas for the winter. I kinda forgot about it sitting in my garage. Assuming it doesn't matter if it's been sitting a while? If I want to use it in my WSM, is best to just cut it up into baseball sized chunks?- bpinmi

Chuck Roast vs Pot Roast
Stupid question, is there a difference between Chuck Roast and Pot Roast? I smoked a few chuck roasts a few months back for some delicious pulled beef. Going through the freezer while we are on lockdown and I've got a few packages labeled "Pot Roast". They look the same as a chuck roast. Is... -

Pulled beef street tacos from a smoked chuck roast with cotija cheese. Marinated over night in Dr. Pepper and garlic salt. Put a basic salt/pepper/garlic rub on this morning. 3 hours at 225. Then put it in a foil pan and added some squeeze butter and Thai chili sauce, covered in foil and then... -
Beef Tenderloin on Akorn Kamado
Gave it a go with a beef tenderloin on my Akorn kamado. Marinated for an hour in coca-cola/teriyaki marinade/garlic salt. Then added a Commercial rub from Kroger (Private Selection Cracked Peppercorn Rich and Savory). Reverse seared at 260 for 45 minutes until IT 120. Then cranked the grill up...- bpinmi

Brisket Fail 3.0
Third time was NOT a charm in my elusive attempts to conquer brisket. Great flavor, just too dry. This one was operator error. I set everything up on my WSM at 4:30am and in the darkness, didn't realize I didn't have the door all the way closed on the charcoal chamber. So I went back to bed... -

What's the deal with these beef short ribs?
First time smoking beef short ribs. Kept it pretty simple. Trimmed off the silverskin, pulled the membrane and seasoned. Cooked at 250-275 and this is what they look like. Did the butcher put one over on me and stick me with the end of the cut or something? -
Memorial Weekend cook
Late posting this but just getting caught up with work after being off 4 days. Used the Akorn Jr Kamado for smoking for the first time and had great success. Knocked out a pork shoulder in 8 hours for deliciously tender pulled pork and then some sausage/beef meatballs stuffed with vermont...- bpinmi

Smoking (Frozen) Wings
Invited all the fellas in the neighborhood over for wings tonight. I bought several 5lb bags of frozen jumbo wings from GFS. Around 9am this morning I took them out of the freezer and opened the bags, dumped some brine solution in and put them in the fridge. Just checked them and they still... -
Question on brisket cook time
So I have cooked a brisket twice. First time it wasn't great. My smoker was running way hotter than I thought it was and it cooked in 8 hours. Brisket had great flavor but was overcooked and dry. Second time was much better. Had better control of my smoker temp and cooked for about 15 hours... -
Christmas Eve Pulled Pork, Brisket Slices and Burnt Ends
I signed up to bring the meats to our family Christmas Eve party. Spent a lot of tine with my 22" WSM the 16 hours prior with a pork shoulder for pulled pork sandwiches and a packer brisket for slices and burnt ends. Pork and burnt ends turned out great. The shoulder was done well before the...- bpinmi

Smoked Meatloaf in Akorn Kamado
Bought an Akorn Kamado a while back because I wanted something to do smaller cooks with (I also have a 22" WSM). Smoked a meatloaf today. Turned out great. Definitely a steep learning curve to keep temps low on the Akorn compared to the WSM. But getting a little better each time.
