Yesterday was my 11th anniversary. I didn’t get a chance to cook but made it right tonight with some prime caps.

Thanks to 88nitro for turning me on to the sirloin caps had not heard or seen one prior to these

Sea Salt and ground pepper was all I used on these. Let them set for an hour while the smoker came up to temp and wood burned down to coal bed.

Smoked at 250, wanted 225 but fire was to large to begin with. used the fireboard to monitor temps and pulled at Z zippy12 advice. Wrapped in foil and placed in cooler for 30 min

Also had some slice zucchini from the garden cooking in the smoker. Just sprinkled with garlic salt and called it a day

Finished product. The meat was super tender. The flavor profile was off the chart. I tried my second helping with horseradish and OMG. Wow.

Happy Anniversary SMF with Lots of Rub, Flatbroke
 
Beautifully done.Hell yeah on the horseradish-a must.No need to wrap and put in cooler if eating it right away.Just let it rest on something that'll collect the wonderful juice as it cools.

I totally agree. Cooler resting is a "crutch" to buy you some time if you finish cooking too early before dinner or if you have to travel with a pre-cooked/smoked item. However if you are eating soon, put it on a serving plate or small cookie sheet and just tent it with foil (don't wrap it) for 10-15 minutes. Tenting will properly rest the meat w/o trapping the steam, preserving the wonderful crust!
If you need a little more time (something like 20-30 minutes), place the cookie sheet and tented meat in an unused oven to prevent too much heat loss during resting. (The best brisket I ever did was rested this way.) Anything above 30 minutes, foil wrap and into the cooler!
 
Looks really good to me, and happy anniversary.

Happy Anniversary and wish you many more.

Like that cook done my way. If it can be held still and not kick I can eat it. :rolleyes: Squash looks good too.
