You didn't specify, do you like your in laws? Or are you just feeding them to keep them happy while they are there?

LoL, I like them.
We get together once every other month to eat, play cards and visit.

Short cook would be Tri Tip or ribs. Simple and very predictable results.

Yea I think Tri Tip is a great piece of meat and cooking to 145 IT makes it a fast smoke too. Hard part is finding it. If that doesn't work, I would go with pork loin and do the same IT.

 

[Binford 6100]

I love the trip tip.
I Have not smoked one yet.
Either salt crusted in over or grilled.

I can get them where I live

 

[ghostguy6]

Well in that case then I would suggest this:

It's probably my fav red meat outside of standing rib roasts and it cost a lot less than that. Simple salt and pepper rub and cook to 145 and you are done. It's really hard to find where I'm at. Sometimes the only ones I can get are the ones that are already in a marinade and vacuum sealed.

That's interesting, how sweet does that end up being?

 

[ghostguy6]

I found it a little sweet but since your making the sauce separately you can tailor it to your own liking. Just add the strawberry jam a little at a time until your happy with it. I found that when it tasted sweet in the pan, it was perfect on the pork loin. My diabetic grandmother had a second helping so it cant be that bad lol.

I've done some of Jeff's recipes . Liked them all . Like I said above , I used Tony's Jalapeno butter injection for the first time last weekend on a pork loin . Short cook and easy . It was fantastic . 3 pound loin for 3 of us not much left .
Like noboundaries said , any flavor profile you want goes with pork loin .
I just pumped it full of the injection then bagged over night . Smoked on WSM to 145 then wrapped and rested for an hour in the oven . Can be a sandwich or a plated meal . I'm impressed with the Tony injections .

Not fancy to look at , but not much talkin at the dinner table . To busy eating .

I'm voting on meat loaf, just don't make them more than 3 pounds per loaf and you should easily hit your time frame. If you do one giant 5-6 pound meat loaf well all bets are off on the timing lol.

Just wanted to give you the heads up on that :)

 

[Binford 6100]

well my father in law has requested beef, so I guess that narrows it down some.

 

[chilerelleno]

Chuck's done Hot-n-Fast would be great, as would be the Tri-tip.
Of course one should not over look smoked and reverse seared steaks.

 

[chilerelleno]

Meatloaf doesn't really count as Beef.

 

[chilerelleno]

Or you could get creative with fillings in Beer Can Burgers or a Fatty or two.
Glorified meatloaves they're, but what the hell... LoL.

 

[tallbm]

Hmmm smoking beef in a 6 hour window might be tough.

I guess you could always make some Kabaobs and smoke them. Use a good cut of meat like sirloin or better and you would only need to hit an IT of like 140-145F for them to be done. That should be a fast enough smoke, or as suggested a reverse sear where you smoke steaks and then you sear them on the grill :)

Meat loaf doesn't add up to anything in my book. :confused:

are you looking to experiment or looking to impress? if my in-laws were coming over to taste my bbq i would definitely go with something easy which i know well... likely ribs, chicken wings, smoked sausage and corn... but i do appreciate your adventurous spirit

I like to experiment and try new things together with friends and family.
