Seeing as it's the wife's birthday, I'm slow grilling a Boston Butt using my secret recipe... Haven't done one in a while, but it's been a long time coming

smoked 2 whole chickens and a whole filet of salmon. The salmon I put dijon mustard on lightly then old bay seasoning. The chicken was bbq rub on one and montreal steak seasoning on the other.

Did a brisket this weekend, but I flubbed it a bit. Was about 19lbs, so I was anticipating nearly 23 hours needed to finish it. Put it on at 3pm Saturday at 250, and then wrapped it in butcher paper at about 11pm because I didn't want to burn the edges and didn't want to be up all night spritzing it.
Ended up getting to 205 on the monitor at 6AM, much earlier than I was expecting. I pulled it and had to hold it at temp until around noon (when I was planning on it being dinner) and when I sliced it 6 hours later it was moist and tasted fine, but was falling apart and not the texture I was hoping for. I am guessing that hot holding it that long was my problem....and the butcher paper wrap must have changed my timeline a lot. I haven't ever used that to wrap before...I was thinking it would be more like an unwrapped cook since it can breath some instead of a texas crutch...but I guess it is both. In hindsight, wish I started the cook at midnight. |

Will definitely be doing that again. |
Anyone here have any experience using a pellet smoker? I’m wanting to get into smoking but I want something simple that I can run overnight. I’ve heard pellet smokers don’t infuse enough smoke into the meat or have a hard time maintaining a consistent temp. I’ve looked at a few different Traeger models but haven’t pulled the trigger because a lot of the reviews with complaints about the temp swings.

If you’re looking for an easy overnighter I have a master built electric rig that is reliable and easy as hell. It’s not as good as charcoal Q but it’s a damned fine facsimile. And on my end it isn’t worth the extra effort. If you are a hardcore charcoal dude, thermoworks makes a product called Bellows that automatically controls the bottom vent on a Webber kettle. I have no idea how it works, I don’t know anyone that has one but it’s out there. |

Do not go with a Traeger if you want one that will last. Spend the money for something like a REC TEC.

**** Pellet grills, if it can't burn real wood....

I'd like to have an outdoor smoke-infused oven, but it looks like Weber seriously ****ed their first attempt up so I'm gonna wait and see if they do better in the coming years.

Burn charcoal or wood or buy it from those that do.
One of my favorite BBQ joints went pellet, doesn't taste the same. It got mentioned on facebook.Sales fell, now stick burner/ gas unit was bought back, and I'm back to paying stupid prices for brisket. |
Last 24 hours I've drank a beer while kegging another beer while brewing a totally separate beer, then got a full packer brisket going overnight. Also purchased shaving cream from a clearance rack at a hardware store this morning.
I was a pooping on Direckshun's mom's chest away from man card bingo. https://i.imgur.com/txmunLC.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/VZGU04m.jpg?1 |
Got a small turkey breast rolling on the smoker. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...40f9c64b7d.jpg
