You have a lot of trimming to do

I actually enjoy trimming and cleaning meat. Kinda weird but my family was in the restaurant business when I was young and I would buy the meat and help prep it.

I went down a wormhole watching YT vids on smoking a brisket last night. Most go 225 degrees overnight for total cooking time over 12-14 hours plus rest period. I also found a guy with my same smoker that cooked at 300 degrees for total 6 hours and comes out just as good an juicy as the others. I am not trying to win any competitions but curious to what some of the TCG bros do for briskets.

I have a weber, smokey mountain, I will do 225 degrees for 12-17 .Once the brisket reaches 165 degrees I wrap in peach paper to finish. Once at desired temp i pull off wrap in bath towels and put in a cooler for at least 2 hours.

I focus on Consistent temp and think its more important then a certain temp. 225-275 anywhere in there and locked in, Im happy. If its over 300 I turn it down. if under 225 I turn it up.
An hour per pound is a good guess on cook times of large hunks of meat. When your done this can sit in a cooler for 8 hours no problem.

Everyone loves a sack of Burgers ?

Did some hanger steak tonight. First time trying it. I won’t pass it up ever again.
128 for 4 hours in the bath and finished at 800 on the BGE.
Super flavorful piece of meat.

Did burgers on this lil mfer last night. The coals still had a slight flame but we're white and glowing. The burgers took 2 mins, I covered 2x just to melt cheese and engolf some smoke. Holy SHIT were they clutch.

There is a butcher in Arlington Hts that sells skirt steak burgers. They are soooo fucking good. I’m assuming it’s skirt steak ground up with some 80/20

Last week Thursday, two young Men pull in the driveway with a freezer in their pick up bed.


I'm out on the deck drinking beer when Mindy tells me to talk with them.

So, they're selling meat

Home

www.smokeymountainmeats.com

He is opening boxes of pork, beef, Argentine red shrimp etc

I'm like ok how much for the box of Burgers, steaks etc
He replies $598

I busted out laughing and said hard pass - > no fuckin way but Cmon in have a beer.
So the 21 year old starts chugging beers, shot gunning them, Im laughing.

Then he starts talking about he wants to fight a grizzly bear with his bare hands etc


I'm rolling, and I go Ok Tarzan how much really for the box of beef now that you're chugging my beer!?!?

He stopped, thought a bit and goes $150
I said SOLD... hahaha

They're actually pretty good, Mindy and I were surprised ??

Well, my first attempt at brisket went pretty good. Really happy with the results. My wife posted this on Costco FB and I was overwhelmed by the responses…broke the internet! (Humble brag)

so i used this thing again yesterday

it's downside to it's smoke function is it really fucking brings the smoke.

it's not adjustable in that sense.

still love it for quick & easy, just learning it still.

What do you do with Chuck

 

[Yaj Yak]

What do you do with Chuck

 

[Yaj Yak]

stews, pot roast, soups, smoke it, braise it. legit endless.

 

[spuhala]

I pick up some of the chuck roast to make burnt ends!

 

[Yaj Yak]

Posted these pics in the wrong thread initially.

Smoked chuck roast with oak/cherry and made some bbq sammies. They call it a poor man's brisket, but these things cost more per pound and aren't as good as brisket - so I don't get it.

Did some pork belly burnt ends and then some smoked/braised/pulled chuck for sandwiches. Plus the usual mac & cheese, jalapeno corn muffins, etc.

smoked a ~3lb chuck roast overnight. Got a great bark, about 14 hours unwrapped. Just equal parts salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder.

Smoked at 225 with pecan and hickory, pulled at 205 IT. Rested in a cooler for 2 hours, was still probing 185 for dinner.

Smoked a chuck roast to about 170 then chunked it for chili tomorrow. Let it snow.

View attachment 144509

Cook it like a brisket. I’ve done it a few times and it comes out fastastic. I run the pit at 250, season with SPG, run till 165 interal, pull and wrap then run till 195. Rest it for 30 mins.


I pulled today’s early since I just wanted to impart the smoke flavor and it’ll cook in the chili tomorrow.
