Valentines day dinner at home. Monster steaks, lobster tails, shrimp n scallops and sweet/spicy Brussels sprouts. Tomahawk steak was delicious but the ribeye I made the wife was probably one of the best steaks I’ve cooked. Was like butter and could cut with a fork

Dry age update. 21 days in. The pork loin has a subtle, but really delicious aroma to it. Very hard to describe, but its sweet. Reminds me of Ricotta and pistachio. Very nutty and sweet cheese. I think we have textbook dry age flavor going on.

This is a good development. If dry aging is too cold, you'll just make cold and dry beef jerky. The white stuff is thamnidium. A fungus that creates the "dry age flavor". Just going off the aromas, gonna be very good.

beef doesnt have it yet. Its got a lot more mass and weight than the pork loin.

This is the maiden voyage, im happy to see/smell progression that seems like dry aging going on here.

Found a frozen package of outer skirts I forgot about. Also threw on some cactus and chorizo. 2025 grilling season is open for me.

Ooni pizzas today. heres the 28 day dry age update on pork loins and beef rib roast. Smells incredible, like ricotta or Marscipone cheese.

Not on my grill, but had Korean corn dogs here in Aurora. SLAPS. Really recommend. The crispy rice and flamin hot cheetos ones are amazing.

Pie looks delicious 🍽

Not my best. Stone was a bit colder than id like. 700*F is ideal. This was 630ish, but good flames above.

My Wife and I never heard of it until about 10yrs ago. Marianos had samples, we tried it and were hooked

I bought a couple boneless pork shoulders from Costco and headed over to a buddy's place Friday since he just bought a bunch of sausage making equipment. We ground the pork shoulder with some extra pork fat, seasoned then stuffed in natural casing.

From left: Cubano, Cheese and Giardiniera, Jerk and Hot Italian.




Last night my wife made her Vodka sauce so we grilled up a couple italians. IMO it needs more fennel and garlic but they were pretty good.

Today was eventful. Jewel had corned beef brisket point cuts for $3.99/lb. I wasn’t there for one, but for $15 I decided I’d finally smoke one.





And into the smoker that has not been used since last year before we moved.


Well that was a fail as it broke again. After 10+ years it finally went in the trash so we tried to improvise


Hottest I could get it was 180* so after 2 hours of smoke, I wrapped it tight with foil and threw it in the oven to 200* internal temp. Let it rest for almost 2 hours and the result was amazing.

Cluster of a day, but delicious

Did you need to rinse it off after you took it out of the package?

Did you need to rinse it off after you took it out of the package?

I rinsed and patted dry and then used mustard + sriracha as a binder. Since I did zero research until I was cooking it, in the future I would probably soak it in water for a few hours first to release the salt from the brine. Since I smoked it, it seemed to mask the brine flavor. Will try again after I buy a new smoker

Thanks that’s just what I wanted to know.
