That brisket looks good!

Man, I've been eating leftovers all week, :dr

OLS 05-12-2010 06:38 PM

Re: What's in your smoker?
 
I over-cooked the ribs. But I was impaired and talking. Surprise.
The brisket is the way the butcher made it, a full cut. 18+ inches long. Hell it might
have been 22 inches or more long.

This weekend I pulled out three stixa andouille, a pack of burger meat and 4 really thick ribeyes. So grilling is in my smoker.
It is far too versatile to pidgeon-hole. :)

Here is a picture. I took this about halfway through. I was having trouble keeping a constant temp, due to weird winds so I finished last 40 mins in the oven.

Just cold smoked some cheese, nuts and green olives over hickory and apple in the S18.
(Yes, Brent, I bought a vacuum sealer - thanks for the push that finally got me to go find one)

Was going to do a second run with mesquite and cherry, but the POS $2.99 soldering iron from Fry's only made it through one run.

Thanks Brad! Im rather proud of myself on how they turned out.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 
I think on that recipe next time you only use ONE of the tubes of meat. Everything else it totally
to scale. I have not seen as well executed and COOKED bacon weave as that in as long as I
have been checking out fatties, which to be honest is only two months. But I see so many
that are the right temp inside apparetly, but the wrong doneness in the bacon arena. That
is very nice.

You're gonna love it. You'll find yourself vac-sealing many more things than just food.
I used it to pack an extra rain jacket and Fleece vest in my boat in case of emergency. It shrunk those things down to about 1" tall, lol

So any of you grill masters tried this stuff before: http://realmontanacharcoal.net/default.aspx

was reading over at naked whiz while bored at work. Evidently the owner of this company doesn't believe in full carbonizing so that the charcoal of apple will give apple flavor and so on. For a speciality charcoal $1/lb doesn't seem so bad but just wondering what ya'll think.

I haven't tried them.... yet. It's the shipping prices that get me.

But I did have a good conversation with the owner/maker. And he seems like a real nice down to earth guy. It got great reviews over at naked whiz and it's filling a void in the market for a good maple charcoal. He also does small batches of fruit woods.

Yeah, I'm already loving it. The frugal side of me is ecstatic that I found a NIB older foodsaver w/ 3 20' rolls of 11" film and like 30 quart bags for $55 total. The engineer part of me is hating the fact that I didn't just drop $190 on the almost industrial grade VacMaster Pro-130. Considering the cost of bags/film though, I got a good deal. I can always upgrade to the bigger machine later.

Just FYI, CostCo sells the bags

Thanks.

My search for a machine actually started at Costco since they have the $20 off the high end FS system coupon in the current book so I did notice that they had a very good price on the bags when I was looking at the machine the other day. 3 or 4 rolls of 11"x16 + 1 roll of 8"x20' + a handfull of quart bags for about $50 IIRC.

This machine came with so many rolls that I'm probably set for a long time.

I might also look towards some of the bag/roll vendors on ebay too eventually - prices there seem to be very inexpensive.

Well I see on the website that it says Florida Distributor Coming Soon. :D

Good to hear. The shipping is always the killer. Being that my neighbor owns a freight company I was going to see what we could work out common carrier on a half pallet or something.

Thanks. You're exactly right. Next time - Half as much meat and more filling (it did need some more stuffin'). Those were my thoughts too. :tu

Bunch a talking, no picture posting half-weights. LOL. I was lucky enough to stock up on the small bone ribs where they
pack 3 racks in there. I bought a dozen racks and might get three more on Mon. Pictures speak for themselves. I ended up
using sauce on exactly one and a half racks. Landlady got one, I got one, will bring one to work. First time I ever put sauce
on a rack of ribs. Over-cooked, btw.

I made 3 racks today in by rectangular Brinkmann smoker. My sister and her husband came to visit for the day. I coated in maple syrup and followed with a light coat of rub and wrapped in saran wrap early this morning. AFter lunch time I smoked these for about three to three and a half hours at around 225-250° and did a half dozen ABT's made with Poblano peppers. I let them rest and then brought to temp again in a 250° oven for 40 mins before serving. They were delicious. I have 2/3rd's of a rack left after sending some home with my sister.

Did 4 butts overnight for a going away herf for RPGuy (Jamie) and his wife Kate. I'll snap a pic before I foil. Also throwing on a fatty, 3 racks of spares, and 25 or so chicken thighs for good measure.
