Take a spoon and hollow out and stuff it with cream cheese or seafood salad and then put shredded cheese and lawrys on top. Easy peesy! If you don’t want the brown outside you can wrap the outside in foil

thanks!!!

How much of the liquid do you drain off before pulling? I tried pulling it right in the juices but seemed to get greasy?.

 

I pull it right in the pan with the juices after it rests an hour still wrapped. I do trim a lot of the fat off before smoking and the layers inside seem to melt out after 6hrs unwrapped then 2 more wrapped.  Not greasy at all just clear juice left?

Ok I'm sorry.  Just turn the grill over and let the cheese melt down to your burger buns. And say I meant to do that!

3.5lb brisket flat put on the smoker this morning. Was rested and ready just in time for dinner.

 

There we no leftovers for work tomorrow unfortunately:

Costco, everytime I am there I sort through them all and try to get some smaller ones. I see Sams club locally sometimes has a few small ones but never tried them.

[snagfinder]

Would you be scared to buy them if they were on there sell by date or a day later? A few weeks ago the local Coborns had three in there bargain bin that were marked from around 25 dollars down to like 16. That goes from 5.49lb to about 3.50lb. Of course after I changed my mind and turned around someone bought them.

[Mike89]

I smoked to 160 and then wrapped in foil until it hit 200 and then let it rest a couple hours while wrapped in a towel in the cooler.

Not if I was goings to smoke them right away. I am sure they would be fine even if you froze them and thawed at a later date.

thank you rundave!!!

Took out the weber and cooked some racks of ribs up with the charcoal indirect and hickory wood chips on top of the coals for about an hour and a half. Left them on the grill for another hour or so. Then put them on top of each other while brushing some BBQ sauce on them for another half hour.

Did another round of cottage bacon ..... 10 days brining turning the package ever other day, rinse and rest overnight in the fridge, smoke and rest over night in the fridge, and then slicing. It is a long two week process, but well worth it! If you’ve never done it, I high recommend giving it a try! I did 4 pork butts and ended up with abound 20 lbs.... gave about half of it away already, but have 4 more butts ready to brine before winter!

Picked up a couple brisket flats this weekend and fired up the pellet grill today. Usually I only do full packers, but figured I’d give the flats a try. This go around I didn’t wrap through the stall to see if I could improve on the bark. Turned out ok, but will prob go back to doing it the old way instead.  Did some beef ribs for the first time as well. Tasted good, but not nearly as much meat as other beef ribs I’ve had in the past. Either way.... a day smoking beats a day working!

My meat thermometer has 6 probes so usually I’ll poke one threw a tater to get a second reading on the grill temp while keeping the probe off of the grill grate..... turns out the wife forgot the Yukon golds on the last shopping running, so a pear was sacrificed.  dam did that pear take on a nice color after 9 hours though! The sweet,  tan little bastard smelled so good that I was tempted to take a spoon a give her a try

[bobberineyes]

Looks good to me !! That's a great idea on the temp probe!

What the helll kind of thermometer is that?  Can't you unplug the ones not used?  What do you do if your only cooking one thing, jam the other 5 into a spud?

Nope. Just plug in the ones you want. The thermometer is a tenergy solis and is by far the best digital wireless thermometer that I’ve had (4 total). The app is Bluetooth and easy to use, and best off all the unit is very accurate. So why the need for 6 leads?..... well- why not?
