I have some work ahead of me…212lbs of pork butt, I hope 5lbs of seasoning is enough

5 lbs of Meat Church?!? Somebody's throwing around the big bucks!

I bought some meat church the other day. It smells weird, like preservatives weird. It wasn't as good as texasbbqrub. I'm going to try it again, but, so far, I'm not excited about it.

There's a reason that I pretty much only buy Bearded Butcher, for any serious BBQ.

I really want to try BB Black.

The wife bought some knock off and it wasn't good at all

That's one of my two go-to seasonings. I use it on pork belly.

Forgot to update, the chicken thighs came out pretty good but a bit on the smoky side which kind of surprised me. I burned a super clean fire this go round and the smoke flavor is good, it's just a bit strong. I think I'll maybe increase the heat to decrease the (length of time) smoke level next time.

I ended up with 3 batches to do so to balance things out a bit and to bring out more of the cajun seasoning I just baked the third batch.

Turned out to be a good decision. After I sliced them all up and mixed the two types together the flavors balanced out just like I'd hoped. Ended up with 9.5 lbs total. Four bags of 2l bs each into the freeze and the 1.5 lb bag is in the fridge waiting to get chewed on. We prefer it on a croissant with lettuce, tomato and mayo, perhaps a slice of Swiss. It ain't a bad way to enjoy a meal if I do say so myself.

I’m not so good at math but 5#’s of meat church shipped to me is $56…I checked out your bearded butcher and for 4#’s of most seasonings is $60 with free shipping. So a pound less seasoning AND $4 more expensive for your bearded butcher. But like I said my math skills ain’t no good. Hey for $80 you can get a super cool bucket!!

That’s not good! I think here recently some of the meat church seasonings I have bought the seasoning is “finer” then it has been in the past. Maybe they are making it a different way now.

Let's see some after pics before it gets devoured.

Not sure exactly what you're wanting, but here ya go.

Here it is after resting.

I cut it in half, and then trim the length to fit on the slicer bed. I make sure to slice across the grain.

Sliced

End trimmings we use in green beans or pintos


Cleaning the slicer is the hardest part, or at least that's what she tells me.

The wife asked me to go help her pick something up yesterday afternoon. It turned out to be my Father's Day gift that came in a little late and I cannot wait to put this thing to use. I'd never ever heard of or seen these models, it sure looks like I'll be using the griddle a lot more frequently moving forward. No more rust!

I've had a Blackstone for a few years now and it was well worth the money for the chicken fried rice alone. The downside has always been the rusty cook top and the grease catch on the back. This Pit Boss seems to address both and reviews are positive. Looking forward to giving it a go.

I upgraded last weekend. I went from a rusted out 2010 Spirit E210 to a 2007 Genesis E310

It's a bit old, but in near perfect shape with newer burners, and upgraded stainless grates and bars... plus, I got it for 1/3 the cost of a comparable new model. The only thing it needs to be perfect is a new emblem for the front of the hood.

Works perfectly. I've already made steak, salmon, brats, and chicken breasts. All turned out perfect.

Here's a cooked shot for you BigRed.

Oh, I never claimed that Bearded Butcher was cheap; just that it was better quality. I was totally just busting chops on the whole "big bucks" thing. Good BBQ is worth it.

Nice!

I just replaced the burner tubes and the flame tamers on my gas grill. For $40, it's almost like having a brand new grill.
