2023 Smoking/Grilling/Cooking thread

Here's another I like and couldn't get to load earlier for some reason. There are a ridiculous amount of recipes out there now. I don't know what kind of grill you got but some even have their own website/forum type of thing for people who use them.

Smoking-Meat.com Home - Learn to Smoke Meat with Jeff Phillips

Jeff's new eBook includes two dozen favorite recipes from the website. All instructions have been re-written and double-checked for accuracy.

Yes, on there app are recipe sections, I wasn’t overly impressed after taking a quick look. Will eventually check it further. Was kind of looking for recommendations to start with other than normal experimenting, etc. My wife isn’t really on board with this. She doesn’t “love” eating like I do. Says just plain burgers, brats, steaks thrown on the gas grill is “good enough“. I am kind of interested in going beyond that point.

This is what I was wanting to hear. Do you take them straight from smoker to the cambro or do you do anything different if you know they will rest that long?

I go straight into the cambro to rest. I haven't noticed any difference in a 2 hour rest vs 8 hours.

So I'm doing some pork butts for an open house and am worrying about timing. My question is how long can I let them rest wrapped in foil using a cambro? Can you rest them too long? Normally I rest for an hour to two in dry cooler but I really would like more cushion time.

In a cambro, 8 hours would be nothing.

I've doubled wrapped them in foil, wrapped in a bath towel, and chucked them in a cheap cooler for 8 hours. They were still 150° when I got around to pulling them.

Divorce her. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Yeah well…our agreement goes something like “ after 52 years of marriage ( 55 years counting dating together) if I’m gonna divorce you it would have to be for something a whole lot bigger/more important than that“.

I am building the man kitchen.

My wife like the convenience of the propane grill (which we do not own) or a black stone. I found a big cast iron grill so I just need to find a propane grill large enough to use the griddle on and close the lid. I know nothing about a gas grill.

Meanwhile I will move my equipment to the garden area and the fire pit. The old smoker the Weber my cast iron and the assorted equipment I have collected over the years. It will be a pain walking from the kitchen to man kitchen with stuff but I will do what I have to.

Happy wife happy life.

Weber builds a solid gas grill also. The cast firebox will outlast all the stamped ones. My current Weber gasser is a 2007 model. I've replaced the gas tubes, flavor bars and grates. The box is getting thinner but it's done a lot of cooking.

Just came across this on FB. It's rolling grilling basket that looks kind of interesting. It's made in the USA too.

Take a look at Amazingribs.com and VirturalWeberBullet.com for some recipes. The Virtual Weber Bullet also has a forum and more recipes to look thru.

Something easy and cheaper to smoke is a small pork shoulder. Pulled pork sandwiches one day and nachos with the leftovers.

@Caleb, wow for the first time that looks really good, congrats.

Working on a brisket today. First real attempt.

16.6 lbs. separated Flat and point. Keeping it basic with salt and pepper in the electric smoker at 225

Flat hit 160 after about 2.5 h, wrapped and back in. Point is around 110.

Wish me luck

As in, Don’t drip hot liquids on bare feet?

 

[EPeter213]

Point upto 132. May need to move the probe to check on flat

Flat is definitely stalled at 160. Now the waiting really begins

 

[EPeter213]

Flat is climbing again. Point at 154. Looking and smelling good!
