What did everyone cook today?
-
JoeB I actually have been using Excalibur frankfurter/bologna seasoning which kind of tastes like a wonderbar bologna… I do have bologna seasoning I bought that I’m going to try next! I used 31 mm cellulose casings, set my vertical electric pellet smoker to 150 open vent with no pan and started it with sticks in, so by the time my 30 min dry phase was over, I added the vent to about 1/3 open with a pan and sponges for added humidity (didn’t want the dogs to dry too much outside) then after about an hour closed the damper down (mine is a spinning cone thing so closed still allows smoke out pretty good) and kept at 150 for 2 hours, bumped to 175 till internal was 135, then finished in 172 degree water sous vide bath till internal of 160, ice bath for about an hour then removed from casing, dried off and packaged!
Quick edit, I actually mixed beef pork and chicken in mine, so I did 12 lbs 80/20 beef, 6 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs and 7 lbs pork back fat!
RJ Adventures thanks for the great detailed explanation. I don’t normally use pre-packaged seasoning but you sure gave me a reason to try your process . Thanks

Tex_77 I have the same griddle. Works great for lots of things. I used to lug that and a 3 burner camp chef stove camping. I bought a single burner flat top griddle for camping. A lot lighter!!!

30lbs of Beef bulgogi: literally “fire meat”, a gui made of thin, marinated slices of beef and veggies. A few lbs will end up on my griddle today. The rest will be frozen in 4lb packs.

JoeB It’s about time Bulgogi is becoming a household word. It’s been kept pretty much a secret until 2 years ago around the country. It now seems like it’s everywhere. But, always more comforting when you know what goes into yours. Hopefully, it satisfies your expectations.

JoeB I was stationed in Korea. My wife and I enjoy bulgogi about every other month. Not a plethora of Korean restaurants in western Nebraska so have to make our own. Luckily our Safeway does carry kimchi. Thanks for sharing that. Made me hungry.

zbigjeff Thanks, I’ve been making it about every 6 months for the last 40yrs+. Even made Bulgogi sausage once. Too smushy once the veggies cooked down in the casing

JoeB One of my favorite old sitcoms. I read a long while back the he and the Labeau characters were both in POW/internment camps and I think Labeau was/is the last one living.

Threw a whole brisket in the smoker today while working on the tractor. I cubed up the point for burnt ends. The flat was great, but the burnt ends were meat candy. I hit it hard with cracked black pepper and garlic. Tasty with a little kick.


Finished burnt ends with my homemade sauce.GWG8541 Looks great. Bark, smoke ring and burnt ends. What’s not to love?

Cured and smoked wild turkey breast. Just sliced and packed this morning.
