What did everyone cook today?
-
smoked 20# of polish this morning. Started with Excalibur polish mix, added 1T of garlic powder, 1/2t black pepper, and 1 1/2 cups soy protein. smoked 4 hours over a oak fire. Made them long to cut up into chunks for our shrimp boil in a couple weekskyle those would be great in a boil!

Happy to smoke my first bacon using the guidance of the hive here.
Much gratitude all around!
jh4_htx Very nice. Can’t wait to hear about how that tastes. Great Job!

Keto breakfast for dinner. Keto waffle, butter, keto maple syrup and an egg. Surprisingly tasty

zbigjeff One was a small BBQ place, maybe the owner was absent. We had a variety of meats between the 3 of us, none was close to top quality. The in-house sausage featured on the show was bland and dry-dry.
The other was one of the Juicy Lucy places, two thin cardboard patties with a whisper (had to look twice to be sure it was there) of cheese
When my wife gets burned 2 out of 2, she’ll never go to another, especially since she never liked the show in the first place LOLglen I don’t doubt there are clunkers out there. But, I have gotten many great ideas from watching the show. The one item I determined from watching was my homemade rubs were pretty much spot on with many of the places around the usa. Just an opinion. Bur, I do also get the 2 out of 2 issue. There are a decent number of locations I will not waste my time on locally fir the same reasons. Like many in my group have found out, our home creations are above many restaurants. But, there are also some that are going to be visited again. Have a good day.

I’m back at almost 100% except for the blood thinners on board. Made some more smoked meatloaf tonight for dinner. The wife seems to like it that way now, less complaints when I put things in she doesn’t care for. Well here are the pictures, plus a couple of the smoked prime ribs from July 4th before I went to the ER for the embolism.

Jonathon Joe Hell Chef Matt Pittman from Meat Church BBQ whose seasonings Walton’s carries is doing a 3 part series on brisket, the first part is out and covers wrapping in foil versus butcher paper, the second video will cover cooking fat side up or down, and the third will be on using beef tallow or no beef tallow when wrapping. Here’s the link Brisket Series 1 of 3
Chef his new pit looks as big as yours. Thier is a video on his YouTube channel all about it.

Tex_77 Thanks for link on the Brisket methods. Thinking I like the foil better because of the less time an more rest. Maybe, either is perfect. It’s nice to see people actually performing proper testing techniques.

johnsbrewhouse We will keep getting well by the day. Let do that process together. But, for different reasons. Try and have another good day.

calldoctoday so… the bacon turned out great!
I think it would have been too salty if I hadn’t followed the directions here. It’s a big hit with the kiddos!

zbigjeff I’m gonna throw my $.02 in about the wrapping. I have only ever done a butcher paper wrap. It’s how I first saw it done. (I bought the subscription to Masterclass for my daughter and her love of singing and performing and watched Aaron Franklin’s Masterclass among others) The butcher paper has always worked for me. I wrap my pork butts in foil and my briskets in butcher paper. the last one I made, I gave a lot more rest than the previous ones (some people were late to the party and we waited…) Straight up cut like butter. I’m cooking two briskets, two pork butts and some burnt end style pork belly tonight for my daughter’s birthday party tomorrow. maybe I’ll follow ip with some pictures if you’re interested.

zbigjeff How have you been feeling? Are you making good progress? I have been trying to do all my briskets, butts, & ribs of late without using one of the crutches (either foil (Texas Style) or butcher paper). It makes for some good eating, good caramelizing, & great texture. However, I will admit, it is more challenging, takes much longer, & can get dried out pretty easily if you are not careful, not to mention that the color is not necessarily perfect. I just decided here lately to try sticking to that on the past several cooks. We will see how long I will stick with it. Probably the worst thing is it takes much longer & visiting folks start getting antsy. They want there food like a restaurant often times these days, on time! I suppose I came from too old of a school, we work together, cook together, drink together & then we get to eat it together, right on time.

badfire2625 I am also pro wrap in butcher paper, I like a really good bard and I just don’t get the same results with foil, too much steaming going on in there. Also if you’re pro catch the drippings for sauce person, then just gotta put a pan under it to catch it all.

calldoctoday Well, if the PT people are correct, I’m doing “boring” very well. Feels like I’m getting more stable each day. The proof will be in the xray next Tues. Re: brisket your way. It’s nice to know how/why each does their’s. As long as it’s not dry, I’m in. For your way, I would start one day early and give it a long rest time because guests are worse than kids on a car ride.
