Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

First time doing Pork belly burnt ends

I’ll update in a bit

 

It’s already good. Can’t wait for the finished product

Costco run?

 

I just got back from there, and didn’t see that in the case.

 

Pork belly burnt ends. Ate it with some streamed buns . I approve

 

Lol.

Didn’t see that part. I may have had a few drinks so far this afternoon.

 

Steak bites, with a blue cheese dipping sauce!

 

Oh my does that Wagyu look melt-in-your-mouth tender!

 

Wanting your thanksgiving meal from Schwan’s?

 

Took the 'rents to Killen's BBQ in Pearland. Burnt ends are the hands down best I've ever had, and I've had them in a few places. Pops loves the damn place! Said his trip to Texas is complete for this go around.

 

Piggy with a new sauce I was trying out.

 

Do tell...

 

Nothing crazy. Apple cider vinegar with some brown sugar, cayenne, and red pepper flakes. I usually do a mustard and vinegar sauce. This was a nice change up.

 

Didn’t work out with what I wanted to do, so I’ll just post it here.

Pork tenderloin, 145 internal, with a 10 minute rest. It was good. Toasted some French baguette with oil and pepper, and steamed broccoli.

 

My daughter, Stella, has been absolutely fascinated by grilling/smoking, lately. Right on my hip anytime I'm doing anything with the pits.

Today she helped reverse sear some t-bones.

Checking temp (overshot our target by a few degrees!):


What "plated" looks like for a 5 year old :


Little sister (2 years old) Claire approved:


Pitmaster-in-training, Stella, enjoying the fruits of her labor :

 

Has she had her shot? She's standing awful close to the lockjaw smoker.

 

Per our Sunday evening tradition, chicken wings for dinner. Buffalo for me, salt and pepper for the wife.

About 20 min in:


Just about finished.


I feel like each week is better than the last!
