Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

Not much for hardwood mostly pine/fir

I've scavenged a few apple trees but not enough.

Really looking forward to these results

 

Getting some color. One hour in

 

Who needs Perry’s!

Plus the drinks are less expensive at your place!

 

Bad. Ass.

 

No lie. It ain’t Perry’s level. But it was a hit at home !

 

Looks amazing from here!

 

Damn my cap steak is only up to 114°, I'm starving. And considered sticking a fork in my screen to nab a chop. Been a long time since I've done pork chops need to add those to the list, looks great!

 

Pictures in the morning ?

 

I need to stop looking at this thread late at night Damn those chops look good

So here is the deal... You are correct even in the bulk vacuum pack they come with the fat cap removed. And mine doesn't even sell it in the vacuum pack.

You have to watch the labels carefully. They sell top sirloin right next to the picanha (sirloin cap steak). I picked up the last package today and all they had was choice. I have purchased Prime before and talked to the butcher and just like yours he said it is hit or miss. They get it in when they get it in.

Picanha - Sirloin Cap Steak



Top Sirloin - Cap Off (means the cap has been removed, it is just top sirloin)



Because they cut the fat cap off on the Sirloin cap steak for some Brazilian things might have to improvise. But IME bacon can make up for a host of sins...

I've had a kilogram of "

$4 Lebre Thick Barbecue Salt - Sal Grosso para Churrasco - Lebre - 32.27 Ounce

Thick Barbecue Salt - Sal Grosso para Churrasco" since Nov. 8 waiting to find Picanha and think going to call this good enough for now.

Been cooking it for my son for almost a year now when they have it in stock but never had any myself. No wonder he likes it so much LOL. I grill his when I do a capsteak he doesn't like the capsteak and likes his cooked to shoe leather anyhow.

He also likes it buried in Montreal Steak Seasoning so no idea how beefy the meat taste, did 2 pieces tonight for him when I did my capsteak



See how it goes tomorrow around here but right now planning on using the Lebre salt with the rest of them. And of course bacon. And fire.

 

Where do you guys buy your tomahawk from? I've only seen it online..

 

Most butcher shops and even grocery stores around here sell them. Although apparently the Viking influence is strong in these parts, It is usually called a Viking Club at the grocery stores. Apparently giving the impression you could club someone to death that tried to take it from you.





In the Twin Cities Manny's Steakhouse is ranked one of the top 10 Steakhouses in the world. And they call theirs a Bludgeon of Beef for only $111.95. Already cooked of course. With no sides. Not that you would need any...

 

Thanks just a winter project can't wait to use it

 

Sams club around these parts.

 

Here is the last one I did from Sams.
