Everything smoking...meat smoking !! Tips, tricks, and recipes + (poll added)

Tri tip tacos are awesome. I’ll cut it up fine and mix it with eggs as well.

 

This is making me crave some BBQ!!!
Know what I'll be doing next weekend!!!
Really Pissed!!!
Someone stole my Pitts&Spitts out of the backyard!!!!
$2500 hundred dollar Smoker Gone!!!
Have a pretty good idea who did it but it's worth it,he stopped coming around right after it disappeared.
Dude was a sponge!!!
He'd show up at the house and drink all my beer!!

 

thats a heavy ass pitt to just take. may have had some buddy with him too. he must have drank a shitload of beer for you to say oh well over a 2500 dollar pit

 

The guy mows lawns for a living so he pulls a trailer everywhere he goes and it has a ramp.
Which of course makes even more obvious he's the one who stole it.
We do have someone who mows our yard but they've been doing it for years and nothing has ever come up missing.
That and he stopped calling and dropping by unannounced right after it disappeared.
So yeah,he stole it.
And like I told the Wife.....it's worth it if it made him stop coming over constantly.
Besides,I had two pits and the one he stole doesnt perform as well as my other pit.

 

Have you tried wrapping your brisket in pink butchers paper?
When you get your bark set wrap it up till it's finished.
Be sure and unwrap it at the end so your bark will set up again.
That usually takes about a half hour.
The vast majority of the smoke flavor happens in the beginning when the meat isnt sweating yet.
Just experiment with it till you find the sweet spot.
Dont want to wrap it too soon or you wont get any of the smokey flavor you're looking for.

 

Yeah...I'll never forget discovering the reverse sear.
So simple yet it works so well.

 

Oops..
Going back I see you already addressed that.
So nevermind....

 

Almost did that for breakfast this morning, but the birthday boy requested German pancakes instead. Guess I'll come home for lunch tomorrow and make some. For now, I have secreted the small remaining portion of tri-tip in the back corner of the fridge where two of the kids can't see it... unfortunately for me, they are like bloodhounds tracking a scent whenever they know there's smoked meat in the fridge. Haha.

 

Birthday boy? It’s my birthday today as well. Big 4 0. Strips for the wife and I and sirloins for the kids plus an extra for breakfast tomorrow. Wife is making roasted potatoes/onions/mushrooms/garlic along with corn on the cob and some homemade peaches and cream desert. Not quite the Italian cream cake she usually makes but should still be delicious.

 

Happy birthday to me.

 

Happy birthday

 

Love roasting whole garlic!!
Then squeeze it out on a piece of french bread or just eat the garlic by itself!!!

 

One of my favorite things to eat.

 

Myself!!
There's a type of garlic called if I remember correctly elephant garlic or something like that.
The skin is purplish and the cloves are HUGE!!
Easily 4 or 5 times the size of a normal large garlic clove!!

 

Had that before. It was good.

 

Smoking pork butts, got a late start middle afternoon. Probably 2 to 3 more hours to go. First time in a pellet smoker, but I’ve done a lot of them in an Egg. Gonna flip them over.

 

No need to flip, IMO. But they sure look tasty...
