You are here!  Yeah, the only real rib left for me anymore...and to take it even a step further, and these beauties look like Beef Back Ribs, I want these and not those Dino Bones you see.  You know the ones I mean, the ones that look like a rib with a little steak attached to them!

This is how I use Flickr.

1. Click on your photo so that it opens it up on its own page (sorta)
2. There is an arrow in bottom right corner.  Click it.
3. Click on BBC Code.  Select Medium 640x480.
4. Press control C to copy the link.
5. Press control V to paste the link in your message.
6. I usually delete everything to the left of the bracket img and to the right of the ending img bracket
7. Picture should show up and be a decent size but not huge like those some are experiencing.

I'm still using the IMG tags for photos stored on Microsoft OneDrive* until this photo thing gets sorted out.  I'm not in a hurry for the photo fix 'cause my photos will stay on OneDrive until I quit using a computer.  Then I won't know when the link breaks (and probably won't care).

*We switched all hardware to Apple a while back but we still use MS Office and 1Gig OneDrive storage is included.

Sorry somehow missed this post. I don't save the butcher paper, I think this stuff is coated with wax or something. I think there is different kinds or grades of butcher paper, I have never wrapped a brisket yet but would love to do one as I like a softer bark

Have a friend in AA who celebrated 39 years of sobriety tonight, he is of German heritage, so I told him I would make my in famous Sour Cream/Blueberry Bundt w/Blueberry Cream Cheese frosting! 

So no cut photos.  I was afraid I would bruise the berries if I folded them to much, should have risked it cuz I believe they were not distributed as well in the batter as I would have liked, and I also think it was just slightly over cooked!  Or maybe they just congregated as it cooked, but I did dust in flour and I believe that was supposed to mitigate that issue!

I was impressed with the flavor!  You are correct, that is 39 Blueberries, but I believe that titbit was lost on all those ex oilers!

I do some at Thanksgiving, but just do it by "feel' so don't have a recipe.  I will try and measure this year.  But mine is always simple -- corn bread or store bought corn bread dressing box, sauteed onions and celery, chicken broth added until moist.  When I want to step out, I also add some sauteed fresh apple pieces and sometimes raisins.  Occasionally have added pecans when I really want to get wild!!

I will be honest, I don't know what a bacon explosion is.  I also don't know if there are formal definitions of these things, but this is my understanding:

fattie -- a solid chub of sausage usually sprinkled with a favorite rub, sometimes covered in a bacon weave.

stuffie -- a rolled out fattie which is then stuffed with your choice of "stuffing" (Bent has stuffed with scrambled eggs, pancakes, hash browns) and then rolled into a log and cooked.  Can also sprinkle with rubs or cover with a bacon weave.  Perhaps folks have some pic.

I also like those bacon bowls people use to make a lot.

We had a couple of friends over for the Labor Day holiday and made wood fired pizza (cherry wood) and a brined chicken in the SRG using GMG fruitwood pellets for smoke. We decided to do it differently this time - make 6-inch mini pizzas to share so each person could have a bite-sized slice while another pizza was cooking. It turned out to be lots of fun with plenty of chit/chat and enjoyment of being outside on the deck. 

We cooked the three pizza types below and then took orders for each person's favorite - everyone wanted to continue the sharing of each of the varieties, so we will do this kind of pizza party in the future.

These are the three pizzas we made this time:

My wife uses a crust preparation technique in which salt is on the bottom so when you take a bite, you get a nice salty crust flavor. All crusts were crisp yet tender - an advantage of cooking at 800 degrees.


Click the pics to toggle full/normal size

Cherry wood is the fuel for the day. It takes an
hour or two to bring the oven to temperature.
   Oven temperature was maintained at
about 800 degrees F (measure on the floor). Any
higher and it becomes difficult to keep from
burning the crust.

Post by: pz on September 06, 2017, 05:40:44 PM
Thanks gents - it is a fine way to entertain - folks are always anticipating a new treat, often something they have never sampled before, and the social mingling never ceases. Having the oven is fun because in addition to pizza, we've done crispy crust European bread, calzones, chicken, and others. Quite often we'll purchase a sack of tomatos on pizza day, halve and place them into a baking disk, sprinkle with Italian seasoning and into the cooling pizza oven when we are done with it for the day. We leave them in overnight and in the morning they are reduced to tomato "leathers", kind of like fruit leathers. The tomato flavor is concentrated into a sweet, savory, chewy treat that is typically gone before the day is done, even though our plan is to use them as a kind of sun dried tomato in cooking.

For anyone even thinking of doing one of these, it is well worth the effort in more ways than one. Not expensive at all to build one from scratch if you have some masonry skills.

So that is your masonry handiwork? ...... Is there a plan you used? Do specific sizes or proportions need to be maintained much like in building a masonry fireplace. It really look neat.
Title: Re: PelletFan Picture thread
Post by: pz on September 06, 2017, 06:14:03 PM
It kind of is Queball - I purchased a kit from a company called Firerock and it came in pieces in the kit. It came with the fire brick floor already constructed, and all the pieces to make the rounded dome and chimney - all I had to do was use the included high heat mortar to assemble, and then decide on whatever kind of shell I wanted to make it look reasonable. Because I have little in the way of masonry skills, I decided to make it look like an igloo with stucco. It works great and so far seems to look fine.

If I had to do it again, I'd probably research online plans to build an oven - I don't think you need to have a kit if you think you can work masonry.

The Pacific Northwest feels like it is on fire - this is the worst I have seen in 30 years, and I'm just so thankful there are no fires in my immediate area, however fires are found in all directions of the compass around our location.

A few days ago before it became so bad we were walking down our road and found a smoking cigarette butt on the asphalt - I cannot believe some idiot threw out a lit cigarette butt in conditions like this. It was only about 100 yards from home.  The Forest Service sign a couple of miles from home indicates fire hazard is "Extreme" the worst on their list. Today I put the fiver hitch back in the truck and made ready for a quick getaway, if needed.

I can't even go outside without sporting a full auto painters respirator - I've asthma, and the news reports that the conditions are "extremely unhealthy" yesterday the conditions were rated as "hazardous" (the worst rating they have in their list). It is a good thing I have plenty of inhalers. Now I know what my cheese feels like  :P

This is what it looks like on a relatively
clear day - not even the best day.
   This is what it looks like today - the haze
is actually better today than yesterday.
Cannot even see that there is a lake, let alone
mountains in the distance.

I was laid off from a job and my brother was a mechanic at a golf course so I used to go every day just to give him a hand for something to do and that was 25 years ago. I never took any courses or training,  I just stuck with it & worked my way up the ladder, my irrigation tech has been with me from the first day I got into this business & he is self taught as well. It is located along the Wascana Creek in the valley. The course is 18 years old, I helped build the course running a lot of the heavy equipment, we sodded the whole golf course

I believe this cook took 21 to 22 hours at 225°.This was not a Wagu brisket. This brisket was from my butcher it was  Aspen Ridge brand they call it a premium cut, I'm not sure what that means.

Queball I hate to admit it but this brisket was by far my best ever. My sister in-law who isn't a beef eater couldn't get enough. Now is it worth the price? For me no but I was lucky and got the brisket on sale. I believe I paid $75.00 for the brisket. For $75.00 it was well worth it.

The 11 or 12 year old from Fairfax Va. who wrote to Pres Trump and asked to be allowed to cut the White House lawn (he has his own lawn mowing business in Fairfax) said he wanted to charge the President his "regular" rate of $8, but his Dad convinced him to do it for free.  Maybe some of you folks saw him cutting the Rose Garden Lawn.  I saw Quadman750's "lawn". If I was you Quadman750, I get that kid's number and hire him immediately.  I think if you offered him $10, he would jump on it. ;D

Never seen a Pork Picnic picture of the start of a cook that almost looked like it was done to me...So, we learned that for film 101, if we want to make a pork shoulder look cooked, we rub molasses, Morton Seasoning Salt, and brown sugar on it!

Or maybe it is just me.

Meat counter in Toulouse France several years ago.  Horse meat.  None of it was marbled.  The beef available was also not marbled and all very poor.  The bakery goods on the other hand were unbelievable.

Only pig part I think is over rated is the tenderloin.  Unless it is braised, and has lots of good gravy, and is thin sliced, I don't like it.  It lacks the good fat that is present to flavor the rest of the pig.  I know I will get some real flak for the above. ?

This was my much loved 2004 Weber Genesis Silver B which I bought new and rehabbed in 2014 replacing all the innards.  On August 1, 2015 my area was hit with a microburst with winds up to 60 mph.  The result of which you see here is from a "Perfect Storm".  The grill wheels had never been oiled and it didn't want to roll and squealed when it did.  I was having a new deck built at the time and while the decking was done, the railing was not.  Two hours before the microburst hit I oiled those wheels and you could move that grill with one finger... or a 60 mph wind.  It did not survive the 9 foot drop test.

However, the frame was repurposed -

Hey, pz.  This is a new setup for the Bradley.  It used to get smoke from the puck feeder and one A-Maze-N 12" tube smoker.  This has been changed to this new setup where I can put 2 A-Maze-N 12" tube smokers in the toolbox below.  My wife likes heavy salmon smoke.  You can see it's first test Here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6S0BvXFNaI).

I can totally empathize with you. Just last month we were having our deck expanded, same scenario, railing off, microburst. Only I forgot to lock the wheels on my MAK2 star. Grabbed the cover less than 6" before it went over the edge. Won't do that again.  ???  ??? Thank goodness the wife called me to watch the storm and deck.

There are 3 one inch holes in the end of the toolbox and a magnet can cover any portion of them but I use the Bradley vent to control air flow. I don't have to bend down that way.

The first time I altered a pineapple corer. Didn't work to well in my opinion. Now I use a filet knife and core out length of knife from each end making the holes match. That happens to be Kountry Boy Sausage from Brenhem Texas. Home of our old friend. Sam's is carrying it now.

Looking awesome.

Concerning the pic being sideways. I can't say I understand the why and how's of this, but
I always save my pics to the desktop before posting as I was told this will cut down on the size automatically AND
I always open the picture and rotate it 360* one time and close it.  Just rotating it around back to its correct vertical position.
Then when I add it to a post it is never sideways! Go figure, but it works

You know, even at that high price if you got (as I do) 30 servings out of it you only be at about $3.21 a serving. Not bad for Goodness, not bad. But I understand not every one eats as small a serving as I do, so even if you double it, Can you get a 6 oz serving nearly as good eating out for $6.42. Don't think so. Again, Awesome.

It’s expensive but I only make it a couple times a year. I vacuum seal & freeze for future meals.

Ribs St. Louis cut, best yet result.  260* rubbed for two hours, (basted once at one hour); Then foiled with margarine, brown sugar, honey, apple juice for 1 hour. Then painted with Smokin "Blues" sauce and back on grill open for 40 minutes.  All at 260.  They were moist, clean bite off the bone and very tender. Total time 3hrs:40min. 
Rubbed, vacuum sealed and frozen several weeks ago.

I've tried most of them but this produces the best IMO ribs I have tasted.  A bit more work than Fast Eddies, but well worth it.  Fast Eddies are great but perhaps not as tender.  The one hour foiled seems to tenderize without loss of surface texture.  Then the 40 minutes open after saucing tends to firm up the surface a bit more.  You can vary the last part as needed to firm up the surface texture to your liking.  I like the sauce slightly sticky when I pull them, but not dry.  Let me know when you do them and how they turned out.   :bbq:

Well, I'm old so sometimes when I lift that hopper lid I can't remember what those pellets are.  So I devised a 2-part strategy to deal with this.  I made that star which tells me what flavor those pellets are.  The second part is that I use a scoop to remove pellets from the hopper.  The current pellets will have that pellet scoop in that pellet pail.  If these 2 things disagree, I check my smoke log but they almost always agree.

I've missed out on most of the Tri-Tip threads so I'll post last nights cook here.  A smaller one under two pounds.   Marinade in moppin sauce and garlic powder and a ton of black pepper (just what I had sitting around.)   Smoke for 90 mins.  IT was 110, reverse sear on the gasser for about 5 mins total.   I wasn't in a hurry to eat and had a lengthy rest.  Over 30 mins. 

I'm about every third week now on tri-tips.

Haven't done that. I think the first couple I tried called for malt powder. This recipe called for 2 tbs honey in the boiling water. I think whatever is called for in the water is just to promote browning when baked. May be other reasons that I'm not aware of. The honey seemed to do a good job.

Holy cow Free Mr. Tony, you take cooking to a whole new level. Wow!

Thanks. Once winter sets in, I'm always looking for cooking projects. Much more willing to spend all weekend messing around in the kitchen when it's 20 degrees outside.
Title: Re: PelletFan Picture thread
Post by: Bentley on December 16, 2017, 07:58:30 PM
The lye does promote color, but it is the outer texture and the chew factor that it imparts to the bake.  That and the sheen...

Hopefully the start to a wonderful Al's Chicago beef clone. I've made many versions of Italian beef. All good, but none just right. Did a little research on Al's process, and hopefully can make some magic.

Second, made some homemade mozzarella for the first time. Pretty simple process, and it tastes delicious. Going to use on some pizza later. Hoping it's not too watery.

Most beef places seem to use high gluten rolls. They really hold up to the dip in the gravy. I actually like more of a po'boy style bread. I like the residual juice from the beef, but I don't dip the bread. Just too xxxx messy. The texture of the high gluten rolls isn't as good to me, so I get these loaves from the Latin market. Crisp on the outside, and soft in the middle. Holds up the juice fairly well, but has a better texture to me.

Probably make them tomorrow. If anything to write home about, I will make a thread. Starting off super promising with the gravy flavor. Used a different recipe with tons of different spices, as the others I've used in the past were too one dimensional. The flavor after the beef was done was amazing. I also used to make the beef very rare so that it wouldn't overcook in the juice. Al's appears to cook theirs basically medium well to well then stews in the sauce until falling apart. I'm going that route this time for a change.

I've only had Al's one time so my recollection is foggy at best, but I do know what I'm looking for on general texture. I think well done version will give me more of what I'm looking for, and if the gravy is half as good tomorrow as my taste today I should be set.

Cooks it to 150ish, fridge overnight,  paper thin slices the next day. Stew in 165 degree gravy until serving. When they pull it out it just looks like beef scraps.

Nothing fancy but had to get 10# of jerky done.
180 is not the norm (too hot for normal jerky smoke) but it is getting a lot colder here and I have to be a tad impatient.
20 mph winds and 3 of them are perfectly chugging.
Looking at them reminds me how much I use them and how much I need to clean them. Oh well!

Pizza looks great. You say getting closer. What are you trying to improve upon. Looks like you got pretty decent top and bottom heat, which is usually the trickiest part on a grill.

Smoked some ribs, this past weekend. I chose St. Louis spares for a change up, as I usually cook baby backs and I wanted to try something different. Dry brined for 24 hours, then rubbed and on the MAK cruising at 275. Two hours later they had beautiful color so I spritzed them with apple cider vinegar and wrapped them in butcher paper; back on the grill meat-side-down at the same temp for the next hour and a half. They felt close to done so I cut away the butcher paper and lightly sauced and back on the grill to set for 30 minutes. They were wonderful! I'll be doing more spares in the future!

Yeah, it is probably not a a good plan for those that do the entire cook on the pit, or who just foil at the end.  It works for me, cuz I just judge when the bark is where I want and know it will mellow out in the pan for the rest of the cook.

These were just before going into pans with Gatorade and foil.  I have no idea how much molasses you are using, mine is a very light coat, maybe 1/4cup (3 Tbs) per butt.  Color is probably not the correct term either, I am truly looking for bark, just a hard outer piece of meat!

It is almost like the molasses hindered the smoke penetration.  How long after coming out of the cooker was the pulled picture taken?

Good point. These went until about 190 and then into a pan since it was an overnight cook. I’ll try again but pan earlier maybe?

The last 20# of bacon for the season went into the freezer, tonight. I've run out of time; my work is cranking until August or so, so my prime BBQ season is probably the inverse of most here, being fall and winter. The Canadian bacon is on the smoker right now, the last of the season. I'll try to squeeze in some more cures if I can, but I hate feeling so pressed for time while I'm doing it; kinda takes the fun out of it for me.

Since it was such a nice spring day here, it was time to cook a bit.
1. See the snow
2. 2 chucks and 3 back racks
3. Put one chuck in a broth bath in oven, other in peach butcher paper
4. Finished chucks
5. Biscuits and naner bread
6. Sous vide is great for fresh beans and sweet corn cut off cob at 186.

The butcher paper chuck was more tender and juicy than the one finished in a beef broth bath.

Do those chuck roasts become pulled beef or sliced beef?

Do those chuck roasts become pulled beef or sliced beef?

Last night was chunk sliced beef because I had too many things going at once to pull it before dinner. After dinner I pulled the rest of the more tender one by hand and chunked up the other into lunch containers per the wife's request. I'm looking forward to the pulled beef sandwich tonight for dinner.

Sorry I didn't get better finished photos of everything, but I was cooking almost all afternoon and evening by time I made homemade sauce and prepped veggies, etc. The butcher wrapped chuck and the banana bread were my favorites. The girls loved the ribs even though they probably would have scored horribly in a contest since they were starting to fall apart pretty easily.

Did a Sous Vide flank steak for the first time. Smoked at 180F for about an hour, then SV at 135 for about 5 hours, then chilled in ice water. The following day I seared - had planned to sear on cast iron griddle but forgot to put the griddle into the grill, so seared on the grates. Not as a good of a sear as I would have liked, but still very tasty. The most tender flank steak I've ever eaten.

Tried making pork belly, burnt ends style over a week back. They turned out really well. Can't really call them burnt ends, of course: wrong cut from the wrong animal - but the method was the same. So tender . . . my co-workers made 10# disappear in one sitting.

If that's directed at me, I smoked uncured bellies for about 2 hours at 225 after dusting with Sriracha powder, then cubed and panned with buffalo sauce at 375 until they were rendered.

There are some YouTube videos showing this. They added brown sugar and a stick of butter to it after about 3 hours and smoked for another hour or so.  Think my heart stopped a few times as I watched them add the butter to the pork belly.

Well, then you have permission to give yourself a big pat on the back, cuz I got the idea from you! And thanks to you, I may never ever be able to walk out of Costco without a belly in the box. In fact, I've got one in the fridge now and waiting to find the time to cure it and do the same thing - I think I may just die and go to heaven.

I had trouble getting everything to render properly.   It seems a higher temp finish is key.

I'm cooking for a baby shower this coming Saturday (30 people). I got these new Detroit style pizza pans a few weeks ago. Ever since, I thought they would be great to make some focaccia bread. Made several loaves this weekend to freeze, and make some mini sandwiches for the shower.

Used a higher hydration formula of my pizza dough. Triple rise. Topped with olive oil, Lakeshore drive seasoning, Italian herbs, and asiago cheese.

(https://i.imgur.com/vJXupuJl.jpg)

Baked at 400 for 25 mintues with pans directly on pizza stone.

Made Sous Vide short ribs again last night. These were USDA choice from Costco. SV at 131F for 72 hours, then chill in water bath. Sear, glaze and heat up in Memphis till IT of ~130F. If you haven't tried this, you gotta.  Super rich, beefy and tender.

I am doing some ABT's, and chili relleno this weekend to use the chili's up.  Will also make some chili Colorado, was gonna use chuck, but $25 for 4 pounds or a 13lb brisket for $43?  Just could not bring myself to pay that much for 4 lbs of meat!  So I am going to carve off 5lbs from the brisket and sous vide it.  I do not think it will taste as good as chuck, but I now know it will be tender, and if I nail the Colorado, it will at least be tasty!

I just went to the grocery store on Sunday morning to buy rolls and ended up with about $75 worth of meat - steaks, burgers, sausage, pork chops.  Almost all of them on sale and/or with a $3 off coupon on the package which equated to another $1-$3/# savings depending on the item.  Took about a weeks worth of meals in meat to my parents last night for them to cook.  I too couldn't pass up a good deal.

Yep.  The Rhine river runs from the Netherlands and stays close to Germany's western border (the current goes to the sea).  The area between the two is commonly called the Rhineland.  Residents who emigrated to Pennsylvania were known as the Pennsylvania Deutsch (German), which became Dutch.  So, if we hadn't corrupted the language (by accepting the incorrect use—still happening today*), they would be know as Pennsylvania Deutsch.

I did buy one of these to use when I make jerky to keep me on task.  You can set your own recording for what the alarm is when it goes off.  I plan to speak into it and say something like "check jerky on the MAK at noon" on alarm 1 and "check jerky on Memphis at 12:30" on alarm 2, "check jerky on small dehydrator at 3pm" on alarm 3, and "check jerky on big dehydrator at 4pm" on alarm 4.

So glad we got rid of our deep fryer.  I've done chicken breasts (throw BBQ rub on them and probably the best I've had for flavor. It really locks in the moisture.) , left over pizza, day old McDonald fries (you need to try it), tater tots, cinnamon rolls, etc. The best Mother's Day gift I ever gave my wife! 
She was not happy when I got for her, but it didn't take but using it twice for her to love it.

Try putting plain kettle cooked potato chips in it at 200° for 5 minutes, shake, run for another 5 minutes.  Pull out basket and shake some rub on them while hot and flips them in a stainless bowl.  I made some with spaghetti seasoning, garlic sriracha seasoning, and a few others.  My buddy showed me how to do it.  I may never buy a bag of flavored chips again.

Nothing crazy, just a chicken.  But I can’t get over how good these things are. So crispy and juicy every time. It’s nearly fool proof if you don’t forget it’s on the grill. And you can feed the family for nearly the cost of a happy meal!

I smoked it at 225 for 30 minutes and then about 385 degrees until done. The breasts were in the mid 160’s and the thighs were mid 170’s.

Hey TravlinMan,

Thanks for the tip to try a different browser.  I have tried both Internet Explorer/Edge and Firefox, and I get the same results.  On this page of posts, I see several pictures from Clonesmoker, Bar-B-Lew, and Ralphie.  Then I get to Bentleys post, and his picture does not load.  It really seems like it's something in the way Bentley posts pictures, but I sort of doubt he does something out of the ordinary.

Title: Re: PelletFan Picture thread
Post by: jgrayson on August 19, 2019, 03:36:58 PM
Bentley is posting using imgur.com, an image hosting site.  The other photos are using Pelletfan's attachment capability.  The benefit of imgur is that you can type some text, then place an image link, then more text, and then another image, etc.  Attachments go at the end of your post and are hosted on Pelletfan's server/service.

As to why you cannot see the imgur.com images, I do not have an easy answer.  They should show as Bentley has "shared" those to everyone.  I can only think that maybe an anti-virus setting/software thinks imgur.com is evil, or a firewall setting is blocking them for some reason. 

Try going to https://i.imgur.com/MJvrrv4h.jpg.  If you cannot view the image posted there, that would say my ideas may be correct.  Hope that helps.

Thanks for this explanation!  I clicked on your link to imgur, and the page does not open.  I'm access the site from work, and I suppose my employer is blocking imgur.  I do see pictures from Bar-B-Lew, so his use of Flickr is permissible according to my employer.

Mudflap - thanks for helping out.  I also can not see your picture, so you are on the same team as Bentley. 

I'll spend some time trying to find a way to get to imgur without getting in trouble.
Title: Re: PelletFan Picture thread
Post by: jgrayson on August 21, 2019, 04:54:56 PM
I’m glad the mystery is solved.  Since you are at work, I’ll bet there is a firewall device between the internal network and the external, internet world.  Many of these devices have automated “blacklist” subscriptions that the firewall vendor provides to block what are supposedly known bad web sites.  Whatever IT support your company has should be able to “whitelist” imgur.com.  Unless, of course, there is an explicit reason they have blocked it.

Good luck!

Thanks for your help with figuring this out.  I asked one of the tech guys at work, and he responded with something about imgur having a lot of porn on it.  I've never used imgur, but I would be surprised if it had a significant amount of porn that wouldn't be found on other picture sharing sites.

Anyway, I'm on PelletFan while working from home today.  This is the same computer I use at the office, and when I look through PelletFan  while not connected to the work IT systems I do see Bentleys pictures.  Problem solved.  I'll have to connect to PelletFan away from the office if there is a picture I want to see.

Did not have any Clams in the house so...For me, the 61-70 count shrimp are the ones to use for PoBoy.  They sure cook faster and stay in the sandwich better!

The reason I asked is I seem to remember that typically you wet cure (probably yet another sign of aging on my part).
How long did you cure it for? Also did you sample it for saltiness and have to soak it also?
It truly looks real good.

I used to do nothing but Wet, that is now saved for Corned Beef. 

I did not dry it for the pellicle.  I took out of fridge and bags after 10 days, rinsed for about 10 seconds in the sink and put on the Memphis. I sliced a few pieces off and fried up to put on pizza, was pretty good.  Its in the freeze now and will slice it in about 2 hours.

It is simple laziness that prevents me from doing it in the Memphis.  Everything is already cooked when it goes in the oven, I guess the potatoes might take on a smokiness.

Post by: pmillen on June 02, 2020, 10:54:03 AM
 :2cents:

I think it'll take smoke, cooked or uncooked, and at any temperature as long as it's a bit moist to "catch" the smoke.

A lot of people believe that food stops taking on smoke at a certain temperature.  It's easy to test that.  Let the food get to that temperature (or above) in the kitchen oven,  put it in the smoker and spritz it.  See if it takes on smoke flavor.

There is a point where food stops taking on more smoke flavor.  It's when the surface is dry.  People that observed that no more smoke flavor was added after a certain point attributed it to the food's temperature rather than the surface condition.

whats the deal with the battery charger

We felt that this one, which came with the golf cart, used, was not perhaps charging the full charge for the cart overnight.  So Bent bought a new one and put in the garage for overnight charging and brought this around and plugged in on the patio.  He uses the cart a lot during the day and will then just buzz up to the patio door and leave the cart sitting there for some of the hottest hours of the day. So we thought we could also use this one to charge it when it sits in back.

Post by: Bentley on June 23, 2020, 03:11:55 PM
I wanted more of a hand tossed mouth feel dough.  I guess it would be more of a what I would consider thick crust style, a softer type.  Actually more of a hybrid between what I call a thick crust and a NY style.  Pretty sure to achieve it I should have lowered the hydration of the dough since I wanted to "bake" it more then "grill" it.  It was a good looking pizza, just not the crust I was looking for.  To be honest, I am not even sure how to articulate it!  But I am going to try a regular AP flour with "normal" amount of yeast and 50% hydration and see if I get the results I want.  Also gonna cook it about 500°.

There's a small restaurant in Owensboro that sells chiliburgers, but I've never had one with cheese. Don't like cheese in my chili....

And see, I am that way with chili fries, which are non existent in Mayberry and pretty much the Mid Atlantic as far as I can tell.  I just want fries, chili and heavy onions, cheese would ruin it.   But on the West Coast, most people want Chili Cheese Fries!

 Poutine originated in our neighbouring province of Quebec where it remains as a staple to this day.  The original was fries, curds + gravy. High on taste, saturated fat + calories.

 The original concoction has led to several many variations such as vegetarian,(usually onions and green peppers added to the mix).   The evolution parallels pizza  with all the toppings and crusts.  It's not

uncommon to see a long list of many poutine selections on a menu.

 One thing a good poutine must contain is freshly fried French fries + fresh cheese curds..

And this is what type of gravy?

Just a simple brown gravy mix (or homemade) is all you need.  Cheese curds on top is traditional but I like to add shredded cheddar.  A friend uses country gravy and eats it for breakfast, but he's a hard-core Flin-Flonite and he's never turned down a meal of anything.

(I can write that 'cause I don't think he reads PelletFan.  He roughed me up more than once when we were young and he's not changed much.)

I've made many iterations of these over the years. The inspiration came from a guy named "Old Dave" on pelletheads. To my knowledge, he did not migrate over to here. Basically, it's just breaded wings that are smoked/baked on your pellet grill. I've used several different sauce/spice combos but they always hit the spot.

Costco has them made up ready to cook with ground beef, cheese and other ingredients. They come I believe 6 in a box.  We keep them in the freezer and just take two at a time to cook.  Near the end of the cook, we add our favorite Prego spaghetti sauce over the top and serve hot from the oven. Makes a great easy meal.  They use three or four different color of peppers. The peppers are really good after they are cooked.   :clap:

They also have rice inside. We started the sauce because we thought they were not tasty enough and a little dry when they come out of the oven. Makes a big difference.  Usually put a large serving spoon of our favorite sauce on top of each about 10 minutes before pulling from oven. (like putting chili on a hot dog).

Brisket cook last weekend. Cost $2.81 per lb at Restaurant Depot.

The thing I did differently this time is I only used salt and pepper for the majority of the cook. Then I applied the rub when I wrapped it in foil.

It really enabled me to taste the flavors of the rub ingredients more clearly. Reduced the burned/bitterness flavor that can sometimes be characteristic of the bark.

Nothing fancy last night. Brined a spatchcock chicken for 8 hours in a honey brine I made. Brine was simple 4 cups of water, salt, a little brown sugar, honey, 10 peppercorns, four bayleaf and a dash of Oakridge Smoke chili and lime rub. I did use about a cup of ice to begin the cool down process. Brine went in fridge to complete the cooldown. Chicken into a 2 gallon plastic bag, cool brine poured over. Took bird out after about 8 hours, and rinsed the bird under cold water while the pit was heating up. Patted bird dry with paper towel and rubbed with RT Greek Rub. On the pit at 220 with extreme heat mode for 90 minutes. Cranked pit up to 400 (leaving the bird on while it continued to heat up), for about another 45-50 minutes. Pulled when probe in thigh was 167 and breast was 169. I have not made one in a while, great flavor, very moist and an overall good simple cook.

Costco St Louie with rub already applied.  The time got away from me doing the golf cart so I am doing them at 300° on the Memphis Pro.  They went on about 2pm, they were rotated 180° and change shelves at 3:30.  Hoping they will be tender at about 5:30.  If they are, will reduce setting to smoke and apply sauce for 30 minutes.

Nothing but cooking.  At the 3 hour mark (5pm) I turned the pit down to 200° and applied sauce.  I think they would have been perfect if I had just taken them off at 5, I think the 45 minutes at 200° made the smaller end a tad over cooked.  They were enjoyed by all.  I am done with low n slow and foil!

The pork belly was approximately 3 lbs. Skin removed before cooking. This slab was a nice uniformed thickness from end to end.

Seasoned it with a nice store bought rub.
Smoked it at 225 degrees until 165 internal temp (or close to it). Squirted with apple juice a few times along the way.
Wrapped in foil with about half cup of apple juice and bbq sauce on top. I eyeballed these amounts.
Increased grill temp to 275 until meat temp hit high 190’s.
Unwrapped and returned to grill, basted with store bought Chipotle Apple BBQ sauce and let it set for about 10-15 minutes.

Slice and eat.

It was delicious and fork tender but very rich.

Ralphie!  Pork belly is usually sliced into bacon, right?

That doesn't look at all like bacon.  It looks like a delicious hunk of pork when it's BBQd and sliced differently.

What am I missing, here?
Title: Re: PelletFan Picture thread
Post by: Ralphie on October 05, 2020, 11:03:50 PM
Same cut of pork but it is not cured and pre-smoked like bacon. It’s a fresh cut of meat and I treated it somewhat similarly to a rack of ribs with the cooking method.
I also did not cut it along the edge where bacon is typically cut (for no particular reason). Next time I will cut in the same direction as sliced bacon.

For the sauce, I bought it at a local grill supply store called Grillbillies. It’s a sweet bbq sauce with body. Something you would typically brush on ribs if you like sauced ribs.
I could taste the apple but not as much chipotle as I expected. Probably not enough chipotle to warrant the name, honestly. You will see from the ingredients list that maybe it comes from the “spices”.

Regardless, I really liked the sauce. But for you chipotle fans...you may want to throw a chipotle pepper in there to give it some oomph.

I love meat loaf cooked in the smoker.

What do you mean by "textured"?
Title: Re: PelletFan Picture thread
Post by: Bentley on December 28, 2020, 03:47:40 PM
Just the consistency of the meat.  It seems lately that my meatloaf has had cracks when cooked.  It has been crumbly, and just not sturdy for lack of a better term.  I have started using oatmeal instead of bread crumbs, and I bought a new spice grinder and am running it through that.  It comes out almost as powder.  I have also started mixing the meat and spices with the Kitchen aid (I guess a big no no with Alton Browns meatloaf) and am really pleased with the results.  This was also the Safeway, USDA Select Rib Roast with 35% fat added.  I was very please with the taste.  Had a couple of cheeseburgers made with the blend too, and they were wonderful!

I've never had a McRib.  My dad loved them but he was an "Old country peasant" and admired USA successful business people.  I loved him dearly but his judgement was alway clouded by sentimentality.  His big heart ran roughshod over his mind.

The best man in my wedding was part of a focus group on a new McDonald's product that was called a pork sandwich. It was released as the McRib.

I'll pass on the McRib. When I go to McDonald's my expectations are set low, and that is what I want. Regular small hamburgers, chicken McNuggets, and very occasionally a Big Mac.

I have not been to McDonald's in quite awhile. The line is too long at the drive through.

There was one BBQ sandwich far more gross than a McRib; it was Rally's RallyQ.(They haven't sold this stuff in years, thank goodness. Probably a class action lawsuit involved, somewhere.) When I worked there in the 80's, they used to make them with leftover burgers and this BBQ pork mixture that we had to thaw out. Kept it in a steam pan, and scooped it out on a bun and topped with pickles to serve. We'd serve a bunch of them during Owensboro's BBQ festival, and I would just shake my head.....  ::)

What a coincidence, I'm in the process of fixing ribs from Christmas for tonight's supper, if they turn out half as good as yours I'll be tickled to death. These were sous vide for 40 hours at 134° and frozen. This evening I'll smoke to ~160°, sauce and then cook for another half hour or so.

A 55 year member of the Brandy Station Vol Fire department passed away, so we are cooking for the memorial meal they are having tomorrow.  Kristin's menu was Wood Roasted Pork Loin in a Orange Infused Brown Sugar rub.  With an Onion Au Gratin potato and Green Beans w/Bacon.

Simply could not get all 45lbs of Pork Loin on the Memphis, so the little 3 & 5 pounders had to be done in the oven after being seared on the Memphis Pro.

You two are quintessential supportive residents.

Those pork tenderloins look better than any I've ever cooked.  The recipe sounds wonderful.  Are you able to share it?
Title: Re: PelletFan Picture thread
Post by: Bentley on January 22, 2021, 02:22:05 PM
I was just embellishing the menu.  As we were taking about brown sugar and clumping in another thread, I told Kristin to put some Orange peels in the bag to soften it up.  It worked better then even I thought it would.  So I was trying to be all Michelin Star about it and make it sound better then it is.  Hence the Orange Infused Brown Sugar rub.  I can tell you this:

Take half an Orange Peel and put in bag of brown sugar for 6 days.
Mix 1/2 cup of that Brown Sugar with 3Tbs Garlic Powder and 1/2 cup salt.  Rub 7 lb Pork Loin generously (I would urge anyone to truss for uniform cooking).
Sear loin on all sides for 5 Minutes and then roast meat at 350 till IT is your desired temperature.  This was pulled at 125° and carried to about 137°, still a little low for me, but it will be reheated in a large warming tower for 2-3 hours at 160° which will hopefully come out around 155° by serving time.

Loins were brined in a 3% solution for 24 hours (in this case large ice chest with 2gallons of water, 1 cup salt & 1 cup white sugar).

Kristin is in charge of Green Beans & Au Gratin potatoes, I will ask here to post that if you have any interest!

I think my truss work is getting better.

My advice is skip to about the 4:30 mark of the video.  Before that is just trimming of a tenderloin.  A couple of comments, never seen clarified butter that looks like water and that is the correct amount of butter to have on bread!

The Cold Smoking I do with what I guess they now call the Blaz'n Smoker Pro.  The hot I just set the Memphis Pro at 180° and cook to the IT.

I haven't posted pics of much here for a while, so thought I'd share a few pics of my past few months with the MAK. The SmokeFire journey was kinda fun, but dealing with the cycles of things working, breaking, working, breaking with firmware updates I decided that I needed a little more predictability and reliability and decided there wasn't much else left to try and it was time to buy another quality US made pellet grill.

I'm very happy with the MAK so far. It's doing it's job very well. After having the CampChef and the SmokeFire, I'm amazed out how efficient the MAK is. I haven't done any scientific tests and no longer have the old subject to compare to if I wanted, but I swear the SmokeFire burned 2-3 times the pellets for the same cooks at the same temps. Anyway, here's a few of the prettier cooks I've put out over past 3 months with it along with one charcoal cook snuck in since turned out so pretty and the first time I've ever done flank steak fajitas (usually just order fajitas at a restaurant). The flank steak was Prime from Creekstone Farms, just because I really never see flank and skirt steak at local stores.

So, you have enchiladas using Hatch canned enchilada sauce (great stuff), steak fajitas, beef short ribs and reverse seared chops w/sear done on Weber Traveler (my wife and daughter won't eat beef ribs), an Italian sausage fatty stuffed with mozzarella and sweet peppers, and a simple halved yard bird.

No need for it yet. I know i could do more jerky, sausage, etc. but my family doesn’t eat those. I also don’t do that big of cooks anymore. However, it was one of the reasons I went 2 star over the 1 star as if I ever decided I needed it I could add it down the road. The warmer box at least let’s me try it out on a smaller scale. I believe I remember seeing you do both jerky and sausages in the past, so can see why you’d love it.

No, no you wouldn't.

People who do not like cooked fruit pies really should not attempt to make cooked fruit pies.  And, if they choose to do so regardless, they would do well to consult those who both like cooked fruit pies and know how to make award winning cooked fruit pies. :pig:

45 years ago, Backpacker Magazine published an article that stated, after a comprehensive study, "There's no surface water on earth that is safe to drink untreated."

It's also not a good idea to put rocks that have soaked in water in a fire.

I would have to disagree with them, at least at that time period.  That is about 5 years before I started to backpack the Sierra-Nevada on a regular basis.  I would drink from streams like the one in that video all the time with no issue over a period of about 15 years.  But, you were advised by National Park Service personal that Giardia was a possibility and you should filter, boil or use chemical agent to sterilize water.  But we were usually so high up and away from everything just never did it.  Many of them looked like that run!

Blackberry's have been done for about a month, but man are the Raspberry's producing this year!  This is about 2lbs.  I think berries are normally sold as pints or quarts, so not sure how that equates.  The canes have to be picked about every 3-4 days and this is what they produce.

I just saw regular for $4.30 and diesel for $5.50.
I'm fortunate is that aspect for putting gas in vehicles.
Between wife and , we don't put 1000 miles on a year for both vehicles combined.
Wife's car is a Volt and gets 30-42 miles all electric before switching to gas.
I drive my truck about once every 4 to 6 weeks just to keep battery charges.
Never fill up either vehicle since the gas would go bad before we use it.
That is the problem with the hybrid, if the gas is getting stale, the car forces gas use.
Kinda defeats the purpose of having electric.

If I did fill my truck, I'd be over $100 as well. It has a 32 gal tank.

When a salad is eaten as an entrée, then a dinner folk is used for the salad and placed accordingly..  If dessert is also to be served a dessert fork and/or dessert spoon is placed above the plate to signal is is for that course. The small fork above the plate was for dessert.  We had friends for dinner a few weekends back and when Bent offered him more meat he said no, that he had seen the fork above his dinner plate and hope it signal dessert would be served.  It was!!!

Dinner etiquette can get a bit ridiculous when you are left handed.

I was at a nice restaurant many years ago (the same place where I got my original gazpacho recipe).

I moved my water glass to my left side because I drink with my left hand.

Each time I moved my water glass, the waiter moved it back until I specifically requested that he allow me to keep it on my left side.

It was an amusing dance which went on for several cycles before the waiter reluctantly agreed to leave my glass alone.

I was young and he probably though he was teaching me a lesson in etiquette.

I also eat with my fork in my left hand. I have also had folks try to tell me which hand to hold my fork with.

LOL!  No, I was just raised in a household that did a lot of formal entertaining and I was taught out of Emily Post from a very young age.  Also, a somewhat sexist upbringing (surprising since my Mom was something of a feminist) in that the boys did not need to learn these things, but my sister and I did because we would be the hostess someday! So, I know no more than 5 wine glasses are allowed at a place setting at one time and what wine goes in each glass and what all the odd little shaped cutlery are for and where they should be placed!  I am just a fount of etiquette knowledge, a dinosaur anymore.

Have not made pig candy in awhile.  Made some 10:1 with Jalapeño powder.  I like a 6:1, but this was a test to see how hot 10:1 was for use as a possible finger food for a wedding in September!  This was a from a 10lb case of thin cut.  It cooked well, should have take a picture of the whole slices, but did not think about it.  Took it to a meeting, folks have never heard of Pig Candy, much less tasted it.  They liked very much too!



Bentley,
I am planning on making some in a couple weeks and was wondering what temp did you cook it at ?

I made pig candy recently, started at 160° for 1/2 hour then 225° for ~1/2 hour, turned over for another ~1/2 hour, then bumped temp. up to 300° until done. Turned out very good.

In the oven on a wire rack at 350° for 28 minutes.

I thought I knew all things Traeger. My friend  Bill pulls this out and it had a Traeger plate on it.

 "Live & learn".  That's new to me as well...   Is there any history  related to it?

Said he bought it at the meat market in Fresno. I don't think it's that long ago so I don't think it's that old they sell triggers

Cooked these for a charity cook yesterday. 8 Butts, took about 14 hours total on the series 7. Rested them for about 2 hours and then we shredded them and made pulled pork egg rolls to serve at the charity event.

Good looking butts. Hard to beat pork butts for price and ease of smoking.

I've been really impressed with the series 7 since I got it. My main cooker is still my Grid Iron, but I just wanted to keep pushing to the 7 to see what it can do. It's really only the 4th or 5th cook on it overall. So far it has been great.

I am a Cynic by nature, but I have to believe Alcohol was involved!  At least they got to watch the 10 seconds of Fireworks when they looked at the video!  This is one of the best screw ups I have seen in a long time!

That is quite the grand finale! I laughed, but only because I may know those folks, or at least their kindred spirits!!

I imagine all those going off in the back if the SUV didn't improve the looks of the interior.

That looks like something that would happen to me.  And yes, alcohol would be involved. :rotf:

Wasn't sure where to put this one.  I don't eat seafood so I didn't get any, and we were in the middle of a walking tour that was taking us through Portobello Market in Camden area of London when we passed this paella stand.

This was also at Portobello Market and near the end of the day.  Not sure what they were going to do with all of those chips.

This was probably the most unique picture I took on the whole trip.  We were coming into Positano (sp), as you can see by a few of the other pictures it is on the Amalfi Coast and steep.  This was an old, small fishing village I was just lucky enough to get a shot of as the bus went around the curve.  I was just amazed that you would have a few homes built into the mountain.  You wake up, go down to the pebble beach, get in your boat and go to work!

The guide said this would have been the entrance to the Hustler store in Pompeii.

Did you guys stay in Amalfi?  We were just there last year, absolutely beautiful.  Had my fill of lemon sorbet for sure.
