I've done it on a MES but those are stupid easy to get at a low enough temp for jerky, I pulled out the tube for chips and taped a computer style fan on the side and it ended up working almost exactly like a dehydrator.

Interesting. Did you use something else for smoke?

Nah, I just loaded the chip tray beforehand instead of using the side chute to put in chips.

Even when doing normal smoking, i forgo the chute and pull out the chip tray and just put chips in there when I'm checking on the meat. The chute is kinda dumb.

Just do the pork belly burnt ends if you don't wanna do a full packer.

I cut the butter and extra sugar by about half, and thickend up the sauce real good.
I added one spoonful (less than 1/8c) of the pork drippings/fat/braise liquid to the sauce for a bit of flavor.

Doing something new today: rubbing a pork shoulder with mustard (like bottled not powder) before applying the rub. Some blog said it helps the rub penetrate/stick better.

I figure the worst that can happen is the pork BBQ tastes mustardy, which is not a big deal.

The worst will happen -- nothing in mustard is going to help it penetrate, and IME it doesn't stick any differently than with just water or oil -- but as you say it's a fine outcome.

I tend to agree that mustard as a slather doesn't really help in any discernible way from what I can tell, but I've also never had anything wind up with the slightest hint of mustard afterwards either.

I did the beer and BBQ YouTube kamado guys recipe and used tomato paste and they sucked, I'm retooling that recipe the most disappointed dish I've made so far.

Pretty sure it was the paste that threw it off. Also I used more peppers and there was still no decernable heat.

I end up usually doing it the night before, slicing the brisket the next day while cool and firm from the fridge, and then re-heating it to serve while basting with even more of the mustard/brown sugar glaze. It's loving amazing and basically guarantees you will not have leftovers.

Oh yeah that beans recipe called for like a bottle of mustard for 2 pounds that also threw the taste off I think with the tomato paste.

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



Anyone got a recommendation for a good quality, sturdy charcoal chimney that will last a while? I am on my second one of whatever line they sell at Home Depot, and the arm mechanism to drop the coal is so thin/cheap that it warps with heat and I am lucky to get a full season out of it before it bends beyond the point to support the weight of the coals.

Yeah I got a weber one as well and I can't imagine it ever breaking. There's no mechanism for dropping the coal, you just turn it over. It's solid and indesctructable.

Jerky turned out real good. Cooked way faster than I anticipated -- I was using Meatheads recipe (https://amazingribs.com/tested-recipes/beef-and-bison-recipes/home-made-beef-jerky-recipes) that says expect 6-12 hours for drying, but I pulled mine off the grill after like 3-4 hours of drying at some temp kinda oscillating between 140 and 170. Maybe I just like my stuff a little softer. Probably worth being careful with spoilage in case I pulled it to early, but it tastes hella good.

Making it as a gift for a cat sitter for when I'm out of town next week. I was going to wait to give it to him when I leave next friday, but I'm going to give it to him today instead because it's so snackable that if it stays in my house between now and then I'm gonna end up eating all of it.

It popped up in an ad on Facebook ( :tinfoil: ) and I couldn't help but stare in amazement/horror.

The reviews mention that it can't keep temp well in the main chamber, and can't do hot smoking at all in the side chambers without extra heat from charcoal or something.

Also apparently when the hopper gets low, it has a habit of letting the burning pellets ignite the ones in the hopper bin, which caused at least one person's machine to just die.

Another mentioned that he discovered that the igniter had gone bad when the grill started shocking him every time he touched it.

I'm going to make some beef ribs for a get together in a few weeks and tried making them for the first time today. I pulled them about an hour and a half after this picture, rested an hour-ish in foil/towel, and served. I made a mistake and used Montreal steak seasoning and it was borderline too salty, but otherwise fantastic. My friend and his kids killed the rack before I even thought about taking a proper post-cook picture.

Somehow the only place in town that has short ribs is Whole Foods. I trimmed off the thick parts of the cap, but it was still pretty fatty overall.
