Ugh I’m going back down this rabbit hole and need advice.

I currently have an MES30 and boy i fuckin hate cleanin that thing. It smokes stuff great when you add a tube, but i might be in the same boat soon too.

Im probably not goin pellet grill since i already have a propane grill. Im probably leanin towards a stick burner, but i think what ill save in cleaning ill spend on wood and tending fire.

Sorry, i know this doesnt help you. Just wanted to commiserate on cleanin ol sparky short stack.

Forgot to cover the smoker last night before bed and woke up to an inch of snow. Doh! At least my cover didn't blow away.

Now that I have like 15lbs of leftover smoked brisket does anyone have any recipes I can use this stuff on?

I was trying to find a smoked brisket pasta recipe but I didn’t see anything that looked fantastic.

I usually have to scrub the racks and water/grease trap with sos pads. My dish washer just makes all these items rusty. I should buy new racks. The interior i hose out about once every 6 months and scrub where needed.

Freeze it up in whatever portion size makes sense for your situation and just sub it in anywhere you might used shredded or braised beef

Tacos
Enchiladas
Sloppy Joes
Shepherd's pie
Chili
Scrambled eggs
Hash
Eat it with your bare hands out of the fridge at 3AM

Get a baguette and make the best drat French dip of your life

Make beef tallow with your trimmings the thread said.

I just spent the last hour failing repeatedly to strain the small junk from the tallow for about half a cups worth :negative:

(It was my fault as I was trying to be too perfect. Plus the cheesecloth wasn't very effective at straining. And in futzing with it all the jar slipped out of my hand once. Just a comedy of errors lol. But I know what to do next time!)

Brisket ragu is a thing. It might be better over polenta or something though because it does retain some BBQ flavor profile which is a little odd with pasta.

But yeah, vacuum seal that poo poo, freeze it and eat it all the time with everything.

Looking forward to restocking the fridge when I do one soonish.

Definitely need a vacuum sealer at this point.

This recipe is pretty banging. I’d add more asparagus but it was easy and great.

Mix a saucy brisket with bowtie pasta, asparagus and grape tomatoes. This Pulled Brisket & Bowtie Pasta recipe is a dish really fantastic for reinventing leftovers.

I added the cold brisket to the veggies and then mixed in the pasta to cover everything in the brisket juice / oil.

I've found this recipe to be a very good chilli recipe. The sauce base is what makes it so good, so you can also tweak everything else to personal preference.

I would recommend adding the meat toward the very end of the cooking otherwise it will just disintegrate due to already having been smoked.

I've been doing some looking online and I'm not sure if what I am reading is correct or not. I want to smoke some ribeyes tomorrow. They are a little over an inch thick and about 1lb each. Everything I read said it would take about an hour to get to med-rare (ish) does that sound right? I'm still trying to get the timing right on things.

Any advice? I was going to smoke them for a bit then turn the grill up and sear them.

Yeah that’s about right. Don’t go by time though - use a thermometer and pull it a few degrees under your target temp. When you sear them, make sure whatever you’re using is hot as hell.

A pellet grill doesn’t get hot enough in my opinion. My Traeger only goes to 500F, for example. Some grills have an open fire pot for direct heat though.

I do a smoke and reverse sear for ribeyes. Get it nice and smoky at as low as you can get it. Which is 200 to 225 for me and smoke until 100 F internal. Pull and let rest while cranking it up as high as you can go. Once the grill is super hot quick sear both sides, pull and let rest.

Uses a fair amount of charcoal (I’m using a slow and sear so about one chimney) but gives great results.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...
I’ve smoked them before and used the oven too (prior to using the grill to sear). I don’t notice a huge difference. Cast iron to sear also works well too.
