I bought these today at the Home Depot. They were on clearance for $4.60 for a 20 lbs. bag. I brought the last two. Has anyone tried these? Are they any good? I didn’t open the bag yet. I thought I’ll asked the pros here before I open the bag.
If I get positive comments, I plan to use these in my Weber Searwood 600 XL.
This was my first time making pork belly bites aka burnt ends. Turned out amazing with room for improvement.
Mustard binder and a rub concocted on the fly. Started at 255°F and worked up to 325°F at the end of the cook. Cubed, panned and sauced 2/3rds of the way through a 6.5hour smoke. Smoked with competition blend pellets and using a smoke tube on a Traeger Ridgeline XL.
Sauce was maple syrup, honey, butter, worchestershire, more rub, apple cider vinegar and a bit of some home made Jamaican Jerk bbq sauce I wanted to use up.
Served on some seasoned rice with a salad to boot.
Improvements I will make next time are cubing at the start, and taking them out of the braise pan to set on the grill rack for 10-15min.
Note: these were better after rested for 20 minutes instead of fresh out of the pan.
I get to the select network screen and nothing happens when I push the connect button on my phone. It is asking for a password, but my network doesn't have a password.
Busy couple of days for the Traeger!!
First time attempting a competition style money muscle. Not too sure about my trim, I might have left too much on. I understand the hype now. This thing was absolutely delicious. I roughly followed this recipe https://youtu.be/vUzxViPfNcY
So I have had my Traeger Pro 22 for 3 years now. I also had a cheap $25 charcoal briquette grill that was my first ever.
Anyways I use the Traeger for Ribs and turkey and to smoke chicken. I find it very hard to sear anything on it. Or it takes hella time. Anyways I just got gifted a Kamado Joe Classic 1.
What would be the best ways to use both in a cookout or what would be the strengths?
I feel like the Traeger would be strictly for long smokes like Brisket, Turkey, and ribs while the Kamado would be doing the burgers, chicken breast, searing, steaks, normal grill stuff instead of smoking. Is that accurate or do I have a redundant setup and should return the Kamado?
TLDR: The big idea: smoke on the Traeger, finish on the Kamado worth it? Or return the Kamado I just got gifted
I’m retiring for sure the $25 brisquette grill. It’s fucked lol
It looks like a car accident. This would also work really well as the "brain" in a fake skull.
Finally worked my way up to a brisket. 9.5lbs seemed good. I’ve done a number of smokes before but wow this one was it. Super smoked for 10 hours and then up to 250F. 2 hours in the hot rod went out and had to finish in the oven. Let me know what I could improve on. I wish my bark was darker but dammit it was juicy, delicious, and tender as hell.
Anyone using lava lock on there 780 pro thinking about doing it to mine how are you all installing it on the lid or the barrel or both thanks
