Good timing. I just picked up about a sixteen pounder myself that I'm going to dry-age for 35 days. My UMAi bags will be here next week and then it's on! Can't wait!

Jer, let us know how well the umai bags work. I?m curious to hear actual first hand experiences with them.
I have a question for all you amateur chefs, I picked up a pre seasoned carnitas pork roast. What is the best way to cook it ? Crock pot on low all day or oven cook on 275* for a few hours ?
I will be serving with pan sauteed fajita vegetables with a few Serrano peppers to kick it up a notch & warmed flour tortillas.
I know I didn’t give very much time for answers, I went with the crock pot. We shall see how it turns out.
Excellent choice!
Fresh out of the crock pot.

prepping a 5lb leg of lamb for tomorrow afternoon. Usual suspects for the dry rub with a splash of chipolte olive oil.
I wanted to come back to report that I'm not sure if I'll smoke these so I may not post the details here to keep from taking this thread off-topic. I just may create a new thread for the wonders of dry aging for those interested as it's a pretty complex conversation with fantastic results worthy of it's own conversation.
Actually, I went ahead and started a new thread here to discuss the new topic.
This is going till end of business day. $4.99 per 20 lb bag

Brings a new meaning to the term "cold smoked". Your efforts to heat things up outside are appreciated.
Looks tasty!

Looks tasty!
Stick burner in this weather...way to go!
Cornbread was cooked in the oven. It is a sweeter recipe and I am not a fan of doing it in the pit. Hot fast white dough like pizza is awesome with some smoke. There is dairy in the cornbread...gets funky in the pit.
The CSR's went in the pit for about2.5 hours at 225 +/-. Then put them in a foil pan covered with foil with some sauce (my own KC style) and a bit of cola for 2 hours at 225. My own rub with most of the spice cabinet in there. Fire had about died so I brought them inside and carmelized the sauce under the broiler.
They were like a medium steak. A bit longer in the foiled pan and they would have been fall apart tender. Because they are only about 1.5 inches thick, they take a deep smoke. Solid meal with a ton left over. Gonna chop up the remainder for fried rice, pizza, and tacos.
Meatloaf in the pellet smoker! Backyard smells amazeballs now...
Got a leg of lamb going!
The neighbors are waving.
Got a pack of chicken thighs getting comfy on the pellet grill...yay meAttachment 77569
