I'm positive I've posted about this particular recipe before. Here is a visual of making your kitchen smell amazing.

Got carnitas on the smoker right now. Mac n cheese to follow. This pellet grill is making me want to cook. And I hate to cook.

Isn't summer grilling great? We grill outdoors year around but several times a week in summer.

Here's some simple pork chops with homemade rhubarb BBQ sauce. Mesquite chips add a bit of smoke.

They're just too damned convenient. [Beer]

I whipped up some carnitas in the skillet from the shoulder I made on the 3rd. Now that my pellet grill is more accessible, I have to debate between *which* protein we're using for each meal.

The dealer I got my grill from gave me a Camp Chef BBQ Box and Pizza Oven attachments. I can't wait to try a pizza in it. The grill in the BBQ box will heat up to over 800?. Should work great for searing a steak.

Watch for me soon on "My 600 Lb Life"!

Explains why you put in for a desk job, and a government one at that.

Just enjoyed a smoked, reverse-seared ribeye #ohsogood. It would have cost at least 4X at a high-end steakhouse for equal quality. I've tried same technique with sous vide but just doesn't deliver the great flavor.

I did a beer can chicken on the pit barrel yesterday. Creole seasoning as a base, then Savory Spice Shop's Team Sweet Mama chicken rub. 2 hours at medium high heat over a touch of mesquite left a very juicy bird with a crisp, tasty skin. Yum!

Matthew McConaughey calls it butt chicken. Heard him say it 20 yrs ago & it still makes me laugh.

Didn't take a picture of it but I did a brisket yesterday. Not my best but plenty tasty all the same.

I use to like making the can chicken, went from beer to lemonade. Then tried spatchcock style, using a dry rub mix a few hrs before cooking, haven't looked back.

There's always a debate / discussion how to get crispy skin, without throwing it on the grill after smoking. It was suggested switching from using oil to
mayo, which i'm happy with.. Then i'm seeing people rubbing the skin with baking soda, letting it sit in the fridge an hourish uncovered.

Tried it on 1/2 and 1/2 with the baking soda as well as mayo (after removing from fridge) then the dry seasoning, on both sides. Impressed with the results, but you need an even coating or it can be "clumpy" in the heavier areas.

YMMV

Labor Day Weekend. I have seen good ole' Kingsford Blue on sale everywhere. My Weber kettle is sitting in storage, waiting for me to buy a house since I can't burn charcoal in a condo.

My GMG Crockett is clean and ready, King Doops has baby backs on sale, although I really love a beef short rib...

Three days, maybe salmon tonight, pork on Saturday, beef on Sunday, emergency stent Monday!

It's a good weekend for a brisket. Trim and rub tonight, and goes into the Traeger in the morning.

Where do you get a brisket? I have seen them in rarely in Doops and haven't delved too deeply into the local meat stores.

Do you buy the whole thing or sections? Flat has less fat so a couple pounds of point is better for a low and slow?

I'm new to the smoking world- forgive my child-like questions.

We bought a whole packer at Sam's about a month ago. I pulled it out of the freezer yesterday. I'll trim it up and cook the whole thing. The flat is the more 'premium' part of the brisket. The point can handle more cooking. The last point I had was chopped up and slow cooked with some BBQ sauce to make sammiches.

Colorado has a lot of cows. Is there a local guy that I can buy from?

And to further muddle up a thread, how much is brisket per pound?

Costco sells really nice Prime whole-packer briskets, and it's cheaper per pound than I see at most grocery stores for "choice" grade.

I always do whole brisket. Never seem to have much trouble using up the left-overs. Flat can be done ok low and slow, but you've got to be careful to avoid drying it out too much.

I don't do any smoking and pretty much just lurk in this thread, but would add that we buy the bulk of our meat from Costco and it's always amazing. I buy their pre-seasoned (gasp) beef ribs. We instant pot pre-cook them, then finish on the grille. Sometimes sauced, sometime not. Just about the only ribs I'll enjoy as they're super meaty. We always get a bunch and cook them up to vacuum seal and freeze for a quick n easy meal on the grille.

I looked at a whole Prime packer at Sam's yesterday and it was $3.59/lb. The brisket I thawed overnight is Choice. Last I heard, Sam's gets their meat from the same supplier that Tony's Meats uses.

I've also used Costco Prime packers.

Shamrock was $3.35/lb for choice brisket.

If you wanted some close to farm meats, head up to Hudson Locker.

^^^This.

We still do occasional beer can chicken but spatchcock is the norm.

[Beer] FYI: you're doing yourself an injustice when there. If you don't buy some of their hot dogs The smoked flavor with natural casings are amazing.
There are some things we miss about CO. H/lockers is one of them.

I just smoked one from there earlier this week. Great quality and it was about $3/lb
