***BBQ Redux Redux thread - All outdoor cooking except whole hog***

Looks about right

 

Put an ad on Craigslist for a sous chef.

 

Been too long since I did a brisket. Went almost equal parts of each rub in last pic.

 

Cook at 250 or 275?

 

225 so far bc I put it on at midnight and want it for dinner tonight. I've cooked them at 275 before and they were some in 12 hour or less.

 

I really in my heart believe you never wanted Hillary Clinton to say what she did .
but ?
I won again huh

 

so if i want to cook beef ribs like the ones i see in this thread i need to buy short ribs?

 

Correct, you might also find them called chuck ribs

 

Where have you found plates? Short ribs are hit or miss as far as finding them around here in my experience.

 

I figured we needed some pics of bbq on this fine morning

 

what is that on the bottom grate?

 

Some thick cut venison bacon, it's amazing. It's also what's to the left of the spatula that you can kinda see in the tray. Forgot about those three pieces because they didn't fit earlier

 

yes, I'll have some of that

 

Reminder that pulled pork competition submissions are due before midnight on Monday. Please be sure to pm me the pictures so I don't miss any submissions. I've only gotten two so far.

 

NM, asked and answered.

 

can you quote your rules for this page?

Thinking about picking up some ribs today to smoke, pork butt tomorrow.

 

Butts on butts on butts in varying stages of doneness. I want my damn weekend back.



And yes I went with boneless and that is why some of them are varied in shape. So far no issues with them.

 

How much are they paying you for this nonsense

 

Eventually he will come to his ways and open up a shop instead of catering.

Sorry I couldn't make it down to help, old man a.tramp

 

Like $3k. Would be more but I am honoring a 3 year old arrangement I made in exchange for some work. If it wasn't for that agreement and honoring my word I wouldn't be doing this, shit is too much work and stress. Cost of job came in around $1200 so it is not like I'm losing money or anywhere close but this shit takes years off of my life.

 

Yeah that's a pretty big steal for them at like 7.50 a person

 

Yep.

 

I already have a plan formulating in my mind. Now that I have access to capital that does not require me leveraging our financial situation to a ridiculous degree then it is more of a possibility. I am thinking a little shack just outside of the metro along a well traveled route that is open 1-2 days a week for starters.

 

You doing this full time yet?

 

Im also cooking today - 200lbs of crawfish and 10 butts, plus the small stuff that is the main pain in the ass. I help a caterer out sometimes when he is slammed and this shit just takes so much time to put together. Also having to clean afterwards makes me want to shoot myself. I could never do this for a living.

 

Nope, actually had stopped all together for over a year, just honoring an old agreement

 

Let me know when it's time to pack my bags and assist in these efforts.

 

Yep, it is all the little things that add up and make it miserable.

 

Got a rack of spare ribs - how do I trim them? Been a long long time since I have cooked spares. Plan on it taking longer than baby backs too, correct? Thinking about starting the smoker ~12:30 so they can be off by 6

 

i usually cook spare ribs for 5-6 hrs at 225-250. would cook time on beef ribs be similar? do you cook them to certain internal temp or do a bend test etc?

 

Same as brisket, until your probe goes in with minimal resistance. Also, you want the meat to pull a couple inches off the bone. It will look like it frenched itself.

 

This page is chock full of honoring old agreements

 

Nah, but we have a ton of butcher shops. Guessing Joe found one to order from.

 

Pitt Boss ceramic grill at Costco for $600. It's the size of an XL BGE.

Anyone know anything about them?

 

Guy i work with has one. Says it's great for the price

 

Yeah for $600 I may just bite the bullet. An XL BGE would run me $1200 plus and I can make some quality concessions for a $600 discount. Probably going back tomorrow to inspect more.

 

They're worth it. Do it

 

This fucker and 23 others pretty muck just like it

 

You make sauce for the heathens attending your agreement honoring?

 

Nope. Told them they are more than welcome to go buy some and set it out on the buffet tho.

 

Wrapped in butcher paper a few hours ago. Just pulled and now it's resting. Had to peep inside the butcher paper though.

 

Tri tip may be my new favorite thing. So quick, so easy, so good.

 

Can't beat pizza on the egg...
