I saw this a few weeks ago and, if I am alive, it's my life goal. Let me preface this by saying it's cool as fuck but I don't need the smoker functionality of this, I just want the wood fire oven. That said still cool as fuck and something I would like to play with eternally.
i’ve wanted a 250 gallon for a while now and figured fuck it now’s the time i’ve gotten enough positive feedback from parties to fairytale football drafts and whatever else i’ve cooked for, that i think i can cook for more than just my family thinking i’ll dip my toes in the catering world
i know i’m not diving in i wanna learn as much as i can about building pits i’m thinking middle 2021 when it comes to the catering part
I literally studied designs of pits on line and in person for probably 15 years from the late 90's till I finally built mine in the early 2000's There are still things I would change on mine if I could, but I love it and it cooks awesome
oh and finished porky goodness probably could’ve let her ride a little longer unwrapped for better bark but the flavor was spot on
Cooked a pork butt this weekend. Wife wanted to go hiking when it was at 160, so when i came back an hour and half later, the stall was already over and it was at 190-195. Was sweating it the entire hike since I had invested half my day into it already
Didn’t have everything for PSB so audibled to pulled/shredded beef with horseradish cream. Three hours on the smoke, three hours in the oven. It was delicious.
There's no time or temp limit on smoke absorption (as far as smoke flavor goes)...but yeah the visual smoke 'ring' completely stops growing at around 170.
Got an 18 lb brisket going on tonight. Was going to start cooking it this morning but I was lazy and wanted to sleep in. Edit: Will document the drunken journey of prep work etc.
Cut about 1.5 lb off the flat so I can grind into hamburger meat in the morning since I can’t find any at the stores. 18.7 lb packers trimmed to about 16.5 lbs.
I lied, I'm going to tie one on tonight and get Fe Fi Fo Fucked up tonight since I'm off for 15 days.
No it was about 3-4 am when I passed out(was playing some vidja games). However I just woke up and am not going to let this hangover keep me down so starting with a hard latte! Grill drifted down to 200 while I slept
Just pulled off the grill. Didn't get any pics because I wrapped it immediately to rest but will get some when I begin to slicing this beast.
