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

Yep. One free household add on for the base membership.

 

I'm sure the next time they try they'll get denied now

 

They have a fantastic steak selection

 

My old man on my birthday and other events gets crab legs for me there so it makes sense to do one stop. I have a great meat store but I like to do it all in one. Thats why I ask. I'm busy as hell the next 2 days.

 

Costco will be way cheaper than your meat store imo

 

This is what I assumed.

 

Took the day off to watch the goings on at Pebble. They had some lookers in the in the case at Stater Bros. this morning so that's what we're doing.

 

Time, heat, and smoke do some wonderful things to meat.

 

And the bite...thanks for following this scintillating cook.

 

Thanks for posting pics. You’re an inspiration and a hero.

 

My ex father in law had one. Got it from nascar team member fast cook food had zero flavor
Would not buy or eat

 

Leave me out of this

 

Getting ahead of yourself. Do you even make brisket or BBQ good enough people would buy? How are you going to keep the bread from getting too soft or the sandwiches from tasting bad waiting on people to buy them?

 

Eh pulled pork would be easy, it's hard to fuck up that cook. Just slap it on a bun to order. Brisket would be more difficult

 

I think we allow guest passes you can print out from the website.

You can also have a member buy a giftcard that you can use without having a membership yourself, but they will absolutely try to shame you for doing so. It's a really weird thing.

 

Anyone care to talk me out of a Traeger Eastwood 22, assembled with a free cover and bag of pellets for $499?

I still haven’t pulled the trigger on a kamado, but hadn’t considered a Traeger until seeing this Father’s Day special.

 

Too expensive for what it is.

 

For that price point, something like a Pit Boss is significantly heavier made and will last longer, IMO.

 

So under $300 for the about the same thing...

 

REC TEC

 

I took the afternoon off and made ribs while little ones were at daycare.

It’s a lot easier to get things done with no kids around.

 

Damn $90 for the one class or $180 for access to all of the different classes for a year. Puck and Ramsay for cooking and Ivey and Negreanu for poker would make it worth it for me.

 

I know and believe that Aaron Franklin is brisket fucking God, I've eaten his product and find it absolutely unbelievable he is able to produce those results day in and day out

But I dont know what he can show me in a video for $90 that he hasn't already shown on the old PBS videos

 

Agree. The other 4 videos interest me but idk about $180 for 5 videos.

 

Went by the taco stand and mi amigo was cooking up chicken and ribs for a special

 

BBQ with Franklin.

 

I believe my coworker did this and he gave me a real nice pdf with it. It’s quite a few pages and has some good information. He passed it along to me and gave me the log in for the series. I did not watch yet.

Got a butt on today and per a friend I made some baked beans which have currently been smoking and also doubling as the drip pan. He swears by it, they certainly smell legit. Guess it’s hard to go wrong with fat and sugar as long as they don’t dry out.

 

Pulled pork quesadillas today.

 

Ignore weird picture angle making it look like AC units are attached to the top.

I think even devine can get behind this Nebraska addition.

 

Not really BBQ but doing two 3 pound tomahawks tomorrow Most I have ever spent on meat. Any suggestions? Will be on a gas grill.

Came from DC laxjoe

 

Do you have a thermometer

 

Thermapen yes.

And it's my dad's nice ass grill I just don't want to fuck them up somehow.

 

Cook them over direct heat until the thermometer says 200

 

Just cook them low until they hit 118 or so then crank it and sear

 

I was going sear and then convect to temp, but I like this idea. in essence a reverse sear. I also have king crab and a Dungeness to steam. I may have bought to much food.

 

Nah you didn’t, you’re good.

 

Anybody ever used those salt blocks for grilling?
Local heb has em on sale

 

I got one as a gift and grilled salmon on it a few times. There is definitely a nice salt flavor, but it is a pain in the ass to clean.

Save your money imo.

 

I think TLAU has or had one.

 

Getting a new propane grill under $500. Is Weber just the easy choice?

I have a separate smoker so this is just my quick grilling during the week machine.

 

Yes. Got a Weber spirit for same uses at about $500 and love it

 

they're fun to use like a hot rock. we use ours probably every other week with a nice wagyu steak. cut into super thin pieces and toss in a bowl with EVOO and pepper. block stays hot enough to sear the pieces for about 20 minutes. maybe takes 30 seconds total to sear each side. block gives you a good amount of salt flavor and just a different way to cook steak.

basically it's the route we go when mrs tlau wants to do steak dinner night and cook for me. sous vide + cast iron is still king

 

Mrs TLAu?

 

Going in for a short dry "brine".

*future mrs tlau but might as well be. there'll be a ring before the end of 2019
