The BBQ and Smoking Thread

[rx7boi]

Now all you need to do is multiple taste tests and then run a regression model to show statistical significance between best practice and maximum flavour.

If you get your brisket from different sources, we can add an ANOVA to the analysis, assuming supplier quality is consistent across all vendors

Sick of the doom and gloom... Need some kind of break so figured I would fire up the smoker and do some beauty side ribs!

On the fire as we speak...

Atta Boyee!!! I have some pork shoulders that I want to bust out, but then I'd want to invite people over to eat them. Hmmm.

Dude... I always do the biggest shoulder I can and then portion and sandwich bag ziplock up the leftovers! One cook makes many awesome sandwich days in the following weeks! Who the fuck needs people when you have a freezer full of bbq?!?!

I saw an ad for the new Weber pellet smokers (EX-4 & EX-6 I think) and oh Man, did I want. So much want!
Then I saw all these fear mongering YouTube videos bashing them! It's viral! Almost suspicious...
Anyone got one or considering one? I can see some ash maybe partially obstructing the grease drips, but it looks a long way from a chronic problem.
Maybe they'll address it within a year, but aside from that, holy it looks like a great unit!

I don’t know anything about that particular pellet grill (I have been using a Louisiana Grills Pellet Smoker for a long while now) but I will say a pellet grill in general is very convenient compared to an offset stick burner... I have a few different smokers but the last couple years I have put aside my stick burner for the pellet smoker more and more. I love using the offset smoker but man it is a whole lot of time and attention where with the pellet grill you pretty much are free to do what you want while the cook is happening rather than constantly monitoring the fire. Now the pellet grill is definitely less aggressive with the smoke flavour versus burning splits but I fam finding kore and more people appreciate the light smoke versus heavy smoke. Just depends what you like.

All my frozen meat got lost in the move, by the time I found it it was way too far gone.

We searched and searched

The finished product... I need a better slicing knife but they were still damn tasty!

[ExtraSlow]

I do love pork ribs.

Seems like an appropriate Jerky smoking day. Been running low on healthy snacks this week.

Looking good!

Got 3 jars of bounty off a couple small eye of rounds. Not a bad haul.

I need to do some ribs or something here soon when I stomach the trip to Costco...

Fuck Costco man... Go give your money to Master Meats! The quality is sooooo much nicer and surprising how affordable they are!

Jerky looks awesome!

[ExtraSlow]

Price for master meats is pretty reasonable since there's less trimming to be done.

I’ve never actually been, despite living down the road for the last 7 years. Haha.

I’ll make my way over later this week maybe.

How the selection?

Really good... They will trim however you like as well for no extra. Just ask for whatever cut you want.

AAA Prime Rib is half price at Safeway/Sobeys right meow.
I got a pretty big 2.5+kg one for only $50 and I guess I better get it ready for the spit soon.

[The_Rural_Juror]

I like both Master Meats and Calgary Meats & Deli.
I also want to know what would drive someone to buy a wolf toaster when Breville does a better job for less.

[killramos]

I chose the toaster instead of an Aspen postal code.

[dirtsniffer]

Not a big difference really... Both are jammed full of crusty white bread.
