The BBQ and Smoking Thread

[tirebob]

I only have a full brisket shot and didn’t grab one sliced…

[sabad66]

Looks good! I’m living vicariously through others for now so appreciate the meat shots in this thread haha

Ugh.. i ended up getting vertigo pretty bad for some shit reason on Friday. Canceled the bbq, thankfully the brisket was on autopilot and I managed to get it wrapped up and in the fridge. Haven't looked at it yet fml. Have eaten 2 pieces of bread and 6 crackers since friday.

[dirtsniffer]

Ended up just slicing it for futures. Not sure if I should have left it in larger portions.

That looks really good

Tried a 3 bone short rib plate yesterday in the smoker. 6.5hr cook time. Turned out really well and definitly will smoke again.

Grilled a ribeye and a striploin from Bon Ton.

Is it better? Yes.

Is it twice as expensive better?

No.

I bought from Bon Ton a couple times, and while the quality is good, they charge way too much for it compared to similar quality from other butchers.

[Disoblige]

The best meat is the kind where it's good quality but also good bang for the buck.
Cheap AAA ribeye on sale for under $10/lb is my go-to currently when it happens.

[dirtsniffer]

Let me know when you see that price again

I used to use Bon Ton as the quality is always great and consistent, but a while back I discovered Master Meats and have not looked back. Same great quality and prices are more reasonable.

2nd on Master Meats.

Even compared to CoOp dry aged, its a better meat and cheaper. (Even when bumping up to the MM Prime.)

[ercchry]

All the BBQ guys always bring up master and Ryan’s meats

[RX_EVOLV]

Master Meat price is fair and quality is good. I wish they put their prices online..

[tcon]

I am new in the NW area and have gone to master meats a few times, only about 5 minutes away from me. Grabbed a tomahawk steak from there, damn it was good. A lil pricey compared to your average grocery store but it seems like it's a definite bump up in quality.

Working on a new project for Urban Butcher here in town. This was the pork shoulder that we prepped and smoked for 12 hours this past weekend on the Traeger.

Anyone here wet age their meat after buying it from say Costco when they are cryovac packaged?

[killramos]

I just slice mine, vac seal, and freeze.

I almost never eat fresh meat, I can’t be bothered to go to the store that often.

[RX_EVOLV]

Yeah that's what I do too.

I wonder since I'm buying a full piece at a time and end up freezing most for >30 days before cooking anyway, should I just wet age the whole thing for 30-45 days in the fridge first, then slice -> Vac Seal -> freeze.
