    Steaks

    I don't mind flank at all! Just let me marinate it for carne asada or fajitas and grill it on an extremely hot grill for just a couple minutes until medium rare. Slice against the grain and serve with homemade tortillas and all the fixings! Talk about good eatin'!

    Steaks

    18-20 minutes to cook a steak?!  I'll get a good bit of lump going like a banshee and grill a 2" thick ribeye for no more than 5 minutes.  I could never grill a steak for 20 minutes!  I always get my steaks to room temp, though, before grilling.

    Chipotle Jerky with Qview!

    3/6" would be 1/2", though I made a mistake typing and it should have been 3/16".  I tried to keep it between 1/8" and 1/4" and most of it was 3/16".  I love the way my jerky turns out every time, and I'd absolutely make it the same as last time.  I think this was the best batch yet.

    Bone in Ribeye, ABT's with qview

    I used to live 15 minutes from a meat market that dry aged their meat 4-6 weeks and had choice ribeyes for $14/lb.  For dry aged ribeyes aged at least 4 weeks that's a STEAL!  I loved those steaks.  Now I live over a couple hours away from that meat market and have to visit a local one.  He...

    First time bacon

    Thanks, Bear!  You can see on those slices where on one end they're more fat than meat.  The other portions of the belly were much meatier.  Overall I'm very satisfied with my first bacon smoke.  At first I thought it was too salty but it seemed to mellow out once it took a nap in the freezer...

    First time bacon

    I put it in the freezer for several hours and sliced it tonight.  Fried up a couple pieces and it's great!!!  I was a little disappointed when I pulled them from the smoker because the slabs didn't have the dark color I was looking for.  Slicing into them, though, you can see the bacon slices...

    First time bacon

    I smoked it for 9-10 hours and brought it in and took a few slices off one of the slabs.  Fried them up in a cast iron pan that belonged to my great grandmother.  Still too salty!  Great flavor, just too salty even after soaking for two hours.  Maybe after I let it rest and let the smoke flavors...

    First time bacon

    Bacon in the oven?!  Any time I've had bacon longer than the width of the frying pan I've just laid it in there and as it shrank the ends joined the rest in the middle.

    First time bacon

    My belly has been curing in the fridge for 6.5 days now.  I said enough is enough!  I pulled them out, rinsed them off, and let them soak in ice water for two hours.  My first test fried up was a bit too salty so I let them soak for two hours.  I knew I couldn't do a true cold smoke in my WSM...

    Any chile recipes ?

    Chipotle Jerky with Qview!

    I get a bit of lump going and toss on some hickory to get it around 150.  Load up the smoker with jerky and then try my best to keep the temp between 150 and 170.  Takes a lot of work, but usually turns out great.

    Chipotle Jerky with Qview!

    I love making chipotle jerky (though my recipe changes each time) and I just loaded up my smoker with a portion of another batch.  I bought a 22.5lb whole inside round and trimmed it up separating each individual cut in an attempt to trim out as much fat as possible and sliced it about 3/6"...
