    El Pollo Loco

    YUM! just used this on chicken thighs; went into the marinade about 10am until around 6 pm. Baked in the oven at 425 for about 40 min. Plenty of flavor, nice and moist. We lived in SoCal for a while, loved El Pollo Loco. Served with chilerelleno's frijoles negro and black rice, adapted the...

    Blow the door off my smoker.

    WOW! I haven't seen that before! If you stick with electric, I use a Cookshack. It's amazing but they are pricey!! If you are very patient and diligent occasionally one pops up on Craigslist. I would definitely consider a Traeger, they put out consistently good smokes.

    Looking for Thermometer recommendations

    I'm a big fan of thermoworks products, you don't have to spend the bucks on a thermapen to get a fast reading probe, check out their options. I also use their oven probe therms, and have 2 of their infrared, one has a k-type probe so it can do double duty as infrared, for surface temps,  and an...

    Dry Bag aging

    I won one of these systems in the contest last year, so I got the recommended vac sealer along with the bags. I've been using them ever since!  I still have difficulty getting a big slab into the bag and getting a real good seal, but they've all worked out great.  I've aged boneless ribeye and...

    Some Pastrami just because I had the craving!

     I did one the other day, too!  Love it, so easy, and my hubby's favorite lunchmeat now.  I haven't brined my own yet, but plan to eventually.  The good quality store bought ones are fine. I've soaked a couple, the first few I did, I just rinsed them well and patted them dry; they weren't too...

    pecan wood

    I love using pecan. It's great for pastrami, chuck roasts, used it with some pulled pork the other day, did some pork tenderloins yesterday with it - ok, I just tried it, it's yummy with those, too. I get mine from Yakima, Wa (barbecue-wood.com), since it's close by for me.  My sister's allergic...

    Best economy instant read meat thermometer?

    Terry, I'd go with a single probe. You're not getting better accuracy, and l don't like to put any more holes in my meat than I have to, I want those juices to stay in there!  They may not be calibrate-able, the packaging should tell you. the probe I use (see above) can be calibrated but...
