First beef back ribs
I think I am going to keep my eyes open for a good priced bone in rib eye roast, and cut the ribs off leaving generous meat. Then make steaks from the rest. I read someone on here did that. Also, this was grass fed beef so maybe not as meaty as corn finished. (We are trying to eat mostly... -
First beef back ribs
Well, my ribs turned out "so so" -- I thought they were great, but my husband complained there wasn't enough meat on them. To me, that's beef ribs but the taste - there's just nothing like smoked beef rib meat to me. I did some braised short ribs recently and they were good but I felt that... -
First beef back ribs
I am doing my first beef ribs in the smoker tomorrow. I am going to try to follow this. Does "Texas Crutch" mean wrap in foil? Or when you throw them in the roaster pan and "foil tightly" instead - are you using the foil to seal the pan so the ribs are in an air pocket, or is it wrapped... -
Bison vs. Beef - Done Temp
Sorry all who read my post earlier -- I originally said I read to cook it to 235 - 240. I meant 135-140. I accidentally cooked to to 171 but it was still pink and juicy inside.- lauralee

Bison vs. Beef - Done Temp
I am still a novice at smoking and don't know much about BBQ/cooking meat to begin with. I do know we like our beef medium rare and love a good tri tip. So I picked up a 2 lb. Bison tri-tip the other day and knew in my heart that low and slow in a smoker was the way to go. But how hot and...- lauralee

Hump Day Rump Day! Now with Leftover view!!!
Oh MAN that looks so good! The pink in the center, the crust on the outside, the veggies... How long did smoking it at 285 take? (Sorry if you said and I missed it). -
The Continuous Reverse Sear Thread!
Dave, thanks -- I did try that, with both my oven and my toaster oven but they both keep shutting off anyhow. OK, well, I left the toaster oven cracked open just an inch or two. I'll try really opening it up. I remember my dad broiling meat that way when I was a kid, with it open a few... -
The Continuous Reverse Sear Thread!
Well, I discovered last night that my broiler shuts off automatically when the oven temp reaches 500 anyhow. SO annoying. I am really tired of stoves and ovens that try to protect me from myself by shutting the broiler off based on oven temp (how can you broil without direct heat? Why call... -
Newbie Hello
Bob B Que -- I have a Seal-O-Meal already but he said he buys the Salmon and then takes it to a packaging place that I can pay by credit card over the phone for shipping. So let's stay in touch and maybe we can work something out. I'll get more details next time we talk. I don't know if... -
Newbie Hello
Dave - I just clicked this link, this is Awesome. I got the rub and sauce recipes today and the e-book came with them. I'm on my way! I was roasting some almonds in the toaster oven today and thought to myself -- I bet I could SMOKE them. Some homemade salami too... This morning my husband... -
Newbie Hello
He will -- I told him the same thing I say when I leave lights on or forget to pick up after myself -- "Don't worry, you'll get used to it..." Though last night he did make me take a shower before going to bed. The smoke was in my hair - all over me. To me it smelled like a campfire, which... -
The Continuous Reverse Sear Thread!
Hi All, new to smoking here. My Grill is having issues. I could do the reverse sear on a cast iron pan but I'm curious -- what about throwing the steaks under the broiler for a few seconds each side? Or would that cook into them too much? (I love the broiler for crisping up fat.) -
Newbie Hello
Thanks guys! I will look up the reverse sear. I actually did sear the steaks in a cast iron skillet, but I did it before the smoking. -
Newbie Hello
Hi, I'm Laura from California. Brand new to smoking and VERY excited about it. I've been getting Jeff's Smoking Meat emails for a couple years now and dreaming about the day I get a smoker. OK, I had a charcoal smoker that I used a couple times with good results but made a huge mess and I had...
