    Meater

    I just received my Meater Block. First look is very good. The quality, fit and finish are excellent. Pairing to my WiFi was child's play. It will be a month or so before I get a cook with the Meater as the weather has been brutal in my neck of the woods.

    Masterbuilt Portable Electric Smoker Bypass

    Be very careful that you don't exceed the maximum rated temp of the insulation (if insulated). Doing so will cause the insulation to off-gas. Some off-gases are poisonous/toxic. You don't want to be contaminating your food or breathing that off-gas.

    Green oak Gona be ready in 2 months

    Relative humidity (dew point) is the determining factor. A cord of "green" wood sitting in 95 degree temp with a 75 degree dew point (Shreveport, LA) will take much longer to season than a cord of "green" wood sitting in 95 degree temp with a 20 degree dew point (Ft. Hancock, TX). Other factors...

    A little rare in the south

    About a week ago we got 16.8 inches of snow in a 10 hour period. When I got off work I drove 30 miles in blizzard conditions (45 MPH winds). I had to stop about every 3 miles and knock the ice off my wipers and I got out of my Jeep into snow up to mid calf. There was close to a foot on the back...

    Another newbie with another brisket question

    Plan your smoke to have the brisket at 190-195 about 4 hours before you eat. Foil it and place in the cooler. When you're ready to eat take it out, slice and serve. Over that 4 hour period it should sneak up to 205 or so. Perfect. If you put in the fridge, you'll have to reheat it.

    Will freezing brisket in homemade sauce be okay?

    I wouldn't do it. But to test the marinade, take some and freeze it. Leave it frozen for a few days and then thaw it. See what it tastes like. Only way you can say for sure.

    Beef short ribs while on the ice!

    Nice walleye. One of my favorite fish. I miss fishing in the UP. Lived in Gwinn for 7 years and use to get to Deluth quite a bit.

    Meater

    I'm an original investor in that project. The single probe product is shipping but the Meater Block is not ready for production yet. It's 3 years over target date. The product is new and untested in the field. Caveat Emptor.

    How to store and seaon wood?

    Stack it outside off the ground after you cut to length and split. Cover the top of the stack with a waterproof plastic or with plywood. Let air circulate through the stack. If very arid there, wait 6 months and use otherwise wait 12 months and use.

    Getting ready to build first PID...

    To test your SSR apply 9V DC to the trigger side. If your light bulb lights and it doesn't light when you remove the 9V then the SSR is good. Actually you can use any voltage from 3-32V. As to your first post, how many amps does your hot plate pull at full power?

    Flat brisket question

    Looks like your bark holds up good with that method, Pop A Smoke. I tried smoking first but my bark got "mushy" in the SV, so I started smoking to finish it. Think I'll try your method out and see how it goes.

    Another Eye Round (Sous Vide Test #3)

    The picture under "All sliced up & just right inside:" is absolutely beautiful. That's the way well cooked meat should look. Not only delicious to eat but pleasing to the eye to behold.

    4lb Brisket Help

    If it's only 4 lbs (a small flat) I'd Sous Vide it. But if you're hell bent on smoking it, I hope it has a lot of "marble" in it otherwise it's going to be dry and tough. Getting a small flat like that tender is a real challenge.

    Another Chucky with my SV & Grill

    Got to agree this is *THE* way to cook a chuck. I got a Gourmia GSV900 about 2 months ago and the first thing I did was a chuck roast in it. I simply could not believe how well it turned out. I've done two more since then and all of them have turned out excellent.

    There's Gotta Be...

    Ask him if he wants two "sons" and I'll be happy to do some cooking too. Heck, I'd even gut and butcher the deer for him if he wants.

    When do you buy your wood?

    Good point Bear. I usually bring home the cuts and take about 6" off each end with a hand saw. I burn the 6" chunks in the firepit. I never use the dust or chips to cook.
