    Actually my wife requested brisket so I took a few pics but nothing ground breaking on this just really good eating. Also remembered I had this Signals Wifi Thermometer and figured I'd give it a full run out to see how this works since we finally got Wifi in the Barn. Out of the package as a...

    Beef Ribs in the Yoder 640

    I've cooked Beef ribs many times but not like these. It' always been the shiners, short ribs, individual, ect ... but never a whole, untrimmed slab of ribs. Several weeks back I made a run to the grocery for something and as always, I cruise through the meat section (cause ya never know what you...

    Spinning Smoked Turkey (sleet day project)

    So last week I'm digging deep in the deep freeze and found a 12 lbs. Turkey we acquired during this last holiday season - Figured that would be my Sleet day smoking project. After thawing this bird out I keep my prep simple since I'm going to rotisserie it. Just gave the bird a quick rinse...

    Kept it simple this Christmas

    Bought a really nice bone in Select grade rib roast on sale at the local Brookshire's and decided to make a couple of steaks out of this one. I couldn't believe the marbling being most of the select grade I see just don't have much if any in the eye. So Christmas rolls around and I prep one of...

    Venison Fattie

    Cooker First Burn-In after a deep cleaning

    I've been busier than a one eyed Tomcat watching 2 mouse holes. For real, Lucile. So after a long hiatus due to a work project I finally got a little time at home and damn if my Yoder wasn't just filthy and needing some much needed love (and deep cleaning) so in I went. These cookers get filthy...

    Beef Ribs (Shiners)

    Grabbed a rack of the local grocery shiners a few days back. Yesterday I decided to throw them in the Yoder with some Lumberjack Pecan Blend pellets. Just pulled as much of the membrane as possible off the back side and covered them in @TulsaJeff 's Texas Rub (I really like this blend) and into...

    Prime doneness issue solved (maybe)

    Christmas gathering was reduced to a much smaller group of 8 (had well over 20 last year.) I wound up with 2 rib roast this year. Both were purchased at local grocery on sale @ $6.99/lbs and I was just hoping they'd both be tender and good flavor. So as I'm trimming & prepping them yesterday I...

    Spinning a 16# Bird on the WSM 22,5

    I decided to park the Yoder and fire up the WSM 22.5 this year for Thanksgiving. I wanted rich smokey flavor so I loaded the cooker with Charcoal & a few chunks of hickory and off we went. I need to do some work to seal up several holes in my rotisserie section so I can control temps & sustain...

    Not the typical Brisket thread - long ramble

    Many who know me by now are aware of my "self worth" when it comes to Briskets. Yep, while I'm just another weekend warrior with a few cookers I "think" I am an advanced brisket smoker. Then this happened ......... My wife is helping a close friend's daughter plan & organize her wedding. She...

    Beef Skirt cooking temps?

    I've done a few of these but for some reason the last one I cooked was tough. I did a reverse sear - it was in the Yoder for about 1 1/2 hours getting smoke then I threw it on the gas grill for a quick sear. IT was in the 130 range when I finished. I thought it would be perfect but it was chewy...

    Brisket Point with nice bark & beautiful smoke ring

    We had a freezer stop working (tripped a breaker) and I wound up with a Point that thawed out that needed to be cooked. Ok, I'll step up and take on this challenge! In line with my "keep it simple because I'm lazy" concept I fired up the Yoder with 100% hickory, trimmed the brisket point and...
