    Made some beef tallow

    I found a place in (Oceanside, CA, just north of San Diego) that makes their fries in beef tallow. Tanner's Prime Burger. I haven't been but will at some point as my daughter is going to school there for the next few years.

    What is this 'dark meat' part of the pork loin?

    Is that for Berkshire Pork Loins? That's a great deal. I think Costco charges about the same for regular pork loins

    What is this 'dark meat' part of the pork loin?

    I'm sure some place sells it here in Los Angeles...but it probably costs WAY more than what you pay. The stores I go to that sell Berkshire pork bellies charge $6-9/lb.

    What is this 'dark meat' part of the pork loin?

    Whoa! I never considered curing/smoking a loin for fear the lighter meat would come out too dry. But that looks delish! I bet that makes a mean pork loin sammie.

    What is this 'dark meat' part of the pork loin?

    Thanks all - Sounds like it's not it's own 'cut'. SmokerJim - I was thinking the same thing...that it's like the cap of the beef ribeye. Costco (and other butchers) sell ribeye cap by itself. I wonder if they will ever sell the pork version...Mmmm

    Oh man...I love me some Berkshire Pork to begin with. I need to be on the lookout for whole loins. Where do you get them from?

    What is this 'dark meat' part of the pork loin?

    Hello all, I've been buying whole pork loins from Costco for years. I always try to find the loins that have the biggest portion of this darker band of meat attached. It is, like most dark meats, more moist and flavorful than lighter meat next to it. Does anyone know if this part of the...

    Dry Aging and Wagyu... Life is good.

    Hello! I haven't been an active poster here on SMF but have been reading up a lot ever since I decided to try my hand at dry aging beef at home. I have a similar type of fridge (Magic Chef drink fridge) and wanted to know a little more about your set up: 1. Do you use an internal fan? (looks...

    "Ugly Duckling" Dry Aged - Salt Crusted - Prime Rib Roast - Q/View

    Hi Mr T, Wow...I know I'm late coming to this thread but WOW! As an American of Korean descent, I totally agree with your statement! LOL!!!  If I wasn't raised on the stuff, I might have thought anyone eating kimchi would have needed his head examined as well as his sense of smell I've never...

    First Brisket **AFTER** finding this great forum!

    Thanks Bill.  I still have the flat left to smoke. If I go to 200F IT it will be even juicier? I've always been scared it would get too dried out. But hey! I'm here to learn and experiment.  As for the burnt ends, I definitely will try that. The other newb who Q-viewed his burnt ends recently...

    First Brisket **AFTER** finding this great forum!

    Remember the first time you had a really GREAT smoked beef brisket? It was moist, flavorful, smokey goodness. I do, and it's haunted me ever since.  I've tried to make a great smoked brisket a number of times but never got great results.  One the rare occasion I found a point, the results were...

    using a cookshack in tuff shed for cold smoking

    Or you can stack it on some broken appliances (like my avatar...) BTW, what are you using for the fitting that connects the end of your flex tubing to the top of the smoker? I need one of those! Greg
