    Tri-Tip Rub

    Team - Im looking for a good tri tip rub. What ive been using, and I like very much - is Black peper, salt, garlic, onion powder and chili powder. I use mostly pepper, with slightly less of an equal amount of salt, then the remaining sprinkled in, more or less. Anybody have something different ?

    Smoking Pork Tenderloin - Mozzerella Cheese inside

    Last weekend I made a Chgo style pizza and had mozzarella cheese left over. The wife doesn't like pork, but put cheese on it / in it - and shes in !!

Heres the beginning plan - Put my own rub on...

    Brisket - Cooked to perfection on Electric Smoker Masterbuilt

     Many times I've seen where people have asked about smoking brisket and have it come out dry. It happened to me the first time and it will never happen again! The mistake people make, and me included was to cook it like another piece of meat to an internal temp of 165. That's the mistake! Here...

    Meat in Corona Area

    Anyone know where to get good beef ribs? Ive been counting on Albertsons - who used to be fantastic, but they have new butchers now and dont like to make beef ribs unless they make individual ribs (Who does that ? and how do you get the membrane off of them?) or they cut them up which is also...
