Offishul YellowSnow's Record Shoppe BBQ/meat smoking thread

I did a couple pork butts yesterday with some apple wood on the charcoal. Decided to experiment with some cinnamon in one of the rubs and it turned out awesome. Highly recommend.

How long did it take?

7 hours cook time. It was one butt that I cut into two pieces - I would estimate about 3.5 lbs each not including the weight of the bone in one half which took a little longer to finish. I had the bbq nailed at 233* for most of the cook, but I did wrap with foil for the final 90 minutes to power through the stall since we had guests over.

I like taking a larger butt and halving it for more surface area/bark, shorter cook time, and the chance to make different rubs.

I need to install a proper thermometer on my Weber. I've always just guessed, and usually I'm right. I mean I'm a Weber whisperer when it comes to controlling airflow and when to add more charcoal. But I'd like to be more precise moving forward.

For temperature, I have each of these. Both have shown to be accurate, although the wireless one just took a dump and is getting replaced under warranty.

Oh, I mean for the Weber itself vs the meat. I have the most cheap OG version of the Weber 22inch kettle which doesn't come with all the bells and whistles like you fancy Kent cuntry club one.

Yeah, both of those measure ambient temp in the grill much more accurately than the lid thermometer does.
 
bbQ'd wings today - @YellowSnow stopped by for a couple of wings and beers. I made a good trade - 3 wings for 3 bottles of some yuppie IPA that is pretty good. Wood give the name except I would have to walk out to the cooler. Had a nice convo with @YellowSnow about life in general and UW football. Hardly pissed off MrsIamnotinLebam.

that is how I rate things - did I pissed her off? scale 1-5 about a 2

He did smoke too many of my cheap swisher sweets

Old people love me. As a student of History I can speak their language and my manners are decent.
 
Did a pork tenderloin on the BBQ this evening.

Tri-tip roast today. Charcoal with some hickory chunks. Ended up at 136 internal temp after the rest. Sliced across the grain about a quarter inch thick and it's like cotton candy. The day-after cold cut sandwiches are awesome, too.

I complete you @BleachedAnusDawg. I cooked two trip tips yesterday. But to 135 with mesquite.

Taco Tuesday with the leftovers
 
Page 7 for God's sake. Pork butt as we salute America with beer and fire. Powered through the stall without wrapping and kept temps under 250 90% of the cook. Charcoal in the Weber with apple wood chunks.

Didn't get a super heavy smoke ring, but had plenty of smoke taste, which doesn't make to much sense unless the extra fat rendering out of this has something to do with it. That wagyu was definitely worth the small bit of extra cash.

nice bark, chief.
 
Not BBQ, but bought a sous vide circulator recently and gave it a try at some halibut last night. First time I've ever avoided overcooking fish! It's really a cheat code for perfectly cooking meat all the way through. Now I'm itching to give it a try with some steaks.
 
A neighbor in my hood was giving this away for free. Picked it up and will start the reconditioning on it. No rust. It’s natural gas and I have it on my patio, just never cooked with natural gas on a grill before.

Needs all new burners, hear plates, flavorizer bars, and knobs. Neighbor said it fired up fine so I am going to skip the igniters.
