It is two filet roasts smoked on the pellet grill for around two and a half hours. Then wrapped in a pineapple and bacon, while finished on a regular grill.

Aight... just almost ashamed to post mama's famous green pepper/worcestershire burgers after all the gourmet foods that have graced this page so far... but, we do grill alot so I could probably post in here four days a week.

Besides... Paw Paw's Peach makes the pic great anyway. 

 

 

Been missing that peach wheat beer, so I bought a case while.up in Bama. 

Nothing wrong with a good burger!!!

Try the nectarines if you like them. Try to get one that’s still hard. Get the sweet crunch to go with the heat. If you don’t have garlic breath few days later you didn’t put enough. 🤷‍♂️

Move also added cucumbers to my salsa before and thought it was hella good. Wife didn’t think so... 

Im in a diet so hard to throw down my normal Q right now but I did pick up a ham to smoke this weekend. Have to take my mom to New Mexico tomorrow so put it on hold for few days. 😩

It works well with a pork loin also

[DevilDog]

I don't eat pork but make my own beef Bacon from the brisket flat.  I will use it in a similar fashion as @NotBigdaddybloom did but use a lamb or goat leg to wrap and smoke.  Also this veal that I get at a specialty store is very close to  Bacon or Ham flavor.  Very good but expensive.  It's.A cured Veal roll.  I have served it to guests for breakfast and they thought it was Canadian Bacon or Ham 🤣  Negative:  Imported from Bosnia.

Thanks Warrior hitting that diet thing as well. Actually needed to cook some thing and hit the freezer and gave most of it away. Next up for me will be Grilled Quails.  No Carbs just meat and Veges.  

[HawgGoneIt]

Talking about diets... low carb or no carb... I had to shift to low off the no due to my like of beers..

 

Here is a low carb 

One Garlic and herb salmon filet and one greek filet

Shoulda used my fish/veggie basket but I thought I could turn the fish without it due to past experience. The greek filet broke, but, still was great. 

 

And grilled zucchinni slices for the side

Good day my fellow Meat meets Fire Guru's.🤣 Well in the Beef Capital of America we feel that we do it best.  I know You 3 have posted your Mouth watering, Succulent meat concoctions.  I know the BBQ (not Grill) big difference season is upon us and I am throwing down the Gauntlet.  I have fired up the old Wood Turbine and Brisket,  Pastrami Brined Turkey, chicken legs and Pastrami Brined Beef Ribs. 

What you got?  Can't wait to see you come back. We can make this a great thread for the season.  Good luck Texas rules. 

 

Damn it all DD, now you made me hungry for some Rudy's and I live in Florida... Thanks a lot Bro...

[DevilDog]

Back Gents.  Mom loves my homemade Cirned Beef and Pastrami.  Just finished 10 days in a brine and she will have all the Corned Beef and Pastrami she can handle on Mother's Day.  Will cook Corned Beef and smoke the Flat after rubbing in Pastrami seasoning.  So damn Good.  I never pay for either.  Even my N.Y. Jewish homies gotta give it up.  Kosher all damn day. 12.5lbs of ummm ummm goodness. Just break out that Rye Bread with some bold Mustard or Mayo.  Next up will get a smaller Brisket and make some homemade Beef Bacon.  Where my 3 homies at. 😎

I’m not a fan of corned beef unless there’s not a lot of that spice (?) seasoning on it. and def no damn rye bread for me! I like some good pastrami though. I ve never made bacon. I almost did and after researching I decided it was much easier buying it! Didn’t want to do the brine thing for week or 2. Looking good! You broke in liquid or salt or ? 

Had this for lunch today at my wife’s work. Not shown is the bacon Mac n cheese, chili and bread I can’t eat.  Haha. Im not a big fan of brisket but it was ok. I’ll take Tri tip every day  over brisket myself.

Wet brine.  Bro you gotta come to Texas.  Brisket over Tri-Tip.  My Mother loves me making her corned Beef I control the salt content.  I love both Corned beef and Pastami which is just corned beef smoked and steamed.  Nice Paleo lunch.   I'm doing the prehistoric thing meat and feces.  No Carbs.

Doing the same. Down 20 lbs in 5 weeks. Working good so far and feel lot healthier and energized and focused. How’s it working for you? 

[HawgGoneIt]

Aight. Never smoked beef ribs, and I had all these rib sections left from when I've bulk bought rib roasts and then hand cut them for ribeye steaks. 

Seasoned with kosher salt and Surefire Sid's Black Powder seasoning. Using a combo of mesquite, hickory and apple wood.

 

 

After they bark up in a couple of hours, I'll start spritzing with vinegar/water solution every so often. Hoping for them to be ready in roughly 5 more hours from now. 

 

I have some corn on the cob that I'll smoke on there at a little lower temp while the beef ribs rest for about an hour. 

 

Will it be a spectacular meal, or just another bbq/smoker nightmare in south Georgia? 

 

[HawgGoneIt]

Here is the two and a half hour mark and the first water/vinegar solution spritzing...

 

 

Not sure about time left. Starting.to see some bone showing in places. Probably start checking internal temps in the next spritz session. Probably an hour or hour and a half from now.

Take them to 200-205 degrees. Then they’ll be perfect. Once you find a temp you like for texture and moisture, they’ll always come out the same and you won’t have much variance in success  Cooking to temp instead of time really works wonders. 

Disregard if your experienced in this. Haha.

They getting good pull back on bone. In my experience you shouldn’t need 5 hrs cooking at that temp. I usually go 200-225 when smoking. 

You can always do a beef broth mixed with your favorite seasoning or wine and dip them in that a few times last few hours. 

Making me hungry! I’ll be throwing down a few items tomorrow for mother’s day

Can always savage as long as not burnt. Lol. If over cooked, pull from bone and saturate in fav sauce and have a samich!
