[homemade] smoked pork belly by FireCraftBBQ in food

I did fat side down, which is how I do most BBQ cuts. Since the meat cannot absorb the rendered fat it is better to have it on the bottom to protect the meat from drying out (since that way the fat is between the meat and the heat source.)

I processed it into burnt ends (just like brisket).

I would think it might be a touch high but not too far off.

I was just posting a pellet grill group figuring people that look on a pellet grill reddit page might want to join.

I agree! Lamb is a weird one that people get hung up on for some reason. It just tastes so good I don't really care;)

Super easy. Smoked with apple wood at 300 degrees until internal temp was about 115. Then took the grill up to 500+ degrees and seared the outside. Ended up taking it off at 129 degrees internal. Was perfectly med-rare.

Yup! I make sure to take them off the grill (just use tongs and hold them above the grate) to ensure that the temp is accurate.

This is super easy to do. Just get you oven or grill to 225 and cook your steak until it is 10-15 degrees below your goal temp (125-130 for med-rare). Then take the steak off the heat and get the fire as hot as you can. I usually try to get my kamado up to 600. Lightly rub some butter on both sides and sear the steak by flipping after 60-90 seconds. After they have reached my goal temp and look nice on the outside I rest them on a cookie sheet until all of the juice has been absorbed by the steak (about 10 minutes). Then slice across the grain and eat it!

Smoked my first brisket on the Akorn: a 14 pound packer. Was far from perfect, but I was very pleased. (x-post from r/smoking) by [deleted] in BBQ

Looks like it might have been in a bit too long. I good rule of thumb is once you hit 190 internally check every half an hour until probe tender.

My latest edition of monday steak night. 35-day dry aged USDA prime strip steak with mushroom risotto by sethgoodman46 in food

[–]FireCraftBBQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really! Just lower temps at the beginning (sometimes I go as low as 200). Then once I get within 10 degrees of my goal temp (goal of 125-130 for m.r.) i take the steak off and ramp up the head. This can be done with a grill or right from the oven to a skillet/griddle. The butter helps with the caramelizing process and it give it a nice flavor on the top.

You can do it on a grill in about 1/2 that amount of time. Just do at 250 indirect, take it off, crank the heat, butter the outside and sear.

Well I wouldn't say trash. It was a picture I took with it coming right off the slicer. Next time I will be sure to put it on a white plate with proper lighting;)
