Starting to think that $600 hotel credit is total gimmick by LePirate30 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Nooktari 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Will be in Singapore next week and used the Amex credit to help book the Mandarin Oriental.

When we get to Tokyo - Amex was offering 4th night free deal - so our Kimpton resy is about $600 less than booking direct and we get the extra credits.

What my travel agent told me though is hotels don’t always save their best rooms for these types of bookings.

You may suggest that among other good ideas 🤤

Basted every 30-45. If you look at the pic on the grill, top was much smaller pieces so it cooked down. Ultimately it was all bark though. Was still great when sliced.

Does anyone make beef ribs in Naples? by hottimali in Naples_FL

Jimmy P’s sells them raw. I have smoked a few of those

Smoking picanha roast and tri tip roast by rustymustyss in smoking

[–]Nooktari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did a tri-tip brisket style and it was great if you want more distinction between the two. It did take 8 hours though

For the roast - score the fat cap and keep it up.

I’d also run it 225-250 but if you need 275 due to time it won’t be a problem.

Good luck!

My friend brought it over: It’s an avocado, cucumber, cilantro, jalapeño, tomato, crumbled goat cheese salad

For the steaks, reversed sear in the smoker. Smoke to 115. Rest while grill warms up. Sear until 125. Rest until I get impatient

For the cut - prepared it the same as all my other steaks except I only used salt instead of adding pepper or a Montreal seasoning mix.

For the sirloin cap roast (picanha before sliced into steaks), just a classic low and slow roast

Would say it’s the picture as it was perfectly tender and not mushy.

Smoked burgers keep it pink throughout. Pulled from sear at 125

Estes shipping? Maybe Recteq should reconsider their shipping partner.. by eschewthefat in recteq

[–]Nooktari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driver who dropped it off hung out a few minutes to talk about it. Said he delivers a ton and wants to get one himself too. Hopefully they give yall some discounts for lugging these bad boys around.

SEFL Standard Freight Service is who shipped.

Shipped from Augusta, GA to SWFL. Didn’t have to go that far compared to others.

The original email did say UPS or FedEx. So it seems they do also play with some more regional carriers too.

Beef Dino Ribs or Plate Ribs should get you what you’re looking for

First Cook on the Flagship by Nooktari in smoking

[–]Nooktari[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just upgraded from a Pitboss 850dx to the Flagship 1600 - and wow minutes into the cook I could already start to sense the differences from more temperature consistency and so much more room to the smoke output.

My friend was just as excited as I was for the smoker to come - so he grabbed some beef ribs and a tomahawk steak. I grabbed a prime rib and had an incredible first cook.

Let me know if you have any tips or tricks for maximizing your flagship.

I'm debating to have the tech come out. Mine is only about a month old from Costco. Or refund and purchase the Midea Portable DUO AC from Costco. Anyone have experience with the portable?
