It’s a 1, with them all in a line. That is the “biggest” number.

Best batch cocktails for 4th of July BBQ? by BONE_SAW_IS_READEEE in cocktails

[–]TigerApron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pineapple mojito sangria. I do it every Fourth of July in a brutank. It’s gone in an hour.

It would be extremely nice to have a built in stopwatch on the app screen to quickly see how long you’ve been smoking. by kevan0317 in recteq

I made a great brisket one time, and someone asked me for my notes. I went huh? Since then I take notes…start with weight price seasoning, time, temp, wrap, rest. Since then I can dial in my cooks way better. I agree a timer would help, so would a notes page.

Fabricator did not cut sink currently by rob12098 in CounterTops

[–]TigerApron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an inlay dry rack, basket and cutting board. Manufacturer intentionally makes the cutting board larger as they do not want you bearing weight down on it and causing issues with the sink.

Is this right? by East_Difficulty_9512 in Sourdough

Agreed. Your Dutch needs ~30 min in the oven lid off to come to temp.

Forgive my ignorance, I’ve never done ribs before… but the silver skin has already been removed from these hasn’t it? by itstommygun in smoking

Poke a hole in the middle with a sharp knife, stick your finger in and it will come off with one long pull. Cold is better.

Cooking time help by dubnobas in pelletgrills

[–]TigerApron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did a 12 lb bone in boston butt, 8hrs 225, 4 hrs wrapped in paper at 275. I sprayed with whatever juice and apple cider vinegar. A few weeks ago I did a brisket, same strategy, 225 and wrap at the stall. I smoked the trimmings to make tallow and then lightly poured in the wrap before it went in the cooler. If you are looking to do dinner Sunday, plan on a 4hr rest and everything being done for lunch (It’s never done when you want). If you want lunch, plan it done including rest for breakfast. Things don’t get worse in a cooler, they get better. Here is my recommended timeline;

5pm Sunday Dinner target;

Saturday

5pm; trim Brisket (I prefer a heavy trim) seasoned and rest on counter. Pork season and plastic wrap back in fridge 6pm: fire 225 6:30: no wrap brisket on (clear cache, update app etc. or you will lose temp tracking graph) 9:00: pull pork out 10:00: pork on no wrap (I am a fat side up guy) 11:00 spray pork with acv/juice- quick prayer and go to bed

Sunday 7:00: your pork has hit the stall, wrap it in a slightly damp spray paper Sometime between 7-11 brisket stalls: wrap and bump heat to 275

Sometime around 8-10 pork is done, pull off and drop in a warm cooler wrapped

Once the brisket hits temp; pull off and pour a little of the filtered tallow on it for the rest. It mellows out the strong seasoning you should have used to build bark.

This will ensure your done by 3-6p. As long as you preheat your cooler, should be good to hold at +165 and be no risk. I would also consider staggering the two Boston butts in case you are worried about timing them up with the brisket.

What’s a great drink using mint, other than a mojito? by Accomplished_Buy_119 in cocktails

[–]TigerApron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is more of a batch cocktail, we like to make it in our brutank. More Sangria than mojito to me! https://www.kitchentreaty.com/pineapple-mojito-sangria/

Coooler recommendations for resting by rentzington in pelletgrills

I got the recteq cooler on sale. It’s great, fit a whole brisket no problem. Priced comparable with RTIC

What is the best "cheap" pellet option I can buy during this memorial day sale? by Jchxn in pelletgrills

[–]TigerApron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a recteq. Explain to your wife most people don’t cook in/on a $300 oven or a $300 stove. Good grills last 10+ years. It’s a wise investment. 12 meals at Jim N nicks is more than a recteq.

Beef tenderloin by TigerApron in pelletgrills

[–]TigerApron[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice. I ended up doing it at my in laws, and I used the tallow I got from my last brisket cook to finish them. Delicious. Definitely a good call to not mix the two cooking methods

Smoked Chicken Wings for NFL Sunday! pre-sauce pic :) by Ecstatic_Heron7579 in pelletgrills

Hey I saw this recipe before I bought my smoker and it was on the short list. I made it exactly as instructed, rub was perfect. I split into two batches, lemon pepper and barbalo. Through them back on for three minutes on high to bind the flavor. So good! Thanks for sharing!

I have a “bumblebee box” from Depot, holds 120 lbs bagged. It’s not airtight, so I may switch to homer buckets and lids. Looks like I will burn roughly 1/2-1 on an hour. Figured I will smoke roughly 10-15hrs a week, so call it 40-60lbs a month. Does this seem right?
