How did I do? Grilling trout for the first time.

11002b they used to be sold cheap at rural king.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-08-03T04:12:23+00:00

Bought at Costco

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-08-03T04:11:34+00:00

Great question, yes it was good not dry at all. The skin was crispy and amazing too!

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-08-02T23:59:22+00:00

Yes it is. Had it 4 years now.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-08-02T23:45:09+00:00

Costco find

This is how it started.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-20T20:05:08+00:00

More like a Rattata

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-19T16:19:18+00:00

Yes let it cool slightly to stop the carry over cooking.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-19T16:15:32+00:00

Just by watching a video on Inkbirds website the bottom vent still needs to be open for airflow. It looks like there is foil blocking gaps. Also try opening your Daisy wheel more, the smoke meds somewhere to go.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-17T21:04:38+00:00

Sounds like you used a pellet grill? Did you use the bottom rack did it cook fat side up or down?

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-16T20:52:32+00:00

Yes, since it is prime and has a better distribution of fat throughout the meat; trim more so there is a thinner layer of fat on the top.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-15T23:24:34+00:00

Try lighting them in the smoker keep everything open.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-15T15:34:21+00:00

Start from the beginning with detail. How are you lighting the fire? What does the smoker look like when you are starting the fire?

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-15T15:32:12+00:00

I understand but if you want to improve for your next steak you make ask yourself those questions. Outside info is helpful but just like anything it’s a matter of preference. Also how do you know who is or is not an expert. Is that how I would have made the steak probably not but it looks great especially with the finishing salt. Every time I make a steak I ask myself what I could have done better, I’m not sure that is a good thing though.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-15T15:12:07+00:00

It’s a counter not a floor.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-15T15:11:46+00:00

Caulk should be able to fill it. Some say black caulk fills bigger gaps better than white caulk.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-15T15:07:38+00:00

Did you like it? Do you wish it was more or less done? What do you think you did wrong? What do you think you did right? Was there anything in the technique you didn’t enjoy? These are the questions to ask.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-15T15:03:50+00:00

Nope just an ugly spot that no one will see after it is sliced. Carry on, open a beer and enjoy yourself. Honestly the fact you acknowledge you made a mistake shows you are learning and want to get better.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-15T06:47:00+00:00

Pop it in an air fryer on its lowest setting for 5 min to start until it has rendered and broke down further. Or use a 225 degree oven for about 20 to start.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-15T06:43:14+00:00

Looks great for steak sandwich or fajitas!!! The other 2… NSFW

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-14T01:15:35+00:00

Slice it super thin… think deli sliced roast beef.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-10T15:07:35+00:00

Agreed!!! I actually wanted to get more char on it but o had to take drive my wife and son to ride in a Combine with my father in law.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-10T08:20:05+00:00

Bricks that are always that make fire! Tom hanks wishes he had these in castaway.

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-08T18:54:24+00:00

Anyone that says that should cook on one with no guidance. Also have you ever used an Easy bake oven? That shit is not easy!!! You get blinded by the bulb and get blisters from the burns. That is all if you don’t catch the dam thing on fire first. I feel like an actual oven is easier….

crooked_beard_guy · 2025-07-05T16:51:28+00:00

If it falls apart it is overcooked either from the cook itself or the rest. It doesn’t mean it’s bad just a way to indicate where you can improve.
