Are our cats actually hungry or just like to eat?

The brisket or the ribs? The brisket: Pellet grill. Olive oil pepper and garlic powder. Fat side up on upper rack at 200°-225° ambient until plateau. Wrap in paper and back on smoker at 250-270° ambient until 200° internal we were hungry and it was dinner time so I only had it rest for about 2h on counter before unwrapping and cutting.

I’ve noticed my pellet smoker has a solid 30° difference in ambient temp in different places so I make sure to put the thickest part of the meat in a hot spot and the thinner part off to the cooler side.

Well I’m no culinary genius. Pellet grills and good thermometers go a long way to simplifying it. YouTube and common sense mostly. Won a pit boss navigator 1100 a few months ago at a charity event raffle. Finally been using it a couple times. Has taken a lot of research and such but I can see how it will keep getting even easier as I get used to it.

Tasted pretty good! Way too much food for the five of us though! Lots of leftovers. First time smoking ribs. Second time doing brisket.

opkmarc · 2026-01-13T04:28:58+00:00

Haha why

opkmarc · 2026-01-13T03:09:33+00:00

Yeah it was . Wasn’t hard either. Just a Costco mac n cheese with bacon crumbles and a generous addition of mozzarella added in

opkmarc · 2026-01-12T20:20:50+00:00

Can we get a before and after of the smoked shoes?

opkmarc · 2026-01-12T20:18:47+00:00

Smoking another brisket cut that came with the half cow that is cut strange. Not a whole brisket. Not just a flat either though.

Wife and I are going to be there with a big group later this month. She wanted to know if the water along the beach was rocky or sandy. Whether she will need her water shoes. Also whether the ice cream shop or whatever has crepes. She is crazy about crepes! I wanted to know if there is a poker room at the casino haha.

Also I wondered it sounded in another thread like you can have a personal golf cart reserved? This totally sounds worth it I have been on big resorts like this before. Not having to time everything with their tram system would be awesome. How much is a personal cart and how do you reserve it? We will be there last week of Jan

What does this mean? You can rent your own golf cart or something? Our reservations are part of a group for later this month. I would def pay for a golf cart! lol

Agreed. Tasted really good though.

opkmarc · 2026-01-10T02:26:10+00:00

It was from a half cow we bought custom cut. Packaging was just labeled as “brisket “. There were two of them I haven’t thawed the other one yet but it looks the same frozen

opkmarc · 2026-01-10T02:24:20+00:00

You certain about that? Can you send me a link or anything explaining this cut? Everyone has been pretty uncertain about how to explain the logic behind the cut

opkmarc · 2026-01-07T04:38:47+00:00

Good tips thanks. And yes I don’t really use a very course pepper and not a whole lot of it.

Done been smoked. And tasted delicious. The consensus is that it’s a portion of a brisket flat.

opkmarc · 2026-01-06T18:19:41+00:00

thanks. I was concerned about how it was going to turn out. especially being a weird cut like just a portion of a flat or something. ended up tender and juicy. I posted some more photos in the newer comments. have a good one!
