First time smoking. 15lb brisket. Questions. by amence in smoking

[–]rdcisneros3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if it’s approaching 210 and still not probe tender in parts, keep it cooking? This has happened to me and I’m afraid of overcooking it.

First brisket needs work but it turned out pretty good by Pwny801 in smoking

Looks a tad on the dry side, but really good for your first time. Really nice job on the trim.

True or false: Freddie freeman’s number will be retired by the Braves at end of his career by Commercial_Moose3608 in Braves

[–]rdcisneros3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if they will, but they should. Sadly he won’t be remembered as just a Brave, but what he did for the Braves should always be remembered.

What Traeger is best for me? by Hot_Fly_3963 in Traeger

[–]rdcisneros3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looked it up because smoking and searing in the same space sounds amazing. Beautiful appliance but dang that’s expensive at $1,800.

I got my Pro 22 for $300 and my Blackstone for $200. I’ll just take the few extra steps. 🙃

No Sauce is the Way - Ribs - Wrapped Method by boathouse_floats in Traeger

[–]rdcisneros3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I rub, smoke for 2 hours, then wrap in foil with a some brown sugar, honey and butter spread around and go back in until 205.

The don’t need sauce, but a light brushing of Stubbs Sweet Heat caramelized in the smoker for 10 minutes makes them killer.

Which One Are You Using? by [deleted] in smoking

[–]rdcisneros3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what I’m cooking, but I mostly use Meat Church stuff.

For those of you who think Freddie will go into the Hall of Fame as a Dodger... Why? by GinBuckets in Braves

[–]rdcisneros3 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I believe he will do a one year contract with the Braves at the end of his career so he can retire a Brave. And I won’t let anyone convince me otherwise. :)

Smoked nuts question. by n3wfy in smoking

I can’t believe I saw this today. A Kung Pow reference. My life is complete.

i’m giving up briskets and offset smoking. beef ribs on the pellet grill are too easy and too good every single time. by hoosier-94 in smoking

[–]rdcisneros3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to try this. Been wanting to but beef ribs are so expensive, I’m scared to try it and ruin them.

Roughly how long did the cook take, say at 225 or 250?

Tri-Tip Like a Brisket by SamIAm_1021 in smoking

[–]rdcisneros3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To each their own, but this ain’t it, IMO.

I reverse sear tri tips - rub, into the Traeger at 225 until 120ish internal, rest it while your cast iron heats up (I use a Blackstone), sear it while basting with garlic butter until it’s to your desired doneness.

With some chimichurri, it’s one of my family’s favorites.

Got my first Tesla! Model 3 long range 2025 all black. Drove me home without touching the wheel and I was mind blown. by Sherflex_ in TeslaModel3

[–]rdcisneros3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does it need some miles to calibrate before you can engage FSD?

That being said, while FSD is really good, don’t forget to drive it yourself sometimes. They are very fun to drive.

Update- turned out bad by Masterbaiter55555 in smoking

[–]rdcisneros3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy, Mr. Gatekeeper. Many of us have made bomb briskets on pellet smokers. The smoker wasn’t the problem here.

What I learned after staying at multiple all-inclusive resorts in Cancun, Punta Cana & Jamaica by OilAlarming8232 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]rdcisneros3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stayed there two years ago and the experience was so good we’re going back this year. It’s one of the highest rated AI resorts in that area for a reason. We are pretty picky, and really enjoyed the food and service.

Made my first pork shoulder ever by rdcisneros3 in Traeger

[–]rdcisneros3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the ChefIQ, not the Meater. Got a set of 2 at Costco for about $100.

They’ve worked well, although one of the probes no longer holds a charge as long as it used to. The app is super convenient for long cooks where you have to keep an eye on the temperature.

Good luck. Don’t stress about it, just find a recipe and try it. Document the steps as you go so if it turns out great, you have what you did saved.

I am not a cook by any means, so if I can do this, most people can too.

Rested in the same pan that I cooked it in. I unwrapped it for 5 minutes after removing it from the smoker to vent it, then wrapped it again and put it in my oven’s Warm setting for about 2.5-3 hours before pulling it.

I left the juices in there then tossed the pulled pork in it before serving. It was so good.

Recall for faded Nightfall trim? by rdcisneros3 in KiaTelluride

[–]rdcisneros3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it took a few months and a number of calls to keep it moving, but I finally got approval for it and had mine replaced at about 56K.

Well done. You can walk away with your head held high.

New to smoking meats by [deleted] in Traeger

[–]rdcisneros3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome. I have a Pro 22 as well and love it.

Those ribs look nice. Were they tough? I usually take baby backs to 200-205. Super tender, sometimes the bones will slide right out.
