Grilling

[Armed Eye Doc]

I found a couple of chuck roasts in the mark-down section and wanted to try something different.  I marinated them overnight in a hot and spicy marinade.

Then put them on the pellet grill at about 250.

I wrapped them up at 165°F with some beef tallow for extra moisture.

I pulled them at about 201-4 (depending on where I measured).  It took almost 12 hours to finish.  I did not let it rest nearly long enough (about 30 minutes) because I was hungry and it was past my bedtime.

It looks good and tastes good but there's no hint of the hot and spicy marinade.  I will try this again but use more marinade for longer.  I will also use my propane smoker.  It gives better smoke.  It needs to be left on for a few more degrees to be slightly more tender.

If I can get it to taste right, I may bring this to the fall shoot instead of pulled pork.

That’s one thing I found with smoking chuck roasts they seem to get alittle  chewy. I wonder if instead of wrapping them you put them on a pan with some of the drippings with foil over them to finish would help

Reverse seared a center cut loin chop, 200° for 40-45 min then seared each side for about 2.5 min at 450°. Turned out tender and juicy.

Now I know why I needed a pork belly!? Shepp you inspire brother! 

I had the day off and splurged for smoked pork. A belly for burnt ends, and a sholder for the mix.. damn good eats! 🍻

 

 

I'm going to try pork belly burnt ends tomorrow for the first time ever.  Gonna follow a meat church process including his sauce recipe.  Hope it turns out as good as yours looks!

I bought some beef ribs because they were on sale.

I cooked them on the pellet grill after marinating them overnight.

They had a good flavor and looked good.

Final thoughts are that this part of the beef rib has too much connective tissue and not enough meat.  I will not buy them again.  @shepp says to look for beef plate ribs, aka Dino ribs.
