98Z5V Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) I don't think so, brother... Did he stud the heads on that? Or stock headbolts? Edited May 24, 2023 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may need to borrow a smoker since I don't usually have the space to bring one. Or maybe I'll have to go to Texas something about going to the mountain if the mountain will not come...

Stud those heads with ARP studs. Stock headbolts are all Torque-To-Yeild stretch bolts. TTY, those bolts can be used one time, and you stretch them to get the torque you need. They suck. ARP headstud that thing, and it's a much better engine, after that. With the engine already together, you can do them one at a time, to factory torque, replace them one at a time, all factory torque, then torque them all down to the ARP recommended torque (which is much higher). Don't even need to replace the head gaskets that way. Tell him to get those poop SHIIT factory headbolts out of there. Step one for bulletproofing that engine. Edited May 24, 2023 by 98Z5V I had to edit becaue "poop" is really SHIIT... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepp Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 So the west coast guys will probably disown me for this but today, @DNP All ready called me a monster. I smoked a nice fatty tri tip like a brisket and it turned out really good. Was is brisket? No, but it was super tender and beefy, YES! for a single guy 3#’s is more manageable than 13 also. 250° for 2 hours or till it hit 160°, wrap in butcher paper, gave the paper a little slather of beef tallow, wrapped tight and put it back on @ 275° till 200° and rested in the cooler for 45 min or so.

Sisco Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Looks great. I never see tri tip around here. It is a major Midwest failing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepp Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Smoked a chicken and roasted veggies. Chicken was ok, it was a local farm raised one which is cool and all but those fatties from the grocery store cook up so much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepp Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 piggly wiggly porterhouse I really need to quit being lazy and use my thermometer when I reverse sear. Went low and slow at 180 till 105, pulled it, cranked her up to 450. Shot the grill grates with the inferred gun they were at 425. Seared/turned/flipped/turned till 125° pulled and rested till it stoped really climbing (134.5-135°) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
