[pugboy]

if its boneless then better yet

[pugboy]

they come in a net wrapping.
the problem is you will slice it up and put it in your mouth
and it will never reach the table

interested to know opinions of this.

^^Just finished a 22oz CAB Rib Eye with Kingsford Mesquite coals & my own garlic bread.

Ribeye bought @ Hi Lo St Augustine for $93.27 (I asked them to give me a special cut 1.25' thick. Would have preferred the Porter House but was feeling lazy to drive to POS (Malabar gourmet sotre)








These coals gave it a really nice flavor.

Steak done medium rare.

It tasted great !

Read the warning on the kingsford coals... they cause cancer. (not might cause, they cause cancer.)

personally im going more toward natural gas these days. Need to fix up my pit with a burner.

anyone ever saw brining salt or sodium nitrite selling?

[pugboy]

the Morton Tender Quick used for making/curing ham, beef pastrami etc is a mix of
sodium nitrite ands sodium nitrate

i bought some at Ibrahims, henry street a while ago when I did some curing stuff

[Chemical]

Well I did some beef ribs this evening......came out excellent !











Enough booze & beef for November.

[pugboy]

looking real good, where you buy them from ?
moonlight used to have a box of them ribs with fries for $25

[Chemical]

Thanx...P/Smart S/Fernando.

Will be doing a Pot Roast for Xmas. Will take pics when finished.

[X_Factor]

u all ever saw other types of wood chips other than the hickory and mesquite

[Chemical]

Yep...peakes & BHW had apple chunks but have not seen for the while. Leaning towards a gas grill prob a Char Broil pro series. The coals are getting way too expensive especially P/Smart.

[SR]

go char broil
replacment parts easy to get online and from wallmart

stay away fro what pricemart sellin unless u know parts are available

abc had a killer deal on the char broil units about 2 months ago

[pugboy]

a neighbour just cut down an entire guava tree, I didn't have time or resources to take much
only a few little pieces

if you don't mind the mess and dust the guyanese coals work out a lot cheaper

I missed that one.

waste of time....very difficult to control heat, especially if you enjoy slow cooking.

[pugboy]

not really, if you know your equipment, how much to light and how much air to let in etc
I use them all the time on my stumps clone smoker, weber wsm(12hr+) as well as weber one touch gold grill

[Chemical]

^^point taken.....my pit is a very shallow one compared to the webber coal pits, however the local coals are broken up into may pieces & not uniformed like the kingsford & I don't particular like the flavour.

[pugboy]

I see Jack Warner place in Carenage selling beef, they run an ad in papers earlier this week.
I going to see tomorrow what they have, looking for a rib roast for xmas.

[Chemical]

^^Where exactly is this place, whats its name & is there a Tel #.

[pugboy]

694-2510
the jet ski place in carenage
i suspect they might be selling a lower grade though

[X_Factor]

smoker working sooo sweet!!
not as hot as i thought it would have been
but i can usually get between 150-200deg F constantly

[pugboy]

I went to the Warner's jetski place to check out the meat.
Apparently Daryan opened 2 bbq places but they buss because of staffing problems
they imported a pile of beef, pork and chicken, cases and cases.
Plenty Tbone and ribeye steaks, cut on the thin side though 3/4"
but vac sealed. I buying a couple cases tomorrow.
They have pork spares and baby backs but those not vac sealed so I not buying that.

I see somebody on my street put out a water heater to dump. I gonna grab it tomorrow and see what can be done with it.

[X_Factor]

^ ah next one?

not too long did this


a dry rub on the piece of pork and let it rest for like 2hrs
pork was like wow!! the dry rub and hickory smoke WOW!!

marinade the chicken over night
chicken had a nice taste all the way to the bone but expected more flavour

[pugboy]

you might get hooked on bbq smoking before you know it
I hear Chinese Laundry's place advertising heavy on 96.1

[SR]

anyone using a seasoned cast iron skillet???

[Chemical]

Yep...but don't ever wash it with soap. The brand is Lodge. Got it @ peakes and be prepared to pay through you ears & nose however it does not rust.

There is a store upstaris West Mall where TSTT was that sells the Emril Brand. IAM has the cheaper ones.
