Been a member forever...


Restaurant Depot can only be beat by a pork and a beef sponsorship..... then there's all the other great stuff there.

The rest of what you get for $40 is worth the money..

Their pork baby backs are the best!!!

I only buy my ribs there, hands down.

I got a pretty quality prime brisket from Sams the other week. They are finally starting to up their game a little bit.

cooper barrett 04-12-2019 05:53 PM

Anyone bought Short Ribs from Costco recently? grade? price?

Brisket went on overnight and sat at 225 rock solid all night. Firmly in the stall right now.

Did you mop or spray during the cook? What temp you pull it at? First couple of briskets were tough or dry. I think I didn't cook the first one long enough. Last few times I've used butcher paper and they came out better. It takes so long for my electric smoker to recover if I were to try to spray it.

I've decided to go with the stampede per your suggestion btw, any of the accessories you would consider must have?

I got the kit that included the 200 lbs. of pellets. Go ahead and pick up some of their rubs. I especially like Heifer Dust. Save on shipping.

I didn't mop or spray because it felt like it wasn't drying out. Next time I'd probably wrap it. 225, took about 16 hours, flat was 204 when I pulled it. Aaron Franklin recommends 203, so that's what I was shooting for.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a55895fb39.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e3e4960ac5.jpg

I’m definitely using it, I can never get my briskets to have this kind of bark.

Can’t wait for my days off so I can get back to smoking. I’m working 23 straight days, my next day off is the 24th and I’m missing my smoker.

I cooked 8 chicken thighs and I wanted to do them all in my OK Joes Bronco Drum but it wasn't big enough to hold two muffin pans so I cooked 4 in the Drum and the other 4 I did in my Wichita. In the end after I glazed/sauced them I put them all in the Wichita. Used some apple and cherry wood. Turned out pretty good for my first attempt. I scraped the fat off the skin on 4 of them and said screw it on the other 4. The skin shrunk on the ones I scraped but one of those did turn out perfect.

I always go fat up, but may try fat down next time. The bottom did get a hair overdone. Fat cap on the bottom might protect it a little.

I think the flat would give you the better texture. Not as chewy.

I've only ever planked salmon once but didn't really tell any difference.

RetiredSeniorChief 04-14-2019 10:35 AM

If it's ocean caught King Salmon or Red Salmon, I marinate in an orange juice based marinade overnight and then grill just till it flakes. Coho doesn't grill as well, so I smoke it.

I just buy a cedar fence picket from the lumber yard. They are not treated with any chemicals but always ask. Cut off an 8" piece. soak it in water for an hour. Put the board in the oven at 350 and bake until you can smell the Cedar. Then throw the Salmon on the board and finish. Gotta get that Cedar aroma flowing.

Every year we do a cultural themed Easter. This year we are doing Argentine food. Think I'm grilling a flank steak, chicken thighs and making chimichurri sauce for them. I've only ever used flank for fajitas so this will be interesting.

I don’t claim to be any sort of chili savant. But I said it was better than regular chili but it wasn’t as good as the brisket by itself.

They sear well, for sure. I like to put them upside down like a griddle for a bigger sear. The crosshatch is nice once in a while.

The Bull has some more add ons like a cold chamber.

Thinking of getting the stampede bundle with pellets, grill grates, cover, grill mats, and shelf.

Just not sure if the pellets are worth it. I can buy other brands that seem to have good reviews cheaper and get the other accessories by themselves.

I went ahead and bout the pellets, and I do like their blend. I also recommend picking up the Ben's Heifer Dust now to save shipping. It's a very nice seasoning.

Raining here though Sat night enough to possibly call off golf Sunday afternoon.

I'm thinking about trying take and bake pizza on the grill with a pizza stone. Anyone have good luck, bad luck?

I've done frozen thin crust many times, a few original, even a self rising DiGiorno that seemed half frozen, but never a fresh pizza.

Our penthouse deck is being pulled up tomorrow morning as part of a new roof going on our building. The closest entry point to the deck is off the master bedroom, so that's where I moved the green egg earlier today, lol. Having a new deck installed once the roof work is complete, so it's going to be super nice, but damn, I'm going to be sleeping in the waft of old, stale, bbq odors for the next week or so.

We just completed completely tearing up our back patio and extending it with a roof. Took a little over a month and a shitload of money, but man is it worth it. Love being outside cooking. Between the Blackstone and the Stampede (which functions as a wood fired convection oven over 300F) we've made maybe two meals indoors in the past month.

Did you wrap? I cook at 275 for about 2 hours, until the rub won't rub off. Then wrap for 1 hour then check for tenderness. When they're done, I glaze with sauce and then back on for 20 minutes. Best ribs I've made today. Perfect bite.

Cook them until they have a nice bend. Best way to tell if they're done or not.

I've done foiled and without hundreds of times and really it just comes down to letting them cook long enough and doneness doesn't really dictate if I wrap or not.

If I want more smokey ribs, I leave them bare and if I want them more sweet than I'll wrap.

Oh holy crap! I'm waiting for the last smoker to cool off so I can put the cover on it before it rains. I just finished a 13 hour cook on stick burners. I'm dead. I simulated a BBQ Competition so I smoked a pork butt, brisket, ribs and some cupcake chicken. I was to tired to make burnt ends. I figured on a 12 hour cook but the pork butt was struggling to get up to temp so it took longer. The ribs were a little undercooked so I put them back on with the butt. Hardest thing with my BBQ Pitt is the seven steps down and back up to the deck to the back door. That little flight of steps damn near killed me.

I was going to start my cook at midnight so I could deliver it hot and fresh to work tomorrow for my employees. It looked like it was going to rain overnight so I started it a noon and figured I'd just have to heat it up in the oven in the morning.

That was a lot of work.....my feet hurt and my legs are dead..

Would you detail your method for the chicken?

Get a cupcake or muffin pan. Aluminum disposable would be best. Find a sharp smooth sided object and make holes in the bottom of the cupcake pan. You will also need a deep cookie sheet or an aluminum pan big enough for the cupcake pan to sit in. Have those on the ready.

Now take a chicken thigh and cut the "knuckles" off the each side of the bone. You can remove the bone completely if you like.

Remove the skin from the thigh. Take the skin turn underside up and then scrape all the fat off and trim any bad skin or fat off the edges. (This part is a pain in the ass) Also trim the thigh from fat and even up the edges.

Put the thighs and skin in a salt and water brine for a couple hours.

Take the thighs and the skin out of the brine and rinse them. After that you take the skins and put each on a thigh, wrapping the skin around so it stays.

Get your cupcake pan. Take the thighs and place them skin side down in the cupcake pan. Sprinkle on a little season of choice and put a slice of butter on each thigh. Sit the cupcake pan into the other pan(cookie sheet). Pour about a 1/4 inch of chicken stock into the cookie sheet(the other pan). Smoke for 1 1/2 hours at 300 degrees.

Take the thighs and flip them over to right side up in the cupcake pan, season and then smoke them for another 30 to 45 minutes.

Take the thighs out of the cupcake pans and sauce(glaze) them on top or dip them if you like. Then put them on a oven rack and put them back in the smoker for another 30 minutes. Should be done at 170 degrees internal temp.


I've only made these a couple times but that is the recipe and method straight from my noggin. It was a good memory exercise.

Take the thighs and the skin out of the brine and rinse them. After that you take the skins and put each on a thigh, wrapping the skin around so it stays.

Get your cupcake pan. Take the thighs and place them skin side down in the cupcake pan. Sprinkle on a little season of choice and put a slice off butter on each thigh. Sit the cupcake pan into the other pan(cookie sheet). Pour about a 1/4 inch of chicken stock into the cookie sheet(the other pan). Smoke for 1 1/2 hours at 300 degrees.

Take the thighs and flip them over to right side up in the cupcake pan, season and then smoke them for another 30 to 45 minutes.

Take the thighs out of the cupcake pans and sauce(glaze) them on top or dip them if you like. Then put them on a oven rack and put them back in the smoker for another 30 minutes. Should be done at 170 degrees internal temp.


I've only made these a couple times but that is the recipe and method straight from my noggin. It was a good memory exercise.

Like this? Interesting...

Now take a chicken thigh and cut the "knuckles" off the each side of the bone. You can remove the bone completely if you like.

You don't have to scrape the skin if you just want to make them for fun. That's the hardest part. The scraped skin is to make so it you can bite through the skin cleanly. They'll look pretty and taste good just the same.

I was just eating on the pork butt and I did really good on it. Tender and sweet. When I pulled it this morning it had a decent "money muscle" I sliced some rings out of it and they were to tender. I had some really nice tubes and then the rest pulled so nicely. Yum! It had a really nice smoke ring as well. Did I say yum? Yum! It wasn't over cooked but it just melted in my mouth. Over cooked butt is mushy this was not, it just melted in my mouth. Add my newest creation of a commercial sauce mix with some Kings Hawaiian, Stubb's and then some Louisiana Hot Sauce Habanero. Mmmm...
