I know I should not have done it... But I did it because I put the rub on the ribs and put them in the fridge over night. The biggest container I had was Gallon Size ziplock bags. I had to cut them in half to fit in the bags.I liked it even though you cut your ribs. 😥
I just showed this recipe to my wife. I think this'll be one of the next things i try! Thank you.Here's another (similar but not exactly the same) recipe for chuck roast in the smoker. http://www.thewolfepit.com/2009/10/pepper-stout-beef.html?m=1
I love mine too. It can be a little finicky at holding low temps (yes I use the smoking stone) because the double wall steel construction is so well insulated, better than the ceramic models. It takes so little fire to maintain 215 that it's on the edge of going out. I typically run mine at 230.Smoke butts at 200° or sear steaks at 600° plus....... I love mine.

What else should I have done instead? I guess I could have left them whole and wrapped them in aluminum foil. I just didn't think of that.
And I was a little tipsy...

Now that "family dinner", with my mother in law, is over... I'm ready to make a brisket for my family. Butter, milk, gluten, sugar, etc is all on the menu!
Does anyone have a killer brisket recipe? I'm happy to let it cook over night, if it really does take 18 hours...
Thanks guys!
This. Is really similar to another recipe I saw here: http://www.thewolfepit.com/2009/10/pepper-stout-beef.html?m=1Try a chuck roast.
Rub woth your favorite rub, smoke for two and a half hours at 225 with a pan under it to catch the drippings. Then put the roast in the pan with 1/4 cup water, a stick of butter, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, jalepenos, pepperoncini, fresh herbs, and chopped garlic.
Cover, smoke another 90 minutes and you should be at 205 internal. Take it out, pull like pork, and make cheesesteak hoagies with the cheese sauce you made during the last 30 minutes of the cook.
Chuck is forgiving, but good. Something easy to get your techniqies right.
ETA: forgot to mention straining the juice from the pan and pouring all over the meat before making the sammitches.

Tried a really similar recipe (may have found the link here): smoke chuck roast at 225/250 until it hits 165. Put vegetables (onion, peppers, garlic) in pan with 1/4 cup Worcester sauce and 12 ox of Guinness stout. Cover and cook 2-3 hours at 350.Try a chuck roast.

That makes sense and seems pretty inline with what I did: starting at 225 for a ~4lb chuck. Turned it up to 250 for a while and it still took a while. I noticed that it seemed to plateau for a while at certain temperatures too.I was off on my recollection of temp..I did it at 275...but my time was spot on. Took 4.5 hrs for a 2.5 lb chuck. I did forget to put the weight in my o.p.
Just about any meat cooked below 300⁰ will stall at some point throughout the cookThat makes sense and seems pretty inline with what I did: starting at 225 for a ~4lb chuck.

I found a recipe for smoking sweet potatoes.
My MiL is coming over for dinner tonight. She can eat sweet potatoes, but not regular potatoes...
Here's the recipe: https://www.madbackyard.com/smoked-sweet-potatoes/
You cut the sweet potatoes to look like a squeeze box, then you slather them in butter before smoking... She can't eat butter, so one sweet potato is in a pan by itself. The others have butter and salt on them...
I'm going to drizzle maple syrup on hers, at the end... (I know! How can she eat maple syrup, but not sugar? I almost believe that some of her "allergies" are bullshit)

I smoked those ribeye steaks last night... My wife said it was the best steak she's ever had, and she's had a lot of steaks!
How did it turn out?? Looks great!!!
I just had a moment with a slow cooked Ribeye from the Egg. I don't lnow how I got along without this thing...I'm about to smoke some ribeye steaks for an hour and then sear them (reverse sear). I hope it works out. I'll add pics as I go...
I'm also planning to smoke sweet potatoes and asparagus wrapped in bacon.
Wish me luck...
Alright... I'm gonna do it... Time to smoke a brisket...
This one is not too big, about 7 pounds... It's just the flat, no point. It was the biggest one they had and they didn't have any whole ones.
But, the good news is, this one should smoke in like 8 hours, right? I just watched a YouTube video with a ton of good reviews where the guy smoked it at 225* for about 5 hours, and then 250* for 3 hours wrapped in butcher paper, and then let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing it up.
I got the meat, the rub, and the butcher paper.
I'm going to rub it down and put it in the fridge over night, then put it on the smoker early tomorrow morning for 6pm dinner time.
Wish me luck!

Too bad we are not in the basement... I'd tell a Little Johnny joke...It’s like sending little Johnny off to his first day of school. I think I have a little tear in my eye.
