If there was ever a time for you guys to get a kamado style grill, it’s right now. $400 off the older model Kamado Joe! Probably won’t see a deal this good ever again.

Ares died from lack of sleep

I was up until like 11pm and I laid down and fell asleep with no drugs or alcohol for the first time in like 10 years.

I will post pictures of the finished products whenever IMGUR stops failing me.

The end of the cook was.... interesting.

I had 2 probes in the brisket, and 2 probes in the pork butt and through the majority of the cook the temps rose at a rate that felt normal.

Around 150-170 both pieces of meat hit their stall and that was around noon and I wrapped both and put them in my oven to finish.

For the first like 4 hours in the oven the temps pushed thru the stall and rose as I would expect.

Then around 4:30 or so I checked and all the temps seemed to be stalling on all 4 probes.... pork was 185/189 and brisket was 190/192 from 4:30-5:00.

The temps don't stall like that on two different pieces of meat at that stage of the cook.

So I unwrapped and took probes in and out.... the brisket ones suddenly started showing 194/196 and the pork butt showed 187/190.... I also turned the monitor device off/on to be safe.... re-wrapped and put them back in.... 15 mins and nothing moved.... im hitting 5:30 by this point.

So I took the brisket out and just did a touch test and it felt ready, so I removed probes, wrapped and put it in the cooler.

Pork butt I took probes out and back in and it started showing 185/189 again.... I took out my other digital thermometer and it read 186.

But the meat was already starting to fall apart on its own.

I put it back in for 10 mins with the other thermometer and still the temp didn't move one degree.

So as we hit 6pm I took it out and put it wrapped into the cooler.... the pork did shred pretty well but I think I could have cooked it another hour or so and it would have been better. That was an 8.8lb pork butt and I cooked it for almost 12 hours at 225-250.... I guess caution for the future.... big pork butt can take almost as long as brisket to get all the way to that sweet spot if you don't wrap it early enough.

The 3 slabs of ribs my guests claimed were very good, but I question them.... I thought they were getting too much time at too much heat in the foil, but the ones I ate were very firm on the bone. Not my best ribs, I think guests were just being nice lol. They tasted fine, but the texture left me wanting it a bit more tender.

I had enough leftover meat for 1 meal, which is perfect for me.

I made a combo pulled pork/chopped brisket sammich and any meat that didn't fit on the sammich became my side dish with some tater chips.

I am so sorry. *man hug* That's awful.

Just so we're clear, when I say drugs I mean Advil PM.... Zquil.... Benadryl, etc.

Still not good lol but I did not mean illegal drugs.

I'll have a bloody mary, a steak sandwich and a steak sandwich.

Oh, I didn't take it like that. I know when I had my shoulder pains and the recovery from surgery I knew drugs were the only way I could sleep. So I have a tiny taste of the lack of sleep you must have.

Very nice. I smoked a brisket a couple weeks ago. It was my best ever. I did the hot and fast method.

 

[RacerX]

I'm marinating bone-in pork chops in my home-made Korican sauce. Gonna sear on the grill and then slow-cook in the wood oven.

And I just harvested green beans and Chinese eggplant - might as well slow-roast those if I'm burning the wood - will throw some garlic into the green bean pan, and will baste the eggplant with a Nuoc Cham sauce.

Will enjoy a glass of Chabis while cooking, and break out some red burgundy or a Cali pinot (old-world styled, do not like the fruit-forward/sweet offerings) with the meat.

 

[Albert Flasher]

What is your wood oven?

LMFAO imagine having a nerdy 39+ page discussion about grilling and jacking off to pictures of meat when you could literally just get a superior product from McDonald's® at a fraction of the price.

Whats wrong with beating your meat to meat? Sounds a little homophobic to me.

LMAO literally so ****ing mad that I am not impressed with your pathetic beta grilling techniques. I will continue enjoying McDonald's® on a regular basis as I know Ronald personally and am literally "lovin' it" and am considering having an IV set up so McDonald's® Coca Cola® can be injected directly into my veins.

Had any blood work done lately? Also for a change of pace try a chocolate Mac's milkshake, you may not ever drink a Coke again. Just sayin.
