Hey everyone, been a long time, but I've got a question. I'm making another attempt at a brisket (mine are always hit or miss), and I was wondering what the consensus is on whether the fat should be up or down in the smoker. Thanks!

Since this seems to be on topic, has anyone here seen chuck eyes in NJ? Are they something that can be carved out of a larger piece of meat, or do they usually come as steaks?

Apparently, the Texas Weiner in unique to NJ (no, this is not a typo. Local lore tells me that it's a "weiner" not a "wiener" when served in NJ). Anyway, very simply: burger or dog, spicy brown mustard (I use Sabretts which may be the best worldwide), chili sauce (no beens), and chopped...

Since I'm still "on vacation", we decided to invite some friends over. We were undecided about what to cook, so we decided to go with Tri Tip, over ribs, and bbq chicken. Preparing the first tri tip for the smoker. I coated it first in chili spiced mustard. Very hot, but the hotness we kind...

We made it home last night, so I felt it was a great day to reintroduce myself to my own grill (I really missed it!). So, I decided on baked potatoes and Black Nugget Londong Broil from Sussex Meat Packing (I beleive that many of our friends fron NJ have heard of them. Potatoes started Meat...

Hey everyone, Still in Bavaria, and I finally got my hands on a grill! It seems that here, grilling is a seasonal sport, and my family thought that I was crazy because I wanted to stand outside in the cold and snow and grill. We went to the local butcher to get our meat. I have to say...

This is one more dish from my vacation. Its a venison roast with lingonberries on the side. It was really great. I've never seen roasted venison on a menu in the US ENJOY!

I was at Obi (equivalent of Home Depot) and they were selling Stubbs in the grill section. I don't know which other countries have Obi, but I have seen posts from Europe here

While I'm here, I had to take to eat in between drinking beers. Here's a few quick shots: Here is original Munich Weisswurst and leberknoedel (liver dumpling) soup Schweinehaxen and Kloss (Pigs knuckles and potato dumplings) Leberkase and potato salad Pretzel anyone?

Tomorrow, were headed to Germany. While I can say that they dont bbq there, I've seen some of the best grilling there. Germany offers an exciting array of cuts of pork there that we dint normally see here. Same goes for beef, but we have better cuts here. Anyway, I'm psyched, and I'll be...

I was getting my propane tank filled yesterday, and I noticed that the place where I got it sold bags of anthracite coal. Has anyone ever cooked with it? Does that even sound like a good idea. When I was a kid, there was a pizza place in Lodi that had a coal fired pizza oven, and the pizza...

Time again for Tri Tips. For the one, I once again invoked the Duelling Bubbas. For the second, my son Max (he's 10) suggested rosemary Tri Tips.... excellent choice. Preparing for the smoker. Bubba's spice blend, and extra spicy mustard from Germany (Note to self: in the end, the mustard...

Today, I did my first flat iron steak. While I did like it a lot, I really cant say it was as good as I anticipated. That aside, I was a very delicious piece of beef. Salted, peppered, and waiting for the grill. Sides: mashed 'taters and onions and mushrooms in a Guiness-cream sauce. A...

Picked up a flat iron today. Contrary to what I expected, there is no clear place where to separate the meat down the middle. Argghhh.

A few years back, I bought Weber's Charcoal Grilling book. There was an article about 2 dudes called the Dueling Bubba's, and it showed there version of tri tip, which was prepared like a brisket. Being from NJ, I had never heard of or seen a tri tip. Regardless, it was something that I...

I think tomorrow I'm going to go to Restaurant Depot and score some tri tips. I've never done them, so I hope they're good (if I can even get them) I read in a Weber cookbook awhile back about cooking a tri tip as you would a brisker, i.e. low and slow in the WSM until probe-poking tender...

Does anyone ever have problems with their Q220 not getting hot enough? With mine, it sometimes seems really his or miss for it getting hot, and it seems to miss more often than not. I've taken it apart, scrubbed and cleaned the burner with my air compressor, and checked the regulator. The...

I was making some simple burgers for the kids and my grill caught on fire. All the gunk in the bottom pan ignited and left me with hockey pucks. Looks like tacos tonight!

I never had this before, but since I made a roast beef today, I thought it might be good. We had ordered a 1/2 cow during the summer, so I'm not exactly sure what cut of meat this is. It was simply labeled "Round Roast. I made brusell sprouts with bacon and scalloped potatoes on the side...

Decided to make bbq spare ribs and have a go at Dragon Ribs. For the bbq ribs, I used Country Head spice and sauce. I smoked them with a combination of oak and cherry. Spiced..... Into the smoker (CyberQ in the background)..... Plated.... Thanks for looking!
