I’ve never tried JD, but I just found it on Home Depot for $24 delivered for a 20 lb bag. I’ll give it a shot as I’ve heard others speak highly of it.

I’d say in the medium/smaller size. I didn’t have any big chunks at all.

Picked this up for around $30. Basques hardwood lump. A little pricey, but it’s almost 20lbs, and the flavor from it is outstanding. I think I saw it at Ace for $25ish

I agree completely. I had some burnt ends that were clearly made from the flat at a BBQ joint in western MA, and I was not impressed at all.

https://www.virtualweberbullet.com/pig-candy-candied-bacon/ Sorry for the delay in responding. What a week at work! The only thing I added to this was that I brushed the bacon with maple syrup.

Made some candied bacon for Easter Brunch. It was a pretty big hit. I followed the recipe from this board. I’ll be making this a lot more. Here’s a picture of the finished product.

I really nailed a smoked whole packer brisket for NYE a couple of days ago. I was shocked by how tasty it was, and the guests were blown away. I could not have been happier with it. The pics don’t do justice to how juicy it was. Having the point for leftovers tonight.

I have to say after eating it right after it was done, and now having leftovers with it, I think this method of cooking rib roast is tied with using my WSM. There is something about rib roast that lends itself to the oven. I’m going to have to try it on a grill next.

Came out perfectly. Thanks for the assist Rich!

Pre sear and post sear. Resting now. Fingers crossed!

Nice! Sounds good! I have a feeling that I’ll be in that same boat soon.

Hey Rich, do you use any water in the roasting pan to retain moisture? I have not so far. Thanks!

Thanks Chris!

Thanks Rich! The rain seems to not want to let up, so I just started it in our new convection oven at 225. It’s a smaller one (2 bones), and it’s grass fed and grain finished. We get them from a farm in Vermont. I think we will be eating late, but I’ve got plenty of Celebration Ale to get me...

Charcoal grill added Bob. I knew I would forget one.
