    BURN OFF practice

    THE REST OF THE STORY… O.k., so that was WORK. Every time I wanted to MOP either the Ribs or chicken, it would take forever for the temp to come back up. What a pain in the A**. Ribs took about 6.5 hrs and the chicken came off after 6. GURU set at 230 majority of the time lo the bottom...

    BURN OFF practice

    BURN OFF practice

    UPDATE..12:20 CST LUNCH TIME...12:20, first Mary of the day..very tasty. Put Chicken, Pork and sausage on top rack. Guru set on bottom rack, temp set at 230...I am hoping I get 15-20 degrees more on the top rack to cook on time. Had to adjust the chicken to the very edges, as I don't want...

    BURN OFF practice

    SUNDAY, 10:05 AM - PRACTICE RUN... First let me preface by saying I am going to try this with one bullet, as transportation constraints at this time prevent me from bringing the FEC to THE BURN! Lesson #1, the covers for the bullets don't necessarily prevent moisture from collecting in the...

    Holding uncooked brisket

    Has it at any time been kept out or above 40 degrees? Without puncturing the cryovac, you won't be able to measure the actual temp of the meat. In order to prevent a Food Born Illness, meat must be kept under 40. Freezing will not KILL any "viruses" just slow them down. I suggest freezing...

    Inaccurate Polder

    I have had problems in the past with a different probe for the wrong polder...see www.polderstore.com to get the right probe for the right polder...make sure the probe is really clean, and try checking the temp with an ice bath to see if that varies as well... BBQJEDI .02 worth
