    Is a Butcher better than the Supermarket?

    I've never seen grass fed Prime...but what the animal is fed doesn't appear to be a condition of it getting the "prime" rating, as that's largely associated with the distrution, or marbling, of the fat within the meat. On a pure visual observation, grass fed beef appears to be much darker red...

    Is a Butcher better than the Supermarket?

    I have a fabulous butcher by me, but I freely admit I find my best meats at Whole Foods. Larger variety of cuts, dry-aged meats, grass-fed cuts.... The meat section at Whole Foods is a butcher unto itself. I love giving the local butcher shop business, however, so I still go there for my...

    Boneless pork butt on the rotisserie?

    Quick question... Is the larger WSM the same diameter as a kettle? As such, does the rotisserie ring work on it? I have two Performer's, the last of which came with a rotisserie. However, I've been a colossal chicken **** and haven't made an attempt to use it yet. I need to suck it up and...

    Tri-tip question

    My next tri is definitely going to be low and slow. This one had great flavor, but despite cutting against the grain, it was impossible to take a bit from a fajita without pulling the entire strip of meat out. Then again, perhaps it's just not an ideal cut to be used for this application.

    Tri-tip question

    Yes, and moreso if you allow to sit on the counhter an hour or two before cooking. The warmer temps of your kitchen and then the warmer (but still low) temps of your cooker if cooking low/slow - along with the increased warming/cooking time over cooking hot-and-fast - will allow enzymes in the...

    Tequila Lime Tri-Tip

    Using the marinade portion of this recipe (minus the cilantro) on a tri I'm using for fajitas tonight. Can't wait. I hope the omission of the cilantro doesn't make a huge difference. I had everything else in-house already, and really didn't want to leave the house just to get some.

    Tri-tip question

    "New studio..." Hmmmm. That makes me wonder if you're referring to the studio on Johnson Hwy in Norristown, at the corner of Markley Street. You'll love Venezia's. Tell them Hayden sent you.

    "the best BBQ Store"

    I'm so jealous of ANY of those stores. I live in Philadelphia...the black hole of BBQ'ing.

    Men who can't grill?

    Wise beyond your years. I agree as well. I blame the majority of it on technology. For all of the developments in it, it's set us back disproportionately to what it's advanced us. I wrote a paper on it.

    Men who can't grill?

    Hey now. I can't drive a manual. But I've been grilling for 15 years despite only being 33, I own 7 Weber charcoal grills, and have my own pallet of Kingsford in the garage. So...I think I'm off the hook.

    Wagyu Brisket on Performer

    Thank you for the responses, gentlemen. I do believe I'm going to go with the HH method again. In re: to Ashish's response... You'd be surprised what you can do with a Performer. I've low 'n slowed many boston butts on my performer. Using the minion method, a couple of fire bricks, and...

    Wagyu Brisket on Performer

    Ok. I recently did a high-heat USDA Prime brisket. It was roughly 9 lbs. I cooked it via the HH method as explained in a post by Andy Erickson. It was fabulous. Well, I'm stepping things up a notch for the 4th of July weeekend. I'm going to be cooking a similarly sized American Wagyu brisket. My...
