That all looks fantastic. Dadburn old pellet cooker doing nice work.

Pati Jinich had an episode of her PBS show where they talked about how carne asada is super popular in parts of northern Mexico. Like barbecue, the term describes the food and the social gathering. Apparently, the folks there throw a carne asada every chance they get. Looked like a blast.

It’s going to be gooooood. As others said, start early so you have plenty of time to get it done. I‘ve had one stay piping hot after as long as 4 hours wrapped in foil/towel in an ice chest. Better to have it done early so you can enjoy your company instead of stoking the smoker and fretting...

I bought some stock a few weeks after the IPO. At the arranged sale price, I’ll lose enough to have paid for a nice new grill or smoker. Lesson learned. Mutual funds tend to do great for me, but when I get “smart“ and buy an individual stock it is doomed to failure.

That is some gorgeous pastrami. Nice work!

Thanks for the post and pics. I've had this on my list of things to try for a few years now. Did you make/use the seasoned coconut milk mopping sauce?

That looks fantastic. Birria is all the rage these days, and I am among the big fans.

I take the membrane off now, but spent years not knowing it existed or that it could be removed. Never really caused an issue.

So how much did you get/have to eat? Could you tell much difference among the entries?

You got a heckuva bargain on your WSM. I paid full price for mine, but it has been well worth it over many years of good cooking. And I know at least 3 folks who bought one after eating with us. Enjoy yours!

Did they both get put out at the same house?

You can’t be the price!

Looks tasty. I like to do the same. I used to oil the veg before putting them on, but they tended to just get soggy. Followed a Sam the Cooking Guy video and grilled to get char marks and grill flavor before hitting with a "brushing sauce" at the end.

Same here. My GGs have stayed on my Genesis since they arrived a couple years ago. They were my early-lockdown era retail therapy. One of the best grilling purchases I ever made. The only thing I do is change from rails to flats, depending on the cook. Often I use a mix, with flats on the left...

We stayed at a cabin in the Smokys back when I owned just a gasser. The cabin had a Weber kettle, and we used it for some basic grilling like steaks and burgers. It was my first time fooling with charcoal in years, and it sort of nudged me toward my eventual purchase of a WSM, nice kettle...

I don't wrap butts, but I have noticed that other foiled meats may give a "false" high temp read when in the foil, and once unwrapped will read significantly lower. That could be part of your issue. When resting, try wrapping the foiled butt in a towel and putting it in an ice chest. It will...

Looks great. There is a weekend-only place in Texarkana called Tacos Mi Pueblo. Their carnitas sopes, topped with some their green sauce, is one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten.

Thanks for the report. I've seen those tuna steaks at Sam's and been tempted to try grilling some. Perhaps it is time.

For years I used Canola spray on my grill. But once I got Grill Grates on my gas grill, I found that they get so hot that the Canola spray burns and smells fishy. Very off-putting. Now I keep a squirt bottle of grapeseed oil, and I apply it to the cool Grill Grates with a paper towel before...

The only way I've seen folks use them is throw them in a pot of slow-simmered mustard/collard/turnip greens.
