    New Years Lomo al Trapo

    Interesting, I’m trying to to figure out out what to do with that chain. I don’t have a grinder, kebabs are interesting…. Was also wondering if I could fashion some sort of burnt ends type of cook. Maybe cubed, smoked, and sauced?

    New Years Lomo al Trapo

    So that is after it rested, and after I pulled off the remnants of the burnt wrapper. That pic was from my first attempt. It was a whole prime tenderloin, pismo style. It was also my first time trimming and cleaning it. I removed the side muscle (aka the “chain”), but not the extra top part (the...

    Gonna do small beef tenderloin roast

    It doesn’t touch the meat. You put the layer of salt, which creates a barrier. And the cotton is soaked in red wine, so any possible smell or flavor, which is negligible anyway, will not be detectable. And it’s sitting in a bed of fire and smoke. So I would respectfully disagree, I don’t see any...

    New Years Lomo al Trapo

    Cloth napkins. Very key detail - they need to be 100% cotton. Don’t want any polyester melting into the food. These will singe and get a little burned, but also let the fire flavor get into the meat.

    New Years Lomo al Trapo

    First thing - happy New Year everyone !!! Decided to do the lomo al trapo again, since it was very loved the last few times, and, of course, it is fun and a bit of “performance art” lol. As always, very simple, red wine soaked napkin, salt, and some sprigs of rosemary. The tenderloin was pismo...

    Gonna do small beef tenderloin roast

    I did it last night, with a prime tenderloin from the purveyor who supplies Peter Luger, so a VERY special piece of beef. Just like anything else else we all do here, if you apply some knowledge and experience, and cook to the desired temp, rest appropriately, not sure its any riskier than other...

    Cold Smoked Cheese

    I smoke a TON of cheeses, I would say the Jacks are ok, but not my favorite smoked cheeses, i think they may be too soft so can get overwhelmed. Cheddars are great smoked, and I would say they can take a lot more smoke, i’ve done as much as eight hours. For others, i HIGHLY recommend fontina...

    You’re welcome. I agree on the pw piece, but people get sloppy. There’s a whole bigger password issue in the world, but I don’t want to turn this thread into a philosophical white paper.

    Ok, if it helps, I can shed a little light (20+ years in CyberSec) on how this is a threat even on a fun bbq site. I too, don’t mind if someone sees my pics, but thats not the issue. Probably the most common or likely threat is your account being taken over, the risk being that they get your...
