    Tri tip cooked to 210

    i did 2 tri-tips the other day. I cooked them at about 350 till 125 inside then let rest for 15 min. Perfect. I think tri tip isn't like brisket, it does not need to be cooked till 200+. took about an hour or so. 2 large cherry wood pieces. I could taste a difference over a gas BBQ cook

    Rib roast questions

    i did a boneless rib eye roast yesterday. 17 pounder took about 3 1/2 hours at 250 to hit 125 internal. let it rest for 30 minutes and it was OMFG perfect. great rosy pink inside but fully cooked. I did cheat and do it in the oven as it was raining off and on and the family didn't want it done...

    can you suggest another cut of beef?

    i went to cash and carry on the way home yesterday and really was not impressed with what I saw so went home empty. But just in time, the coscto yearly rebate check came in and this year you can't buy alcohol with it (I usually buy one nice Bordeaux bottle of wine). so i got a 17 pound prime...

    no wood

    Paul, make the trip up to the lazzaris factory in SF. Its right across 101 from candlestick. you can get the oak lump, which is much better and much less smokey than the mesquite. I go up every year and get about 5 40 pound bags. they sell the 40 pounders for around $18. but beware. because you...

    can you suggest another cut of beef?

    the girlfriend wants to do a fillet Mignon roast that we have done before. but this time we need to do it for about 15 people and that is going to be expensive. I was hoping you guys could suggest other cuts that would be suitable. I usually sear each side to brown and then roast about two or so...

    Spare vs. Back Ribs

    I love em both but tend to cook spares more. There is a wholesale rest supply store that every once in a while (like they do now) have cryovac st Louis trimmed rib packs. On add for $2.10 per pound. the only issue of buying already trimmed is you miss all the extra meat that everyone else...

    your right Larry, good guess last time i went last fall i bought 6 bags of the oak lump. great stuff. the 6 should last me all summer. and at $17 per bag its a bargain. really like the oak over the mesquite. the mesquite is great for grilling. the place looks like a war zone. if you have...

    I Love Rancher Charcoal

    i've wanted to try rancher as i hear good things about it. but locally i can get 40 pounds of hardwood lump for $15. hard to beat that price. I find lump lasts about 50% longer than charcoal of the same weight
