Outdoor Cooking (smoking, grilling, barbecuing, open spit, etc.)

mostly posting this pic to see if anyone has a rub, or rubs, that they're a fan of since I just used up about the last of this one.

What you see in the pic is Three Little Pigs Memphis Style, which I like ok but prefer their Kansas City (which is why I ran out of that one first).

I gave up on making my own rubs and sauces quite some time ago, so what I'm looking for here is an off-the-shelf rub that I can try next time.

If nothing else, I'll be ordering the Three Little Pigs stuff again.

I’m a fan of sucklebuster’s hoochie mama for pork.

Last night's dinner.... McCormick's Montreal seasoning.

Gratuitous pic of finished ribs below.

Question, what do you all do to clear your smoker/grill? Mine has a pretty considerable buildup of this and that and I’m about to take the plunge and buy a steamer to help get it clean.

Picked up some Beyond (™) Beef on markdown at Kroger last night.
WifeGBiv tried it a few weeks ago on a business trip and gave it her thumbs up. I figured for $4 I'd give it a go.

TL/DR: It was quite good.

Normal price on this is around $10/pound, which is absolutely nuts, especially when you compare the nutrition information vs 85/15 ground chuck.

Woohoo!



It has it's own unique texture (more like ground turkey than beef) and smell (oily... like vegetable oil).
Different, but not bad on either count.

But, do I want to know what that stuff is bubbling up on there?

Made 3 x ~5.25/oz patties, seasoned same as I would a beef burger. Kosher salt, coarse ground black pepper, garlic powder.



Finished in the usual way... Pan-fried egg, bacon, jalapenos, roasted Anaheim peppers, yellow American cheese, brown mustard, sriracha, diced red onions (raw) and ketchup.



The taste was quite good. Less greasy than a beef burger, but plenty of flavor (we sampled some without all the extras to be sure).
Much less shrinkage than a beef burger. The finished patties were about the same size as the uncooked patties.
There's plenty of oil in the mix, so, that provided enough fuel for a nice char.

Worth $10? Absolutely not.
Would I buy it again for $4? Yes, I would. Nice change of pace.

Coworker snagged me an 11# prime brisket yesterday, will cook it up Sunday. Can't wait.

So Weber got into the pellet market. Amazing Ribs is calling this the only pellet grill capable of creating what they consider to be a proper sear.

Heads up for those in N Texas.... Maybe elsewhere as well...
Kroger is selling Ribeye roasts this week for $5.97/lb. (steaks for $6.97)
I'd much rather eat smoked "prime rib" than turkey for thanksgiving. YMMV.

Looks like a killer option that will be available in the big box stores.

Interesting. I have a Broil King that I can get a good seer on. The model I have has only been out for a little over a year. Unfortunately, I find pellet smokers that can get that hot to be a disaster. You can't got from a long smoke to a sear without stopping and cleaning the whole thing out. It's a virtual guarantee for an exciting fire. I keep a decent Weber propane grill off the side of my smoker and use that for searing. My world is much safer that way.

Added on edit** I went and read the article. It definitely does a better job searing than my BK. However, I stand by my mistrust of using a smoke to do both things.
