I didn't get pics but the ribs I smoked for 5 hours and finshed on the grill......... Best I have had this year !!
The weekend food for us was great! We went down to my cousins house for the weekend and had some amazing Belizian and Mexican food. The Belizian food was courtesy of my cousins wife who was born in Belize. She made us salbutes which is a corn meal and flour tortilla deep fried and topped with ricardo chicken, cabbage, red onions, jalepenos, and tomatoes. They were fantastic and she did an awesome job putting it all together. Then the next night we went to a little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. The place had bars on the windows and was just a plane block building with all the freezers and coolers right in the dining room with a few tables in there to sit at and eat. I was blown away though with the food. Everything was hand made and was incredibly good. I can say it was probably one of the best meals I have ever had. I cant pronounce what I had but it was a thick corn tortilla of some kind cut in half and had pork al pastore with lettuce, avacado, fresh cheese and choice of hot sauces on it. I couldnt get enough of it and couldnt stop thanking the owner for how good it was. Everything was homemade and nothing tasted like restaurant food. He said they strive to make everything authentic and just how they would have had it at home. Then last night back at home we wrapped it up with some polish sausages and burgers on the grill. Those were great too and it was nice to be back home.
Ok you guys that are smoking for 5 and 14 hrs what temp do you use and do you do anything to keep it moist? I have a masterbuilt 40 electric smoker and this is my first year ever smoking so trying to absorb all the knowledge I can.
Oh my goodness guys..... how does anyone have energy to cut wood after all that grub? I'm still at work, no food, and thinking about gnawling my desk......
WOW!!!! I'm so glad to see everyone jumping in ….. The food looked sooooooo good from everyone…. My beer glass tips to you all
Lukem, you have the cooooooolest grill I think I've seen….. How long will it last/will you get out of it before it burns through?
Not long....it is a screamer...nuclear hot if you want it to be. Good for steaks and not too much else. I have other means for everything else. That steak was posted in real time as I cooked it....every post.
Medium well is about as undercooked I will usually cook or eat beef. I got sick years ago from eating an undercooked burger. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone.
Underdone burgers and underdone steak are two different things. I know who raised this cow, who butchered it, how it was stored the whole time, and the guy who cooked it. Could you say that about your burger?
