I was thinking about a few different techniques and blended them here. I wanted the even temperature of sous vide but with smokey goodness of my KK, and a nice crust. So I cut off the bones and cooked them separately for my dogs(and me). I used twine to tie the 6 bone roast into a uniform roll for uniform cooking. I cooked the whole thing at 210 Guru temp with Co Co char and apple wood. I pulled it at internal 118 and then put it into a 500 degree oven for 10 minutes as a reverse sear. It was exactly as I desired with crust and uniformity and a smokey flavor. Final temp 128.

Now that I think about it, I can’t remember the last time I’ve cooked any sort of beef on a grill without adding some sort of heat: cayenne, ancho, or chipotle. And this is going back to my college days.

De Nada! Happy New Year to you, too! And all the rest of the KK Family!

I'm so glad that I could FINALLY return the favor, tony! After all the torment you've caused my stomach ... Here's wishing you and yours the Happiest and most Blessed New Year ever, tony!

Dammit - it's getting close to suppertime and you're making me seriously hungry! I had planned on polishing off some leftovers from the weekend, but now ...

Nice. Hard to find Weller around here anymore after the hipsters latched onto it (previously only the cognoscenti knew it was "baby Pappy.")

Love me some grilled shishito peppers (similar Japanese version to yours). Just got a batch of seed catalogs in the mail over the weekend, and inside the front cover of one, where they put the "what's new" stuff - shishito peppers!! Guess what I'm ordering to plant in the spring?? "Interestingly, the long ones have less heat at the tip, and gain more heat as you work your way towards the stem." That's because that's where the seeds and placenta (that web part the seeds are attached to) are. They contain almost all of the capsaicin in the peppers. Very little is actually in the flesh of the pepper. Love me some pork belly, just about anyway you can cook it. A buddy brought an adobo pork belly to the Christmas party. Couldn't stop eating it. Money shot was right! Please tell me you got those killer looking rib bones and not the dog?
