  1. Don't remember who it is Porkchop, but it ain't Blacks. I seem to recall that Myron Mixon preaches hot & fast brisket cooking in his book.

    takes all sorts i guess...  haven't done brisket in forever...  just such an ornery piece ot meat...

  2.  Foil is for storing, not cooking!

     

    i'd agree, if you count hayboxing/hotboxing as "storing"...  works great for ribs and shoulders...  wrap in saran and then foil, and throw in a styro cooler packed with batting (old newspapers or old walmart bags works great) and just let them sit for a couple hours.  allows the juices to settle and everything really tenders up.  great for when your q comes off the smoker well in advance of the party.  try it sometime!

  3. Still not sure what to call these other than delicious....

     

    Banana wrapped in bacon cooked low and slo for 3 hours, and placed in a twinkie with crunchy peanut butter and bittersweet chocolate. Back on the KK for 5 minutes to melt.

     

     

    that is the work of an evil genius!!  i think i'd just do the bacon wrapped banana, but the rest of it gave it the whole "chili dog" effect, which is wayy cool!  i bow to your leg-upmanship!  nice pics!  nothing there looks wrong at all!

  4. Those look great.. I'm a BIG FAN of the cut across the grain meats..

    Tri Tips then flankskirt,  flat iron and hanger steaks.

    Dem be da beefy-est flavored meat on da cow!

    :hello1:

    man, i'm with you dennis!  sirloin has always been my favorite for that reason...  all those you mentioned, and i would add top round cut for LONDON BROIL...  london broil and tri tips are such good, straight-up roasts for the grill.  cook rare and slice thin across the grain...  can't eat it fast enough...

    NORMSTAR - those are beeyoooteeful flank steaks!  great char!  did you get any pics of the plating? 

  5. so, i did it...  can't say i'm proud of myself, but i did it.  pretty tasty, even better dipped in maple syrup...  200 deg for a couple hours i guess.  wrapped each in about 1.5 strips of bacon and sprinkled with sugar.  some of them burst a little bit.  i think if i ever do this again, i'll do it with frozen twinkies.

  6. they were both pretty big, like 8# plus, and i did them at around 225 for about, like 12 hours (?)...  i REALLY don't pay as close attention to the time; i just keep checking when i get close and wiggle that bone.  if it feels right, i take it off.  all things being equal, the picnic will run faster than a boston butt.  i think it's because the bone runs thru more of the roast than on a boston.  as far as the POSK; guy's gotta be a trooper.  ultimately, it comes down to the pitmaster.  but it sure is nice that KK takes the rocks outta your pockets when it comes to bbq.

  7. here's a couple pics of bone-in picnic shoulders.  these came out just great; did them together in a roasting pan, and the juices basically confitted (?) the pork.  best pulled pork i've done yet.  also did them skin down to see what would happen, and the skin basically dissolved, except for a few pieces that stuck to the bottom of the pan.  drippings were reserved and separated using a gravy separator.  fat was kept for frying up some potatoes, and the drippings were added back to the pull.  this is my favorite way to do it.  probably not considered bbq by some, but i can't argue with the results...

  8. right on, syz!  sometimes them meat men ain't really meat men.  gotta know your cuts!  the meat texture is the same as a butt as far as i can see destr8, but the flavor is a bit different (i like it better)...  i don't wanna use "umami" as i don't think i have a full grasp of this mysterious term, but i think more "unctious" is probably what i wanna say.  more bone gives more bone flavor, i guess.  can't beat meat on a bone :)
