MacKenzie Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 It a pork belly and actually there are 2 pieces in the pix. I bought it as a full side but needed to cut it in half so it would be easier to deal with. The 2 halves and jammed together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basher Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Here’s the leg of balsamic lamb, 30 minutes off ready. And here it is carved. I’ll definitely be doing more balsamic soaks. The crust was amazing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks, I did a couple of hours or so with the cold smoke then added pellets and some chips to the lump for the cook.

Herbie J - Alabama Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Grilled a Japanese A5 Wagyu ribeye tonight. It tasted great off of the the 32BB KK. I did a little cook based upon one of my favorite meals when I worked in Japan. Pasteurized egg yolk, rare steak, and mushrooms. Nothing went to waste from the A5. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Lots of flavour in that cook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrus Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Hey Basher, you did a fine job on the lamb, spun it up and looking mighty tasty. Did you taste the Balsamic? It can soak a good long time. And Mac those bacon strips are awesome, not a lot of fat, really lean as far as bacon goes. Those Nova Scotia pigs must work out at the gym and do a bunch of sit ups. American pigs are getting lazy. Boxed steak Herbie J? OK. The lengths we reach to when were too tired from work to go to the store. Only one? Seem to remember you have a family, you didn't eat it in the closet? Anyhow that rooks marvelous, must a been your birthday huh 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Couldn't resist comparing the old and the new bacon. It was a toss up with maybe a slight edge going to the latest batch. Now that's how to start the day. LOL 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qundoy Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 St Patty day is around the corner and the grocery stores in our area are well stocked with cryovaced corned beef. So I decided it was time to smoke some pastrami. I used a rub found on Amazing Ribs. The brisket flat was just shy of 5lbs, rinsed, soaked over night, rubbed this morning and on the 23 with peach wood for the smoke. My KKooker decided to settle at 270, I was shooting for 250. The cook only took about 5 hours, I was expecting some stall, but this flat shot right through it. Wrapped at 160 deg. , pulled at 205, rested in a cooler. Pumpernickel, provolone, Dijon, sweet onion. That sandwich was sooo gooood 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Seeing as March came in like a lamb here, figured I should cook some! Lamb chops with roasted spuds and sautéed asparagus. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
