NotIThatLives Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Smoked my first brisket with the pit boss. Used these whiskey barrel pallets for the first time. It's the best smelling smoke I've had yet and I've tried, the blend, hickory, Apple, and pecan. We under smoked it at 200 for 2.5 hours. Going to go for at least 3.5 hours next time. Then foil wrapped and put in crock pot on low for 6 hours. It was nice and tender, not enough bark but a good smoke ring. Next time will be killer. Whiskey barrel pellets are where it's at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaybobHoosier Posted May 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Just did some bacon wrapped chicken strips on the grill, very delicious lol. Thinking about trying a meatloaf in the smoker soon, and got some new wood chips for it. Got apple and maple, excited to try those as well.

They've been running specials on salmon lately so I have a couple of those that I plan to grill....otherwise I'm not sure. Maybe it's the 500 or whatever.....but I've been really craving fried chicken lately. Haven't caved yet but it's so tempting. Anymore (at least at my Kroger) I can't really make a plan until I get there to see what they have available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 @FritzIam4IU post reminded me of something I'd been meaning to post for a while... Those of you in the Chicagoland area should try Ream's Meat Market out in Elburn, Illinois. Best brats and Polish sausage I've ever had. Very wide variety of sausages. Might be a drive, but when I lived out in that area, it was an annual trip out there for summer holidays. Always ran into people from the city (50 mile drive) in there...it's that good... And Randy Ream is in the Meat Smoking Hall of Fame (yes, really)... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to play golf at Hughes Creek, stop by Ream's when finished and head up 47 to my friends house in Yorkville. Legendary food there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was back in the 2000-2005 years....so I got the original feel. Haven't been back in years but had heard they moved. Don't get out that far anymore when I go to Chicago.

IUFLA Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Well, after talking about it, we decided on bratwurst instead of brined pork chops (thanks @FritzIam4IU)... You can't find a butcher shop around here that sells them (don't have room with all the varieties of smoked sausages, chorizo, andouille, and boudin I guess) so Kirkland Brats will have to do... Did make up a batch of my pickled hot and sweet onions to dress them with... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 @IUFLA You can tell those butchers to send me all the andouille and boudin and they will have space for brats. Those onions look great! Love pickled onions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to venture into making some gumbo. I have yet to find a gumbo I didn’t like and haven’t even been to New Orleans!

I didn’t know Naperville closed. Did you ever try that Hot As A Mutha app there? It was something like jalapeño cream cheese stuffed in a fried jabenero. I had the littlest bit and was sweating for 30 minutes. Hottest thing I’ve ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
