Really tasty.  Wife put bbq sauce on them while I was washing cars so that didn’t help and I didn’t get the temp turned down after tinfoil was removed.   Flavor was good and I will be doing a brisket with that same rub ASAP!!  New season was great.  Smelled good too while I can still smell it in my mustache

I wouldn’t recommend it on brisket.

Salt pepper onion powder garlic powder cayenne and paprika.

1/4 cup salt 1/4 cup pepper and then a tbs of the others

I’m sure it’d be good. Just not Texas style. Have you worked up a mop yet?  That’ll help your brisket.

Dave, you get that recipe from a trusted source? Hope it didn't come from a taco Bell commercial, or similar. ;)

Please elaborate on how you did the sprouts

so when it comes to brussel sprouts, I will puke if you try to give them to me boiled.  I have had some shaved and pan fried that were ok, and some that were done in a deep fryer that were pretty good.  I honestly prefer them baked.

so when I do them.  I cut the little stalk end off, half them, coat them in a little bit of olive oil, and usually give them a shake with some urban accent veggie roaster seasoning

https://www.urbanaccents.com/product/balsamic-roasted-onion-veggie-roaster/

I put them on a tray and give them a bake at 350deg for somewhere between 30 - 45ish minutes (until they have the color and tenderness that I am looking for).  you can even drizzle a little reduced balsamic glaze or sprinkle a little finely grated parmesan cheese over them before you serve them.  I have also at times added some bacon bits as well (and I used the bacon grease in place of the olive oil to coat the sprouts).

Nate do you reverse seat the burgers?

so to answer both of your questions.....yes I did do a reverse sear on these burgers.  it was my second attempt and it turned out awesome.  and yes I did use a temp probe on these because I am still refining/learning my process for reverse sear of burgers.  I brought them up to about 130deg internal temp, let them sit for a little bit and then seared (put a little crust on the outside) them in a screaming hot/smoking cast iron skillet (about 2 minutes or less a side).

i am not even going to try and copy and paste or give a readers digest version of how to reverse sear......i will give you an actual article that not only gives you the process for reverse sear, but also gives you the science behind it.

https://amazingribs.com/tested-recipes/beef-and-bison-recipes/how-grill-better-steakhouse-steaks-recipe

I have advocated a couple of BBQ/SMOKE forums on here for folks to go and check out on their own...(we all learn at our own pace and have our own way of learning as well)...and one of those sites is the one listed above.  www.amazingribs.com  the gentleman that started/owns (i think) the site/forum is named craig meathead Goldwyn.  he published a book (in an alton brown method) called "the science of great barbecue and grilling" and in that book, he gives you the myth and them he tell you what the real story/science is behind it. 

he has sections on beef, pork, chicken, fish, vegetables, rubs, sauces, brines, hardware, software, different types of grills, smoke, etc, etc, etc

https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&ei=1d6QXK6UC-LqjwTZuY5w&q=meathead+book&oq=meathead+book&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l3j0i22i30l5.7684.8209..8500...0.0..0.242.1022.0j2j3......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j0i67j0i131.vvBUI5RoBvs

I own this book and have actually read it a couple of times and still reference it at times.  one of the other places that I get a lot of knowledge, technique, science as well as recipes from is Cooks Country (they have been in business and a test kitchen for over 25 years).

https://www.cookscountry.com/

this is a quarterly magazine (yes, an actual paper magazine/booklet) that has a huge amount of information in it and not just recipes alone.  it gives you information on tricks and techniques, alternative ways of doing the same process and why certain ways are better than others, the stories/science behind some classic and very popular recipes (like the carne adovada recipe that i posted), it also gives side by side comparison tests of different culinary pieces of equipment, comparisons of different brands of the same product.

not only do they offer a quarterly publication, they also offer a printed hard backed annual as well (of the 25 years worth of annuals, we actually have over half of them).

and if you truly prefer a digital format over hard copy, they offer that as well.

TRN obviously knew why you had temp probes! Thanks for the smidge of info, I’ve never reverse seared anything, probably should give it a whirl, sure sounds tasty.

Wisconsin style lasagna just went in the oven.  Some of you may be asking what Wisconsin lasagna is.  Pretty simple really.  It's like normal lasagna, but you go to heavy on the mozerella cheese so you need to finish the top layer of with a different variety, in this case extra sharp.

Got some wings in the smoker.



Some sort of rub I found on the interwebz.
Just an el cheapo masterbuilt that I learned today goes to at least 275 which is handy to caramelize and render the fats out.

More to follow in a couple hours.

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

Well they’re done!
Don’t have a clue what rub I used. Wasn’t for wings originally according to its flavour but it’s delicious.



Hints of cayenne, garlic, paprika, and some undetermined others. Added hickory smoke and it’s pretty dang tasty. Will get some hot sauce later on.

Took me a brisket from the store today, dry rubbed it with TRN special YouTube guess game.   
Going to let it sit on the seasoning for a week and smoke it Saturday

Wait, wait, wait......did i understand you correctly?

You said you are/were going to take it out of the cryo bag and let it sit in the fridge for a week rubbed with seasoning?

Dave, rub does not penetrate mean.  Salt does.

If you want to try something to get it to penetrate, makes simple brine and brine it for about 12 hours (more would make it a bit salty perhaps).  Then slap your rub on and go once you get it out and rinse it.

You can also make a simple mop sauce with beer, oil, some spices and paprika.  Mop it every hour.

I would like to argue that point, but past has told me to not bother.  What I have done in the past let it sit, than I add another layer of rub just before the smoker.

The last brisket I did with just salt and course pepper wasn’t my favorite flavor and I generally try to not flavor my meet with it, hell anyone can put salt on a plate and dip meat into it as they eat it. 


Y’all just watch n see.   Maybe I’ll build a box to put it in lol
