Good eats for lunch at the office today!

[Caneyscud]

Dusted off the ole "Secret" Traeger.  Put on 2 racks of BBribs, and a Sam's Prime beef butt.  Can't wait till 4 hours is up!  That hickory sure smells good rolling.  Photos not the best - from my iphone camera. 



One of the racks is "humped"

Nice Caney...

I'm not sure I could pull off a pellet grill at the office, but we do have a george foreman. (yeah, I know, its better than just a nuker)

What I need to talk them into is hiding a ton order of pellets...

What is a 'beef butt'?

Our cafeteria is closed for 2 weeks...   I could probably roll my Traeger out on the deck here, and make some scratch on the side!

What is a 'beef butt'?

I wish I knew for sure - It looks to be a whole muscle - I would guess from the shoulder somewhere - It is very tender and being prime - usually very well marbled.

Mine is at the office - afraid to take it home!

Glad I didn't have a ton pellets - I lost 60 lbs because of the big rain of two weeks ago.  Some water got into the shop, and got into the pellets.  Pellets and water don't mix - I'll use the sawdust in some other smoker.

Beef butt is typically boneless top sirloin.  Did it look something like this ?

[Caneyscud]

Can't say for sure, that is what I thought also.  but it doesn't look to have the same structure.  In fact is looks to have some of the structure of a sirloin tip.  My best guess would be a sirloin tip roast . It's tender at just 125 - 130 IT.  I've seen whole top sirloins, and they are usually 12+ pounds the ones I've seen - these are about 6 pounds. 

Finished pictures (excuse the pic quality - iphone pics)


Beef Butt with a little missing for the cook.  Plus my new fork.  That thing could pick me up without bending.


BBRibs - 4 hours - pull off bone tender

That all looks great Caney.

[ronbeaux]

TILT!

[squirtthecat]

Nice!!

What temp did you run at?

[hal4uk]

That does look good.
(even if you did wash it down with a runner-up...   ::) )

[Caneyscud]

Nice!!

What temp did you run at?

Don't really know!  Only had my Thermapen and I had replaced the original controller.  Letting a friend borrow the digital controller to see if he wants one.  Warmed up at Med, cut back to Smoke for 2 hours, back up to med for another 2 hours.  Got some phone calls and couldn't get out to pull and the IT got to 133.  The butt was pulled in 3.5 hours and the BBribs in 4 hours.

Looks mighty nice Caney!

Did you have to take a nap after lunch?

Ribs look like $$$$.

[Caneyscud]

That does look good.

But what about the feelings of all those little pieces of charcoal that got schnockered and gave their lives so everybody could "sip"?
