I tried something new tonight. Poor man's burnt ends. Chuck roast cut into cubes on the smoker. Get them to 165°, put them in a tin with honey, wrap/cover and take them to 203°ish. Looks good, tastes good, but not very tender. I've lost faith in my 3 different thermometers and will be investing in a Meater. Small pieces are harder to get a good read on. If the thermometer is not exactly right it'll read high.

It’s always the thermometers fault. Get a Thermapen. No more excuses.

It's a chuck roast...suitable for braising and grinding. I've cooked it every way possible and while it has great flavor it will generally be tough but can surprise so I generally stick to braising or grinding.

This is what I put on the grill tonight. Chops cut from a pork tenderloin.

I'm wondering what suggestion people have in keeping the lid of my (free on the side of the road) Weber grill clean on the outside. I've used this maybe a 20 - 30 times. It was clean to start, now it is not.

And now you know why they're usually black.

Once it no longer has any grease on it you can use a high heat resistant paint made for grills and automotive engines. Pick your own color or just use black. If you have trouble locating high heat paint try contacting Weber directly.

great easy solution suggestion! I used high temp black on my fire pit project and it's great. but the Engine block idea is super as you may get a rainbow of options.

One just needs to understand the temps can get really high on the lid .. so be sure to pick a high temp paint

engine enamel typically 500F, BBQ black is 1200F

my red weber is ceramic coated .. .. ohhhh stop the press .. love google: 2000F with ceramic:


or other colors or gloss's

Did a brisket using the Egg Nerds rub mentioned pages ago.

Starred late but i cut the thin end and only 5 lbs maybe.

Cooked at 220, 230 ish max while smoking, first 2 to 3 hrs then pushed it up to higher to push.

Did mop and have water in my weber grill.

Came out pretty good, Mayne wrap it prior to being done. I didn't wrap at all

Possibly the hurrah of the season up here in the Minneapple. Smoked, modified Texas Style (S&P, cumin, and chili powers) uncured pork belly......pulled it and made ridiculous sandwiches on Martins Potato rolls (imported from my last trip to the homeland aka Jersey!!!) and put some in seamed bao buns, with sirachia mayo, pickled onion, and scallions.
