Smoked a prime rib the other day for a late Easter

This is the right thread.  @nolaegghead setup the other "cooking" thread just to steal views and posts from me.  I just let go out of proper decorum.  He doesn't want me to get the free XXL BGE offers for 1,000,000,000 egghead points.

Dang it, this is @nolaegghead 's thread too!  See what he did there.

The local market was awesome. Here is a sampling of what we hauled off.

How well does it store?  Does it get harder when frozen?

I assume your asking about the ice from my Opal? Firms it up definitely, but not the end of the world.

Good to know.  I have been looking at them.  Dedicating the counter space is my only hang up remaining.

The question is was the prime rib recently bought?

Great assortment there. The colours are great.

That is a great idea, and thank you for the advice on cleaning it.  Will look for a cleaner at the local restaurant supply.

Did an inventory of on hand tea and pet supplies and placed a couple of replenishment orders.

We got home from a Colorado getaway last night.  Ran some errands today, one stop was a meat market for three racks of St. Louie's at $4/lb.  Came home with this...

And if you see this at Costco, buy it!  On sale at $5/bag right now.  It may contain Crack...

*I think my debate prep for "Resolved: America Is A Great Country" is complete!

Fareway is great. Do you have one of the stand alone meat markets in your area?

Popping my cherry on SRF gold. Haven’t done a brisket in a long time. Can’t wait. 

In other news, looks like commodity brisket prices are way down. HEB today. prime 1 (their better grade) was $3.99lb and prime was $2.96. I have not seen prime brisket with a 2 in front of it in years.

@pgprescott

Those came from a standalone Fareway Meat Market.  Unfortunately there are none of their supermarkets in my area.

The Meat markets are pretty nice though. Enjoy.

I moved from @pgpresscott and my home town, just to get to a town with a Fareway.  I see a woman in Ames, where there is a standalone Fareway meat market.  She thinks I come to visit her.  She has a big freezer.

Nice haul on the Buffalo Trace and the EC. Missed out on a store pick 4 Roses today by 2 customers, not my day

I feel your pain. My interior decorator wife met with our GC this morning for 2 bathroom renos. He called me laughing and said here we go

@ColbyLang we live in a modest house. 4 bedrooms. She has so much crap that we are now living in 1 room. I feel like I’m in a hotel room.  She and the GC keep changing stuff.  He and I are going to have a chat.  This all started with a cracked tile in the shower. We are now renovating 3 rooms. 🤦‍♂️

@dbCooper - great acquisition right there.  Enjoy.

@The Cen-Tex Smoker  the one heads up I will offer regarding SRF Gold is to be well aware of the rendering.  Make sure there is no way the fat gets to your fire.  There's a personal story there that ended well but not without some excitement and ice cubes.
With that size you may be able to feed a good number of Fredricksburg locals as it is incredibly rich.
Enjoy as I am sure you will.

I knew a contractor once. He had a deep sea fishing boat called “Change Order”.

I offer no advice.  You are both titans of brisket.  I can barely make a hamburger.

I have a drip pan. We have a house full of 20-somethings this weekend. This thing does not stand a chance. 

We are doing part of this Loro style with the Thai dressing, cilantro, Fresno chilis

we are doing the Momofuku Bo Ssam pork butt as well. 

Oldest is making ramen from scratch tonight. House smells incredible

Found a used one of the Polyscience/Breville Control Freak induction eyes. Has a temp sensor built into the unit to measure the skillet temp and a plug in one for either the food or the cooking liquid and can maintain temps accurate to 1.8 degrees.  Should be here Monday, I'm a sucker for toys.

Never even knew such a thing existed.  That is super cool.  Looking forward to your report.
