    Looks lovely, did it pick up any smoke? 
    Nope.  I think I went too heavy on the seasoning and too light on the smoke.  I rushed it, due to some mid-stream f*ups on my part.

    The beef was good, but there are some things I will change on my next go around.

    Oh well, corned beef is delicious as well. It's a win either way. Plus you get to try again for perfection. Win-Win-Win!

    How do you score your hotdogs?

    I prefer a nice wide cross-hatch pattern, and little char.

    I can’t really tell a difference when I’ve scored them, so I usually don’t do it. Just a hot skillet usually. Char is good. Costco’s Kirkland brand all beef hotdogs have become my favorite.

    I think the cross-hatch holds condiments better too, but I often forget to score, and thankfully the hotdog gods are a very forgiving lot.  Much nicer than brisket gods.

    You have apparently not met my 11 year old daughter. Forgiving is not the term for if her hot dog is not cooked to spec  :s

    I forgot about the child aspect.  A hot dog can be both too browned and under browned at the same time.  Children are the hardest to please.

    Pork tenderloin.  One at 135 and one at 140.  Plan to see which I like best.

    How long are you cooking them for?

    2.5 hrs is the plan.

    I doubt you’ll notice a huge difference between the two.  It’ll be fairly slight I think, but it might be enough where you have a clear preference.

  • My Gran used to make a soup/ chowder-ish with catfish heads. I loved it as a kid. Miss her cooking.
    Suggested trying to make it for my wife several times over the years, always get told that I would be the only one eating it.

    I often cook things that only I will eat.  Sometimes others join in once they see it is good, sometimes I toss it all.

    I preferred the 140.  135 was just a touch too pink and soft for my palate that was raised on shoe leather pork.  It is subtle, but not insignificant.

    I seared them both in a pan with just butter.  I think the IT probably ended closer to 140 and 145 respectively.  I will stick with spus vide at 140 from now on.  Unless I try 137, but at that point I expect the little piggy to be more of a factor.

    You still haven't defined an upper limit, I'd go get a case of tenderloins, do it right, overdo it.

    145F is as low as I can go when I cook tenderloin for my relatives. Last time that I did that I marinated them overnight with a wet rub. Then I let the nephew cook them on his Dad’s gasser, loaning him my meat thermometer. They all loved it and now he knows how to do it.

    @texaswig

    Thank you.  The spice rub was tossed with eggplant and red onion prior to broiling them and then sautéed in the stew was made up of cumin, allspice, kosher salt, and pepper.  The stew also had minced cilantro stems and lemon zest and juice.  This is the full recipe:

    Made some instapot beef stroganoff. Been hesitant using the instapot for noodle recipes since the starch stays in. Was right. Too starchy for me, but the family liked it.
