    I'm grinding Thursday. Beef not me.

    Got this today a 6+# Chuck Roast. We do P/U from local store. Advertised at 3-5#. This is a bit larger. So, the idea is/was to do 3 2# portions. Grind 2# and do Burnt Ends #2 maybe for SB and my wife gets the last 2# for whatever. My wife says, why don't you get another one next week for the B.E's. She wants to make a roast (slow cooker) to get my daughter to come over this weekend. I have no leverage on this so, I'm grindin' Thursday.

      That's a good looking roast. We also use food to get the kids to come over more often. We have a standing Sunday evening dinner but sometimes do Saturday brunch, usually balina (German pancakes), to get another day out of them.

              I would love to find a 6 pound chuck roast for that price. That would make a mountain of smoked shredded beef. I can just imagine all of the Birria Tacos I could make with it.

              I can only find 3 pound ones or smaller. and I seem to pay around $20 for them.

                Today, the new grinder arrived today. Thanks again Attjack. So I was going to get some chuck cuz I thought I only had one 4 oz. left. Tonight went into basement freezer. Well found 5 6 oz.'s. So chuck is out. I found a small brisket flat, 2# and short ribs 1.5# with bone. I thought with some reading that these could be a match. Brisket lean, short ribs fatty. Thoughts please.

                  We had burgers from chuck that I ground a couple of days ago. Seriously good. For the burgers I had a bit more fat than the usual 80/20. That left a pound of more lean chuck which I vac-sealed and it will be used probably next week for weeknight tacos.

                    I always try to do a 70/30 mix of chuck to brisket (or short rib). Gets nice and juicy yet gets that extra beefy flavor.

                      I highly recommend a chuck/brisket/short rib blend. Very tasty. Try for 30% fat (or more).

                    Masterbuilt MPS 340/G ThermoTemp XL Propane Smoker


                    This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp's dial from 175o to 350oF and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin'.

                    GrillGrates Take Gas Grills To The Infrared Zone


                    GrillGrates(TM) amplify heat, prevent flareups, make flipping foods easier, kill hotspots, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily rmoved from one grill to another. You can even throw wood chips, pellets, or sawdust between the rails and deliver a quick burst of smoke.

                    The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy


                    The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

                    Green Mountain's portable Davy Crockett Pellet Smoker is one mean tailgating and picnic machine. But it's also gaining popularity with people who want to add a small, set it and forget it pellet smoker to their backyard arsenal. And with their WiFi capabilities you can control and monitor Davy Crocket from your smart phone or laptop.

                    Heat Resistant Gloves With Extra Long Sleeves Hold The Hot Stuff

                    If you're using oven mitts at the grill, it's time to trade up. Say hello to these suede welder's gloves. They're heat resistant enough to handle hot grill grates, and flexible enough to handle tongs. The extra long sleeves even let you reach deep into the firebox to move hot logs without getting burned.

                    The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One


                    The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.
