Beef Cheeks Part II

[16Adams]

Nice package of well trimmed beef cheeks. Seasoned once with Oakridge SPOGOS. Lit a couple Rutland Squares in side the drum fueled by B&B Mesquite or rather @Hardwood with Mesquite” and a few mesquite chunks along with a pecan mini log. . Once the drum got going I used the remainder of my big bag of SPOGOS massaging and rotating for full coverage. OK Joe Bronco to over 200*. I’m going to smoke in the pan until around 10pm, bring them in add almost a pint of Smokey beef tallow, seal up tight and place in the oven at 195* overnight. Probably be edible, if not-Whataburger is only a few hundred yards away.

your working late, I'm drooling....

 

[16Adams]

All indications I did OK.

Estimated Times
5 hours + but not six in drum at 275
8 hours + but not nine in 195* oven

 

[HogGrog]

Spectacular, and great for tacos and enchiladas or on a fork !

 

[KClandcruiser]

That'll certainly eat! Appreciate the exact time durations :-D

It's amazing how thin they are yet they need about the same time and temp as a Butt or Brisket to breakdown.

Wife is planning a trip to help her niece move in a couple of weeks, I think Cheeks and Lamb, along with some Duck will be on the menu that weekend because she ain't eating none of that. :crazy:

Sad when it’s over. Fixed a beef cheek breakfast Chaffle. Strained juices and saving go into another dish, squished the cheeks and in the fridge to be separated into baggies later.
