Some new toys and some cooks

Had the in laws over tonight and did a couple creekstone farms prime tri tips with Oakridge Santa Maria rub (our family’s favorite protein these days)....smoked at 275-300 with white oak splits for about an hour then wrapped in foil to rest and then prepared grill for a sear. Seared for about 90 seconds per side...I DiG the adjustable charcoal grate!!!!!!! That, along with the massive amounts of airflow allow for an extremely hot fire...I’m not sure if these are the best I’ve ever cooked, but I also wouldn’t argue that either...

Last one...did some smash burgers with sautéed onions. they actually came out bland...needed mode seasoning and a harder sear. Got to get some lights out up as I can’t see much after sunset

Did the obligatory brisket and butt on the M1 today. On at 6am at 300-315, wrapped brisket in BP and butt in foil after 6 hours to finish.

Turned out well, although my bark was soft in spots on the brisket. Not sure if it’s because I used a water pan when cooking?

24 degrees and 15mph winds at 5am

Away we go! Brisket was Kosmos cow cover and Texas beef and butt was oak ridge secret weapon

6 hour mark. Notice the soft bark in the middle of brisket?

Went too heavy with sauce on the burnt ends but the person they are for likes a lot of sauce

Chopped some of the flat for future nacho toppings or tacos

The M1 cruises at 290-315 with a split every 30-40 minutes. Vents wide open the whole time. End result was a very nice smoke flavor. Sweet, a little more pronounced than my pellet food, but not too heavy. I dig the M1!

Fantastic looking food! The M1 doesn’t gasp for air, thats for sure... an incredibly clean burning cooker!

That chicken looks amazing, even a little dark. The brisket and butt also look excellent!
