I make my own tallow from the trimmings and do the same, but I dont do a wrap, I do a foil boat.

Whats the difference between butcher and freezer paper?
I have rolls of freezer paper for when I butcher deer.
Im guessing freezer paper has a coating on it to prevent freezer burn/loss of moisture, yeah?

yeah freezer paper has a coating on one side.. maybe just wax but could be a poly something you don't want to heat.

Ill have to order some to try. Ive never used it, but I only just got into this whole smoking shit about 3 years ago.

don't quote me on this but i think the paper allows for some slight breathing where foil does not.

it is way messier than foil i'll tell you that!!! and not to discourage you but you're gonna need to use the foil anyway at the end because you're gonna need to wrap up the leftovers and the paper will be greasy and nasty when you're done.
 
Costco had a little more than the same old salt and pepper out in the spice aisle last week and I took full advantage of the new offerings....

Spiceology is really good. Tried their Greek Freak last year and liked so much that when I saw more flavors being offerered, I didn't hesitate.
From cowboy to Asian to Cajun and everything in between it seems they have a blend for it.
Their blackened is the one I've had much better versions of...this one tastes like they asked AI to tell them the ingredients so it's missing that Cajun punch but it's okay if nothing authentic is around.

These three are super exciting for me.
The chile verde is so good as is anything from Spanglish Asadero but I'm really curious about vanilla bean paste??!! Paste? IDK even know what to do with it but I wasn't leaving the store without it

One of the top 5 best tacos I've ever had in my life was just a few weeks ago and it was a crab cake puffy taco.
Best I could do was find their insta for the only pic of them online and it's not even a good one but they used a very spicy crab cake, fish taco style condiments, and a San Antonio style puffy shell.
Now every time I see of crab, crab cakes, and even tacos I'm reminded of these tacos.
It was a lucky find too...weekend special and we were there for my wife's b-day and enchiladas but when I saw crab cake puffy tacos on the specials board, I called an audible 😉

Did a meatloaf back during the great 75 hour Winter of 2026 earlier this year.
Wife was sketched out because all she's had was bad meatloaf but I found a good recipe and now she likes it but it's probably gopnna be like bbq where she won't eat others' bbq but she loves mine.

Y'all talking brisket and making pastrami along with a healthy blood work report peaked my interest. I thought about smoking a brisket this Spring, maybe next weekend, but damn beef is so expensive since the last time I bought one.
I like either a flat or a point and don't do packers so I always bought prime angus or American wagyu market trimmed flats and would set aside about 40 hours for the thing from start to finish.
I use to pay about $14-$17 for that cut and now it's $38. And that was just for a choice! Choice was less than $10 eighteen months ago?
Selection has also evaporated. Remember all those different types of briskets I once showed we had? Now it's only two and anything market trimmed is only choice grade.
I'm not gonna ever pay that for a brisket but I still wanna do a slow smoke bbq so I may do a turkey breast and check out other possible less popular cuts like a chuck roast. I can turn one of those things into a replica brisket and sometimes it's better depending on the cut. Even a London Broil done low and slow can be a good alternative

my loaf recipe is kinda simple anymore.. i take a packet of dry onion soup mix add and egg and breadcrumbs and ground beef.. thats it. mix and airfry at 380 for 40 minutes flipping once half way through. rest and done. time and temp vary from airfryer to airfryer.

Looks great man!!! I was so close to doing a turkey this weekend too.

No cheese on those crab cake tacos but man they were so good that's one I wanna make at home next time I buy some crab.
I bought a pork tenderloin to bbq tomorrow but I broke down.

It's been around a 2 year hiatus from working some smoke and I'm feeling good about things so why not.
It was $9.50/lb for the prime and $9 for choice so why not just get the prime. It looked better anyways and got a decent one that wasn't all fat cap.
I'm lazy and not gonna make any tallow so yeah I'll pay that xtra to not have to trim one of these fuckers so there's some luxury to that $9.50. I didn't look at packers but I bet they're closer to $7/lb.
Small at less than 3lbs but that also means around an 6-10 hour cook and not 12+. + I just want my fix. Not needing to feed an army and wanna keep it at least heart conscious if I cant do heart healthy so if I want brisket, I have to do it and can't go buy the stuff they load up with brown sugar and salt everybody loves here.

We did turkey with stuffing in the oven and a ham that just fit in the crockpot. Green beans, turnip, sweet potato and mashed potatoes with gravy.

Unfortunately turkeys and vegetables were harmed in the making of the video so I’m not allowed to post them. 🦃🐖🪓😈
