Reverse seared prime rib made in the oven.

Thanks again. This thing is awesome. Love the beer holders. .

I had another great marketplace find. Picked up this 827a Berkel 12” slicer for 100 bucks. Needs a little TLC but I think it is going to be great. This is my first slicer so cleaning and lubricating it will probably teach me a lot about it. It started right up and belt and motor seem solid. It is missing the slice deflector which I am debating if I even need. Also the tray gets a little stiff as it approaches the blade. It is getting much better after I added some mineral oil to the rod that it slides on. Hope this is OK to do. Could not think of another way to lubricate the bushings. Also there is an oil hole at the end of the rod which I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with. I may need a new sharpening stone and could use new feet. But for $100 I don’t mind investing a little.

It has a Somewhat oxidized look to it, may be from something they tried to clean it with previously. Wondering if anybody has any tricks to shine it up. Was thinking maybe barkeepers friend but wasn’t sure.

Rib eye roast cut down to steaks (untrimmed), salt, pepper, granulated garlic in cast iron grill pan.

Pork Cracklins from the skin of the shoulder I’m currently smokin’. Nice little snack while I wait. Dusted them with franks red hot powder.

One last hurrah for the pulled pork in this burrito. Time to portion it out, vac it up, and freeze what’s left.

Halloween charcuterie board for costume party. First attempt at a charcuterie board. I think it came out pretty darn good. But definitely much harder than it looks in the videos I watched to get me to this point.

Pan to oven chicken thighs. And Asparagus.
And some drumsticks made into chicken pops for the kids. First time trying this presentation and they ate it up.

Put the cannon to work again.
Ground pork jerky sticks. With mandarin teriyaki seasoning. Threw a portion of the batch into the oven after dehydrating just to see how they turned out. Probably won’t be doing that again. I’m cool with dehydrator only. Both were delicious.

Jonathon it was after watching either Gordon Ramsay or Kenji Lopez-alt, or a combo that I finally nailed the scallops. Curious how they would be cooked sous vide. I know the shrimp I’ve done that way came out perfect but the scallops need a nice sear in my opinion.

lkrfletcher great minds think alike.

Did some last minute garlic shrimp.

Jonathon oh man that sounds great. Definitely will have to try making something like that.

HerbcoFood looks delish.

kyle looks great. What exactly is it you wrapped those pickles with?

This thing is definitely a beast. Happy I went with the 1050 though. As you guys have said many times better to go as big as you can and you won’t regret it.

Did the initial burn in and seasoning with cheap charcoal briquettes. For the smoke I did alternating layers of lump charcoal and hickory chunks. I did see a video or two someone using full splits in the hopper with just a few briquettes at the bottom to get things going. Look forward to trying that as well. Could be as close to an automated offset as I could get.

Took Six minutes to hit 225 from the time I lit the fire starter. Supposedly it will get to 700° in 15 minutes. But I didn’t push it that hard yet as I was cooking low and slow. But seems like that would have great potential for reverse sear.

Didn’t have my good thermometer in there but based on the control panel it held the temperature surprisingly tight for charcoal. Will have to do a real test when I have more time but seemed to fluctuate only +/-5°.

Comparing it to my neighbors cooks on his Pellet grill I definitely felt like mine had a better smoke flavor (but that could just be the cook)

So far I love this thing. I will keep you guys posted as I get some more cooks on it.

The one problem I had was with the controller LED. Did not reach out to Masterbuilt yet but I’m sure they will make good on it. I will put a picture below to show what I mean. Some of the lines in the LED were dim or went in and out. Luckily looks like swapping out the controller will be easy if they send me a replacement. Also a little glitchy with connection to the app. But I don’t really use that too much anyway.
