What's that you're eating?

Work potluck tomorrow, I caught a sale on chuck roast

Time for poor man's burnt ends

Salt, pepper and garlic (and a small bit of seasoning salt) as the first rub , smoked with hickory and cherry till about 165/170ish

Then foil wrapped with smoked beef tallow I've made before

Then cubed, re seasoned with a sweet rub , hot honey and bbq sauce and smoked till a bit of carmalization

OK, this seems much more accessible than a brisket. Well done!

Those look awesome. More like smart man’s burnt ends! (Bet the meat to fat ratio is better than brisket burnt ends, too).

Actually smoking brisket points would've been cheaper but I caught a sale

Brisket points have more fat in the muscle to break down (equals more tenderness)... chuck roast can be a bit more difficult without drying out

But smoked beef tallow works wonders!

My gram used tallow and lard all the time. That and the cast iron Dutch Oven is a memory of taste I will never forget, can’t be duplicated

Yours looks fantastic bro 😎❤️
 
Any of y’all have experience with air fryers, either budget bargain or higher end? My mother in law’s old 1990s electric Amana range is a challenge to cook on. We were thinking about buying an air fryer to augment the cooking this trip! I also brought my portable induction burner which helps supercharge cast iron skillet cooking and speeds up large boiling jobs like batches of potatoes for mashing.

I’m going on 71 and I’ve had this with the family since I was created….my dear grandmother was from England and this was a family recipe….Ham Loaf. 🤤

I’ve been making it the past 45+ years for my family at Christmas… 🎄🎅❤️

A very Merry Christmas to all and God Bless 🙏
