First and second cook on my Bull

[WooPigFoodie]

Here’s a couple pics of my first and second cook. Did a quick rib run since that is what I have regularly done on my Weber Smoky Mountain, so this was a good cross compare. Did 3-2-30 with the first 2 at 180. I thought they had good smoke and will do 1.5 hours at 180 next time and only 15 on the finish not 30. They were super consistent end to end. Really nice.

On the ribeye, I smoked it at 225 for an hour then pulled it off and cranked the Bull to 600. I seared it on the grill grates, rested it and topped it with a homemade garlic herb compound butter. The best steak I’ve ever made and I make a lot of good steaks!

WPF- all looks great. I just did a ribeye with same low temp and smoke then onto a blistering hot cast iron skillet. Great sear and crust. Next I want to try the same thing after sous viding the ribeye. ??

I was so surprised how much this reverse sear was to using the sous vide. Smoking them at 180 for an hour gave them that same plumpness that you get with a sous vide! I thought these were so tasty. Can’t wait to do this again!!!

They don’t seem to be the same size as the ones sold by Rec Tec for the Bull. Do they fit ok?

 

[WooPigFoodie]

These are the size that grill grates says to use on the Bull, 19.5 inches. I run them sideways to dump the grease in the trap, not the barrel. Here’s a pic. Sorry for the mess, just finished making teriyaki rib tips.

Looks like these are the exact same sized ones Rec Tec sells.
