      I also have an idea for a sourdough pizza crust with either chopped beef or pulled pork as a topping. Then served with fermented garlic honey drizzled on the top.

    Great video! And it's particularly timely for me, as I've been trying to figure out the best way to smoke a chuck roast. I've been wrapping them halfway through and adding some broth for moisture. I'm impressed that yours turned out so good (at least, it looks that way) from simply smoking them all the way to tenderness, without any obvious issues with drying out.

    • @FireandFerment
      @FireandFerment  2 місяці тому +1

      Thank you for watching! Yeah, drying out can be a challenge, I think the key is getting them to probe tenderness, usually 203-210. No more and no less. Adding some liquid part way can help but you also risk softening the bark too which isn’t always the best. It’s a balance for sure. I’m glad you liked the video!

    I have to admit that smoking a chuck roast is something I never considered (I’ve only done briskets). However, when watching your video, I got a couple of ideas. Has anyone tried brushing the roast with smoked tallow as it cooks, and then again, when prepping for the resting period? I also got the idea to add an onion to the fire box during the cook. Worth a try. Zach, thank you for the video. I was inspired by watching it.

    • @FireandFerment
      @FireandFerment  2 місяці тому

      Thanks for checking it out! Fantastic idea with the tallow. I do something similar with my briskets, where I smoke the tallow and then add it to the butcher paper when I wrap. I’ve got a video showing my brisket method as well. And yeah for sure, I’ve heard of that onion trick but I’ve never done it. I’m sure it puts off all kinds of awesome aromas and flavors!

    • @FireandFerment
      @FireandFerment  2 місяці тому

      I recommend it! I know they can be pricey but they’re totally worth it. Those long holds increase quality of the end product and there’s a reason the best bbq joints have them. I’ve tried all kinds of workarounds and unfortunately there’s not a good alternative. Especially for holding briskets. Warmers also give so much freedom and flexibility in serving as you don’t have to try to dial in unpredictable cooking and serving times. For large cuts I always cook the day before and hold till the next day. But it goes beyond even large cuts, even if just doing a ton of burgers for a party, you can grill them earlier in the day and hold at perfect serving temps for the guests, then focus on hosting when people arrive. It’s the best BBQ investment I’ve made besides my smoker itself.

    I'm seriously considering getting a Bellfab 36x24. Is yours 1/4" or is it thicker? Did you do any customizing? What did it end up costing you if you don't mind me asking?

    • @FireandFerment
      @FireandFerment  Місяць тому

      Awesome man I highly recommend it! I haven’t looked back. My only regret is I didn’t do the bigger model. Mine is thicker, 3/8” which is insane. It cooks the same in the hot summer and freezing winter since it’s so thick. And it’ll outlive my grandkids who aren’t even born yet. As far as customizing, yeah I did. I had the firebox door added, tractor wheels, stainless steel handles, turkey hooks on the inside, a couple of welded bars to hold utensils on the side, a wood rack on the bottom, and a couple of additional temperature ports on the side. If I were purchasing again, I would for sure get the firebox door, stainless handles, and tractor wheels. I would forego the turkey hooks, utensil holders, side probe ports, and bottom wood rack. I think altogether with the customizations it was $1,150. That was almost 2.5 years ago, so price may have gone up since then.

      @@FireandFerment Yeah, I've been talking to Craig and now I'm leaning towards the 48. I'm planning to add a smoke collector, golf cart wheels and firebox door on the side rather than top. $1400 for the 36 or $2150 for the 48 so maybe the price has gone up a little but still quite reasonable compared with other options out there. Since I live only 3 hours from his location, I am just going to pick it up so I won't have any shipping costs which I think leads me towards the 48.

    • @FireandFerment
      @FireandFerment  2 місяці тому +5

      Thanks for tuning in! For your education, that is called bark, and it’s an element in BBQ that is extremely sought after. Raw in the middle? Nope. Internal temp of all the chucks were above 200, which is well above what is considered “done”. In fact it’s so done that the connective tissue and fat had a chance to render out creating the juicy, succulent meat you see here.

      @FireandFerment I actually responded just to your thumbnail pic. I know what bark is, so I dont need you to "educate" me. I also know there's a big difference between bark and charred or charcoal. What you have is charred, charcoal which can cause cancer.
      Your internal temperature isn't shown on a video (at least not in the 1st 30 seconds) so folks have to go by what it looks like and the outside is so burnt that even if the inside is medium rare, it looks RAW on the video in comparison.
      Like I said, no thanks, I wouldn't even give that to my dog. Go watch some videos from the BBQ Pit Boys, How to BBQRight, AllThingsBBQ, or Meat Church, and learn the difference between bark and burnt to a crisp!
