Garlic scapes are ready, as is our chives. Buddy dropped off a couple beef sirloin steaks, so The Plan was formulated.

Mixed a little pepper in the veggies then steamed them in a fine Chardonnay & butter, tossed some wild rice in with long grain and BarBee'd the beef to perfection:

Thanks. One of very favorite meals.

I just watched a video put out by Ballistic BBQ. He dry aged a brisket 60 days. I was skeptical but the end result sure turned out good and very juicy. The weight loss after dry aging and cooking/smoking low and slow was 50%. Interesting observation he made in that there was no stall in the cooking/smoking process. The temperature just came up gradually to his target finish of 197.

I sure can get the weight loss, but just out of curiosity why would there not be the normal stall period when cooking/smoking. Thanks!

IMO-The weight loss that occurs during prolonged dry aging represents mostly moisture loss. Generally the stall is related to the surface temp drop that occurs as the meat sweats.As moisture coats the surface then it evaporates which cools the meat and stalls the cooking process.

So if there is a 50% moisture loss during dry aging then it would follow that there would be less available moisture to facilitate the stall.

Wrapping loosely in foil still allows a stall, but wrapping tightly in foil helps speed through the stall. Again it is about manipulating the critical surface interface.

In your example the stall is powered through because of a significant reduction of moisture contained within the muscle.

Dry aging is like giving your meat Heat Stroke-You stop sweating if you are severely dehydrated and you overheat.

Kids (12, 7, & 4) made a fruit tray with blueberries, sliced fresh pineapple, sliced strawberries, and sliced apple (no pic). They also made a couple huge bowls of popcorn with butter and salt.
I threw Pork on the bbq for a few hours. Grampa mixes the best seasoning. No clue what’s in it. Meat was starting to come off the bone like some slow cooked ribs.
Wish these times would last forever. Won’t be long and we’ll wonder where they are at dinner time.
