The official all things bbq thread! (continued) [General]
2015 May 4
I did not have time to source tri-tip. So instead a couple of pieces of butt. Also did some freezer mining and found the last small pack of krusty brand ribs. I tried to smoke some bad frozen chicken wings from Costco - the result was better chicken wings than normal but still pretty sad. All in all a good weekend, with plenty of pulled pork going back in the freezer for future nacho's/sandwiches and salads - yes pulled pork salad. Yum.

What's the collective wisdom on frozen meat for bbq lifespan?
I have pork chops, chicken breasts and beef kebabs, all frozen back Aug 2014. No frost or discoloration i can see.
Garbage, worth a try, worth a try but have a back-up just in case, or marinate the living hell out of everything then hit the grill and hope for the best?

Most of the stuff I do is frozen, as I buy when on sale. Should be no issue if they aren't freezer burnt. If they look a bit freezer burnt - then go with marinade to get some more moisture back in. The meat won't spoil, but the texture/taste may be off a bit. Given it less than one year, and it all looks good you should be good to go. (Frozen 1 month or 12 - freezer burn is the only factor)

OK the grilling topic is ongoing, but I'm bring this back to life, to include smoking. At Easter we did boneless smoked leg of lamb. It turned out very well and I was quite happy with it. It looks like a great weekend to get the smoker fired up again, and I'm thinking maybe Tri-tip. Anyone else firing up the smoker on this weekend?
