That’s right, were all here because we love food, in particular: Steak.

And I enjoy reading other post’s on this forum that have pics of other’s process’s and fridge setups. It’s good to compare your techniques and methods to others, and to see their setup, and hopefully pick up some tips along the way.

Here are a few quick pics of a Canada AAA Angus Striploin, equivalent to an upper end USDA Choice. Aged 28 days in an All Fridge (no freezer), with two battery operated fans (used in small fridges such as in an RV) used to circulate he air.
Click here for the fan.
The temperature controlled via a Ranco temp controller. The fans and Ranco ideas were tips I picked up from other members in this forum. Thanks for the tips!

The finished product pic will come tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Post your pics of your food porn!

That looks fantastic. Nice choice on the wine. Ruffino Chianti is so cheap but sooooooo smooth.

Thanks for posting!!

First one! A ribeye which was choice grade and was in the bag for 35 days…
Initial weight was 15.3 pounds and final weight was 7.8 pounds.

So after seeing this, we decided to salt a couple of them instead of sous vide. We grilled them on the Primo and put up the rest for future use.

Really, really tasty. Ribeye # 2 is shortly behind and we will do a prime grade for # 3 even though this choice grade was as tender as good prime!

15.3 and then 7.8? Just for kicks and giggles you might want to trim a WHOLE bunch of that hard fat off in the future, before starting the aging process…

Thanks for the advice. I will do that on the next round. It will fit in the bag better!

Wow aiki, those look perfect! Do I see bacon wrapped around that asparagus?

Thank you. Yes, those are bacon wrapped asparagus. All was cooked over a wood fire.

mmmmmm fire….

i just have a propane grill (small one at that). Next goal is to try do wood or charcoal grill.

You can start with a charcoal grill and use lump charcoal. An electric fire starter will prevent flavor from charcoal lighter fluid. After the fire has matured, add some mesquite or pecan chips to the coals and add the meat!

Have fun!

Ah yes, cooking over lump char wood adds a whole new element. RRP and myself both use Green Eggs, and aiki either uses a Primo or an Egg, nevertheless, same ceramic cooking method. Yoe can sear a steak at 700 degree, then roast it at 400 to finish it. Others swear by sous vide, but haven’t tried it myself, not that I’m willing to try it someday.

I have had a BGE for 12 years and added a Primo Oval XL last year. They are both marvelous cookers. You can cook really hot and fast, low and slow, direct and indirect and on and on. When the salesman told me that the BGE was the only cooker I would need, I doubted him. Time and experience has proven him correct! An excellent investment, indeed!
