Chillin' & Grillin' with T-ROY COOKS
I'm originally from Baton Rouge, LA, moved to Austin, TX in 1990, and in 2023 moved to New Mexico. I try to incorporate some Cajun and Creole flavors with Southwestern flare. On my channel, you will see Southern Cooking mixed with a little Cajun, Texas BBQ, Italian, Mexican, and whatever else I feel like cooking. I usually upload one video per week, but since retiring I have times where I may not upload for a month or more so I can vacation with family. Hope you will subscribe and continue to enjoy all of my videos. Thanks!!!

    As long as it's tender when probing, you should be good. Flat will probably be a little dry, but Point should be excellent!!! With Choice, I usually inject the flat with beef broth or something to help it out.

    Hey troy, love the videos! You convinced me to get a wsm this year. I smoked a 7lb pork butt that came out a little dry. It was my first time using the wsm and the temps were sort of all over the place as i learned to dial it in. Would temps fluctuations cause the butt to come out a bit dry?

  • @TROYCOOKS
    @TROYCOOKS21 күн бұрын

    Temp fluctuations happen on a new WSM. Give it about 5-6 cooks to get that carbon buildup inside and it'll rock steady on temps afterwards. It could have been the butt that wasn't filled with enough fat? If you buy another one like it, just inject some goodness into the butt before you start cooking it and it should turn out juicy. You can also wrap when it hits around 165F internal to help keep it juicy. Hope that helps and I'm sure you'll enjoy that WSM the more you cook on it! Cheers Mike!!!

    This guy is Awesome ! hes smoking Cool and so easy to listen too and informative ! So one video T Roy wraps brisket after stall.... on another video T Roy does not wrap brisket at all Which ways best ? should you cover the the thinner flat w foil so it does not cook quicker since its thinner then the point how do i keep a even temp throughout on My WSM thanks T Roy

  • @TROYCOOKS
    @TROYCOOKS21 күн бұрын

    I like bark, so I prefer not wrapping, but wrapping will give a faster cook and help retain the juices from the brisket. Some folks tent foil over the flat, but I don't do that because I like the bark. Play around with it and see which you like best! Have fun and enjoy the cook. I'm confident your family & friends will also enjoy your BBQ!!! Cheers brother!!!

    Trying this out now, just waiting on the second rise. However, how long do you cook it for and what temp? I don't have anything special, just my oven and some metal pans. Should I spray them with olive oil before making the pizza? Or any prebaking?

  • @TROYCOOKS
    @TROYCOOKS22 күн бұрын

    I would prebake the dough after rolling or tossing it into pizza shape. Prebake for about 8-10 mins, then put on your ingredients and bake until done to your liking. I usually baked loaded pizza for around 12-15 mins at 475-500F on a pizza stone or 15-18 mins at 400-425F in a metal pan. Hope that helps! Cheers and enjoy!!!!

    Hey T-Roy! I've watched many of your cooks previously, but recently was searching for the Groven, and noticed you reviewed this back in the day. You still have your cooker? If so, how's it holding up. Ps. Do you know if this company still around? I send them a few messages via their website, but no response... Also, have you seen their new Markhor model?

  • @TROYCOOKS
    @TROYCOOKS22 күн бұрын

    I recently moved to New Mexico and gave the GrOven to a catering company in Austin so I wouldn't have to pay for shipping it to NM. In fact, I gave away all my cookers except for my WSM's and Weber Kettle cookers, so I'm starting over with my assortment of cookers. So far, I have a new Lone Star Grillz 24x40 offset and a new Camp Chef Woodwind Pro pellet cooker. I have not heard of the Markhor model and I'm assuming they are still in business. I will let you know that the GrOven was one of the best wood burning cookers I've ever used. The food tasted incredible and I loved how easily it maintained temps and how easy it was to adjust temps. Wishing I'd kept mine!!! Thanks for the question and I appreciate you watching! Cheers brother!!!

    Red Beans are not Cajun. I am reading numerous recipes that label red beans as Cajun. Red beans were brought to Louisiana by the Haitian people who escaped the after effects of the Haitian revolution. They transformed😮😅 the culture of Louisiana. Please stop distorting history. Red Beans are Creole.
