Editor's Notes
The recipe
What other things require us to prepare and follow a process?
I’ve selected the Memphis Wood Fire Grill because it’s more precise especially in colder climates.
I’ve selected pellet grills because they can be used in areas which restrict types of grills (they’re considered electric), they’re also versatile and easy to use and keep clean.
Buying prime is essential.
Salt and pepper 1:1 ratio and coat generously, but don’t go too crazy.
Water and worcestershire also 1:1 in spray bottle for just before wrapping in butcher paper.
If you’re lookin’ you’re not cookin’!
It might take 8 hours so be patient.
BE PATIENT! Let it rest. “Hurry ruins saints as well as artists.” Thomas Merton
