“Poor Man’s” Burnt Ends are “Off The Hook”! I love Burnt Ends and not being able to afford the high cost of brisket can never get enough of them. I got the idea for our “Poor Man’s Burnt Ends” from Larry Wolfe and his ”The Wolfe Pit” Face book Group where he shows us how to do them with chuck roast.
So, I have done a few cooks of what we are calling our “Poor Man’s” Burnt Ends and Tips now, this last one with stew meat. I remembered stew meat as a tough, cheap meat needing long cooking time. Not so any more, it’s still tough and needs loving care in cooking but it is no longer cheap at $4.99 a pound. A nice chuck roast is a better choice at a dollar or more less a pound.
Tonight I thought I would put a bit of a twist on these by adding garlic, onions and chipotle. “Off The Hook” meat candy with a chipotle twist!
Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.
Thank you so much for your time and ideas
So simple my mother in law could actually make a good dinner
