Not sure what to call them, as there are so many descriptions out there. All I know is that they are beef, boneless, and a close cut to beef brisket. My package said "Beef finger ribs", so that's what I'll go with. The dry rub: Even amounts of Salt (course or kosher preferred) Pepper Paprika Then half the amounts of Garlic Powder Onion Powder Cayenne Pepper Powder I pasted mustard all over the ...

Char-Griller Akorn Jr - Grilled Flank Steak and Baked Potatoes
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.4 года назад
If you're a meat and potatoes type person, this one's for you! Flank steak is one of my favorites due to it's thick cut. Grill on maximum heat for about a minute or two on both sides, take it off and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice it thin, serve as is or call it a roast and pour some gravy on there. Also great for steak wraps, stir fry, and fajitas! Enjoy! Happy New Year's to everyone watching!

Why steam the ribs? Ruins them
I dunno, I watch a lot of Malcom Reed and his 'How to Barbecue Right' channel. He does this method as well, and I think it's to break down the meat fibers so it's not so tough and chewy. Other people do low and slow, but always seem to be spraying the ribs with water or cider every so often. There's so many ways to do them...lol. I guess this is just my way (and Malcom Reed's).
@ the spray with liquid doesn’t steam the meat. The steaming does cut down cooking time by at least an hour but there is a trade off. Try sometime without the steam and see if you notice the difference. I’m 50 years old and been smoking and grilling since I got married at 19. It’s shocking how many grills and smokers I’ve burnt up over the years
@@DanielJohnson-ec8rk I will definitely give this a try, thanks! I'm always open to suggestions on different cooking methods!
@ I appreciate your video. I came mainly to learn to use this new grill and you didn’t disappoint
@@DanielJohnson-ec8rk Hey thanks Daniel! Happy grilling buddy!
It's close to well-done. No way Its medium-rare
Ah....you're right. It was closer to medium rare. It was my first attempt at steak on the akorn, since then I've learned to use a temperature probe...lol. Thanks.
Looking to buy an acorn ... question: what's the difference between an Akorn jr ... good deal now on Amazon ....and an akorn chargriller which every vendor seems to be out of stock on.
Hi there, the Akorn Jr (Junior) is the smaller version of the Char-griller Akorn. The large Akorn grill has a 20" diameter grate, while the Akorn Jr has a 14" grate size. Hope this helps.
@@jasonpowless1179 Just ordered one $124 on amazon prime day. Do they have a chimney for this for when it's raining?
250 Celsius isn't low and slow. It is Fahrenheit
Lol...my mistake, I'm Canadian so we use Celsius often here. You're right though, the gauge is in Fahrenheit. I put a correction in the description.
Well done and straight to the point. Thanks
Thank you!
You ever smoke any pig knuckles
No not yet, do they have to be cured first?
Hey quick question why did you cover the stone with Foil I’m gonna use this method I just need to know if I have to cover with foil or if it’s just something you do
I had it covered in the beginning to try keep it clean, but eventually I just used it without foil.
Nice
Do these Char Grillers hold the heat in the Canadian winter???
Hi there! Yes, they do pretty well in the winter. I'm also in Canada. Grill temps are still high, as long as you don't leave the lid open for too long. Where these really shine is on cold WINDY days. My gas grill struggles to maintain grill temps and the flame will blow out when trying to grill on low. The Akorn Jr. is pretty well insulated and is (for the most part) wind proof!
It better be Molson eh. :-)
Love it no talking. Just got one the bring to the cabin, have kamado joe classic in the city and said ya I ain't bringing that up north, did a cook in the city and love it. Put gaskets on both the base and ash tray and she is sealed up nice and tight. Flipped up the back seat of the truck and in she goes.
If you could show your under grill setup, that would be excellent. ie: soaked wood chip addition, diffuser plate, water tray.
Hi there, thanks for the comment! My set up is a simple 11" grill grate I purchased from amazon and then an 8" pizza stone I purchased from a dollar store. No water tray or soaked wood, just a few chips or a chunk of hickory or apple wood added just before you put the meat on. This other video shows what I use: ruclips.net/video/IOfjBpjUAkM/видео.html
@@thecanadiangrill1715 thank you!
I do this often rubbing with correandar and black pepper. Let it cool and slice it thin then reheat to eat. My Pastrami.
Thanks for the video, tried last night perfect!
Hi, I have just bought the Akorn JR and have bought a 9 inch pizza stone as it's 3 times cheaper than an official heat deflector! Also, why do you wrap the grate in foil please?
That's a great idea, thanks!
What’s the point of putting sauce on the bone side ?
So that the sauce is also on the meat between the bones.
Great video! Is that a Case Trader Lock and Case Hobo knife I see?
Hi there and thanks for the comment! The knife in the video is actually a Laguiole folding knife made in France and I bought it about 25-30 years ago at a sporting show here in Canada. I just did a search and they're still producing quality knives! Front page of their website shows a knife similar to the one I have.....forge-de-laguiole.com/en/
Can I use Wood instead of charcoal?
I use nothing but lump hardwood charcoal in it when grilling, which is basically charred wood, so I don't see why not. I've put wood in it to use as an outdoor fireplace, I guess you could let the wood burn down into coals and use it for cooking.
@The Canadian Grill thank you very much for answering! I'm new to all of this. Lump charcoal is wood based?
@@denmarksoul1184 Yes, lump is all natural wood, where as briquettes are usually made of sawdust and some sort of binder (like glue or something)....lol.
That amount of heat in portable package in insane
breakfast of champions
Thank you for the video. We do it a bit different in Texas; but good chicken is good to go.
You're using the pie pan just to catch the juices & it is sitting on your pizza stone (wrapped in foil) that is on top of the 11" grate. Correct?
Yes that's right!
Notice your clip at the bottom is not closed
Looks good and may work. It looks like there is just one burner for the entire unit. If so is the entire burner on for all grilling or is there a control to turn off half of the burner so you can grill indirectly? For example place items on one side (left) of the grill while the burner is on for the other side (right) so you can grill indirectly.
Nicely done!
I have a propane blackstone flat top griddle, and a wood, open top cowboy cooker, but I'm looking into something like this weber due to its size its a pain loading my grills up when I go to the lake or river or beach I want something with great portability.whats the difference in the premium model vs the others?
From what I understand, the premium has a locking lid mechanism, but no bottom vent control. I would rather have top and bottom vents for the heat control. The lack of locking lid can always be accomplished with a simple bungie cord. Hope this helps!
@@thecanadiangrill1715 thanks shure helps
Thanks mate. Just wonder why my Akorn jr temp keeps reducing after adjusting 2 valves at the positions suggested.
Not sure...are you using lump charcoal? (a.k.a. hardwood charcoal as opposed to briquettes?) Briquettes tend to burn hotter but require more air flow to generate the heat. Lump is best for low and slow.
@@thecanadiangrill1715 yes hardwood lump charcoal. Should i open above or below for more air?
I got 2 of em sold my red one an got a gray one love these grills Best Buy ever but not cheap but you get what you pay for.
I am a complete newb to bbq, got one of these akorn jr's in the uk about 3 years ago, used it about 3 times...no prior experience of bbq and tbh I am not really into being an amazing bbq cook either, just want to throw some meat on it on a sunny day and enjoy some food. I really want to say though, I am over the moon with this kamado, you can get this to sit at 100c all day long. Lie i say, I have no clue generally and certainly not with any comparison to other grills but other than size, there is nothing that would make me want to buy another kamado. Temp control has been a revelation to me...just open the bottom temp about 0.5 and same again with top and it will hold a really low temp for as long as there is fuel to burn...really impressed with mine...
Looks awesome, I made the same mistake today, grilled some chicken off set. Chicken had some SPG and Yardbird rub. I went over the top with the Jack Daniels smoking chips, and although great flavour the taste was intensely smoky. Got to try the beef. Great videos 🏴👍
Thank you!
Perfect 🏴👍
Need more people so spread this video more
Awesome looking chicken, 🏴, heat deflector works a treat, going to laser cut one in work when the boss isn’t about.
Awesome
Was wondering when you was going to add the Molson, works with everything.🏴
I think you mean deg in f not c
Yeah, he keeps printing his text as “C”, but running a smoker at 250 C is the equivalent of 482 F, which would make his brisket a burnt hockey puck in short order.
Hey! Just ordered one from Amazon. I’m wondering why lump charcoal only? TnNk you!
Some might argue on this one.....but lump is all natural, produces more smoke flavor, and produces less ash which leads to air flow problems while cooking, as opposed to briquettes which are usually made from compressed sawdust.
@@thecanadiangrill1715 ok cool! Appreciate you!
Thanks!! This was great I was struggling with this one lol attempting first brisket tomorrow!!
Thanks for the comment! Hope it turns out great!
How’d it turn out lol 3 years later technology has us asking about a brisket you cooked back in Covid times. Crazy times we live in… but yeah how that go😂
@@frygottobe652 lol all Good appreciate you asking! The first one I burnt to a hockey puck size 😂 set it and forget it was a bad idea. I have played with it a bit but am still not at good on this one as I am the homemade one in a 55 gallon drum 🤦♂️.
so tender it will not cut good job
I made the mistake of using a styrofoam plate. Don't. They melt.
OMG dude! Lol...definitely do NOT use Styrofoam....for ANYTHING! Haha...
internet is divided between soak or no soak of smoking wood... The smaller chips that I purchased says soak by the manufactorer themselves. End of the day i think it's matter of what you prefer. Cheers!
I have my Akorn Jr. shipped to the Philippines and am loving it! It's funny because I have the exact same method for my deflector as you. I think my grill i use to set the deflector is 10.5 inches, but it fits fine. However, instead of a pizza stone. I am using a deflector made out of terracotta. My grill was super cheap at like $1.20 and the deflector cost me about $2.00. If I bought and shipped char-grillers deflector. it would cost me like $60 with shipping, no way I'm doing that. The only thing I don't like about the Akorn is they should just provide the deflector plate, it's needed if you buy this grill.
Did you use any wood chunks and what kind.
I believe I used a very small amount of Applewood chips for this. If you use too much wood, the meat will taste overly 'Smoked'.
Mate! Your out there in the rain. That’s dedication 👍🏾
Bought one of these tiny acorns in the autumn of 2019 and then the 'pandemic' happened. Hoping to get it going soon.❤
Could’ve cut one open man
lol...guess I could have done
Thanks for this review. I’m actually looking now at Buying a small gas grill with a stand. This looks better and more economical than some of the weber Q grills. There was a charbroil infra red patio bistro grill that I am interested in- , my brother bought that secondhand and unfortunately I can’t find a new one and they only sell those kinds of models in electric which I didn’t want to get. This grill though looks good. Thanks for your comments were cleaning it also
Those ribs look awesome, def going to try that out on my char griller. Great videos 🏴
Looks awesome, going to try that on my char griller, great video’s.
Why not low and slow in the oven?
Just experimenting here....the akorn jr. works like an oven. :)
