Why people don't grill more in fall and winter is beyond me. So nice cooking outdoors in this weather

[@id10t98]

I use the stove inside maybe four times a year. I go through a lot of propane and smoking chips!

[@wickedcabinboy]

@ZoeKatherineProject - Grilling in the fall is great. I don't grill in the winter because I don't like being cold. That simple.

[@donandersonanderson1595]

I LOVE grilling in the winter with a whiskey over ice in hand! Stubbed out a natural gas line when I built my house so I don't have to mess with propane...

[@canaisyoung3601]

I know, right? Considering the excess heat in the summer, grilling in fall and winter just seems more appropriate. Then again, there are places where it gets cold and wet, so maybe grilling is best left to the nice weather months. Still, a Thanksgiving or Christmas grill/BBQ party sounds like the best idea ever.

[@wickedcabinboy]

@@canaisyoung3601 - We just had an early thanksgiving grilling party last weekend. It was great.

I love when you guys grill/cook. That elk and bison looks so delicious! And that squash! I'm not a squash person, but yall changed me. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving! ❤

[@brianmoody2549]

The cuts looked great,,after you cooked them you could see that textures and flavor of being cooked so well

[@toucheturtle3840]

Just found your channel. I practiced the noble art in my village butchers nearly 3 decades ago. Brings back many happy memories. Sadly, the shop & slaughterhouse were sold off for development. The bandsaw footage always makes me cringe. When one of those blades snaps it makes hell of a bang! It was hard work at times, but I’m glad I had 10 years at it. A real education.👍🏻

I work at Central Market down here in Texas, we have Bison and Elk, and other exotic meats! But the Elk is very pricey but worth every cent! It's good to spend money on quality!

[@akdonlh9924]

Mmmmmm that looks so delicious

[@stealtheli]

Fantastic! I no longer hunt. So I have not had Elk in a long time. I miss the taste. I am giving Bearded butchers spices and BBQ sauce out for Christmas. Turning my family on too Black and Brock. My favorites. Then Zesty for veggies.

[@user-ch7mn1kj4b]

Richness tenderness, sweet tender beefiness elevated pure unspoiled protein-hence the exotic label. Most Americans are never going to experience the beauty of these animals in the wilderness. I grew up in the Rocky Mountains about 50 miles as the crow flies from the Teton peaks and boy do I miss it.

Of all the game I’ve had whether wild or farm raised, bison remains the my personal favorite.

Bison, elk, antelope, deer in that order for me.

[@larryellis194]

Damn, those looked absolutely delicious! Don’t know who’s idea it was to grill some squash, but kudos to the one that did. That is the best looking squash I have ever seen on a grill, that’s 💯💯‼️

[@id10t98]

If I fire up my grill there is always some zucchini, yellow squash or bacon wrapped asparagus to go on too lol

[@willd639]

I seriously have to stop watching your vids on an empty stomach. Now I’m just mad that I don’t have any bison or elk……. Great episode though, as always.

[@jonathanhuman7333]

I’ve wondered what the flavor of both Elk and Bison would taste like if each were raised using the same process as Wagyu? Would the Bison taste more similar to regular Wagyu? Definitely love the channel

Hi Im Ernest, new subscriber!

[@mr.c.6241]

Great video and good luck on your elk hunt. I am also a hunter and filled my elk tag this year and i always process my own game and i have some incredible steaks, roast and burger. For me elk is by far the best meat i have ever had. I am from the pacific northwest and we have both elk species here with the Roosevelt elk on the west range and Rocky Mountain elk on the east range. Both are excellent but they do have a slightly different flavor and i believe this is due to the vastly different food sources. Maybe you can do a 42 day dry age elk vs bison challenge. That would be very interesting.

I've had Bison and Elk and they are both really good but I'm with you guys you can't beat a good Bison Steak

[@shawnlewis1918]

I know you boys want to sell your seasoning but I guess I'm a meat connoisseur because I can appreciate a good cut of meat with just the basics of salt, pepper and garlic powder....multiple seasonings actually take away from my pleasure of the meat product, to me less is more! But great video and the cuts were cooked to perfection!!!

[@jamescrisafulli2140]

Just wanted to let you know that my wife made a big pot of Vegetable beef barley soup. It didn't have enough spice for me so I added your Hot seasoning. It was perfect. Not just for meat!!

[@lizsurbanroost3624]

Had a bison burger for lunch today, so good. I wish it wasn't so expensive and harder to come by, I have never seen a bison steak in the store either.

[@chadhoward07]

one thing i’ve found that helps when cooking thick steaks is get a knife that’s about the with of you pinky finger and cut 2 or 3 tiny holes from top to bottom, just push it in, & then out the steak cooks a little faster while not getting heavily charred. then with the porterhouse do the same thing as above, but also cut 3 small slits along the strip side against the bone so the heat from the grill can get to that part, & then the same for the fillet side but 2 slits. i also cook mine on the top rack with high heat to kinda get the rotisserie chicken idea where the steak cooks but doesn’t char, then when my steaks are medium rare just before medium i put them on the bottom to sear them while they come up to medium well. i like medium well only because i want a really hot steak. steak, & baked potatoes are the only food i enjoy hot everything else i wait til it gets to room temp before digging in🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
