Teflon Tuesday: Hereford Brisket and Tator Tots at MW March 2023

[@reneeallen3569]

March 5th is my birthday. That looked yummy! I don’t think I’ve seen that big of a herd before. Nice!

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

Happy Birthday! It is the same herd that is in my videos, they just were nice enough to group together for one shot. I actually have about three times more elk video for that day, but figured the average viewer was going to be taxed enough with the amount I added.

Dang Fernbark. That looks great. Cool nature break. Nice to have a day of every now and then. Have a great day!!

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

Thanks. I was pretty darn good. I hope I can find some more that isn't about to expire.

I usually use a 3/1 with a heaping spoonful of instant coffee. That supper looked pretty good. We get Hereford corned beef up here, but I will look for the brisket. Thank you for inviting us over, Fernbark. Stay safe and stay warm

[@vipergtsmre]

Ha, I do the same

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

3/1 is generally way too sweet. I really like the 2/1. We get the corned beef here, but canned in tin, not a pouch like is available in Canada.

[@johnwilliams7102]

I have a few packs of that same Herford beef - now you gave me the inspiration to try it. We have had non-stop rain here since November- much needed after years of drought... makes me feel like I’m back in Seattle. I need to toughen up and get outdoors more.

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

If you go to the Hereford website, they have a bunch of really easy and good looking recipes. It has been raining here too, but not as bad as other places. 53 and sunny as I look out the window now. Perfect!

[@johnwilliams7102]

Thanks - I check it out.

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

😊looks interesting. Thanks, I’ll have to look for that Brisket 😊

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

It was good. The hard part is finding it, and then when you do find it, how old is it?

[@jcsopinion3899]

As a northerner stuck in the swamp, I’m extremely jealous of your getaway location. Tiger lilies are a once and short lived experience every spring. Kinda like seeing the robins , it’s a sign that says summer is coming. As northerners we value those few summer months & struggle over those partly cloudy with a light breeze under 84 degree day😂 Such a cool hangout & release from the real world bullshit. Reminds me of fly fishing on the pier Marquette. Godspeed & safe travels my friend. 👍

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

My mom thought she heard a robin but didn't see it. Will be spring soon enough.

Hi JC!

@@tracyphillips3325 sup good fella . How’s the wife and grandkids doing? Hopefully all is well on your end. It’s just another day here and nothing exciting lol.

[@jcsopinion3899]

@@YourOldPalFernbark that’s good news, us northerners value our seasons. Had a tree down here and had to remove it due to insurance policy. But it produced some kind of berry & robins would gang bang it within 24 hours. Quite the spectacle to see 500 plus birds pillage it’s fruit.

Looks good

Thanks Dave. It was actually much better than it looked.

[@MultiMagnum62]

I have never seen this Brother, but it looks good!! Lovely scenery abounds. Your spot is popular with elk it would seem. Cool. Nice style on flipping your food. The meal looks excellent. Glad you had A good time and stayed safe. Peace, John.

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

It was good. I plan to get some more!

[@TheKiloG69]

Enjoyed watching the show. Cooking like that is such a good time ppl don't know what there missing. Add a beverage of choice life is good.😊

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

Thanks! I believe I might have had beverages of choice. It was a good time.

[@EatsTreatsMREs]

I cant believe you can get brisket in retort pouches thats awesome! May have to try left over brisket with tater tots myself now. Great video.

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

Hereford has a bunch of cool stuff. In Canada, you can get the corned beef in a pouch, but we can't in the US. We can get the meatballs, taco meat, and beef and gravy.

Ice cold butter, yeah. If I flipped my food like that, I would be eating that stick, because all the contents of the skillet would be in the Solo Stove. I ordered the red package, after your visit with Steve. It is good coffee. Might try the 2 in 1 when I reorder. It is the best brisket and tot video, I've seen all year.

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

Flipping can be tricky at first but pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

That meat could be anything... scetch. Morningwood is looking good Brother. Those elk were awesome! #keepitburning

Well, regardless of the donor animal, it was really good and I plan to get some more.

[@CarolinaChrisOutdoors]

I have some of that Hereford but haven’t tried it yet. Yours looks like it turned out pretty good. I guess it’s best to sleep at Morningwood after too many “Diet Pepsi” beverages, huh? 🥃😂 Better safe than sorry! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. When 30 or 40 horse-sized animals stroll through camp I imagine the “clean up” can get tough!!!!!! 😂🤣😂

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

You should see them in real life. Horses wish they were as big. Well the bulls are huge, the cows aren't that gigantic. You should try that diet Pepsi. Pretty good by the campfire 🔥.😉

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

It was sunny up there last Friday and Saturday, but I decided to go on Monday when it was raining. No video.

[@davesdiversions8078]

As I was think about how good the left-overs would have been the next day, a thought occurred to me. Put the left-over in the Hot Logic to keep warm over-night and breakfast is ready to serve when you're ready to eat.

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

I will have to look into that. The hot logic heats up to 165, which is hot enough to cause the dish to dehydrate without a pretty tight lid. It will take some practice

[@MarkKratzMC]

For canned or retort canned I think Herefords meats are pretty good. Have you ever tried using rust converter on your stove. You just brush it on and when it dries, it turns black. No prep necessary and the rust is formed into a protective layer. I use it for my metal targets. If you wish you can paint over it.

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

I have used rust converter. Not sure I agree with the "no prep necessary". It depends on the amount of rust you have on the item, and the items use will dictate how much you need to prep. For targets, I would say you are correct. Maybe I will get some and do half the stove with converter and half paint. I also can't remember if there are any temperature restrictions on the converter.

[@MarkKratzMC]

@@YourOldPalFernbark I don’t know about temperature restrictions maybe somebody on KZbin has addressed it. I use it with no problem on my trailers which sit outside with no prep. That’s one of the reasons I asked you about it. Unless there’s excessive scaling. My background is in metallurgy, corrosion control, welding and heat treating. Although this type of product was not available during that time in my career. Part of the attractiveness of the product was to be able to go over the existing corrosion, which converted it into an antioxidant.

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

@@MarkKratzMC I was referring temp wise to the temps a stove would bring. I saw a Rustoleum product that was similar to what you described, but it was only good up to about 250 degrees F. Regardless, you are obviously much more knowledgeable than I, so I shall defer to your experience in metallurgy, corrosion control, welding, and heat treating. I work in grocery stores. What the heck do I know about anything?

[@MarkKratzMC]

Oh ok. I don’t know about the temp but I do know rust converter doesn’t need prep. I was thinking you can use high temperature paint after treatment. Or if they make a high temp converter.

[@BURNWOODBUSHCRAFT]

All.those white Elk arses was tripping me out haha. Interesting looking dish looked tasty! It's cool that you camped overnight in the van.

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

That herd is here a lot. Not always that bunched up though. Probably won't be planting a garden there any time soon, lol.

[@davesdiversions8078]

"Food Channel BS", LOL. Officially the best and only Hereford Beef Brisket video I've seen this week. I imagine the left-over reheated great the next morning. Now I'm craving Brisket and Tator Tots. Cooking with Teflon over a fire, I see you like to live dangerously. Take care.

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

It was just as good the next day. It was even good cold. Commencing a search for more brisket, possibly with more than one month left on the BBD.

Hey Fernbark.

Morning Tracy!

[@vipergtsmre]

Damn, hope u didn't get charged for the 10 pack. Have a great Spring at MW!

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

They charged for a ten pack. The item is non returnable too. My last few food item orders from Amazon have been shorted, or dented. The coffee in the vid was an open box item that was taped shut and had been returned by someone on the east coast. I am pretty much done ordering from that company. I did finally get my money back for the brisket, but it was a huge hassle. The food only had one month left on the best by date, but it was produced a couple years ago, so it was probably best they didn't send ten.

[@vipergtsmre]

@Your Old Pal Fernbark I did a short stint working for Amazon when I was between corporate jobs. They make it damn near impossible to make a mistake, so I wonder what happened

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

I think it was sold by them but not shipped by them.

[@DCOutdoors]

Hi Fernbark, nice to see all the elk. I hope you were refunded for the nine packs of meat that you didn't get. The brisket definitely didn't look too great, but it seemed to work well when you put it all together . A hearty camp meal. Especially if you were to sub the tots for canned or dehydrated potatoes. Doesn't look THAT disgusting.

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

After a long time of hunting the correct path thru their website, I did get refunded. I would rather have had nine more pouches of meat. The one pouch I did receive only had one month left before it expired, so maybe it was best to not have the full ten bags.
