    Yeah someone posted an article a while back about why you shouldn't do beer can chicken. No flavor from the beer and uneven cooking were some of the points.
    Since that article I have only smoked chicken spatchcock style, and I'll honestly never go back to beer can.

    I just use one of those plastic deck boxes from Home Depot that doubles as a bench. Was about $90 and was originally intended for seat cushions, but I've taken ownership of it. Works great

    What are some of the durability enhancements that the bge has compared to a kamado or primo?
    I'm asking because I've decided that as soon as my current smoker shits the bed, I'm 100% going ceramic.

    There isn't. The gaskets on the kj's are better but that's not a hard fix when you need a new one in the bge

    Yeah, I normally cook 2 chickens at once (spoilered below) and for space reasons I spatchcock one and put the other on a beer can rack w/o a beer. I have found that the skin of the chicken smoked vertically turns out better than the spatchcock'd chicken.

    I was talking in reference to an Akorn and a fully ceramic grill. I used bge instead of primo/kj because that's what his neighbor had

    All three of those ceramics are going to be extremely durable with great warranties

    While we're at it with the slaw recipes, I had a habanero lime variant too that I use on fish/shrimp tacos. Posting it on TMB was my way of writing it down and now its lost, so this is it from the best of my memory (if someone saved the original feel free to post that, but this is one I typically free-styled anyway):

    1 medium head red cabbage, cored and sliced
    3-4 medium carrots shredded in the food processor (or 2-3 cups of bagged shredded carrot)

    Set aside in a bowl. Then:

    2 habanero peppers, seeded and diced
    1 clove garlic diced
    pinch of salt

    Work the above ingredients into a paste on your cutting board using the side of your knife (or using a mortar and pestle)

    In a separate, smaller bowl, combine the following:
    1 cup mayo (Duke's)
    Habanero garlic paste (I suppose you could sub the habanero paste out for some good, pure habanero sauce like Yellowbird or Secret Aardvark in a pinch)
    1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
    1 lime, juiced
    1 bunch chopped cilantro
    1/2 tbsp celery seed
    1/4 tbsp black pepper
    1/8 tsp salt (if needed)

    Whisk dressing to combine and dress the slaw with the the dressing. Refrigerate at least a few hours before serving.

    Here are a couple recipes I had saved that haven't been posted yet:

    Roasted Pepper Red Potato Salad:

    1. Cut 2 lbs of red potatoes in bite size pieces. Boil until desired doneness
    2. Broil 1 jalapeño and 2 bell peppers (I used orange and red. Fuck green) until the outside starts to char
    3. Put the peppers in a food processor with 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 tbsp light mayo, 2 tbsp creamy Dijon mustard, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp dried dill, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 2 tsp sherry, 1 tsp salt. Blend until creamy consistency.
    4. Cut up stalk of celery and add to potatoes.
    5. Chip of half Vidalia onion and sautée in butter until lightly browned.
    6. Add onion to celery and potatoes.
    7. Pour the dressing over the potatoes until desired cover achieved.
    8. Garnish with green onion
    9. Chill in fridge for an afternoon

    THE DREAM LOAF:

    ½ stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
    1¼ cups finely chopped onions
    1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
    ¼ cup sliced green onion
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    2 eggs, beaten
    a cup canned beef broth
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1 pound ground beef
    ½ pound ground pork
    ½ pound ground veal
    4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, grated (about 1 cup)
    ¾ cup saltine cracker crumbs
    ½ cup ketchup
    3 tablespoons Picka-Peppa sauce (optional)
    5 slices thick-cut bacon, halved crosswise

    1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. When it foams, add the onions, bell pepper, green onion and garlic. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring often, for another 4 or 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are lightly browned. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.
    2. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees.
    3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce and soy sauce until well-blended.
    4. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, pork and veal with the onion mixture, the egg mixture, cheese, and cracker crumbs. Mix lightly but thoroughly.
    5. Transfer the meat mixture to a shallow baking dish and shape it into a loaf about 3 inches thick; smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Mix the ketchup and Picka-Peppa sauce (if you’re using it) and spread evenly over the loaf. Arrange the bacon strips atop the ketchup sauce, overlapping them slightly if necessary.

    Tri tip:

    Rub as you would a steak. 50/50 salt and pepper works well. Smoke at 275 until it hits 118. Normally takes 45 minutes to an hour. Take off heat and bring your cooker up to searing temps. Sear each side for roughly 2 minutes. If you want fancy grill marks, rotate 45 degrees after 1 minute on each side. After 2 minutes at high temps, pull and check temp. You're looking for 122-ish. Anywhere 122-127 is fine. Pull and tent to rest. Temp will rise a little during rest. After rest, cut against the gain and enjoy.

    yall need to get evernote or something - heres a list of recipes ive collected from this and a couple other forums

    charro beans

    Soak 1-2 lbs (2 lbs is a lot of beans) of beans overnight in a huge pot covered with 2-3 inches of water as they will absorb it.

    This next part is the most important, after this you can virtually do anything you want and they will turn out ok......

    The next morning or after about 8 hrs. of soaking, drain the beans in a collander and put back in cook pot and cover with water. Turn the burner on high and set a timer for 30 mins. When the timer goes off they should be just simmering and starting to boil.

    Drain them again in a collander. This gets rid of the really gassy part of the liquid and makes them cook at the next stage perfectly.

    Then I usually sweat lots of chopped onion and garlic in olive oil (in the cooking pot). Then I add my spices, like cumin (1 tsp), chili powder (1tbsp), garlic powder (1 tbsp), paprika (1 tsp) and black pepper (1tbsp).

    Let that mixture cook a couple of minutes to bring out the oils in the spices.

    Then you can add a can of chopped tomatoes.

    Then add back the beans and cover with chicken stock and water (about 1/2 and 1/2).

    Add a chunk of salt pork, or bunch of bacon or the best is leftover ham bone from honey ham.

    Bring to boil on high then turn down to low to simmer for 3 hours.

    Taste and salt accordingly. *Always use coarse Kosher salt for cooking. Makes all the difference in the world. It is in the baking isle at HEB.

    chipotle peach bbq sauce

    16 oz can peaches in water, not syrup
    2 cups ketchup
    1 cup apple cider vinegar
    1 cup water
    3 chipotle chiles (i used the canned ones in adobo sauce) minced
    1-2 cloves garlic, minced
    tablespoon each of chile powder, pepper, salt
    2 teaspoons oregano
    3 tablespoons of brown sugar

    creole jambalaya

    (serves 8-10)

    2lbs raw shrimp, peeled
    2 cups raw rice
    1lb andouille sausage
    1/2lb cooked chicken, diced
    1/2lb tasso ham, diced
    1/2 stick butter
    4 tbsp flour
    2 16oz cans beef broth OR 3 cups bouillon
    4 cloves of garlic, minced
    3 medium white onions, finely chopped
    6 scallions (with green leaves), chopped
    4 creole tomatoes, peeled and chopped OR 16oz can of tomatoes, drained and chopped
    1 green bell pepper, chopped
    1 bay leaf
    1/2 tsp thyme leaves
    1/8 tsp ground cumin
    1/8 tsp ground cloves
    1/8 tsp ground allspice
    1/4 tsp cayenne (or more)
    salt and cracked pepper to taste

    Melt butter in pot, cooking sausage and ham until lightly browned and stir in the flour. Add onions, scallions, bell pepper, and garlic, cooking until the vegetables are soft and translucent. Stir in chopped tomatoes and their juice, then adding bay leaf, thyme, cumin, cloves, allspice, cayenne, and black pepper. Add beef broth and mix well. Add raw shrimp and chicken, then stir in the raw rice. Season with salt, approximately a tbsp to start. The liquid in the pot should just cover the contents. Add more broth or bouillon only if necessary. Bring the pot to a boil, then immediately cut the heat very low, covering contents until the rice is done (jambalaya should be damp, not soupy.) Anybody who doesn't have a really good appetite should not be allowed to eat jambalaya (yes, this is the last line of the recipe in the book [​IMG])

    green chile salsa

    I almost forgot this recipe for salsa:

    1/2 lb fresh tomatillo, roasted husked and chopped
    11/2 lb hatch green chili, roasted, seeded and chopped (I leave a couple of them whole to chop into the blended salsa)
    If you use the mild or medium Hatch peppers you might want to add serrano or jalapeno for heat
    3 garlic cloves, chopped
    1 medium onion, diced
    2 quarts water
    1 tablespoon salt (to taste)
    3 tablespoons lime juice, fresh squeezed

    Put all ingredients, except salt and lime juice, in a large kettle and bring to a light boil
    Cook for 30 minutes.
    Strain liquid into a large bowl.
    Place solid ingredients in a blender (I never blend mine smooth)
    Add 1/2 of the strained liquid (about 3 cups) and blend to desired consistency.
    You may have to do this in batches.
    Add the lime juice and salt and blend to taste.

    Again roasting is the key for me. I have even roasted the garlic and onion before boiling. Good stuff.

    green chile stew

    1 lb. ground chuck
    1 lb. ground pork
    1 lb. boneless sirloin, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
    1 stick plus 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
    1 large onion, chopped
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    1 1/2 tbsp. Tabasco
    2 1/2 tsp. dried oregano, crumbled
    1 1/2 tbsp. ground cumin
    1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
    2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
    6 tbsp. all purpose flour
    1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
    8 cups chicken broth
    3/4 cup Mexican beer (not dark)
    4 lbs. poblano peppers, roasted and chopped
    2 small tomatoes, peeled seeded and chopped
    In a skillet brown the ground beef over moderately high heat and transfer it with a slotted spoon to a kettle.
    In the skillet brown the pork and the sirloin separately, transferring them as they are browned with the slotted spoon to the kettle, and discard the fat remaining in the skillet.
    To the skillet add 3/4 stick of the butter and in it cook the onion, garlic and cilantro over moderately low heat until the onion is softened. Add the Tabasco, oregano, cumin, parsley, black pepper, 3 tbsp. of the flour and salt and cook the mixture, stirring for 3 minutes. Add this mixture to the kettle with the broth, beer, the poblano peppers and the tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a boil, then simmer it, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours.
    Knead together the remaining 3 tbsp. butter and the remaining 3 tbsp. flour to make a beurre manie or roux, add the beurre manie in bits to the kettle, stirring and simmer the chili for 5 minutes. Serves 8.
    Best when reheated!! I cannot stress this enough. Stew will taste 10x better if you refrigerate over night and eat the next day.
    Top with some cheddar cheese and sour cream and you've got one hell of a dish.

    navajo fry bread

    Frybread Recipe

    Ingredients:

    • 4 cups Blue Bird flour or King Arthur Flour

    • 4.5 tsp. Clabber Girl Double Acting Baking Powder

    • 1 tsp. salt

    • 2 cups mildly warm milk
    Vegetable oil for frying

    Directions:

    Mix and knead dough in a bowl with hand until it's not sticky. Dough should be soft and easy to handle. Cover with a towel and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Heat a pan with oil over medium-high heat. You may need to lower your heat a bit as different pans and burners heat differently. Adjust as you go. Hand stretch and pat until it stretches out to about 8". Carefully place dough into the pan away from you. If you place it towards you and let it drop, hot oil can spray you in the face. Keep a fork nearby. Frybread dough will bubble. When it reaches its peak, pop it. You usually only need to do this once. Flip it with golden brown on bottom. Fry until golden brown on the other. Both sides of the dough will look considerably different, but this is normal. Sprinkle a bit of salt on them. Let rest vertical to drain them.

    smoked pork tamales

    Filling:
    4 cups finely shredded pork shoulder


    Red Chili Sauce


    2 1/2 oz Dried Ancho Chiles

    3 cups Hot Water

    1 Large Can Tomato Sauce

    2 cloves Garlic

    1/4 cup Sour Cream

    1 1/2 tsp Salt

    Stem & seed the chiles, then toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat
    Place in a bowl and cover with 3 cups very hot water
    Soak for 20 minutes
    Puree re-hydrated peppers with 1 1/2 cups of the soaking liquid, tomato sauce & minced garlic
    Add sour cream and adjust salt to taste

    *This makes 3 cups of sauce, which is more than you need. Add this sauce to the pork until it is moist, but not too wet. Freeze the extra sauce for up to a year or use it to make enchiladas.

    Batter:
    1 ¼ cups (10 oz) Rendered Lard
    2 lbs Pork Fat


    Ask your butcher to save scraps trimmed from roasts and chops. Don’t use salt pork or bacon fat, as the flavors are too strong.
    Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
    Cut fat into 1 inch cubes and spread it out in a deep baking dish
    Place fat in oven and stir every once in a while until the fat renders into a clear liquid (about 2 hours).
    Let lard cool to lukewarm and strain.

    1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
    2 tsp salt
    4 cups (2 lbs) fresh, coarse ground masa for tamales
    *or* 3 ½ cups dried masa harina mixed with 2 ¼ cups hot water
    1 ½ cup chicken broth


    Beat Lard, baking powder, and salt with an electric mixer on medium-high until light in texture (1 minute)
    Continue beating as you add masa (fresh or reconstituted) in three additions.
    Reduce speed to medium-low and add broth. Continue beating another minute or so, until a ½ tsp dollop of the batter floats in a cup of cold water (if it floats, the tamales will be tender and light).
    Beat in enough of the remaining broth to give the mixture the consistency of cake batter (it should hold its shape in a spoon).
    Taste and add extra salt if you think it needs it.
    You can make this ahead of time, refrigerate for several days, then re-beat with a little broth or water to bring the batter to the soft consistency it had before.


    Corn Husks:
    8 oz package Dried Corn Husks


    soak in hot water for 3-5 hours until pliable
    Choose 24 of the largest and most pliable husks and pat dry, then wrap in a damp dish cloth.


    Making Tamales:


    Lay out one of your chosen corn husks with the tapered end towards you
    Spread ¼ cup batter into about a 4 inch SQUARE in the middle of your husk. Leave at least a 1 ½ inch border at the tapered end.
    Spoon ⅛ cup (2 Tbsp) filling down the center of the batter.
    Pick up the 2 long sides of the corn husk and bring them together (this will cause the batter to surround the filling).
    Roll the excess corn husk around the tamal and fold the 1 ½ inch tapered portion over to close the end, leaving the top open.
    Once you’ve made 6 tamales, stack them together and tie them loosely with a string.


    Steaming Tamales:


    Pour an inch or so of water in a steamer and heat to boiling
    Stand your tamales on their folded ends in the steamer
    Don’t pack the steamer too tightly, because they need room to expand
    Steam at a constant medium heat for 1 ¼ hours, watching to make sure the water doesn’t evaporate. Add more water as needed.
    Tamales are done when husks pull away from the masa easily.
    For the best textured tamales, let them cool completely and re-steam for 15 minutes before serving. However, we usually make these with friends and are a couple beers in and pretty hungry by this point. They are delicious either way.

    Enjoy!

    2 tbs of red pepper flakes

    Let them marinade for 2 hours


    jerk chicken

    ½ cup canola oil
    ½ cup lime juice
    4 tbsp. dark brown sugar
    2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
    2 tbsp. dried thyme
    2 tbsp. soy sauce

    8 cloves garlic
    8 scotch bonnet chiles, stemmed
    8 scallions, roughly chopped
    2 shallots, roughly chopped
    1 1" piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    8 whole skin-on, bone-in chicken legs and thighs

    1. Combine the oil, lime juice, sugar, vinegar, thyme, soy sauce, allspice, garlic, chiles, scallions, shallots, ginger, and salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Place chicken in a 9" x 13" baking dish and pour marinade over it; massage marinade into chicken, making sure to push it under the skin. Cover chicken with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

    2. Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place chicken on grill over direct heat and cook, turning occasionally, until it begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to indirect heat, or reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes. To serve, transfer chicken to a plate.
