***BBQ Redux Redux thread - All outdoor cooking except whole hog***

I don't do it tp prevent it drying out. It adds flavor to an otherwise large cut of meat with not a lot of flavor.

 

The good news is that I secured some nice beef ribs to smoke tomorrow. Bad news is shitty weather tomorrow. I can do cold and rainy but high winds really really fuck with my tent game.

 

have a 12lb butt and a 12lb brisket on. might take a picture when it gets light out and is also not so damn cold.

 

I put a butt on at 1:45 this morning, it's looking pretty good for my first simi overnight smoke

 

Putting mine on now. Lehh go

 

Wings in the marinade, will be firing up the pit in a few
going simple for the SB, sausage from Longhorn Meats, wings, smoked onions and veggies for that onion dip from earlier ITT and some salsa
may do a loaf of bread in the dutch oven, but aint gotten motivated to get it started this morning yet

SB is finger food/snack all day round here



and I am still LOL'n at $10/lb for brisket
thats more than prime wagyu

 

cooking up some beer butt chicken today

also excited that I finally got my pit gloves and some claw shredders for pork

made some great butt last week on the BGE

 

up to 115 internal

got some boiled peanuts in the crockpot and iced down the cooler

time to open a beer

 

Id suggest taking tge crockpot out of the ice and putting the beer in there

 

You've got to tell him this shit earlier, don't you know swim needs step by step directions

 

i love it when a plan comes together. just flipped 'em over at the stall and gonna power through until shortly before football.

 

Great advice on seasoning the Akorn, appreciated.

Went 4 hours with the last half hour bumped up to 500. Little bit further than I wanted, but the gasket seems to be working well.

Got two spare ribs and burgers smoking now. Holding at 250 beautifully. Love this so much more than the water smoker I've been rocking for years.

 

Baby backs. Temp and time?

 

I go 225-250 and usually takes ~4 hours, give or take. Start checking around 3.5 to see how they are doing.

 

And so the experiment begins

 

Curious, why are you cooking on the outer edge of the grate?

 

3 hours in on a 6 hour spare rib smoke. Using hickory for the first time.

 

Just saving room for some wings later.

 

Re-reading thread and handing out appropriate likes that I missed 1st time through.

If I didn't like your post, it was either terrible or in the middle of a 3 page long debate on
A. Charcoal
B. Best smoker
C. Lighting method
D. Something equally as gay as A - C

 

pro-tip, slap it with just the tip and if it imprints it is done. if it recoils and thumps your belly, keep smoking.

 

been at 152ish for an hour...

got 3+ hours of cook time left before game but damn if im not itchin to wrap already

does flipping the butt help the stall?

 

I'd leave it alone and keep the top closed IMHO

 

I flip the butt because the earthward side never gets the bark settled as well when I leave it one direction the whole time. I have no clue on helping the stall though.

 

Close the dome vent?

 

just half way through or what?

 

Here I go talking about how I don't really like butts and the one I cooked yesterday was one of the best things I've cooked on the egg.

Brunswick stew in the pot, pulled pork stuffed jalepeno's in the fridge waiting on the 80 wings that are currently on the egg to finish.

 

Nooo. Meant main lid. Not the vent

 

If you lookin', you ain't cookin'.

 

until i patent this clear ceramic

 

Shark Tank, now. I want one.

 

Just let it cook. If you're looking, it ain't cooking. Go grab a beer instead.

 

Damn you fish

 

after re-reading the thread, 1 thing is very apparent. Thread needs more Zack Zedalis . Did that bastard get put in an old folk's home without internet access or what?

 

losing his motor skills, posting is hard

 

i hope my family has enough compassion for me to help me end it all when I start to lose my faculties. it's a sad thing really.

 

his memory is gone. he asked me to get him some beers and said he'd be by this week to hang out and pick them up and then he just forgot about me

 

vertical chicken done



brown sugar based rub along with a mix of other rubs including some 4 rivers stuff...in the can, I used a blue moon gingerbread spiced ale mixed with grape juice...hickory and maple chips, slow cooked a bit to get more smoke flavor, juicy as hell at the end...threw on some biscuits and corn on the cob to go with it

 

Just pulled the test pieces of goose off. In a shocking turn of events its really fucking good. Tastes almost like a tender jerky.

Wings just went on.

 

For the second year in a row my group of friends has rented out the upstairs of a bar to watch the Super Bowl. Last year was fun, but the number of females sitting in prime football game viewing spots and squawking about non Super Bowl things was approaching critical mass. Just found out we are expecting twice as many people this year, at least 70.

Looks like I may be bailing first quarter and having an excuse to BBQ something after all. Second half power smoked chicken thighs sound nice.

 

I loathe large super bowl parties

 

R u drunk already

 

i am both, nice too meet you

 

hi both, i'm ark

 

still at 155. sigh

 

I got stuck in Clt an extra night & was on the road at 5:30AM on Thurs back to Jax. I'm gonna be there soon doh
