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

It’s a NC chain but I go to Alpaca Chicken a couple times a month. It’s just crazy consistent charcoal rotisserie Peruvian chicken with simple sides like yuca fries, black beans and rice, slaw, and green beans. They have other dishes they make with the chicken but I always just get the 1/2 chicken and sides and take some home. So good.

Cut the ends off, deseeded, and stuffed. Grilled whole with foil skewered to the opened end to prevent leakage. Then cut in half. Yes, they come out looking like a pie wedge when done as such.

 

How long do you think I can keep these pork bellies wrapped in towels before they start degrading? They finished about 2.5 hours earlier than planned.

 

Put em in a cooler

 

Yeah they’re wrapped in towels in a cooler now, just wanted to make sure they’ll last 2.5 hours in there.

 

Easily

 

Send me the degraded cuts.

 

I replace a 1/3 of the beef and replace w chorizo. Everyone seems to love it

 

the girl turns 15 this weekend and she asked me to cook for her and her friends

Ribs, pork belly burnt ends, and pulled pork. plus mac & cheese and baked beans. I'm excited any time to family actually wants to eat bbq lol

 

I have a 4.25lb chuck roast I want to smoke and treat like a brisket. How bad of an idea is that? And if it's not a bad idea, what time frame would I be looking at if I smoke at 225? My guess was probably 6 hours?

 

If you're wanting to be able to slice it like a brisket. I would plan for 8, and be happy if it gets there in 6
6 feels about right, but 225 is pretty low

 

Plan is hopefully to slice it and it not be dog food. Bump up to 250? Trying to time it around an errand I have to run in the afternoon.

 

can always make poor man's burnt ends if it isn't good sliced

 

how much bbq can a group of 15 yos eat lol. That’s enough for a ton of peeps

 

A 15vyear old boy is worth about 5 people's worth of food

 

true true. I was thinking 15 yo girl.

 

Depending on the mix he may have either way too much or definitely not enough.

 

9 kids plus 6 adults

I'm just trying to be well prepared lol

 

And it’s fun. lol. I get it

 

Hand cut beef back ribs at 3.99/lb.

 

hour 10 on the briskets and 8 on the butts

the smells are bringing all the boys to the (back)yard

 

not me walking into cal’s back yard rn

 

Also fuck, “boy in crop top” is now part of my google algorithm

 

Nice meat

 

Don't act like it wasn't already

 

Hiding in plain site is a great tactic!

 

you caught a break with pride month just ending though

 

damn this thread is having a hell of a holiday

 

Let’s say hypothetically you have a brisket running in a pellet grill without a cover, and the sky opens up on you… how fucked would you be?

Hypothetically of course.

 

After 9.5 years, this finally died last weekend. I've seen some of the cool torches but they seem super expensive. Think I'll just go with another one, but maybe the wireless this time so wife can use it for the firepit this winter.

 

love the looft

bought one as a fuck it purchase a long time ago and have loved it for all things firestarting

 

Cross posted with 4th thread as it was my inspiration. Jerk chicken, carnival, rice & peas, Jamaican cucumber salad, and Fresh Scotch Bonnet hot sauce.

 

i’d let that chicken face fuck me

 

your eyes would be watering but so worth it

 

some ribs today because why not

 

I would definitely call that chicken back in the morning good gracious

 

The butt is coming along nicely. Will throw pork belly burnt ends and ribs on in a couple hours

 

That some wild color. What type of rub or sauce was used to achieve that?

 

Killer Hog Hot BBQ rub. First time using it (on non ribs) and the color was definitely a shock to me as well lol

 

When not glistening from the sprayer, the color looks closer to normal

 

That rub is amazing

 

Ribs and belly prepped. Will throw them on around 10am
