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

i try to defragment once a day, but sometimes its hard with a wife and kids around

 

With the fucking 5 inches of snow-turned sheet ice, I've decided to crock pot my roast beef sandwiches. I feel dirty.

 

Don't forget the Liquid Smoke

 

Looftlighter came today. Where's this thing been my whole life?

 

Blue's house burns down and all of a sudden he's fucking rich

 

Nah, just replacing shit i never used with shit I'll use. It's coming to a screeching halt soon. Trust me.

 

Whatever you say Paul Allen

 

Serious. In the meantime, if you need me, have my butler come get me. I'll be swimming in my pool full of gold coins.

 

this actually works (for speed)

and holy shit i needed it. 44% frag'd

yall go to your bottom left icon and click run and type in defrag it should be right there

 

Dumping snow in Portland

 

Starting research on a new smoker. I've had one in my life, a cheap brand bought at a local department store for 195 bucks. Offset, wood/coal smoker.

So, Pellets Electric, or Wood. What do you all use? I cook a ton and a ton of meat.

 

sorry you can't smoke turkey properly taxes

 

depends on how you want to do it
do you have access to wood already?
Do you live in a town where you would have easy access too buy pellets?
Do you enjoy sitting by a fire and tending it, or would you rather just hit a switch and come back a few hours later?

Personally I like the wood fire tending in my big smoker the most, but I also have a small electric that I like since I can just put a bunch of chicken in there and go fishing then come back 4 hours later to some good eating.
been eyeballing some of the wifi enabled pellet smokers, but they are so damn expensive I cant justify the cost and would probably never use it since I live out in the sticks and would never remember to buy pellets

 

BGE MAFIA PLAYA

 

Two things:

1 - Did anyone end up getting one of those Meater Thermometers? I randomly just thought about those and always wanted to get one but wanted to read reviews first.

2 - I've never done beef ribs and think that I need to do beef ribs. Anyone got any favorite techniques?

 

Do they make a BGE that I could potentially even cater with?

 

But how does he adjust the lower vent?

 

The troll that you chain up to it is sold separately

Your life is about to change.

 

Short ribs to go with chili i made

 

my big green egg lid is frozen shut. cant get the fucker open.

 

Can you get the daisy wheel off?

 

maybe you should open the firebox and start a fire

 

yep...tried dropping a fire starter in there but it didnt produce enough heat....ill have to go to the hardware store tomorrow to get that and more characoal to start a fire in the firebox like bigred77 mentioned

 

Brother-in-law gave me a bottle of Salt Lick Original rub for Xmas and I used it tonight on some spare ribs. Was surprised at the heat level it brought (which the lady did not care for) and I guess I shouldn't have been surprised at the saltiness.

Will probably cut it with some more brown sugar and other spices in the future.

 

Publix has chuckies, stl ribs and ribeyes on BOGO.

 

I've been there but I don't have a good solution for you. I waited until it thawed naturally. That should happen sooner for you than it did in Minneapolis.

 

Waiting for this bitch to heat up now. Doesn't help that I left the plate setter in there. Stuck a shit ton of fire starters in there. I will have pork tomorrow!

 

Maybe put a hair dryer to the outside?

 

It's much better on beef than pork, but yea it packs a lot of heat.

 

Do you keep your egg covered? I've never had mine freeze shut. Then again, I have no gasket on mine so there isn't much that can freeze together.

 

You yankees. 75 in the south this wknd after being 17 last.

 

Got an amazon gift card. Need to reup on my john henrys pecan rub but whats another good multiuse sweet with a little heat rub for pork/chicken?

 

Someone on here told me about plowboys yardbird rub. It's pretty great.

 

I actually already have that. Not that sweet imo

 

dblplay1212

thinking of getting this

 

Smoked a chicken this evening

 

Good stuff, one of my go-to's

 

It's good. I normally go back and forth between Yard bird and that. The rub is good but their bbq sauce is even better. You can normally find a pack of rub and sauce in amazon. I'd go that route. Fantastic on pork and chicken.

 

I've been using that oil less fryer so much since Thanksgiving that my BGE was getting neglected. Had to fix that today. The guy that I stole the smoked Mac and cheese from has a pork belly video that I've been wanting to try so today was a good day for that. Just put the bell on.
