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

Ribs and wings today. FIL brought over a random piece of salmon so I guess I'll just throw that on later too

 

Bro, your socks are gunna get nasty

 

Had two chicken breasts defrosted so I cut them up and stuffed em with sliced jalapeños and cheese I had smoked a few weeks ago, and wrapped em in bacon then coated em in meat church all purpose



Now on to the sausage balls

 

Legit thought for a second that they said pickles

 

Can’t recommend these enough. Best sausage balls I’ve ever had and super easy.

 

Basically the same as I did below
But this time I used regular pork bacon and coated them with meat church rubs
doing these at 250 for a little while,, if rhe bacon ain't crisping up, I will crank up over 300

 

BTW, that's only one pound of sausage to make all those
So the sausage is pretty thin

 

bryix check in

 

I'm smoking a butt right now and am almost finished with WW2 in Color on Netflix. Just turned 35... fuck

 

Slightly over done in the flat, falls apart to easy for competition
Overall, not a bad effort for the first brisket on this smoker

 

that's the best brisket I've ever done

 

beef fat ran off of the cutting board, down the cabinet and pooled on the floor

the wife didn't think that was as hilarious as I did

 

Posted in beer thread, but wanted to share my meat with y’all too

 

wrong thread

 

Just wanted to drop a line and say that this is my favorite thread on TMB

 

Snacking on some smoked queso dip while the chickens are finishing up

 

Yes

 

Pork belly burnt ends bacon imo. Think about it

 

The pellet hopper on my Traeger (less than two months old) caught fire and fried the system. Support thinks it’s an unfortunate defect. Have a video call with them tomorrow.

 

Onion + butter + seasoning wrapped in foil and cooked on a grill, is never a bad thing

 

Endless orgasms in the mouth.

 

For whom?

 

for me. I was replying to the golf thread in here by mistake

 

Burger night. Not my best played burger pic but oh well. Was delicious.

 

But what do you think of the game so far?

 

I have watched as much of it as I have any other NFL game in the past 20 years.

 

Pretty impressive though, right?

 

I do not know what your are fishing for here. I do not watch NFL. Even the super bowl. I don’t care for it. So to me, not impressive at all.

 

Is it because you stand for the flag and kneel for the cross?

(in case it’s not clear this post is in jest)

 

It is because about 20 years ago, I had the epiphany that I could get a lot more accomplished in my life if I ditched the 4-10 hours a week spent sitting in front of a tv watching NFL teams play. I was never a big NFL fan even before that.

For other people that like NFL, good for them. I have never been drawn to it.

 

you posted your menu in another thread about not caring a bit about the Super Bowl. I was cracking jokes that you weren’t making anything special for the game.

 

I get not following the NFL on a weekly basis, but the title game isn't worth watching? That seems like some kind of personal rejection. It's a sport that you enjoy being played at the highest level for all the marbles. Feels oddly contrarian.

 

Take it to an NFL thread.

 

Only a 3.75lber for the super bowl, actually took way longer than prior, larger butts I’ve done. First time using apple chunks on something other than chicken or turkey and really enjoyed it

 

Pork looks great. You do anything special to the buns? Which ones did you use?

 

Little bit of butter and toasted in a skillet, went with Challah buns as they are the wife’s favorite for basically everything

 

Yeah they are.

 

I see

 

How did this turn out?

 

I fixed it. In what Traeger says is a rare occurance, some of the pellets meshed together and clogged the air holes of the fire box, forcing the flame back into the hopper. I removed the clogged pellets today. Should be good to go. System not fried. It wouldn’t turn on last night as a reaction to the hopper fire.
