I've done 3 pork shoulders this year (two boneless). I prefer the bone in for a more consistent meat taste and texture.

My mother stopped by last weekend and dropped off an 18 lb prime brisket. For the past week, I've been looking at getting an Oklahoma Joe offset smoker, because my Weber can't handle such a large chunk of meat. Tonight I decided "Fuck It". I cut it in half, froze the smaller flat, and put on the other cut (235 degrees) at 9:30. I'm going to foil wrap it at 150, take off at 190, and cook until internal is 200 degrees.

I'll try to take a pic prior to wrapping it.

Tomorrow, I will be in a meat/beer coma.

I've got a 7.5# one going on soon...last weekend's one was well-received even tho my timing was off (dinner was later than expected). Starting it at 4am this time, expecting it to go about 12 hours. Going for a warmer cook temp this time (275) and undecided on wrapping the meat - did not wrap last time and folks were happy with it (working on a gas grill, not a true smoker). Pulled last weekend's effort at 195, but I want to run this one to 203.

[gatorboy]

Good thing for a temp gage w/ alarm. 150 degrees woke me up at 4:30 to foil wrap it. Woke me up again at 6:30 to unwrap it at 185. Pulled off grill at 204. Letting it rest while I watch kids swim and enjoy my coffee/baileys/kahlua.

I removed the wood chips when foiled. I use a store bought bbq rub...next brisket half will only be salt/pepper/garlic powder.

New meat market in town. Local cows, pigs, chickens, etc. Grass fed, no antibiotics, yoga doing cows.

Grilled smoked pork chops for dinner tonight.



Should I be eating this?







Smoking some of their Maui marinated country pig ribs along with a 1/2 yardbird a friend gave me that I marinated with a raspberry vinaigrette for another night.

Been giving the new Green Mountain Grill all it can handle since I picked it up last weekend. What a fun cooker! So far it has had a tri tip, t-bone, beer butt chicken, chicken breasts, pizza, berry cobbler, and stuffed burgers cooked on it. Everything has been amazing! I did 4 tri tip roasts for the first meat, not a single chunk of meat was left that night, the guests raved for days about it. Cannot wait to get the time to do a slow cooked brisket. Ribs are going on it this weekend.

Honey mustard ginger soy pig chops with grilled beans and onions. Roasted beets too.

God damn iPhone app...

Moo.

It's not much to look at right now, but in about 10 days (give or take), this'll be pastrami.

Took longer than expected (nice 2.5 week brine), but it's done! First try, so I'm pretty happy with it, but wonder if maybe I should have trimmed a little more fat. Now it's rested and ready to steam and serve. Next up, homemade rye bread.

Just built a 4x8 pit. I'm collecting piles of, oak, apple, maple etc. I will have a metal awning with work table, lights and power strip next to it. It basically sits in the woods on my property.

I'l fire it up once a week for a multicourse menu where all food is cooked over the wood coals. Pics to come

First up -

Roasted Leeks, Smoked Tomato Dressing, Basil - cooking the leeks whole over the coals. Tomatoes will smoke long and hard, then be mashed with good vinegar and olive oil. We'l throw an absurd amount of basil at the plate when it's done

Oysters from the Pit - black pepper and lemon, we'l save any juices that run off to stir into the lemon black pepper & olive oil as a dressing

Whole Lamb, Garlic, Rosemary & Lemon - Sunchokes and Whole Shallots cooked in the coals (going to wrap the veggies in leek greens and lamb fat)

Strawberry & Rhubarb Cobbler - cooked in a cast iron skillet, served with local ice cream

[Bobby Stainless]

Some strong cooks in here.

Im smoking a chicken, and making some white sauce.

How about some love for Camp Chef?

2 burner sits next to my gas grill. Gives me a ton of options. I also use it for brewing beer. And it travels with us.


Couple burners. Nice for brewing. More hot water than I need. Also have a single.


Got a couple of these griddles. I can turn the whole thing into a flat top.




Also have the BBQ box. Put it on the burner and you got a sweet gas grill. Legit cast iron grate and enameled insides.

[BCMtnHound]

We have the 3 burner camp chef, with the reversible 2 burner cast iron that you have. Love it both at home and at the cabin as an outdoor kitchen. 30000 BTU per burner makes short work of bringing the canner to a boil. Also nice to do eggs, bacon and pancakes for 4 all at once. Think we will get the stainless 2 burner griddle this summer. Not sold on the bbq box yet as I enjoy cooking over real charcoal or wood in the weber/firepit.

Overcooked a French rack of Lamb tonight on the new gas grill. Would never have happened on the charcoal Weber. Sucks being a noob again.

Nothing that another bottle of good red won't fix-
