4th Plans

chad · Jul 2, 2005

I'm not cooking today (well, maybe I'll grill something later) but I'll be cooking 3-4 racks of ribs and grilling (Cornell) some chicken for Anne's office Monday (nurses work weekends!!).

Today it's chores and I'm tackling the woodpile. Joey, my 12 year old, and I are trying to get 3 - 35 gallon cans filled with split oak. The oak is from last years pre-hurricane trimming! I'm chainsawing some logs into more manageable sizes and then Joey and I am splitting the wood the old-fashioned way: axe, maul/log splitter, and wedge.

Actually it's going ok - we've got two cans filled and we are for sure quitting after 3!! That'll give me enough for 3-5 cooks in Ferris!

Me and Motrin have an understanding!!

Yep, that's what I split with.

Me too; except bigger. It's called a "monster maul." To enhance the threapeutic value, try pasting photos of your least favorite politician on top of th logs first.

Just started on 2 Butts and will cook 25 lbs of B-backs in the morning and through out the day!!! Already contemplating taking off Tuesday :shock: . Ready for a big feed!!!!

I did a coupla racks of spares yesterday for my mother-in-law. I also smoked a picnic shoulder in that meco electric that I got a while back. I took the heating element out and decided that since I didn't have a charcoal grate yet (can't find one that fits) I would try it with just putting the charcoal in the bottom of the smoker. I figured I wouldn't be upset if it didn't work because I only paid $.69/lb for the pork roast and I could always move it to the chargriller to finish.

The meco held temp for a good 6 hours without a reload. I actually went to a birthday party and came back and it was still smoking away! It's in the oven right now (don't own a cooler). I will post a pic later when I pull it.

Grillin this time. burgers, dogs, steaks and maybe some salmon.
Energy conservation mod (my energy that is).

The extra touch will be poblano pepper fillets on the burgers. Maybe chedddar-filled too.

Samichlaus · Jul 4, 2005

Parents coming over. BYC is chugging away. Doing spares, tri-tip, chicken thighs & some short ribs. I know short ribs are not typical for BBQ but kinda like 'em, rectangular blocks of meat, maybe 3 inches long, with a whole bunch of fat, meat, bone, and connective tissue. I get 'em when they're cheap at the Mexican market.

Arlin_MacRae · Jul 4, 2005

I did a ten-pound brisket, a 7# butt, three racks of baby backs, and four fatties yesterday.
All came out perfectly and the in-laws raved. Threw in some beer and pool-time and it was a great day.
Cedar plank salmon here in an hour or so.
