BBQness @ "Kettle Cook Off" Throwdown

Please accept this as my throwdown entry.

It was some time I haven't used my 26 OTG and some rust was growing...
So I decided to partecipate.
I thawed a 6 lb PANZANESE STEAK from Dario Cecchini, The Tuscan Butcher.
I dry brined it fo some hours

I set up the 26 OTG with the snake Minion Method to ensure a steady smoking T round 180 F with water in and hickory chips too. On top a huge pizza pan with some water in.

Meanwhile, I have lit a full chimney of Weber charcoal and I put it in the Kettle to sear the steak

That's a delightful looking steak mate
 
Enrico, that is some steak! 6 lbs, wow! I love the charcoal ring you are using, it gives me an idea of how to deal with my old kettle -- which doesn't lend itself to straight partitions and I've been trying to find a way around that. I could make the right size with expanded steel and bolts. Thanks, brother!
 
Please accept this as my entry to the kettle throwdown.

Chicken wings rubbed with Old Bay Garlic & Herb then seared and smoked with pecan. Sauce is Frank's Red Hot, butter, and worcestershire.



I think ribs are perfect as a side for wings. Mac n cheese got invited too.

Did a cook today, and decided to enter it. Since the plated shot with the yardbird and steak is crappy, let's make the sides my official entry... Kettle in action...



Plated pic shows it all... Tried a new cranberry run on some test bird, and a Dizzy pig rubbed ribeye. Bacon wrapped and naked ABT's, a grilled Vidalia with various stuffing, and some bbq bread, anf grilled corn with cheese, all done on the kettle...

Entry for tonight's dinner.

Marinated in Italian dressing, added some Shack Attack about 20 min before putting on the grill.
