Reverse Sear Kobe Tri-Tip and Lamb Chops on the Cajun Bandit Mini Smoker Joe

swamprb · Nov 8, 2010

This little monster is kickin' some serious a$$ and having a blast playing with it! Here are a couple more cooks I did over the last week.

Starting off with some Anderson Farms Lamb blade chops, coated with evoo and my Santa Maria rub with Rosemary. Cooked over Cherry lump from Real Montana Charcoal Co...and Cherry for smoke.

The rest

The sear

Sunday Wagyu Tri-Tip!

Santa Maria rub

Added some more Cherry lump from the last cook and fired it off, Cherry for smoke.

The Eggs are jealous!

The sear

Resting

Dinner is served!

I can't wait to get some time to cook low n' slow with this baby! Until then, I'm a grillin' fool!

Thanks go out to Bill and Mohammed at the Butcher Shop Cafe and Chris Byrd at C&C Grilling Co.for feedin' my addiction!

I did a vent handle mod, but this is a prototype Cajun Bandit specifically for the Weber Smoky Joe from C&C Grilling Co. Not on the market - Yet.

Weber makes a couple Smokey Joe 14" grills, the Silver-with the 4 hole vent on the bottom and the Tuck n' Carry with a locking lid bail and side vents above the charcoal grate. I'm going to try both and get a feel which one works best.
Here is a Smoker Joe link from the bullet site that is turning into a daylong stretch!

Mini Cajun Bandit

Charcoal ring
I have a piece of steel perf over the vent. Not sure if I need it or not, but it works good for now.

Stainless steel waterpan

Tuck n' Carry with side vents

From all the posts on the bullet site, there aren't that many cook pics or observations. Chris S (Family Man BBQ) has been using his at home and for comps and he has been very helpful, lucky for me he's just down the street!

Great, great job!

I cannot even begin to express my desire to have one of those. I'm already planning the blog posts for when it's available. I'm so jealous...

It appears to be Thirdeye's Thirdhand grate lifter.

Third Hand grate lifter from Thirdeye. Check out his site for info.

A length of All-thread and a knob that happened to fit, double bolted to the vent tab.

Wow only $7.99lb for a Wagyu Tri-tip! NICE!! Are you buying the Wagyu beef locally??

KnucklHed BBQ · Dec 31, 2010

More on this Waygu tri-tip Brian... worth the additional cost? I haven't found a regular old TT yet that I haven't liked and hasn't liked me...

What did you think of the charcoal? Everytime I'm near Hamilton I try to get some from Randy but he's is sold out... :sad:

SmokinAussie · Feb 16, 2011

Brian, I know you thought I missed this, but I didn't.

Now I'm catching up and awarding ALF's for people who missed out earlier...

That's a really nice presentation of the lamb chops.... and the tri tip wasn't bad either!

Cheers!
