Dang, something screwy is happening here. Let's try this again.

Please accept this as an official entry in the free-for-all TD. I submit for you a traditional Finnish BBQ, which is a New Year's tradition. There is not a lot of fresh food available this time of year, so the Finns BBQ tin. They begin with horseshoe-shaped ingots and melt them down outside on their BBQ-ing apparatus. Note the flame, and this was cooked outside, so it qualifies as BBQ. :thumb: According to the label, the ingots do contain lead, so probably it is not a good idea to eat a lot of them.

Use the above picture. It is bright and shiny and looks quite tasty as far as tin goes.

Then illuminating it and reading our fortunes for the New Year:

Mine had a turtle-like shadow, and it was decided that it means I'm a wee bit slow.

Mod Note:

This is the third time you have posted this non-food "entry" into a food throwdown. The TD mods have moved the other two into the off-topic thread because there is no food in your post. While they realize that the category is a "free-for-all", the Throwdowns have always beed a food competition and will continue to be. Please stop wasting their time by repeatedly posting a non-food "entry" in this ON TOPIC thread.

Post Holiday Throwdown

Here is my entry to the post holiday throw down. First time posting. I cooked a turkey that I had left over from Thanksgiving that I got from work. I cooked at 325* using apple wood in the baby stump using stubs natural briquets. I did not brine and I stuffed the turkey with onion, celery, apple, carrot, and sage. Rubbed with S&P, garlic, poultry seasoning. Cooked on foil pan with rack inside. See pics below. Turned out great and had a decent smoke ring.

We entertained a few family friends "post-holiday" as we were unable to get together during the season. As we had a wide range of tastes, I decided to make several different selections so that everyone was happy. I started with some Oakridge Dominator/Crucible Spare Ribs-sauced with Head Country hot, Some Dominator/HDD Ribs, a 6 lb. butt with SM Sweet and Spicy rub-sauced with some Bone Suckin' Sauce, some SPOG chicken legs and a batch of ABTs because I love them!

The butt ended up to about 185* before it was time to eat, so I sliced/chuncked it up. It was very moist, flavorful and had a nice texture...not tough, but not fully ready to pull.

The ribs hit the spot for me!!! Thanks Oakridge for an awesome combination of heat and spice-Love the Dominator/Crucible combination.

Thanks for looking!

The best part, my plate! Please use as my Official TD Entry Pic.

 
Today I made pastrami and onion rye bread. I forgot to take cook pictures, so this is all I've got.

I started with a 4 pound corned beef point. I forgot to soak it first so it came out pretty salty. Fortunately it's edible, but I won't make that mistake again.

Here it is after about 8 hours in the smoker.

While the RecTec was coming up to 425F these wings got a good soaking in lemon juice and Greek seasoning. Went for about an hour then rolled in franks redhot buffalo sauce. Nice crispy skin and came clean off of the bone.
