BBQ Brethren "With a Surprise Inside" Throwdown - Page 2

Gore · 07-28-2010, 05:50 PM

Well, some of you know that I've been stuck without a smoker or grill. I had a great idea for this throwdown also, and just didn't know what to do. During chocolate and churros tonight ecode suggested building a UDS. The neat thing about having a very talented wife is that she is able to whip together a UDS in a rather short period of time without any tools at all! In just a couple hours she not only built a UDS, but we had a throwdown entry all ready for submission! Granted, it's not a full-sized UDS. It may in fact be the smallest UDS in existence. The first job (and about my entire contribution) was getting a suitable drum. This I managed to do without too much difficulty. She even opened up the drum to get things prepped:

There was no room for a charcoal fire, so we improvised. I know some of you are thinking, "at least it isn't gas!" Others are thinking, "at least it isn't an Optigrill!"

A grill had to be custom-made to fit:

I assembled the ingredients, and especially the surprise:

Lit things up -- no waiting for things to come to temp on this baby!

Set everything on the UDS:

and grilled away:

You can see that things are coming along nicely now.

Oooooo, looks like a surprise!

But let's spread that on the cookie to make a tasty treat. ecode even let me use her new Birthday Throwdown Plate to take the picture!

Did I tell you this was a joint effort? Besides ecode, Smokey also helped. And what was that surprise?

Wow, who could ask for anything more?

Big_AL · 07-28-2010, 08:00 PM

Inventive, ingenuitive, hilarious!!!! I finally have some UDS plans I can follow.

bigfootinindiana · 07-28-2010, 10:12 PM

I'll never look at a beer can the same. This might be the funniest post I've ever seen on any forum.

Cheers,
Jason

Figured if I read through the UDS thread, I wouldn't have been in time to post an entry. Never thought of posting these plans there though.

I think most Brethren will tell you that beer is an essential part of every cook.

And Chris, full disclosure: this cook was done indoors, but near an open window.

Now THAT'S funny!

Isn't that a Rule 14 violation though Gore? However, the inventiveness gets muchisimo bonus points.

Gore that tealight powered UBS is sweet! I can't wait for the Never Ending UBS thread to start and for every smoker thread on the forum to have six answering posts "Build a UBS".

Using a Kinder Eier mit Überraschung is just brilliant. I love those things. They are so hard to find here as they have to be imported illegally.

How can I beat that throwdown shot?

This is my first throwdown entry, so here we go. A friend of mine brought over some fresh basil and tomatoes from his garden on saturday and we made some pizzas. There were some leftovers on Sunday, so I made some stuffed portabellas on the smoker. It was 103 degrees here, so I went with the gas smoker to keep my time outside to a minimum.

Started by putting some ricotta in the shrooms

Made a mixture of lump crabmeat(the surprise inside), the tomatoes, basil, a little heavy cream, salt, pepper, and crushed red peppers. Added this to the shrooms
stuffed_bella_2.JPG

Added some fresh mazarella
stuffed_bella_3.JPG

Threw them on the smoker for about an hour and a half on 200

Added Bread Crumbs and put in the broiler for a few minutes to get some crunch.

Ate with some creamed spinach. Unfortunatly I took all the pics with my phone so they didn't come out great. I guess use this last one.
