Please consider this my entry for the Vets...

A friend is bringing some brisket up to the bar tonight, so I decided to make a fatty to go with it. HEB is having it's annual Hatch Pepper craze, so that sounded good.

Bought 6 hot Hatch Peppers and threw them on the grill last night to roast up. Once done, I threw them into a Ziploc bag to steam and then put them in the fridge later on. Peeled and seeded them this morning.

Found some sausage made with Hatch Peppers to go with the peppers I roasted. Figured some Jack cheese and bacon would round it out.

Missed a picture here. Flattened out the sausage in a bag, cut the cheese into three strips, wrapped two of the cheese strips in two peppers each, centered them on the sausage and rolled it up. Seasoned the Fatty with a little of my pork rub. Made a bacon weave and set the fatty in the middle.

All wrapped in the bacon weave and a little black pepper on top. About this time, the wife was about to cook some Mackerel in a frying pan. I suggested smoking it outside...

So, on the 275* smoker went the Fatty and her two fish...

Fish didn't take long. Next time, a little higher heat to get a little crispier skin. Tasted good though, if you like fish...

Fatty hit 160* IT, gave the bacon a little smack with the blow torch to crisp up the skin, and pulled it when it hit 165* IT.

Let it rest for about 20 minutes and then sliced it open.

Lotsa pepper and cheesy gooeyness... (Yeah, I just made up that word.)

Here be a pirate vet "official" entry

Pork Burnt Ends with a smoked corn and black bean salad

Smoked a small (6-7lb) butt hot and fast in my stick burner with cherry splits. Temps ran around 325. When It hit 165-170, I cubed it, added rub, and put it back on. Added another split and let her ride around 350-400 about an hour, then added some sauce and let it go about 20 minutes. Delicious!

Salad Is Smoked Corn, garden cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, jalapeno, black beans, Fresh cilantro, Lime juice, salt, pepper

 
Those be some purty ribs, CD. Which picture would you like to use for the poll?
 
I think the noobian are taking the ninja should remain unseen thing too far. Come on guys the vets just put up a whole page of cooks.

First time throwdown entry so be gentle yee scalleywags.

My first time ever doing MOINK Balls so I decided to enter these for the throwdown. I have some "Official" MOINKS and some "unofficial" balls stuffed with cheese. Either way they were good.

Cook 2 of 3 for the Noobies

Along with my MOINKS I decided to try my luck at homemade pumpkin cheesecake. How hard could it be for someone who has never made cheesecake let alone made it in a pellet grill. Here be the results

Cook 3 of 3 being entered for the Noobies

Since I was on a day of "Firsts" I decided to try my luck at Tri-tip. I called my local butcher and he had 2 # tips so I decided to try my luck at one. I cooked it at 225 on the Bowie until IT hit 138 and was still too bloody where I pulled the sensor out so I let it go another 10-15 minutes until this time it thermapen'd at 145 so I wrapped it in foil and let it sit until the mashed potatoes were done. Upon slicing it this is what we find

Nice smoke penetration
