Whatcha cookin this weekend?

[big brother smoke]

Can't decide if I am doing a cook or not this weekend. I am having a rough week at the day job :mad: and figured I would get motivated by some of your responses as usual!

[bbqbull]

Gonna do some smoked salmon and a brisket flat. Also gonna roll 6 fatties if I dont get too messed up on the first 5. This is where the cookshack rules in freezing weather and snowing so hard ya cant believe it. Had inch and a half on snow on the deck railing this am.

Mike

[minijosh]

I'm keeping it simple, gonna do burgers and maybe a few dogs on the grill just to test out the new pitmaster.

[ZILLA]

I have a choice brisket that needs smoking. My son is visiting with his wife so I guess I'll do that on Sat. and a big pot of pinto's too. Sounds like a good Saturday to me.

[smokinbadger]

I'm gonna do another four butts and maybe a chicken. I'm next in the rotation to bring lunch for the group for a meeting next week at work, so I'll pull the shoulders and bring the meat, some slaw, mustard and red sauce and some really cheap white bread buns from the local supermarket.

I hope this helps with your motivation.

[Kung Fu BBQ]

nothin, I'm still eating lefter overs from last weekend

[Kirk]

Spares because I have them, thighs because I'm *this* close to getting my chicken the way I want it and a couple of chuck roasts because I haven't had a good BBQ beef sandwich in a while (besides, they were 1.68 / lb). I can't wait to doctor up some Cattleman's and then split, butter and grill some onion rolls for the sammies. I think I'm going to top them with some fried onions and maybe give 'em a squirt of horseradish sauce too.

[Wicked_Too]

I think I'm going to d some Hot Italian Sausage, ribs and some chicken quarters.

[Jeff_in_KC]

2 briskets, 4 pork butts, 6 slabs of babybacks and 24 thighs.

[bbqpigskin]

I'm planning on baby backs for Sunday. I've got three racks just waitin for some smoke and Blues Hog!

[Roo-B-Q'N]

2 briskets, 4 pork butts, 6 slabs of babybacks and 24 thighs.

Good luck to you Jeff and All of you doing Columbia.

I have around 30 people comeing over Saturday so will be doing 2 butts, 8 racks of spares, salmon, and all the fixins. Howeer I am finding it hard to even find one rack of ribs around Omaha:shock: Have gone to three stores and nothing!:twisted:

[big brother smoke]

Cooked some thighs last night and some homemade vegetable fried rice! Wifey did not want to cook. So, I was motivated by the need to feed the family. Sorry to lazy to take pics!

[SmokeInDaEye]

Jorge told me I need to redeem myself in the eyes of my fellow Texans so planning to cook some beef ribs.

I also have this idea for something I'm calling "shorties", basically bite sized fatties stuffed with cheese, roasted garlic, etc. Want to test them before the holidays.

Plus maybe some pork belly for a batch of beans later in the week.

[Dustaway]

Will be doing a fattie and a tenderloin

[FatDaddy]

3 racks of spares cause i dont have a vacuseal. and 2 fatties. and what ever else i pick up between now and then.

[ModelMaker]

I'm gonna do a couple of $1.66 lb spares and a cream cheese/jap fatty.
While the wife tells me what to do to prepare for the winter that is 20 minutes from being in our front yard???
Have a weekend all.

[rbinms33]

I'm in an experimenting mood this weekend so 10# of leg quarters just became my "guinea pig". Different brines, different rubs and different finishing methods will be tried. If nothing else, it's a good reason to sit out on the back porch with a hurricane in my hand.

Supposed to rain on Sunday so I think a big ole pot of chili with some cracklin' cornbread would be perfect for watching the race.

[Arlin_MacRae]

Leftover Mode...

[nmayeux]

14 butts, pan of Kevin's beans, and two big pots of jambalaya for my buddy's kid's first birthday party. Cooking the butts today, and the jambalaya tomorrow.

[big brother smoke]

Noah, looking excellent! I think I am off to Sam's or Costco now!

[scottm4300]

4 salmon fillets, 5 fatties, and cheese (gouda, jarlsburg, brie and cheddar)

[WalterSC]

Well good question. I will either do 2 buts or 2 shoulders on the smoker . Got some corn on the cob to have as well , my wife Niki will make some kinda pie for desert and some rolls.

[Kevin]

Back at you Noah, cooking Mayeux Jambalaya. Got a bowl of great northerns soaking for ham and bean soup too. Crockpot meals for next week. 27* for tonight's low, with a northwest wind of 18 to 35 mph. Dutch oven on the stove top for me.

[scottm4300]

The salmon fillets are ready to go. They sat in a mix of brown sugar, kosher salt and garlic for 6 hours, then got rinsed and left to form a pellicle. More pics later

[ericoask]

Smokin some prime rib before the race

[Neil]

Beef Tongue and bbq'd chicken for the wifey.

[TexasGuppie]

...then got rinsed and left to form a pellicle. More pics later

I don't mean to sound stupid (I can do that with very little effort) but what the heck is a "Pellicle?" I always thought that was one of those big goofy birds that you see on the docks down in Cabo. Are they good smoked?

Gup

Here's the days haul:(4 from my BBQ Goal list)
Mini armadillo eggs (golfball size)
ABTs
Big Time Drumsticks
Southwest Stew on a Stick
Sweet & Spicey Wings
Borracho Beans

[big brother smoke]

Damn that looks fantastic!

[jgh1204]

Small brisket and a picnic. Had a bit of a pit fire, so they got a little flambe'd.

[Single Fin Smoker]

Man that looks good. What I ate this weekend dosen't matter. I want some a dat!!!

[minijosh]

I bought 3 small chickens and this will be my first atempt ever to cook indirectly. I'm using the KC Masterpiece rub for the bbq taste and some wood for flavor. Wish me luck. Here is my guestimated time table.
1:30 cut the chicken into half and wash it and rub it down.
2:30 start the grill with 3 large wood chunks
3:00 put the chicken on the grill
5:00 take chicken off the grill and enjoy.
Is that enough time?

[Kirk]

That depends on your temp MiniJ. If you're cooking at low temp (225-250), you're going to need another hour or more. If you're cooking at higher temps (325 and up), two hours might be a bit much. Just go by the internal temp of the birds regardless of pit temp and you should be OK.

Looks great! You're going to be done with all 40 recipes in a month if you keep cooking like this! I need to try making armadillo eggs sometime. How much jalepeno did you use for your mini ones, thrillin?

[scottyd]

starting 42 butts today for a great company party, Tuesday noon. pulled pork, beans, coleslaw, some other salads. and to top it off all the buns are homemade in our own company's kitchen. The best!!

[thillin]

How much jalepeno did you use for your mini ones, thrillin?

I put 2 slices each. I used cheese sticks. I cut the sticks in 6 peices. I places the jalapeno slices on a paper towel and dried some. I used JC Potter Hot sausage. Came out really well. The oblong 2 only had cheese(for the wife).

[minijosh]

My neighbor let me borrow his digital gauge. I want one. His has a attachment so I can get readings inside my house. Anyone have a spare one for sale? Birds flipped and moved to different locations for better coverage. I'll take a pic when they are done.

[Bigmista]

Used the bones I had leftover from the pics I smoked on Monday to make a pork stock. Gonna use it to make me a pot of pintos.

Made Mexican Chicken Soup (http://www.thesurvivalgourmet.com/archives/24) on Friday because it was a little chilly and rainy.

[minijosh]

Well the food is done and ate. I thought I undercooked it so I gave some to my neighbor. He took a bite and said it was perfect. I also ended up giving him a entire cooked chicken.
After about 20 minutes, his wife came over and told me that they were jealous. I asked why and she said my chicken wasn't raw, it has smoke rings in the meat. I guess that means I did good right? :eek:

[SmokeInDaEye]

Well the food is done and ate. I thought I undercooked it so I gave some to my neighbor. :eek:

You thought it was raw so you fed it to your neighbors?!! You must not like them much...:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Looks like it turned out great!

[bbqjoe]

Nice guy!!!!!

Hey, I think this milk's gone bad. Here you try it.

[jminion]

Cooked 300 pounds of butt for charity gig and taught a overnight competition cooking class.
Be in Vejas next weekend for a competition.

[minijosh]

He's my trainer so I have to let him try it out. I've never heard of a smoke ring. Plus they were doing whiskey shots so they'd eat anything hehe.

[bbqjoe]

Just some ribs!!!!

[minijosh]

Man your pile of ribs makes my chicken look like what they will be in a few days.

[Kevin]

I've never heard of a smoke ring.

Stick around here long enough and "you" will have a smoke ring. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[bbqjoe]

Man your pile of ribs makes my chicken look like what they will be in a few days.
Man..............
I really had to think about that one for a minute.

(Asprin mod)

[Kevin]

Man your pile of ribs makes my chicken look like what they will be in a few days.

Took me awhile too.

[bbqjoe]

Took me awhile too.
Glad it wasn't just me.

[big brother smoke]

yep, me too!

[brdbbq]

Big Arse pot of Chili on as I write.....with Beans.

[FatDaddy]

rained on me all farking day. plus i was hungover from last nights hockey game . so i didnt even start cooking till almost 9am. got the WSM fired up around 730 and put the ribs and Boston Butt in around 945. ate ribs around 330 and just got through pulling the pork. i think it needed a little more time in the cooler it didnt pull as easy as it normally does. i didnt bother taking pics. im just ready to grab a shower and relax and goto bed. , all yalls food looks great though.
Ty how much rain yall get in DFW? we got 2 " here in WF

[Norcoredneck]

Took easy road out, Costco chicken , yams on Q, and macaroni salad. Picked up boneless pork shoulders at costco. 1 for buckboard bacon, boy do they hack the bone out.

[bbqbull]

Scorecard of this weekends cook/smoke. Did 8# of cheese, 8# brisket flat. 2 racks of ribs. 2 pastramis and 7# of salmon. Whatta lot of messin around in 2 cookshack ovens. Id rather cook 50 porkbutts and and 30 racks of ribs. A lot easier than all this little stuff. Glad I had the cookshacks in the garage though. 35 mph winds Saturday day and nite. Would have had a heck of a time in the big Klose Mobile, maintaining temperatures. Sure ate good though.

[SmokeInDaEye]

Just finished making way too much food.

First up were the "shorties", bite-sized fatties stuffed with roasted garlic and mozzarella cheese. Next, I cold smoked 5 lbs of bacon, some mozzarella (left over from the shorties), and some sharp wisconsin cheddar. I also found these pork shoulder "steaks" at the store so cooked those for lunch this week.

Unfortunately the wife wanted gumbo for dinner so all of that food went into the fridge. Made a crab, andoille, and crawfish gumbo, along with deep fried okra and cracklins. Here's pics of the shorties, etc.

[bbqpigskin]

I did the 3 racks of Baby Backs for the family. They went for about 4.5 hrs @ 235. I used oak and apple woods for the smoke and finished em with Blues Hog. They were farkin tasty! As you can see below, I am cultivating future brethren!

[SmokeInDaEye]

Those are some great looking ribs, Mike! Bet the boys left nothing but bones!
