Finally cooking

I live in a great place, isolated, 40 acres, and a bandera. Now the down side, it is so frigging windy!
Went up to town to get some plumbing parts today. Got back and my wife had a fattie ready, a beer chicken on the rack with basil inside the skin with a onion in the neck for a cork. also had pork blade rubbed and ready, and a some potatoes and onions with basil stalks pierced thru them. Got home at 5 pm. The chicken and the fattie are done. Veggies and the pork blade are still on. Blade at 186, yeh haw. She has gone to bed. The chicken was to die for! Guess we are going to have to get a metal shed just to put the smoker in. It is just so frigging windy up here!
But at least there are no people!!

How'd it come out?

Perfect. I sliced them up first. A little Head Country on one side and cajun rub on the other. 3 minutes a side and then just bite off the bone. What happened with those 3 racks of ribs last week with 3 different rubs? Which rub won?

I did three butts last night, they came out great. I am cooking 3 large CAB Briskets today, the last one is still in the bandera, foiled and at 180. The other 2 are already at temp and in a prewarmed igloo.

All this is for my brothers bd party next weekend in Fort Worth(Aledo). With the strict burn ban up there, I dont want to cook and this way I dont have to haul my bandera up there. May do some ribs in a few days, but I think that is more than enough food.

The new charcoal basket from Spicewine is working great. I am maintaining temps much easier.

These briskets were so large, the bottom one absorbs all the heat and had to rotate about every 1.5 hours. The temp of the bottom brisket was 15-20 degrees warmer than the top one.

I'm gonna put some wings on in the AM for the P-Burg v Indy game tomorrow. Some buffalo for me, some teriyaki for the Mrs and BBQ for the Grandson. Want to try another "flavor" or two, gotta get inspired over my coffee in the morning.

Break'in in a New Smoker Today

Keeping it simple today my new pit's first date with food. Couple barnyard buzzards, one brined one injected (both rubbed/sprayed) and my first fatty. Smoked over half charcoal/half hickory.

Seriois Mod: I think I may have poisoned myself from what I made yesterday. Will post details in another thread.

So windy here, changed plans on smokin, and settled for building a big pot of chili yesterday. It came out so good, I had a big bowl for breakfast. Screw the cherrios.

I have a butterflied chicken rubbed with garlic butter under the skin and on it then added some homemade rub on top. I have another chicken on a beer can with butter under the skin, some basil, fresh cracked pepper and season salt on the inside and out. Added a sprig of fresh rosemary to the beer and used an apple as a cork in the neck. I then put on a small fattie (italian). Wife told me I could not do more today. I was going to clean a few things out of the freezer but not this weekend.
Everything went on at 11am today. Got a late start. Slept in!

 

[jgh1204]

Just removed the briskets from the cooler, after 12 hours, they were still at 145. Cut a little off the end of one point, tasted great. They are going into the frig to cool so that I can wrap and freeze for next weekend.

12:30 Texas time, feetball on, bird and fatty smoke'in (hickory, bit of mesquite, charcoal mix). One bird brined (my basic recipe), other injected (Tony C. creole butter). Store bought chicken rub on both. Took the neighbor a grand total of 4 mins to walk over ... carrying brew. :-D

I just put three slabs of loin backs in the WSM. I rubbed them with my own version of Big Mista's rub. I'm going to put on a fatty in a bit.

While I was at the cooker my neighbor came out on his deck and he said that he is making chili, and he promised me a bowl of "Blue Ball Chili". He said it has tequila and dark beer in it. How can you go wrong?

 

[thirdeye]

I seasoned up a salmon fillet, vacuum sealed it, hoping to drive the rub in before grilling it. When it comes off the cooker, I'm tossin' on a pan full of mussels with a little tomato sauce and garlic, maybe using some Jack Daniels chips for the mussels.

Just took the chicken off! It smells good!! Steelers are up 21 - 10. Good food and a good game going on! Hope they can hold Indy off!
