I Been Cookin' Today!

[thunter]

Man, do I love being on the Atkins diet! I can have meat, meat, meat, oh and I can't forget - meat! :lol: :lol:

I had 3 turkey legs, 12 boneless chicken thighs and 6 "poke-chops" that I wanted to cook up and have ready for meals for the rest of the week. Here is the rundown..,

First, I setup my CG Smokin' Pro for indirect cooking in the main chamber...


While the CG was heating up I had the goodies sittin' in rub...


Now its time to put them on the grill with plenty of hickory chunks to make a great flavor...


I chopped up some green leaf lettuce and fixed a salad to have with this great tasting meat...


It was all very tasty and my daughter wuz munchin'! 8)

Maybe closer if you use the Splenda Brown Sugar.

I do fine without it.

Nice eats!

I use Splenda Brown Sugar all the time for everything and it does not affect my progress at all!

Mista, you are right about that too. I find that if I use one of my chargriller baskets full of coals and wood that the smoker will easily maintain a 250*-260* temp. I have actually done some ribs like that and they were wonderful. I do use the sfb alot but I use my WSM more than anything.

Yep. I've got the side fire box. Use it rarely. There is enough room in the CG to cook indirect with the fire and cooking all done in the big box. IF I really feel the need to do low and slow (as I do most of the time) I use the BSKD and oak. Charcoal is used when needed. Straight oak is my preference.

Does the Atkins diet let you eat those 1500 calorie salads ??

Actually its 1550! :lol::lol::lol: No really, Atkins encourage healthy fats like olive oil, cheeses, etc. This salad is big but it was my only veggie intake for the day. There is olive oil on it but I added some bleu cheese dressing for some extra flavor - thats allowed from time to time and I luvs bleu cheese! :-D

That Looks Like Good Eats to Me Tony!! I Loves Bleu Cheese Dressing Also.I Kinda got Hooked on the O'Charley's brand when My Daughter lived in Tennessee. Walmart there carried it,I found it here at Kroger's Once and they dont carry it anymore It was the best I have ever tasted too.
The O'Charley's Ranch Dressing is Great too.
