• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Have a few folks coming over later today for some food and to hang out. Nice cool morning and should be a perfect day out. Lucky to be inland and away from Matthew (hope everyone in that mess is safe). Got a few different things rolling today. A 15lb corned beef I picked up from RD along with a couple butts, rib tips, sausage (mac n cheese pork and italian beef) and then deboned sausage stuffed wings.

The wings I'm most excited to try :-D. I've deboned before, but never stuffed them so we'll see how they turn out :twitch:. Here is what's up so far.....

Fired up around 7:30am and sat for a bit enjoying the morning










Here's all that will go on


Butts and brisket went on around 8:30. Most of the pork will get sealed for a friend later on.









Was close to 380 when they hit the pit and I let it fall back close to 300-325 where I normally keep it. This is the fire size that had it at 388. I like starting super hot to get all that metal warmed up and then it just hums along



Happy Saturday smoking. I'll update as things go along.
 
Excellent way to start a morning!

Enjoy your cook, Jason. :-D
 
Looks like a great morning so far!

Very interested in your "sausage stuffed wings..." With what flavor (for lack of a better term) sausage did you stuff the wings?

I used some of my ground up corned pork sausage I made a while back. Love the corned pork :mrgreen:. Here are the picks I took yesterday when I did all the work.


Ready for de-boning (giggity)


I think there were 21 or 22. Once I get in a groove it probably takes about 1min per wing. I wouldn't want to do that all day. Hardest part is getting over the section where the drum connects to the flat without putting holes in the skin. A few holes this go round, but decent enough. Here they are with the bones out


Stuffing them. You could say I had to finger my sausage into the wing :twitch:..............sorry.......I'll leave now............:icon_blush:




Here they are all done
 
Nice, man! Can't say I've had corned pork before, but I'm sure it's tasty.

Deboning the wing flats looks tedious, but I'll bet those stuffed wings turn out nicely.

Thanks for the pics and such!
 
Nice start to the day. I must have missed the invitation in all the excitement.
 
Hey man. Looks like it's been a great start to a Saturday. So, I've no experience with a pit like that. How long does it take to get up to your desired temp, and why do you prefer the higher cook temps? I cook on Weber kettles mostly and a uds and normally run them around 250-280ish. What have you found with the different temps? I was talking to a grillfella a while back and he mentioned the Shirley pits. I haven't heard of them. Thoughts?
Thx, Travis

I cook hotter to get things done faster and it's about as simple as the. Same great result. On a smaller pit or on a kettle the food might have to be closer to the actual fire so you might have to watch things a little more. Shirley pits are amazing.

Here's exactly how I light the pit. With a weed burner it is ready to cook in a couple of minutes :biggrin1:.

Panned/foiled after 3hrs. The corned beef really plumped up :-D. Plan is to eat around 5-5:30'ish so won't have anything else on until 2 or so. I'd guess a couple hours for the big meats to finish. I put a little beef broth in the corned beef pan to steam a little.


 
What IT do you take the Pastrami to?
Inquiring minds want to know.
 
Is it done Yet?
