    Some photos from yesterday's 12 hour bbq cooking class

    so, vBulletin is messing with me. I typed like 3 pages of text, and when I hit 'post' it removed it all for me. Thanks...


    Yesterday I taught a bbq class (private event). 8 cookers in total. It was a full day event with a TON of food. But I guided them through it all day.

    We did:
    • Brisket, served with creamed corn, bourbon beans, sauerkraut
    • Beef ribs served with blue cheese
    • pork ribs two ways (Texas style and Johnny Trigg style)
    • Iberico baby backs (Texas style and Johnny Trigg style)
    • Smash burgers, served with truffle mayo, cheddar, caramelized onion, lettuce and some other goodies
    • Butternut pumpkins, caveman grilled, served with grated parmesan
    • Whole cauliflower, curry coated and smoked. Served with a cool yoghurt/honey dip
    • Pork belly hot n fast with popped skin (cracklin's)
    • Pork belly low n slow, triple glazed with syrup, served on pumpernickel with apple sauce
    • ABTs or jalapeno poppers, with some habaneros too
    • Tiger prawns and scallops with a lemon juice/oil/fish sauce dressing, served with avocado, cilantro and chopped dry roasted peanuts.
    The lineup

      Beef ribs, ready to serve. I could pull the bones out with one hand. Just like butta! Served with blue cheese.

      The brisket?
      I wrapped it in butcher's paper after 5 hours, then continued smoking until tender. I showed them how to 'walk the brisket' with their hands to tell when it started to give. Let it rest in the oven at 50° C for 2.5 hours. By then I was gone, so I left them with the brisket as they had a 12 person dinner. But before I left them I checked it, and it was soft and jiggly like jello.


      Key takeaways? Well, I realized yesterday I felt real comfortable doing this all day. Whatever happens, I know exactly how to handle it, workaround it, wrap or not wrap et.c. depending on time. With 8 different grills that aren't mine, and a new group of people, this is my turf, my game. Pretty awesome feeling.

      Alright, no grilling today, just relaxing. Have a good one y'all!

      When a feat like this comes as naturally to you as breathing, Henrik , you know you're doing exactly what you were meant to do. Not everyone is lucky enough to find that niche. I'm happy for you that you have. Enjoy the ride. You may have to quit your day job, if you haven't done so already.

      Those photos are a fine testament to the crowd-pleasers that you cooked. Congrats on a job well done.

        Thank you very much, fzxdoc, I haven't thought of it that way, but yes. I thoroughly enjoy doing this. Hopefully I can quit my day job in a not too distant future.

      Sir you can hold your head up high. You are able to pull this off with confidence and skill because you are in your happy zone.
      Your passion shines through in your food. Those people are very fortunate to have someone with your ability teaching them the right way to do things.
      Fantastic.

        Thank you very much. My passion definitely shines through, I've heard that comment from someone else too, and didn't think of it like that at first, but it just feels right, and I think you hit the head on the nail there. I just enjoy it so much, and people pick up on that.

        Thank you Ron. Yes, I'm feeling good. Relaxing today, planning for the next event in a few weeks. Life is good.

      Awesome work Henrik. Although it may not actually be work if it’s that enjoyable.
      I wish I had your confidence to pull something like this off. But I’m happy just being a backyard so called Pitmaster. 😁

        Thanks Steve. Being a backyard pit master, and having a kick-butt smoker to boot, ain't all that bad either. And you know your way around a smoker for sure.

        Any chance of sharing the secret to Pork Belly hot and fast? how big was that piece-cook time, temp, seasonings?
        That looks delicious.

        This is so awesome. I would love to attended one of these classes. The thing that I love about this is that you are making other foods, other than just ribs or brisket. You throw in other stuff to show people that grilling and BBQ can be made with almost anything. Very cool perspective. It just helps the whole thing grow, and that is awesome.

        BTW, the setting you have is gorgeous too. I love all of that exposed granite, So cool. Reminds me a lot of northern Minnesota, part of the reason we have so many Swedes around these parts!

          Thanks! And thanks very much for seeing that perspective, mixing up, or rather, applying traditional bbq to new foods, and finding new fun flavor combos. That is where the fun is!
          I've been to many states in the US, but not Minnesota. Need to visit soon.
