I pureed a pound of Big Jims with the tomatillos and diced a pound of "hot" Hatch chilies that I bought at my grocery store last year. I didn't think they were hot at the time, maybe my tolerance is down, but this turned out hot! But very good too. I'll be enjoying this for the next few days.

This from Saturday - the plan was get the brisket started early to be ready by 5. Then life intervened. Not only did I get a late start, I knew I couldn't babysit the LSG and feed it logs all day.
So I adapted. I separated the point and flat to cook faster. And fortunately I had a full bag of FOGO Super Premium - so I filled the LSG charcoal basket with the biggest chunks plus some peach and guava sticks from last year's pruning.
Got the brisket on by 9 a.m. and pulled it to rest at 4 p.m. I had to reload the basket about 1/3 full when it burned down early afternoon, but other than that the Fireboard showed absolute steady 285 the whole day with the vent open about an inch.
All's well that ends well.

CaptainMike I've only used it a few times since I got my LSG, but when I need it it really pays for itself

Thanks for the post and reply, I was on the fence with that add on, but might have to pony up and order it.

Well, yesterday we were feeding my daughter and her husband for dinner, and it felt like a good time to break out the good ole Weber rotisserie! No grease fire worries with charcoal grills, and I love being able to cook some veggies in a drip pan under the chicken. Also baked some bread to go with it... I wasn't happy with the crumb of the bread, and didn't want to be judged for it, so no plated pictures...
The thing I love about the Weber kettle rotisserie is that you have SO much space, there is no worry about even trussing something like a 4 pound chicken. Just let the legs and wings fly free!

RonB no, I've not done the poke test recently. I was on a schedule to have dinner on the table at 6pm Sunday evening, so the bread had to be baked around 5pm, or not at all. It was softer when warm, but is a little dense to my tastes when I used it for a PBJ yesterday!I'll certainly try again and keep your advice in mind.

I of course love smoked meats of all kinds, but also like quick cooks like chicken portions, pork tenderloins, steak and fish. Really into cooking of all kinds.
My outdoor kitchen has a Lone Star Grillz Adjustable and it is wonderful. There also is a Pit Boss 5 Burner Ultimate Griddle and a Pit Boss Copperhead pellet grill.
There is an outdoor fire pit that has grilling capability and limited Santa Maria-style grill raising and lowering.
FireBoard 2 Pro
Anova Precision Cooker
Still having fun with my new Anova Sous Vide setup. Ran some bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs at 165 for four hours. They got a little salt and some Flatiron Pepper Dark and Smoky Rub. (That stuff is wonderful and with no salt or sugar in it, it seems perfect for SV!) Chilled and held overnight. Got some nice broth for using after diluting, microwaving and filtering the purge.
I knew I wanted to do a red curry. But I couldn't decide whether I wanted Indian flavor or Thai. So I kind of fused them. It turned out much better than I deserved for throwing just about everything I could think of in there. The chicken was the most tender I've ever eaten.
PS I had a little of that yummy broth left over. I put it in the fridge. I started to get a piece of tape and label it, but I decided "Thigh Purge" would just look too wrong. It's unlabeled...

Hamburgers last night (with grilled Jimmy Nardello and 'Fooled You' Jalapeños). Blue cheese, caramelized onions, garden tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, fresh sweet onion slices. My wife uses ketchup, but being from Chicago, I only use mayo and dijon mustard.
We tried Kenji Lopez-Alt's recent NYT technique on grilling thin burgers.
The 6" burgers really did shrink down to fit the buns! Worked well.
ps, I like my burgers open faced, so that more meat hits my taste buds. Or at least, that's what I tell myself?
Golden Hour light doesn't hurt.
