    Chicken on the pooper. Spatched a big ol' chicken, and gave it a good shake of Meatheads poultry. Went on the pooper for set for 180° to give it a touch of smokiness, then finished at 375°. Took a little longer to finish than expected, but this was one big bird. For reference, that is a half sheet pan it is sitting on. Tried to weigh it, but my OXO scale tops out at five pounds.

      You sure they didn't slip you turkey? That thing is a dinosaur. And looks delish.

    Today, Judges, we have prepared Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs seasoned with Megachurch Holy Voodoo rub.

      Guilty as charged!

    So I'll call my first low and slow on the Primo XL a success. I ended up tossing the beef shoulder because the meat was really dry and tough. Our last half cow has been hit and miss on the cuts.

    Controlling temp was a little challenging at first but I got it to stay between 250-270 for almost the entire cook.

      How much you pay for that? Has to be over $2000! Ha! The steal of the century and it is already paying off. Note - I cook on my smoker at 225 but cannot really expect anything less than 250 on my Vision grill. You will learn its’ sweet spot and it will just go forever at it.

    Low and slow all day on a chuck roast in the oven, braised in some red wine, finished with the left over potatoes from this morning, and the smoked potatoes from last night. Oh the beans had some fresh lard in them, just because I could.

      Tonight was a Chinese food night. Char siu spare ribs cooked on the PBC and served with some garlic baby bok choy and some homemade pork and chive potstickers.

        Wow. Looks delish. Nice work.

      Pork tenderloins don't make it to my grill often enough.

      Both got a healthy rub down with kosher salt. I sliced one and made a roulade with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh feta, toasted pine nuts, and chopped rosemary, parsley, oregano, and thyme. Assuming the roulade might totally fail, I left the other whole and used the same herb mix with olive oil. A reverse sear took about 25 min on the cool side to get to 130, and a few more on the hot side to sear it get to 145 internal.

      Juicy... Wow. Yeah, they were delicious!

      We put it together with another loaf of Lisa's amazing bread, and her take on a really spectacular veggie dish called briam (layered red potato, red onion, zucchini with oreg, parsley, and rosemary). Yeah, I never heard of it either, but it's amazing!

        fzxdoc A tag team dinner is a fun date night!

      So, today was DUCK DAY 2021.

      I ordered 3 fresh ducks to give a try in my KBQ, although I’ve never made duck before. I rubbed them for Peking duck and smoked them up. Made a sauce, and an orange sauce that was unrelated but tasty. Served in a scallion crepe that was fantastic! Could have rendered a bit more of the duck fast but overall, very very tasty, friends and SWMBO were impressed (and went fir seconds!)

        Dr. Pepper Thanks! That is a pretty glorious meal, which I'd love to try. Truth told - my wife wants the dumpling recipe! We had them in Prague several years ago and her eyes lit up when I showed her your pix :-)

        Caffeine88 I think this is the recipe I used, except that I make a roll out of the dough, and then cut them into slices and steam in our steam/convection oven. I have used other recipes as well, but I avoided the recipes that call for old bread, which is apparently part of traditional Bohemian and Polish dumplings.

        That looks delicious!

      A small wing cook & a single butt smoked on my new grilla grills Silverbac this past week.

      I'm happy with how even the heat is. 375 for about an hour and 15 minutes. Skin was crispy.

      This was an overnight cook at ~225. It was very good but the family says not quite as good as when cooked with charcoal on my kettle or kamado.

        OOOOOO. Looks delish!

      Southern Fried Smothered Pork Chops. The chops were brined overnight in buttermilk and spices. Then dipped in plain flour, then egg wash then seasoned flour and pan fried to color then finished in a 225F oven to 145F. The onion gravy was thickened with some of the same seasoned flour. The liquid was provided by homemade chicken stock and half and half (I couldn't get heavy cream the last couple of days.) Sides were mashed potatoes (instant) and Caesar salad with Kenji's dressing. I thought the chops were great. Barbara didn't love them. She said there was some flavor there she didn't like. Not sure if it was the chop or the gravy. She makes Chef John's smothered chops using medallions of tenderloin instead of chops. It's very good, but I wanted to try the southern fried ones because that was my first introduction to smothered pork chops about 40 years ago at a soul food restaurant in lower Manhattan.

        Looks great to me!

      Leftovers from Friday’s fiesta. I offered up traditional Americanized taco toppings of cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, etc. AND toppings for On The Border copycat brisket tacos. I preferred the bbq version with a jalapeño bbq sauce. Friday night was freshly grated jack versus bagged shredded.

        So after the previous cook posts, here's mine. Feltmans dog done in Foodi on grill mode. Cains Beer Battered fries. Closest I've found to McDonald's. Dog on steamed bun, spicy mustard and sauerkraut.

        In fairness back from Vermont this afternoon, weather stinks and I'm lazy. Based on weather this week not much outdoor cooking going to happen.

            Wow, this looks great, Richard.

          I did another stir-fry experiment tonight. Changed up some things.

          This time i dusted the chicken thigh pieces in cornstarch, which helped to brown them. It's a bit of a wash as when covered with the dark sauce, you can't see that. I also changed the sauce a bit. This time I just used 1/2 tbl of sugar, 1/4 cup of chicken broth, 2 tbl soy sauce, 2 tbl soy paste, and 2 tbl oyster sauce. The oyster sauce adds just a little something different. I left out the cornstarch in the sauce, thinking the soy paste would be enough to thicken it enough, and it did provide a little viscosity, but it really does need some corn starch.

          Everything else I essentially did as before.....cooked the chicken, removed the chicken, and stir-fried broccoli, onions, and mushrooms. I added 12 chilis de arbol (six whole, six cut up into small pieces). Yum....perfect amount of heat. I then added some garlic at the last minute, then added the noodles and chicken back in and then the sauce.

          I'm getting there. I think I will dispense with the mushrooms. They get squishy although they taste fantastic. (And at $6 for oz for basic whole white mushrooms, also a bit pricey!) I really like how the broccoli turns out. I do not like mushy broccoli.

          Good stuff.
