    First cook with the Vortex. Baked potatoes and bacon wrapped skinless boneless chicken thighs on the grill. Turned out yummy.

      How long did it take to cook the potatoes?

      Troutman - I cooked the potatoes for 45 mins (a wild guess on my part) and the bacon-wrapped thighs for 30 mins. The Vortex heated the Kettle up to 500 degF at the start of the cook and ended up at 470ish when the cook was done. The inside of the potatoes were nice and fluffy like I like them but the skin was a bit too crunchy, almost charred.

      Great cook and I grew up in Poway. Just took my kids to the hamburger factory a while back for their first time. Memories brother!

      Pork and Tomatillo Stew. I used the following recipe, except I pre-cooked a pork shoulder roast in the smoker and added it at the end of the cook...



      I forgot to get a pic of the finished stew. It was delicious

        Smoked a couple pork tenderloins on the Grilla OG last night. 225 for ~1 1/2. Wrapped in foil for 15 minutes once they hit 145. No fancy pictures, just meat on a cutting board.

        Used a commercial seasoning for the first time last night. So Good! SAZON!

        Although this is nothing special, I thought I would toss out there that I did the Fried Chicken Recipe Done On The Grill from the free side and it was great. Followed the recipe to include the MSG. It also pleased my wife in that I did not "spray the whole kitchen with grease" like I usually do (Not true. I've never splattered onto more than two walls).

          That's a great way to deep fry. After years at looking at dedicated deep fryers, special high-BTU standalone burners, etc. all in the effort to keep the mess and smell of deep frying out of the kitchen, I found Meathead's method. I used it for over a year until I bought my outdoor gas range with 30K BTU burners and a wok, which I now almost always use for deep frying.

          But I could have deep fried on the gasser a la Meathead forever, it works so well. Nice to see you like it too.

        Still playing around with the SV for eggs. SV to a soft boil, then poached, served on some of my sourdough of course.

          RichardCullip I did 145 for 45 minutes. With an asterik, the first soft boiled I did, I wish it might had been a bit more in the white. So the last 10 minutes roughly, I bumped it up ton148.

        2 peas in a kettle.... goes something like that.

        Pork and Pastrami.

        The bone in pork belly was a friends who asked me to cook for him. He'd tasted my "ribs" over the weekend and bought this already scored piece for me to work. Didn't cut it into ribs for fear that some of the meat might fall off. Has been instructed never to buy scored belly again.

        I was hesitant when I found some cured brisket as it looked rather thin. 2" at the one end and 1" the other. Was on special and prepared to take my chances.

          Red Man it wasn't cured but pickled I think. It came vac sealed and there was pickle spices on the meat.
          I wasn't sure myself and did not brine the meat. Took it straight out of the bag loaded it with pepper and smoked it. It was salty but not overly. Was actually very tasty. Know that you mention it was not cured. If you look at the first pic not sure if you can tell how dark or grey-ish the meat is in comparison to normal raw colour. Will add another pic above for you to look at.

          Red Man was at the butchery today and asked about the "pickle" or "brine" they used for the brisket. After speaking to a few people behind the counter the best answer I got was that they buy a pre-mixed pickle and just add water according to the instructions.

We also try to avoid taking hens, so usually the fish we clean have no eggs in them. A guy in our group mis IDed this one, so we got some roe. treesmacker

        Used some of yalls advice from another thread, still did things a little different... for better or worse.

        3lbs rancho gordo beans, onion, Chile powder, garlic powder, and some Mexican oregano in a pan and on the MAK for about 20 hours total at 170-180 until I put the beef on.

        I wanted to use pork, and should have just ommited the meat altogether instead of trying to force the wrong meat just to have some.

        Anyway, beef went on at 225 until 128 IT, then wrapped in foil to rest in the oven.

        Ramped the beans up to 375 for about an hour until the beans were tender.

        Other than using the beef, my biggest mistake was the rancho gordo oregano. The stuff looks like pot, it's the most pungent oregano I've ever used.. it's really good, I just should have adjusted the measurement down for the recipe I was looking at. It kinda over powers everything.

        BUT on a positive the beans are still good and I have a lot of shaved roast beef for sandwiches.

          What beef cut did you use. Topside? Looks fabulously good. Love me Hot English Mustard. Nothing opens up the nasal passage like it does.

          holehogg I thought it was bottom round, but it may have been top round. I just grabbed the biggest hunk of beef with the least fat I saw at the store.
