      Looks really good

    Two racks of Iberico pork ribs dry brined overnight. I rubbed one rack with pepper and a tiny bit of sugar to help with the bark. And the other I rubbed with some Memphis Dust. Put them on the Pitbarrel for a little over 2 hrs.

      Aahhh. Dr. Pepper I see your reference above. You're not kidding about the price, but wow, that is tempting.

      Dr. Pepper Thanks! They were some of the best ribs I've had. They took such a short period of time because of the small size and because I cooked them on the Pitbarrel. I tested the temp once and it runs between 270-330. That seems to be the temp others have reported as well. Oh gosh! Uhhh.. Id have to say the salt and pepper had the slight edge on these. However it was a close call. Haha I'm glad I can contribute to making a better product.

      Caffeine88 Heres where I ordered them from.

      Iberico pork is world class pork you'll find in the world's top restaurants. Now you can buy the tastiest Iberico Baby Back Pork Ribs here at Meat N'Bone.

    What Saturday night's dinner looked like.

    My first cook on my new Pit Boss vertical Pro pellet smoker. Absolutely thrilled with it!!! Will write up a review if anybody's interested.

    The all-time most moist ribs ever; excellent keilbasa, grilled the cornbread on my gas grill for a little char. Also, first attempt at octopus. Smoked it for a coupla hours, grilled it for a little char, let it swim in a combo of 2:1 olive oil to lemon juice and fresh chopped greek oregano from the garden. Tasty but not cooked long enough (tough).

    Any suggestions out there for tender octopus? Thanks.

      smokyYank go to the channels page, Top Left on the banner. Scroll down to Pellet Cookers. If Pit Boss has a sub-thread write it there. If it does not then use the sub-channel "Other" and write your review.

      @smokyYank
      There is not a sub-channel for Pit Boss, so your review would go here.
      For discussion of other brands of pellet cookers not listed above, or general cross-brand pellet cooker discussion. <b>For discussion of pellets themselves, please see the Fuels Discussion channel.</b>

      Looking forward to seeing what do and don't like about your cooker.

    Couple of pounds of my best pulled pork. 3 minutes in microwave it’s steaming in the bag. Carolina mustard sauce.

        smokenoob ecowper Caffeine88 Thank you. I appreciate it. Caffeine88 Since I cooked it at a higher temp on a pelletgrill the smoke flavor was mellow and not too overpowering at all. Really good!

      Salmon and another spin on the Chinois for mashed potatoes.

        I did a SV on this salmon, then the pan sear. Personally at least on this piece of salmon, I much prefer not SV, I may try it one more
        time, but, both my wife and I both think that I can cook this better without SV. I’m most excited about this chinois and mashed potatoes, incredibly smooth potatoes. I think it would be a great way to do a twice bake. I’m also realizing I like the act and senses of cooking, and SV is really boring to me, guess, I can always use it for eggs.

        I agree with SV and salmon. While I can make it really buttery, it lacks something. It really doesn’t work well (for me) from frozen. What I marvel at, is that your photo show a beautiful, in tact piece with a great top. I don’t get that with SV.

        I have control issues that seem to work well with cooking. Lol

      Tis the season for squash enchiladas. Thinking about smoking the squash to add some intensity to the flavor. Thoughts?

        I don’t know. If it is a hit you might not want to. If you "very lightly" smoked it, it might be good. I am worried it might overpower what you are trying to do. I would love you to try it and report back. Just make sure it is your "extra" batch.

        Yes! Love that you serve it with radish! My experience in New Mexico, posole doesn’t get served with radish. But when I’ve traveled to southern NM or El Paso, TX - the way you have it presented is how i only see it served! Excellent cook!

        barelfly There's people that serve pozole without radish? Radish and diced onion seem to be the only constants in toppings for pozole, as far as I can tell.

        mnavarre when I cook it, no, I don’t serve with the trio of toppings. And I learned this from my grandparents. But, again, this is Northern New Mexico style posole. This is how they served it at their restaurant for the years they owned it and my grandfather’s sister prior to him. Regardless, it’s a wonderful meal and with the cold weather we have this week, I may need to make a batch of this up!

      Beef tenderloin today, our friend Lady Di bought a whole tenderloin on sale at Costco and I cut it up today, the tenderloin weighed 7.2 # and we got 6.1# of meat from it. I smoked a 2# roast today and it turned out pretty good. I used my Traeger pellet grill but it went out when the meat was at 129F so I finished it on the gas grill. It was 149F when our sides were done and everyone thought it was perfectly cooked. We had two people who like their beef med rare and two people who like their beef medium so this was a good comprise. This was our thanksgiving meal, much better than Turkey.

        Thank you, I should have mentioned I seasoned with Meatheads cow crust.

      I bought a spiralizer attachment for the KitchenAid and gave it its inaugural spin tonight. Lamb and pork meatballs and zoodles in a garlic-butter sauce.

        How were the zoodles? Did they stand up to the cooking? I’ve wondered about getting one of these, but haven’t.

        They were good, barelfly I definitely didn't cook them a lot so they were al dente. Now that I have this thing I'll do more zoodles and I want to try sweet potato too.

        I made a batch of dough from chef Marc Vetri's "Mastering Pizza" and cooked it up on my BGE. I've made quite a bit of pizza and this batch was my personal best.

        The dough is Vetri's 70% hydration Neapolitan, and also used his simple sauce (just crushed tomatoes, oil and basil) along with a bit of shredded mozz and chunks of fresh mozz. It went into the grill around 650 for about 4.5 minutes. I don't have pics of all 6 but the best ones went in around 700 and cooked for about 4 minutes.

        In the past, I'd used Kenji's NY pizza dough pretty regularly, but didn't have a pizza peel until this cook (I'd been placing it on pizza stone in the grill, on a sheet of aluminum foil with some oil). This time I used a proper peel, with some semolina underneath. I think this made a giant difference, as the bottom essentially fries in oil when using foil, versus cooking properly when fed directly to the stone from the peel.

        And yes, I eat pizza with wine!
