      Last of the turkey went into my wife's tortilla soup; didn't have quite enough left for a pot pie. Delish!

        More tortilla soup, like it!

      Dinner tonight, brought my second attempt at my parmesan crusted Cod. Renee says. Don’t make a third, just repeat.

        barelfly. Absolutely, I owe you this one.

      Beef back ribs, dry brined, seasoned with homemade beef rub, smoked on Kamado Joe. Came out pretty nice.

      Reminds me of a lyric from a tune by the great James McMurtry called Hurricane Party: "The hurricane party's windin' down and we're all waitin' for the end / I don't want another drink, I only want that last one again."

      Looks delicious!!

        Hadn’t done a steak in a while so I thought I’d reverse sear a Costco NY Strip. I haven’t used my SnS insert too much in the past, until I got the SNS Kettle recently. What I found that works best for a reverse sear is to use no more than 1/2 a chimney of lit coals. I placed a big chunk of hickory in the bottom of the SnS off to one side. When the coals are about 3/4 ashed over, I’ll dump them in the SnS. The reason I put the wood chunk at one end of the SnS, is so you won’t have too many flames in the middle for the sear part of the steak.

        One thing I also like about the SNS Kettle, is the hinged part of the cooking grate, which opens up over the SnS insert. I can now add my coals to the insert, without having to remove the whole grate, very nice!

        Anyway, I got a great sear on my medium rare Strip. Served with sautéed mushrooms and red onion. Turned out hunky dory Serving plate was stolen from my warehouse.

        Crapmaster 2000 update...
        Brought the warhorse inside for the winter tonight. It's Wisconsin and I have a very leaky door to the porch and I don'y own the door or the place so I have no say.
        She's had a bad summer and the task master that I am didn't care "just light and cook crapbag!" all summer long.
        So! This winter I'm going to do a teardown and rehab. Anyone interested in following the many cocktails the rebuild is going to take? It'll probably take about 3 posts Maybe 4 methinks.
        On the upside, wounded and limping the $38 grill did a fine job, I am impressed.
        Happy winter to all north of the Mason Dixon line!!
        Those of you that are south, it's not so bad

        So I'll start off this post by saying: I've never been to Perry's. I've never had their food or their famous pork chop. But I've read about it and seen their website.

        Costco sells rack of pork around the holidays. The price is reasonable and it's something different from the norm. I had Perry's pork chop in mind for this season's rack.

        2+ chops from a rack. In hindsight, I should have tried to have that first chop with the large spinalis in one of the three bone chops. The racks are frenched, poorly. I like to clean up the bones. From photos, Perry's leaves more of the rib meat on. Not possible with the way this rack was prepared, so nice looking bones it is.

          gboss at my old job (I used to be partners in a whole animal butcher shop) I remember pork crown roasts needing about 8-10 bones to really form that "crown". So big family gathering is needed. And those bone lengths look perfect, imho.

          SheilaAnn I imagine that you had more flexibility at that type of operation to leave more bones on the shoulder and sirloin ends. I've never seen an 11 bone rack, but I can see how that could be long enough to work. It seems like that would be a much more manageable size for a crown roast compared with 2ea 8 bone racks of the commodity pork.

          I am picking up two, ten bone pork racks from Carlton Farms, Oregon today. I was looking for something to help me decide how to go about preparing them. This is a keeper! Looks great. The breed of pork they have is a cross between Yorkshire and Duroc.

        How it started/How it's going. Mango Habenero and Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce. This is great, very fruit forward but a real kick of heat as well. I'll be making this again. I added some Xanthan gum to thicken it up a bit and also pasteurized it so it will be shelf stable and won't continue to ferment. Anyone want some hot sauce?

          … For eating experience, next time I will debone the thighs and legs. Should have put a bit more of the good sauce on the plate. First time doing this, will work on this. It. But, I loved the SV addition to this cook.

          Sous vide-ing chicken brings great peace of mind, since you can serve it both juicy AND pasteurized.

          I've been leery of adding marinade to the sous vide bag fearing it would leach out the moisture with its salt content and become diluted by the excess chicken juices. But your dish looks so fantastic that I have to set those concerns aside and give it a go. BTW, cloves were an interesting addition to the marinade. Not sure I would have thought of that. A warm spice like that adds a richness.

          Did some beef chuck ribs from Creekstone today, taking advantage of a light calendar. 4-bone, 3.25-lb rack dry brined overnight and doused with a beef rub I've been honing in on, and I think this is the final confirmation (more on that elsewhere), a couple hours before going in the smoker at 250. Went to 203, held and rested awhile until the baked taters were done. My lovely bride made us some salad. Stupendous! Super tender, super tasty. Click image for larger version

            ¡Pato! ¡Estupendo!

          Kind of late, but for TG I did two 10 lb turkeys, in order to maximize number of wings, legs, and to facilitate temperature control. Spatchcocked both. Made the gravy a week before and froze it. Used the Clint AR recipe with the citrus zest, herbs, garlic salt rub, and the citrus herb butter under the skin.

          Baked one in the oven, one started on the 22" Weber with orchard cuttings (pear? apple? cherry?) on top of briquettes, using the S&S with the water tank. Only got the temp up to the 300 range, and when the inside turkey was finished, the deep breast temp on the Weber turkey was only 1000 F. The color was excellent, however.

          So, the Weber turkey went into the oven at 350 until breast registered 150, then pulled it. My wife and one daughter, who have previously voiced their dislike of smoked meat 😱, both preferred the smoked over the standard.

          Conclusion: Smoked was much more flavorful, interesting. But, I need a 26" Weber if I am going to do this much more. We need Weber to make a 26" Performer model.

          Our son-in-law made us pineapple mint juleps.

            Very nice! I did the same recipe with as tasty but not as purty results. And I agree on the 26 - it's tough to fit a bird like that on the standard Weber!

            barelfly I think more charcoal would risk burning or overcooking the part of the turkey closest to the coals? It was pretty full. (need the 26"!) And, I can't see trying to turn that bird halfway, although it's possible.
            Jim White Richard Chrz The Julep was delicious. Note the silicon mat under the Weber, as I am cooking on a wooden deck.
            Caffeine88 I remember seeing your cook with that recipe, looked delicious. I had about 5 chunks of wood on top of the briquettes.

            Yes, you need to do this more often and having a 26' er is a must.
            No brainer and a beautifully done bird Sir.
