I made the best burgers I have ever made tonight!!

First, my made my own buns. I used Brian Lagerstrom's Perfect Bun Recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgOPS52e59E

This recipe uses an entire riced russet potato and some dough conditioner. It is hard to describe just how good this bun was. It is phenomenal!

I then took some 80/20 ground chuck and rounded them out into four equal patties, about half a pound in size. I then seasoned each very liberally with Meat Church's (Matt Pittman's) Holy Cow rub, which is a pepper-forward Texas-style beef rub. It is my favorite, without question.

Onto the pellet grill -- my Chimp -- they went at 250 F! It takes about an hour to cook these....and when they hit 145 F I placed some cheddar cheese on top. I kicked the heat up to 275 F and about ten minutes later they were all at 155 F and the cheese was perfectly melted.

Here is how I do my burger, from the bottom up: bottom bun with mayo (Hellmann's), romaine lettuce slice, burger w/cheese, red onion, dill pickles (fresh pack HEB), Trappy's pickled jalapeno slices, then top bun with Whataburger mustard, because Texas.

YUM!!!

Here are the buns out of the oven and with a light brushing of melted butter and a sprinkling of sesame seed.

And here is my burger stacked up and ready to be devoured!

Air Fryer Asian Sticky Wings

Cooked the wings at 325° for 20 minutes then poured out the chicken fat that gathered in my air fryer basket. Then finished them off at 450° for 6 minutes. So crispy, so good.

For the sauce I started with 1/2 cup of the above and added 2 tablespoons of sugar and reduced by half. So easy, so delicious.

Put the new 8qt D.O. to use making a tomato based chuck roast. Cooked for 3 hours at 275 and it probed liked butter. Shredded it into the sauce and served over some pasta. Really had a great taste. SWMBO is fairly picky so I couldn’t put onions which I would have liked. I did seem to be missing something but we are not big on many vegetables so it is hard to come up with something. Potatoes didn’t seem like it would be right.

2.5 inch ribeyes dry brined with kosher salt and big, bad beef rub then sous vide 131F/4.5 hours. Into an ice bath for a while and the internal temp was down to about 60F. Reseasoned and put on the old Smokey offset with some oak and mesquite for about 45-1 hour. When temp was about 120, added a little more wood and left the lid off to make some heat. Moved to the heat and flipped frequently. Pulled around 135. Very nice.

I smoked some ribeye and I stuffed sausage with cream cheese and a four cheese blend wrapped in bacon...

I used my color coordinated orange trays tonight...

Everything was\is delicious. I really like the sausages.

Venison au poivre (I use bourbon instead of congac), scalloped potatoes, and sautéed mushrooms.

Did three racks of Costco baby backs - they are so juicy and meaty! 3-2-1 with no sauce; just some margarine, honey, and brown sugar added during the wrap. And some scalloped potatoes and cole slaw.

I had this wonderful idea the other morning - a rib meat and scalloped potato breakfast burrito! Just baby back meat, scalloped potatoes, egg, Velveeta, and a tortilla; no seasoning needed - enough already on the meat and potatoes. Oh, sooo good!
