Keep It Simple Smartee!!

[fuzzydaddy]

Making me hungry this morning! Looks great!

[Spinaker]

I miss HYVEE. I can't wait till they come up here and take over! Cub Foods is the worst. HV is already moving into southern MN. It's only a matter of time. Ham Salad anyone?

[mgaretz]

Orange chicken, from a box from Costco. Made the chicken in the air fryer - it came out great - nice and crispy and not greasy. Served with fried rice (from the previous night's leftover basamati) and stir fried bok choy.

[fuzzydaddy]

I love orange chicken and this looks really good.

Snake River Farms American Wagyu Tri Tip. You pay for this stuff, but man is it good! I get a deal on it at 14.99/lb. Its a nice treat but the Costco prime grade tri-tips are definitely my favorite when considering price. Wrapped some asparagus in bacon, added some BBBR and sauced them up. Excellent!

Tri Tips were rubed with BBBR and used S'n'S with the new Grill Grates for the SNS.​​​​​​​

[Spinaker]

Hell Yes!! I've got family in SF and SD, so I do make it out there from time to time. I'd love to rip some tri-tips over the coals, among other things. smokinfatties

[smokinfatties]

Spinaker we've got great tri tips, beef etc. but the real show stopper here in CA are the greens! ;-) Let me know if you make it down to SD, I have family down there too!

[Ernest]

Fantastic!

[smokinfatties]

SRF American Wagyu Flatiron. Marbling was INSANE. Flavor was excellent. Added some BBBR. Wife took my truck which had my SnS and grill grates in the back of it so had to make do. No sexy grill marks but it was Epic! First time trying one of these. Worth it!

[Ernest]

I'd eat that beef RAW!!

[David Parrish]

Man that looks AWESOME!

Just purchased a GMG Jim Bowie a few months back. Cooked on it several times and loving it. Here's a brisket cook below. I was worried about getting enough smoke from the pellet grill, but I have been really impressed. Looking for any tips on how to firm up the bark on a brisket or pork butt when you wrap without drying out. I unwrap and put them back on after a rest in feaux cambro but tends to start to dry out before firming up. would love to get the best of both worlds with wrapped moisture and unwrapped bark.

[awilbur86]

Brisket

[bbqoaf]

Gaw-jus brisket!

[smokinfatties]

Try butcher paper if you havent yet. Add a little beef broth when wrapping to keep moisture. With briskets, I also spray again after taking off to re-hydrate, and this usualy doesnt compromise bark

[awilbur86]

Also tried Porchetta on my BGE. Everything went well but would def go lighter on the fennel next time (or none at all)

1st butt on the stickburner... Part II.

After smoking the butt 6~ hours Sunday night, I cooled it, and put it in the fridge. It was right in the stall, IT ~ 158°. Pics above in this thread.
I used approx 3 chimneys of Kingsford Hickory, with 4-5 smallish chunks of hickory throughout the cook.

Monday night, I smoked it an additional 6 hours +, using KBB, and several small pieces of apple. I was only able to get the IT to ~185° in the thick parts. Put it back to fridge after cooling. Here's how it looked at that point:


Tuesday, right after work, I put it into the oven @170°, straight from the fridge, in a covered foil pan,for 30~mins... I incremented the temps up at 30 min intervals, 200, 225, rotated end-wise, 250, 275, 300°. At this point my IT in the thick was 185°,so I flipped the fat side down to give it the brunt of the heat. When I got my IT of 200-205, I pulled it, and here is the result: Please note this is the bottom of the butt: All IT's were 'Thermopopped'.
It was quite late, but I flaked off some meat from around the bone, to eat before bedtime. Yummy pulled pork dreams!!!

[troymeister]

Breaded Pork Tenderloin with Dill Cream Sauce...... Just in in time to watch the Cubbies Win!!!!!!!

[troymeister]

David Parrish BTW The Drip N Griddle Pan Rocks!!

[David Parrish]

Thanks! Love that veggie pic. Can we use it?

[troymeister]

Of course...anything to help out....Wait until you see the Paella I am going to do on that pan soon.

[Ernest]

Can't do much outdoor cooking. But.......

[Ernest]

I wanted a burger but didn't want to make a bunch of buns. So I whipped up a single bun........ Almost zero carbs





Happy Friday!

[David Parrish]

How'd you make the bun?

[Ernest]

David Parrish give me a few minutes to write it up.

[Ernest]

Wangs!

[bbqoaf]

Looking good, I've got some Asian style wings on the go right now, I'll post later.

What you got going on flavour wise?

[Ernest]

Nothing fancy, just a sprinkle of Harissa Spice

[Mr. Bones]

Ernest, what'd ya make for the sauce pictured? Looks yummy, mustard-based...??? ;-)

[Mr. Bones]

Gorgeous Wangs, and Splendid photography, as always!

Thanks fer sharin'!

[Ernest]

Mr. Bones The sauce is my homemade macadamia nut oil mayo.
I mixed it with some red wine vinegar, a touch of chipotle Tabasco and mixed Italian herbs to turn it to a dip.
2 eggs yolks
1 Cup macadamia nut oil
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
A pinch of salt
A pinch of chipotle powder (little heat, smoke)

Immersion blender, beat done!


[Steve B]

Ernest how about a little hot sauce for those wings. This ain't for the faint of heart. Pure Smokin Eds Carolina Reaper peppers, some vinegar and spices.

[Ernest]

I'm against any HOT hot sauce on food. I want to taste what I'm eating. I can put hot sauce on the table for folks to use as they please.

[Spinaker]

Dude how can you even cook those inside?

[Steve B]

It was the first time I made this sauce this way. And probably won't do it again inside. Thank God no one else was home. It was pretty wicked.
