My wife's sister, her husband and two kids, and my mother in law will be in town at the end of the month. My sister in law and her family live in Brooklyn, and my brother in law is a bit of a foodie and a great cook, so I wanted to do something that they can't do in their tiny apartment. Some sort of reverse sear or smoked meat thing. He'll be taking care of side dishes. My question is what to do for the meat? I have a Weber gas grill (Spirit E-310) and some grill grates and can do a pretty decent reverse sear. I definitely want to add some smoke since they definitely can't smoke meat up there.
I'm thinking some nice 1-1/2" thick pork chops. Simon and Garfunkel rub, dry brined but am open to suggestions. I'm considering rib eyes too. Is there any other good pork or beef cuts that are good smoking or reverse sear (with a kiss of smoke) candidates? I don't think I have the grill capacity for spare ribs (don't want baby backs) and I have done Pork Tenderloins in the past but am kinda tenderloined out. No briskets or the like that require 10 hours but up to 5 or so is fine. I'll save the big clods of meat for when I have a charcoal grill.
I plan on ordering it from a local farm and driving out as a family to pick them up. They have farm animals for the kids to see and it should be a fun little trip.
