    What are you cooking for Independence Day?

    In light of our new found understanding that grilling is bad and we should just cook in the kitchen (thanks Huskee for that tidbit), I was curious what folks are planning for tomorrow’s celebration of our Independence?

    I was seriously considering some tofu and Vegan fried rice ….. but then Stacy slapped me around and said "I need a BBQ with MEAT" …. So, I dug around in the freezer and look what I found!

    1X rack back ribs, already brined and rubbed
    1X rack spare ribs, need to SLC trim and rub
    1x pack of Hutchins jalapeño/cheddar sausage
    1x whole chicken
    1x Tri-Tip
    2.5 lbs pork belly

    So, we invited the neighbors …. They are bringing all the sides and the beer, I’m cooking the meat. On the grill. With no temperature control. And the heat source underneath the food for flare ups. I think I won’t even clean my grates.

    THICK Chuck for me, full packer for ex-sister-in-law and whomever she is feeding tomorrow. Try to cram it all onto my small grate.

      Weather looking better, from washout to 30% of showers. Picked up a couple of T-Bones today so thinking that's the way to go. We'll see if Mother Nature throws up curve ball.

      Looks like a go for grilling. T-Bone for me Omaha Steak bacon wrapped Filet for my wife.

      Nothing to do with this subject. Did a grind of 2# chuck roast. 7 burgers. 6 4 oz. 1 6oz. Now home alone. Wife went to grandsons baseball game. Me, knee issues. Calling Dr. Tuesday. Now that I've been cleared, my heart is OK. Story for another time. So to ease the pain which there is a fair amount of, a bit of Makers.

      Happy 4th and sorry for the diversion.

            You're going to be busy. It's a good kind of busy, though. Enjoy that cook.

          I was planning on smoking a brisket but now that I’ve been told grilling is bad, I guess I’ll have to cook it inside. I’m thinking I’ll boil it for a while then microwave on high to give it a nice bark.

            Don’t add the Liquid Smoke till it hits the microwave! Very important for that hot off the smoker taste.

            You’re welcome Red Man I’m more than happy to share my techniques with The Pit. FYI….It’s a well known fact that Aaron Franklin stole my brisket techniques, which he then was able to parlay into a booming business….bastard!

          Picked up beef ribs from my new found butcher. I’m doing them Texas style per Meathead’s recipe.

            What time should I show up? And we'll take lots of pictures to share with our Pit brothers and sisters.

          Whole chicken (spatchcocked, of course) and a couple of racks of ribs. MAYBE!

          I pulled the shop vac out today to vacuum out the Silverbac, and the dang thing was melted! The hose was completely melted in two, the removable top with motor had about a 4 inch melted spot where the hose had been lying, and the power cord was also melted where it had been coiled up touching the hose.

          I can't remember the last time I vacced out the Silverbac pellet pooper, at least a number of long cooks ago, and don't know about the Weber kettle.

          I finally looked inside and there was a mostly intact briquette, so perhaps I vacced up some hot coals and one or two were stuck in the hose? I can't think how that would have happened.

          Anyway, we will recover and cook tomorrow. Off to Home Despot for a Buckethead.

          Happy 4th, everyone1

            Talk about an unpleasant surprise. Spent coals can be tricky sometimes. They look dead but they're not. I bet that whoosh of air in the vacuum revitalized them. Hope it was a cheap vacuum cleaner.

            That's more cheeks than a Kardashian family reunion.

            Cheeks are tough. Last couple of times I made taco's de cachete, I smoked them for a couple of hours and them put them in the sous vide overnight to get tender.

            What are your plans for all these?

            fzxdoc , they probably stopped smiling long ago... the moment they became steers.
