What Else Ya Got

[tstalafuse]

I have been cooking a LOT of brisket/pork butt/ribs/chicken the last few weeks. They were all really good, but I need something to break the routine for this long weekend. As an in your face, I am thinking Spam burnt ends, but I really need something else.. So, What Else Ya got?..

[STEbbq]

Steal my meal. Do carne asada

[tstalafuse]

STEbbq Making some fajitas from carne asada always is good.. I am hungry just thinking about them.. What Else Ya Got for a more traditional north of the border Labor Day Weekend?..

[STEbbq]

Well, I have alligator, ostrich and elk steaks, ground yak (burgers?), and octopus to make octopus with punched potatoes (a Portuguese dish).

[tstalafuse]

I don't run across too many alligators or ostrich in the mountains, but Elk is available. A rancher down the road also sells yak and Scottish Highland cattle.

[Jfrosty27]

Lamb roast. Make gyros out of it.

[tstalafuse]

Hmm.. that looks really tasty! What Else Ya Got?

[Purc]

Have you tried either a rack of lamb or leg of lamb?

[tstalafuse]

Yes. Those sound mighty tasty.. What Else Ya Got?

[Jfrosty27]

Smoked bologna sammies!

[tstalafuse]

I haven't tried smoked bologna!.. Your mac'n cheese looks awesome.. So What Elsa Got?

[Jfrosty27]

Schichten Braten!

[tstalafuse]

@Jfrosty27.. I have to ask, what are the spiky things? They look like my router..

[Jfrosty27]

tstalafuse That’s actually a pan lid holder from Ikea. I use it as a frame to hold the stack of meat etc together while it roasts. Search here for Schichten Braten and you find a post with a video link that will help. I would post it here but sadly I don’t know how. The roast is amazing.

[tstalafuse]

Jfrosty27 No need to post. Once I know the general source I can find it.. Just glad it wasn't my router..

[WayneT]

Grilled duck breast?

[WayneT]

Smoked Vienna Sausage? It's in the Hormel family!

[tstalafuse]

WayneT I will put them on the smoker right next to the Spam.

[SheilaAnn]

WayneT I would let them fall through the grates….. sorry friend!

[lemayp]

Since you are already thinking spam, go homemade and add some smoke. http://www.thewolfepit.com/2016/10/h...m-at-home.html

[tstalafuse]

lemayp I was just gonna buy a can or two.., but it never hurts to have a recipe in the back pocket for a full scale natural social melt down.. What Elsa Ya Got?

[Greygoose]

I have no pics,,,but A SMOKED MEATLOAF is one of my favs,,,,
loaded up with spice, cheese ,jalapeños,,,,bacon,,,,or whatever you think you want,,,
I OD ,,,,

[tstalafuse]

Greygoose Not sure where I stole the recipe from but I have a favorite smoke meatloaf as well.. That is a for sure a winter recipe.. So, What Elsa Got?

[Alan Brice]

Put a brick of rubbed cream cheese in the middle of that bacon wrapped, 50/50 pork n beef, meatloaf. Takes meatloaf over the top.

[Jfrosty27]

I haven’t made one of those for a long time. Now on the top of the list.

[58limited]

Grilled fish tacos

[tstalafuse]

58limited My wife loves you.. I was just at a comp where the Open Class was a fish that everyone loved. Sadly, she was too busy serving a smoked peach cobbler.. So, What Elsa Got?

[RichieB]

Well, not sure what spam burnt ends are. I'm doing poor man's (chuck roast) burnt ends. Or how about a really nice steak? Porterhouse, T-bone, NY Strips.

[tstalafuse]

RichieB I hear they are WAY better than any other kind of burnt ends, just with Spam.. I will believe it when I eat one.. A nice reverse steak is in my wheel house. No pictures, but I just did some ribeyes that were an amazing perfect rare (almost a perfect Blue)... So, What Else Ya Got?

[RichieB]

seafood, grilled lobster tails, shrimp, sea scallops wrapped in bacon. I'm not a fish person, but pick a fish and grill it. then you can always go plant based. if you do you're on your own with most of us,

[tstalafuse]

RichieB I am not really a seafood person. My will eat anything seafood (kinda like a garbage disposal), but I will cook anything for her.

[rickgregory]

Salmon.

[tstalafuse]

rickgregory My wife would love that, but it would be fresh caught trout instead of salmon.. I have a separate smoker just for her. If you haven't tried Meathead 's hotnsmancy (or whatever it is called) it is, as the website says, Amazing.. So What Else Ya Got..

[glitchy]

Pork Belly burnt ends, chuck roast, pork steaks, a bacon weave wrapped sausage fatty. armadillo eggs, turkey drumsticks, and/or ABTs? Before you ask, that’s all I’ve got

[tstalafuse]

glitchy, really that's all ya got? Pork Belly burnt ends...That might be a keeper.

[Reds Fan 5]

Pork belly burnt ends, smoked Mac n cheese, carnitas, tri-tip

[tstalafuse]

Reds Fan 5, we love us some smoked mac n cheese.. What Elsa Got?

[Reds Fan 5]

Not grilled but how about chilaquiles?

[tstalafuse]

Reds Fan 5 I got some fire roasted Pueblo chilis that don't have a date.. Chilaquilies with some homemade queso and chorizo sounds like something I might want.. badly..

[Sid P]

+1 for pork belly burnt ends.

[Sid P]

Smoked meat loaf.

[tstalafuse]

Sid P I have a stolen smoked meat loaf recipe that I haven't made recently that needs to be made... Hmmm definitely something I need for this winter

[Jfrosty27]

I’m doing these today. Oh so good.
