Did a Porterhouse last night. Indirect with Hickory. Then a reverse sear. Grilled baked potato. Turned out pretty good IMO.

And now I wait

and hang out with some friends

Still waiting

Done

Time to eat....

Here are my latest winter pictures, I was smoking a venison back strap to make Meatheads chilli. The Akron egg works good when it is cold out.

For the money the Akron is a good buy, I noticed if it gets too hot it does cooloff when you open the lid. It will not last like the ceramic ones but I consider it a good starter grill. I made my own heat deflector that sits under the main grill, it is a good place to put a water pan too.
I always smoke a few sausages when ever I fire up the smoker.

I thought I'd resurrect this one for our Montana friends such as allsid and others.

A buddy of mine lives in western Montana and he was at his base camp today and this is what he woke up too. I love that state.

Not sure how much cooking I will be doing outdoors this winter. I am planning on moving my smoker from the back yard to the garage, hoping for some great weather days so I can wheel it to the driveway, same with my grill table. but. I do plan on a ton of reading and working on new techniques, especially baking this winter.

And to think it's going to be 91* with about 80% humidity here in Houston today and it's snowing in Montana !! One of those crazy times of the year !!

**richinlbrg** · January 31, 2021, 08:27 AM

Well, it started snowing (part 1 of 2 part storm) between 2:30 and 5:30 this morning.
No plans for today, but prepping 9# (pre-trimmed) pork butt for Monday.

**Jfrosty27** · January 31, 2021, 09:53 AM

Well these pics are from about 30 min ago. Out my kitchen window facing the road and out the patio door to the backyard. No outdoor cooking today. So wifey is making a pot of chili. She makes great chili.

Jfrosty27 Not as good as yours but getting there. 9lb pork butt. Had to edit cause someone was having wheelbarrow envy.

**Huskee** · January 31, 2021, 10:08 PM

Kinda jealous that MI doesn't get any real snowstorms any more, Texas and California are getting more than us...also kinda happy though. It's weird, I dunno.

I don't know how you guys exist in such conditions. I would turn blue and die of exposure if I ever left the house.

Went to New Zealand to have my first look at proper snow a few years ago, with the bride.
Had my first experience with wheel chains as well, F#%^ing bast$#d things!!!!!!
Returned to the cabin at the end of a day of unsuccessful skiing lessons, all wet, cold and muddy.
Hot shower, heated tiles, rum and an open fire, it was then I decided that while snow looks magical, it is best enjoyed from behind glass haha
