A BBQ thread

[Tesoro]

Before and after. Pulled at 123.

Nobody else cooking today?

Now I need some cake

I am doing fresh razor clams. Can't grill them! After a meat feast I want a sipping glass of good bourbon to help with digestion. Cake is for the dog! I see you live in Roll. I drove through there this winter. Seems like with all that green and barren hills to the North it must attract some critters. No javelina on the smoker? The young succulent ones of course. I have eaten alot but from the Central American bush and they were tasty.

I just had a brainwave. I will be taking this mini santa maria grill with me on my upcoming eternal RV camping trip and realized I can get some large pieces of cardboard and duct tape them up into a smoker cover that will stand on the ground. I can cut vents in it and even an inspection door with a tape hinge. Smoked brined pork chops, slow smoked butts, cheeses and jerky will be a snap. I can hang my temp sensor on the cross bar and the second in the butt. Slow smoke - the best. When done toss the cardboard in the dumpster.

Love razor clams but don't get them often.

We have lions, muley's, desert bighorn, javelina and more all quad distances NW from my house, Sonoran Pronghorn same to NE.

We even had some elk migrate down from Alamo Lake and get hung up in our canal system here.

I live on the south border of Yuma Proving grounds.

If you were driving through Roll you were off the beaten path a bit.

I was heading to Why and like to explore and stay off the interstates on the way. No hurry ! Sounds interesting! Amazing stuff down in S Ariz.

Classic! I crossed the border at Sonoyta and brought back 61lbs of prime sonoran ribeyes that I ordered from down in the Sierra Madres. packed all in my rv freezer! No beef in our side has that flavor!

This thread needed revival.

Not prime but not bad. Going on smoker in a bit

Heck of a buy nowadays!

The guy who sold me mine made his based on this model/size. he said they come with expanded metal racks that are spot welded in place They will warp. He builds them with a drop in piece of fine mesh rock screen so can take out to clean. There is 1/8in gap all around so they dont warp. easy retrofit fyi

Outstanding.

What is that cut called with the huge rib bones?

Beef short ribs.

 

[Riesel]

Beef short ribs.

You often hear them referred to as "Dino Ribs", but that's not an official term

 

[Qajaq]

A couple of recent smokes. Spatchcocked chicken.

A 20 lb brisket last weekend for a get-together we had. 14.5 hours total @ 250* (including paper wrapping at 180* with beef tallow) until ~203* internal, then a 2 hour rest at room temp, before 6 hours more in a cooler. Then sliced and served.

Yup. Short ribs or plate ribs I believe

I have the pit fired up this morning, smoking pork butts. I cut them in have to get extra bark, and cook a little quicker. I saved one coppa to brine for buckboard bacon. I also took a package of pork chops, little salt n pepper, then onto top rack. I get smoked pork chops as a snack, while the rest continues cooking! Rum o’clock might come early today!

"Gonna be a good day, Tater"

 

[Ringostar]

The pulled pork and smoked chops came out great. The weather has been windy, snowy and rainy, so my wood was a little damp. I had some struggles maintaining the fire, but just added charcoal to get a big enough coal bed. The rum was great also, but the chaser of cognac might have done me in! I have my coppa in liquid cure this morning for buckboard bacon. Hopefully I can smoke it in about 10 days.
