The Grill and BBQ thread

Anybody tried cooking a ribeye in a cast iron skillet on the egg? Thought it might give you the best of both worlds...gonna try it tonight.

Only stove and oven so far, but I can't imagine anything but good will happen. Get that SOB hot!

Ribs and brats are on here. Gotta run back from the pool to check temps in a minute. What's everybody else have going?
 
The rotisserie is a game changer. Never have I cooked a chicken so juicy

Picked up a brisket for tomorrow. Was expecting a total washout weekend but Alberto has been kind.

Side note, my bride got me this cool sauce pot today.

Hit up Costco and bought a whole rib eye loin (10 llbs)... cut in half and made one section into rib eye steaks and the other as a roast for the RectTec smoker.

Cooked the roast in the smoker yesterday for 5 hrs at 225F... and the flavor was outstanding. It was still a bit to pink inside for family's desire, so it was finished in the over to get it to medium.
 
10 pound brisket on Saturday. Smoked 10 hours with apple and hickory wood. Used the crutch to push through the stall.

Indirect heat corn, vidalia onion, and chicken thighs today.

It’s been a good weekend.
 
What temp and how long

375 for an hour and half

The temp is higher than a normal smoke but w a chicken it still got a smoke and the higher temp gave a crispier skin

I normally like to make my own spice, but my in laws were in town and feeling hungry so I just used the jack daniels chicken rub. It’s very good. And I didn’t have any applewood so I used some old jack daniels oak barrel staves. Turned out pretty good

I’m currently smoking some spare ribs. My wife is all in on my new investment. She went shopping and we’re grilling/smoking most nights this week. Going to do a wood plank salmon tomorrow night.

Looked and sounds wonderful. I currently dont have a smoker so when I do beer can chicken I do it in the oven for the around the same time and temp. It's always good, but not near as good as smoked.
 
Happy Memorial Day everyone. Hope you had a good one. Sorry I've been absent recently, things have been pretty crazy around here. Here's my smoke from today. Rack of pork smoked with cherry wood. Just olive oil, sage, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper.

On the Webber charcoal w/apple wood chips. Cast iron skillet over the briquettes to get it hot for reverse searing.
Put room temp tenderloin fillets w/ cracked pepper sea salt and garlic rub on the backside to bring internal up to 145 in the chip smoke then transfer to the skillet to sear at medium rare to medium as desired. I hand tongs to anyone who wants it over medium for them to ruin their own meat :( . Sweet potatoes, bbq baked beans w/caramelized onion in a pie pan baked until the sorghum begins to brown. Others brought slaw, potato salad, mexican cornbread, garlic butter french bread, steamed zucchini-squash-onion-red pepper mix, 7 layer salad, 2 lemon merange pies, monkey bread and the beer 😊 Happy and full we are 😋😁😎

Thing of beauty right there.

I didn’t soak the plank. Instead I did a light char near the coals. Then set the grates high and cooked at 350. Perfect smoke taste - not overpowering - and very tender.
 
Starting to stage the loadout for the trip to East Tennessee for my daughter's wedding in the Smoky Mountains. Heading out Monday, hoping that I don't forget anything. I'm buying the briskets in Texas, as there's no guarantee I'll be able to find enough decent options in Knoxville.

120 people including four vegans. 9 butts, 6 briskets, my chipotle-lime potato salad and my mac-n-cheese. Sister is making her patented green beans and my sister-in-law is making her famous slaw. Vegans are getting smoked jackfruit "pulled pork" and vegan versions of my potato salad and M&C. Wedding cake will be my mother's carrot cake, a Krispy Kreme Doughnut tree, and S'mores.

Wedding is actually a week from Saturday. I'll try to take and share photos, but I apologize in advance in case I forget or don't take enough.

Wish me luck,
BOJ
