Nice

I'm a big fan of just doing a whole bird.

Definitely planning to try that. Haven't had the time yet. I don't like dark meat but the wife and oldest son will take care of that part.

I cook breasts at least 2 times a week either in the oven or on my gas grill. Won't be using either of those methods anytime soon.

Do chicken thighs next. Best chicken option in the smoker imo.

I've heard they do well. I just don't like them.

Wife bought some wings and legs(don't like those either) she wants me to do sometime. I hope I can make them turn out ok. Not sure if I'll fry after to crisp up or try to just throw on my gas grill on high.

 

[KptVFL]

The decision has been made. Boston Butt for the win.

How'd it turn out?

Our first attempt and we screwed it up. Lol
We know what we did wrong, tho.
So tomorrow, we shall attempt again. This time, it's happening!

Well at least you learnt something.

Give thighs a second chance. Google "chicken bombs" and get back to me after you cook them.

Get the boneless thighs and wrap in bacon.

Just bought a Blackstone Griddle and an Ooni Pizza oven (pellet fuel option) for Memorial Day. Having concrete poured tomorrow for our patio and then unboxing and using them this weekend. Can’t wait!

Anyone have any Blackstone recipes they wanna share?

Pork Butt 2nd attempt update:

Reading through this thread has helped me A Lot! Thanks for sharing all y'all do in here.

Our second attempt at smoking a Pork Butt turned out utterly amazing! I started at 0740 and it finished at 2135. Let it rest for 40 mins and then started pulling. At 2240 I made my first sammich and it was gone by 2243 .

I love the bark! I love the meat! Hell, I even enjoyed a couple bites of fat!

I put a brisket on the smoker this morning at 7 am. It is up to 154 now. Low and Slow. I also made Onion Bombs and Shotgun Shells to snack on. This is how I prefer to spend my Birthday.

Grocery stores are starting to sell pre-packaged thin-sliced/shaved ribeye. Salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, worsterchire. Let it sit for awhile. Fry it up with onions and green peppers for Philly cheesesteaks.

How did you do the jalepenos?

They're a little sweeter than I'd hoped but still pretty good. I'll find the recipe & post it.

FYI for any East TN folks.

Food City sale





Price on ribs is only good today and tomorrow.

That burger deal is crazy cheap. We really like the black and bleu ones.

 

[KptVFL]

Yesterday's cook. Were good!




And just about to throw on today's

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Went with a simple cook to get used to the Blackstone. Did a Thai fried rice with an egg on top. So good, so easy. Loving this thing. Think I’m going smash burgers tomorrow!

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Tried out the new Ooni Pizza Oven last night. So good. I’ve got some recipe kinks to work out with cheese and need to figure out how to make an actual circle but man, it was delicious. The charred bits were perfect and still fluffy underneath.

 

[bignewt]

Brisket weekend. Turned out nice.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Did some spare ribs

Sorry no pics (had a struggle), but I smoked a 14 lb pork shoulder butt and did poached beer brats for the brood coming over. The Pitt Boss pellet smoker wouldn’t stay at 225. It would surge up past 250 or dip below 200. Wrapped and pulled before 200 degree internal temperature and finished one side in the oven and put the other in the smoker. No surprise, the one finished in the smoker was better but both pieces turned out great. Wife pulled it with a mixer…anybody ever try that? Errybody happy and I look like a very tired culinary genius. Didn’t sleep more than an hour but I’m off tomorrow.

 

[Vol524]

I have never tried to pull pork with a mixer. Never even heard of it. But, the next pork butt I smoke, I am going to give it a try. I will probably sling pork everywhere but we shall see.

Please put your phone on video and post the results. TIA

Will do! May turn out to be a PSA. lol

I've been told the mixer is great, but I've never tried it.
