The Grill and BBQ thread

During my recent move after we bought our new house, I lost my maverick so needed to get something for my temps. Found this thing called Meater on Amazon and have used them the last couple of smokes I have had. Everything has come out right on the money and they are so simple and easy to use and clean. Would recommend the bigger set with the block, because you can use them over wifi to your phone and be anywhere on your wifi and be able to track your temps. With the single meater, it only comes with bluetooth capability and I didnt like it at all and it was pretty poor.

I second this. I bought the bigger set with the block and love it. I will say the range is spotty on it but other than that the temps are perfect
 
My 1st Thor's Hammer. Making a brie & Parmesan risotto to go with it.

What evil sorcery inspired this sinful creation? This is a new definition of food porn!!!

Pulled up a recipe for it on Bon Appetite and the hairs on my arm stood up reading it. Can't wait to make this. Thanks for posting!

I got mine from Marble Ridge Farms. The meat is very good. All I did was make a rub out of Better Than Bouillon beef base & a little red wine, slathered that all over then covered with Black & Tan seasoning. Let it sit overnight in the fridge.

Ran the pit around 260 and pulled it at 202.

Thanks, Boca!

I'll be making one as soon...

Did you smoke it in the pan?

I smoked mine on a cooling rack with a sheet pan under it. It sank a bit the rack. The recipe I saw said to place it directly on the grill. Think I'll try 180° next time.

Yes. I smoked it in a cast iron skillet. I tried to do it elevated on a cooling rack over a pan and had to transfer after a lil bit because could tell it was going to be a mess.

I slit it about 1/2 way through cross hatched, coated with rub, and smoked at 225 for 1 1/2 hours. Also is easier to deal with if you put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes prior to prepping it.

Did one with cinnamon sugar instead of rub. Really good with Graham crackers!

Did mine on Monday spatchcock style along with a double smoked glazed ham (sorry no pics). First time spatchcock for either chicken or turkey and it came out great. Used the rub that came with the brine kit, but I'll go with a better bird rub next time. Key was I injected it with creole butter before and throughout the smoke. Rough start with the pellet pan getting clogged but remedied that in a reasonable amount of time. Prolly contributed to my lack of confidence in making photographic evidence. Juiciest bird ever and my wife said that's how we're doing it from now on.

Anyone on here have a pizza oven?

I just bought the Solo Stove Pi Dual Fuel for myself for Christmas. I can't wait to fire it up. The table I ordered for it won't be here until after the 18th so I'll need to come up with something to put it on because I know I'll want to fire it up before then.

I got one and did my first cook last week. Definitely a learning curve.

Looks pretty solid to me. Did you make the dough?

I think I'm going to experiment with thawed out frozen pizzas to get an idea of temp control, turning, etc.
If you make you own dough, add a tablespoon of molasses. This is a secret ingredient that some pizza places use.
