Needs a side of fries and a cold Budweiser. ;)
 
Planks soaked in chardonnay!

Hadn't ever heard of this. How much of the flavor gets in to the fish?

And do they burn for a few ticks when you first put the planks on the fire because of the alcohol?

Pork butt slow cooked all day with orange, onion, garlic, and jalapenos.

Shred the meat and put some crust on it with a hot skillet.

Easy carnitas. I do a lot of meat (for 2), and then use it in different ways for a few nights.
Tacos are a must.

Burns off a little bit but does transfer nice into the fish. Nice little trick!
 
Smoking up some dry rubbed wings!

Mix of Applewood and hickory wood , smoked around 200 for about 3.5 hours.

2 different dry rubs , one is coffee and brown sugar based ,.the other is cayenne , paprika ,Salt pepper, oregano, garlic and onion powder , couple other tricks ...

Also some Alabama white sauce and steamed cauliflower and broccoli!

Glad to see you in here.

Making risotto for the entire family.

I watched about 10-12 years straight of Top Chef and a very common mistake, season after season was someone flubbing risotto.

And every time the judges were like, "How the heck do you screw up Risotto?" :LOL:

But to make it really great takes a lot of attention.

I watched a lot of IC too. I actually liked the originals with the overdubs a little more.

It came out well. It goes from dente (or whatever it is just before its al dente) to overcooked pretty quick relative to the entire cooking time. Glad I tasted it frequently at the end.

If you're willing to make a few test batches to learn, a pressure cooker or instant pot can do it perfectly repeatedly. You just have to figure out the time your cooker takes to make it how you like it.
 
How long was that 10 pounds of loveliness on the grill?
I just got a smoker box and rib rack from Weber for my gas grill that I need to try out.
The rib rack can be flipped upside down to do a standing rib roast, pork butt, whatever you fancy.
 
Looks great Jer :yes:
Thanks man! Everyone loved the food. I was really impressed with how well the loin chops came out. I cooked with a probe in til 145° internal temp then pulled them. Super moist and great flavor.

Wow Jez, looks like that unit was worth every penny. :rock: :cheers2:
Thanks bud! Yeah, this weekend was not only my first time using a pellet grill/smoker but also my first time eating anything cooked on one. Very glad Mrs. Evil got me this! LOL! Was my Father's Day gift.

I did a hot/fast method. 325° cook. I put it on the smoker at 8:30am. It hit 160° internal at about 1:30pm. Pulled it off and foil wrapped it. Back on the grill for about 1.5 more hours til it hit 203° on the probe. Did this "Probe Tender" test (basically poking in a few spots to see if it went in easy). It was done so I wrapped in a towel and held in the Coleman til about 5:30 when everyone arrived for dinner.

This method for 10lb expect about 8 hours all in. If I did it at 225-250° it would have been about 14 hours.
