2021 Official Gratuitous Grilling/BBQ/Cooking Thread

I found these work MUCH better for "kebabs" And you can add stuff at the appropriate time to reduce over/under cooking. (E.g. onion petals burn if put in at the beginning)

I still prefer skewers, but I keep one ingredient per skewer. Chicken skewers are only chicken. Peppers only peppers, etc.

Good point, I may have to try that. The whole concept of putting mixed items on skewers is probably best for presentation but not practical for cooking. In the end, it all gets dumped on my plate.

Decided to try a rolled round I got with my half beef. I guess it's like Picanha I'd smoked awhile back, without the rump fat cap?

Did a ground pink salt dry rub overnight in the fridge. Ran it to 135F on Camp chef smoker with cherry pellets and flying swine rub. Wrapped in foil and towel for couple hours. Medium/medium rare, was delicious for a lean cut.

I'm getting some good ideas on here, going to read the entire thread! I'm better off here than Politics or Classifieds

Went on last night around 9, wrapped it this morning about 8. Still on, at around 185 now so it’ll be off just in time to rest while everyone’s hanging out. Buddy bringing pulled pork so I didn’t bother doing a pork butt. Gonna smoke some Mac and cheese as soon as the brisket comes off to rest

Smoking a 7.6 lb chicken spatchcock method. Temp at 151 in the breast currently.

Tri-tip roast I got from Don's butcher shop. Never done one of these before.

 

[indyjohn]

I think this is our new favorite cut of beef! Sea salt & ground pepper rub, grill at 325°, cooked to 159° internal temp. Everyone commented on the flavor, much richer than anything from the Krogers.

+1 for Don's butcher shop.

Finally won our hometown contest after 7 years of trying and lots of second place finishes. It was getting to be aggravating after winning plenty of other contests.
Ended up with 1st in chili, 2nd in chicken by 1/2 a point, 3rd in ribs, and 11th in pulled pork (only 7 points off first place which is crazy close from 1st to 11th) and 1st overall.

Congrats and your Q looks awesome. The sauce has a very nice color and sheen. I like all of those textures I see in your chili too.

I have been smoking on an Oklahoma Joes Highland all Summer. Fun, but it's a pain to keep consistent temps. Can't take very large splits at once, so you gotta add small chunks very often. Was going to get an egg, but want more capacity to put sides or lots of meat on, want to burn wood, and I like the pit style, plus there is a cool factor to it. Pulled the trigger on a Lonestar Grillz 24x36 offset last week. In a short...4.5 months, I will really be smoking lol.

Thanks, the chili is my specialty besides ribs. It has bacon, sausage, ground beef, fine cubed beef, and smoked brisket in it for lots of different flavors and textures.

Today's a very special day in any man's life. Smoked meatloaf day. After you smoke a meatloaf, you'll never look at oven baked meatloaf the same way. Well, some of you might. The ones who like hot dogs.
