Whats on the Grill or Smoker?

[amberg]

Not gonna lie
I've walked right by them in the store before. If they didn't have pork, I'd leave without
But these looked different

My first gas grill was caught on fire doing short ribs about 35 year ago and burn't competently up, I said never again. But I think I will like the smokers, so far so good!!

Recipes welcome!

If you get beef short ribs cut 'flanken' style about a 1/8" /3/16" thick, no more, by about 8-10"s long...marinate them in a concoction of one beer, 1/2 cup of white vinegar, 1/2 cup of Kikkoman Soy Sauce, then grill 'em. Make the same on the side to baste and flip them with instead of the raw marinade they sittin' in...I promise every damn one of ya...the grocery eaters will go 'when we gonna have them beef short ribs again.' Gotta flip'em quick when the heats on 'em. Pay attention to what you're doing, figure out the hot spots on the grill. Keep basting them and a flipping. If you gotta grill of any decent size, 'bout the time you flip and baste with the juice, gotta go back and flip again.

Trust me...the finest beef short ribs you ever had. The company you keep will ask and beg for them again and again!!

Well it warmed up a little today so I smoked up some more legs, and decided to make up a venison meatloaf to take advantage of the other shelf since the daughter is home for Christmas. Turned out pretty good I think, at least the girls liked it. I do think I am going to fine tune the meatloaf a little more. ( It was a last minute decision to make it.)

Looks like you have things pretty well surrounded there Charlie.

Forgot to post a pic here of the two 8lb/each Boston butts I did last Saturday for my Navy son and college daughter, and a big family get together for him and her at my house...put them on the Weber Performer at 6am, pulled them off and shredded them at 2pm.

Tasty looking grub fellers. I'm gonna get the smoker back out after Christmas. I wanna try ribs with just charcoal for heat. Less smoke....

Tried a batch of legs in a aluminum pan. Turned out pretty good, took about 30 minutes longer in the pan than straight on the grates. Going to do some more tomorrow on the grates to see how much quicker they get up to temp. This smoking thing can become habit forming lol.

Did you do the Carolina rub on those? They have that nice yellow tint.
They also look like they're cooked to perfection.

I'm doing six slabs of smoked ribs for Christmas dinner. My wife thought it would be a nice change. I didn't argue.
I have a SIL who is strictly Vegan. She *b-wordes about our menu, every year. I'm going to do a hunk of smoked Tofu for her. It'll be on the bottom rack under the ribs.
It's unfortunate, she's the only woman I ever met who liked her steak rare.

Those look tasty. Be careful, before long, you'll be doing ALL of the cooking.
If you like baked beans, throw a pan of then on the top rack when you do your chicken. They're pretty dammed good.

The rear Butt had the Carolina on it but they both got a little lathering of yellow mustard before the seasonings got put to them. The front Butt had a mix of Bad Byron's and a hickory rub.

Might hafta tell SIL to bring her own groceries to the shindig, lol.

Grilled tenderloin, grilled shrimp as well with a baked tater.
One pic has just the meat and potato. (Sorry but I like these slathered with sauce)
The other has the mixed veggies, as well as the potato with the pico de gallo.
The shrimp has some sauce on it in one pic, in another just a light coat of old Bay seasoning.

The wife was one happy woman with this meal

I thought that it's man law to always put a pot of beans on the smoker when it's running.




I never was a fan of beans on the smoker.
Even a few cans of Bushes with 1-2 pounds of bacon and a few handfuls of smoked pork or Brisket in a cast iron pot sitting on the smoker does not suck at all

I hope not!!! But I will try the baked beans on the top rack though, sounds good.

Charlie, on those baked beans...if you put them in about a 9"x13" aluminum pan, or casserole dish will do, lay about 7/8 strips of bacon across the top...some fine eats. Give me about 10 mins and check your PM buddy.

We're having 16 for Christmas dinner.
I've got six slabs of back ribs and six split Chicken Breasts thawing in the fridge. Also have a hunk of Tofu, for my idiot SIL.
Going to do a variety of rubs. Carolina, spicy and sweet on the ribs and Carolina, sweet and standard poultry on the Chicken. Should have something for everyone.
Also going to smoke a pot of beans, fortified with a couple pounds of pulled pork and Bacon. Red Potato & Egg potato salad, deviled Eggs, Sweet Potato Soufflé, Spinach Quiche, homemade sourdough rolls, Cranberry sauce and Pumpkin cheesecake, to round out the meal.
Also have a couple gallons of Egg Nog and a bottle of VO for those so inclined (I'm doing a quality check on it now).

You all have a safe and happy holiday and enjoy some good chow.
