BBQ Time

Forums:

My new smoker came the other day. I broke it in yesterday with a split chicken, which came out fantastic. However, it's chicken. Today is the hard "grand opening." Beef short ribs, pork tenderloin and baby back ribs:

I pulled the tenderloin at 150,  gave it a few minutes per side on the screaming hot sear box, and let it sit for 15-20 before slicing. Holy shit!

That tenderloin looks amazing, BK. I might have to rethink my dinner plans. I don't have a smoker, but I've got a nice Weber propane grill that does a good job with roasting.

Fan of the meats

I'm looking forward to an evening of meat sweats.

Pellet smoker technology has come a long way since I got my Traeger 10 years ago. I can control the temp and smoke from my damn phone, and it has 4 built in probes that I can set to send me notifications when the meat is 5 degrees from being done.

That smoke ring looks amazing, yummylicious!!!

Onions, huh? Do you marinate or rub them first, or just straight up?

Not sure, my neighbor cooked some for me on his smoker. I think he just smoked them - whole. cant hurt to marinate them though

 

heres the first recipe I just googled, although I would use a vegan butter or oil..

That's not BBQ ing, that is cooking in an outdoor oveN

Smoked onions on pizza or sammies are delicious

Ha ha, Fabes, I was wondering how long it would take before a purist poo-pooed the pellet smoker.

Those "outdoor ovens" win a hell of a lot of BBQ championships.

It's  just not fair when you can dial in temps under 200 degrees, but they do produce some tastee food. I tease my future son in law about his Traeger all the time. 
 

A friend smoked all his salsa ingredients before making it, was great stuff!   Also, smoking sides like mac/cheese, baked beans, cheeses, nuts, even salt....   enjoy!   

I know. I put my brisket on at midnight, and the only thing that wakes us up is the delicious smell wafting through the windows. Fuck that fire tending!

I'd rather put my energy into sauces and sides. The meat still feels the love.

This new one imparts way more flavor than the Traeger ever did.

Looks great! Brian, if I send you a SASE...........

B&P?

Smoked shrimps...........MMMMMMMM

smoked corn chowder

thank me later

Baby backs. I brought a bunch of the rack over to my tenants, who have lived here for 4 years. The wife is vegetarian and has sat out on all the BBQ, until today. We polished off the rest of the rack in about 5 minutes.

((((( Sweet meats & Meat Sweats )))))

After a savory dessert of short ribs, in an hour or so, the meat sweats should settle in nicely.

That's a helluva Passover spread you put out, BK ;-)

Damn right, Mike. It's a porky Passover, Night II, at the BK household.

Right here is the crowning glory: short ribs!

The meat sweats have officially set in.
