Sunnyvale, ca checkin in here. Errands today and smoking Sunday and Monday. Pork butt with Memphis Dust tomorrow, and three racks of baby backs with chicken thighs on Monday.
Just got home and noticed no one from the Southern Hemisphere was on the map- OK then- Mini fired up, quick prep of a rack of ribs purchased at Costco Sydney yesterday (after picking up a H 18.5 OTS Brownie to restore) and we are smoking! Macadamia shells and Banksia cones. Southern Hemisphere on the Map.
I know smoke day has come and went and I missed it, but it is still raining in Rowlett Texas with some of it being deluge type rain.
The radar map looks like there will be a break around noon with thunderstorms forecast to reform again in the late afternoon.
If I get that window of opportunity I have some babybacks and fixins ready to go and even if it fibbing a little I am going to claim 2015 smoke day.
All of the food y'all took pictures of looks great.
Company coming today.
Pork butt cooked and pulled yesterday.
Brisket on the this morning.
Was gonna cure that little cut off, thin flat end, but changed my mind.
Oakridge Black Ops for the rub.
Well, my whole smoke day got changed. Any who it was a blast! A buddy of mine who's been learning his culinary craft traveling the world was back in town. He rolled over and took me to school on the proper way to "grill fish" and use cameras. Another cool thing is he left me a bunch of sauces and ingredients that I can barley pronounce. I cut him lose on the Jr while I man the XL. I hope I didn't break any rules by changing up the cooker.
Its been a busy weekend of grilling and smoking…
Friday night: filet mignon and rib-eyes
Saturday: king crab
Sunday: lamb chops
Today: 2 pork shoulders (a little over 20 lbs)
A Happy Memorial Day to all our vets past and present. I know many say Memorial Day is not about BBQ`ing and going to the beach but every Veteran I know including my father spends the day with family and friends. I think all Vets would agree that Memorial Day should be spent enjoying our freedom with family and friends, whether its in the backyard BBQ`ing or at the beach.
Simple smoke day at my place, I did a couple racks of ribs with my modified Armadillo Willy rub, made some crowd-pleaser sauce, foiled 'em and went over to feast with friends (they did all the sides). Ribs were pronounced excellent.
