Cooks from the past couple months

[JSMcdowell]

Been cooking a lot lately, just haven't had time to posting anything. So here's a compilation, in no particular order.

Cooked 10 butts for a local church and my own freezer.

35 lbs for the church

Herb rubbed pork loin, half sliced thick for dinners the other a little thinner for sandwiches

This chop was calling my name from the pork counter

Grilled it up, topped with ancho aioli, served with roasted taters, and asparagus topped with a poached egg

Roasted salmon topped with dill aioli, fingerlings and chard

Used some plum wood on salmon over spelt pasta with basil pesto

Beginnings of smoked meatloaf

On the grill, prefer parchment but foil works. Didn't get finished shots.

Leftovers served with mashed and cheese bread

Every New Years I head down to a friends in south Florida and we end up throwing a big party for New Years Day bowl games. Well this year it got up to 130 people so I brought the big smoker down with me. We did 8 butts, 26 racks of ribs, and 300 wings. Plus sides of mac & cheese, baked beans, and coleslaw.

Here is the 8 butts on an 14 racks of ribs. Don't mind the gnome... long story.

Moved the 14 racks up to the top, put 12 more on the bottom and a perf sheet pan full of 150 wings getting a nice little smoke.

And that's it for now!

No wonder the price of wings are going up. Great looking cooks. I need to try and sell the wife on a smoker like that.

 

[JSMcdowell]

Thanks Everyone.

Ray, you aren't kidding. $2.29 / lb on 2x 80 lb cases down in south florida at rest depot. Was $1.89 last year.

But their pork and beef was pretty cheap down there.
