Family favorite cook here yesterday...

[DubfromGA]

My family really enjoys some basic stuff for dinner sometimes. I'm glad, because it's fun to make and the flavor is there thanks to a proper hot dog chili and homemade slaw.







Using the small Vortex. Placed a small wax lighter tab on the grate and stacked the charcoal on top. Fired up the tab and dropped the lid in place and figured it come on up to temp in due time.






I adjusted the top vent to keep it from reaching full blown inferno level heat output, but a nice controlled heat source.







Used a combination of rubs on the wings. RecTec Greek rub & Plowboy's Yardbird rub. They yield an excellent flavor and zero heat which is a requirement of my wife.

Wings look great! White slaw on a hotdog, that's my favorite as well!!
Great looking cook,

Thanks.


I use the shredded cabbage and add Duke's mayo, honey, cider vinegar and lime juice.

Family loves it on hot dogs and pulled pork sandwiches, too.

I like the use of the mezzanine for the dogs, one of my fav techniques too!
Hey, how did the kettle ribs turn out?

Some killer BBQ coming out of your house, looks fantastic

The grate system that came with my MasterTouch really is handy.

I left the center grate section off on the last wing cook. It was left on for this cook because I dumped all the wings onto the center and then shuffled them into place with some tongs. I left it on to burn off the stuff.

I"m doing the ribs today. Probably using the WSM since I'm going to start it up with a butt on there first.

Thank you.


We don't eat out very often, lol.

It's more fun and flavorful to D-I-Y.

Wings and chili dogs, both look killer. Like you said basic stuff, but stress free and super good.

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

That is some amazing hot dog chili. Would love a few dogs smothered in that. The rest looks great too. Nice job.

A fun cook & good looking food! Makes me want a chili dog - haven't had one in at least a decade.
