First Smoke Day - New Performer Cook

[Steve Madden]

Picked up a used Performer this morning just in time for Smoke Day. Did smoked stuffed mushrooms and a few unwrapped stuffed jalepenos. Big hit with the fam as a late afternoon snack.



Link to Stuffed Mushroom recipe. Ran at 250 for about 55 min. Used cream cheese instead of mascarpone.

Those look amazing! Congrats on the new performer. I bet the previous owner would want it back if they saw these pictures.

I love me some stuffed mushrooms and jalapeños, and yours look very good, indeed. Glad the new grill setup is working for you!

Cheers!

Forget that football video game...THIS is "Madden 2020"!

That looks delicious and thanks for the recipe.

Nice score and a nice cook too!

 

[Steve Madden]

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I picked up an old, neglected kettle for $10 about six months ago and after a bunch of cleaning (Thanks to this site for all the tips), I’ve used it numerous times and thoroughly enjoyed it. The performer is a whole new world from the bent and rusted kettle I bought and I’m looking forward to many great cooks if it will ever stop raining in South Florida. I think I am officially hooked. Thanks again and thanks for this great forum!

Here’s a pic of the kettle that got me started.

Is that a 3-wheeler, Steve? If so, welcome to the club!

 

[Brian Lee]

Nice Performer! I started with a very old 3-wheeler (18.5") from my sister but gave it back to her when I picked up a used Performer my neighbor no longer wanted. The work table is awesome!

Looks great!

It is! I think I may hand the old one over to my folks to enjoy. New KillaGrillas arrived for the performer and the WSM yesterday. Think I am going to try Chris’ Hot & Fast chicken with some quarters on the WSM and Bryan’s Roadside Chicken on the performer with some thighs and drums next. Looking forward to cooking this weekend!
