It's literally been a month since I've posted, real busy around the homestead. Fish tank is done, now we ripped apart the old deck and pulled out the cedar hedges to make way for a bigger deck and a fence to make the yard way more private.
I did managed to do a few cooks though
Part 1:
A few weeks ago I split some yard birds open and seasoned them with Weber Citrus Chicken rub.
Cooked them on the WSM with no water pan at 350 for about 1.5 hours.
Honest to Betsy, this was hands down THE best chicken any of us had ever had. I'll only cook them like this from now on.
Part 2:
On Monday we got together with a friend from Mississippi who just retired from the US Army with 20 years of service. I grew up with his wife and they are in Ottawa for a few weeks so we got together for some BBQ. Grabbed a massive full pork loin from Costco to serve 18 people (for $24!!) and rubbed it with my dry rub.
Got a good hot fire going and cooked it indirect for about 2 hours, then wrapped in foil and put into a cooler for transport.
Part 3:
We ripped the yard apart earlier this week so I had to put all my cookers in the garage. I never realized what a good collection I had going.
It was raining and we wanted some cheddar brats for dinner so I took the smokey joe out to the front porch and fired her up.
Served them up with some pickled red onions and some salads for sides.
Didn't do any cooking yesterday because I answered an add on kijiji for a "used once 22" WSM. Turns out the guy bought it, cooked on it once and took second place in a local competition. The prize was a Napoleon smoker, which he prefers because it stacks. He's downsizing houses so I picked this one up pretty cheap for and AT code that looks brand new inside
