What's on your grilling and smoking menu for the Fourth of July Weekend?

[Colin]

So far the plan is going to the daughter and sil's to watch fireworks, much better view there. I volunteered a brisket flat from the freezer but they all wanted burgers and dogs. OK, I get to cook on the Jumbo Joe for the first time. I have only used it for a patio fire pit until now. Really looking forward to it.

We throw a nice 4th of July party up north every year.
Tomorrow is the Dungeness crab opener in our area of Washington .
Smoking a pork butt.
Will have brats and burgers if needed.
lots of salads and sides.
A bunch of fresh crab.

This year we will also get a bit creative and serve several vegans.
I am not quite sure how to handle vegans but I will try.
We shoot trap and and do large fireworks.
If they don’t care for that I can’t help them and they are in the wrong spot.

Yeah, vegans and guns normally don't go together.

Grill them a carrot, throw it in an organic bun, and call it a hot dog.

They're going to need the energy once they realize the trap shooting was just a warmup for the vegan hunt

Serving vegan is pretty good but usually a bit lean

 

[B.A. Poole]

I'll be avoiding vegans.

I plan to smoke a butter mopped, turkey breast seasoned with Texas Dalmatian rub. A rack of St. Louis style, pork spare ribs coated with a combination of a cherry and hot rubs; glazed with apple, cherry habanero rib candy. Then finally a salt crusted rolled beef shoulder roast.

 

[Michael Richards]

Did a good bit of the work for tomorrow's cook with my daughter tonight.
First we made some bacon jam.




Then we prepped Calico Beans, made pasta salad, and prepped all the 3oz balls of meat for the smash burgers. Got to make some potato salad in the morning, but hope to spend more time with the family tomorrow.

Looking good Michael, we are in motion here too.
Beef cheeks on the E6 which I have holding a solid 223 but I know we will be at 250 within the hour.
Pork is stacke on the skewer and all the sides made like the salsa verde.
I will probably post it all later...here are a few pics.

I also made a tomahawk last night to perfection.
Purple just barely, Costa carne.....and cooked on the jumbo joe.

 

[Rich Dahl]

I'll be somewhere air conditioned......it hit 116 here yesterday

You guys in the northwest are getting hammered with that heat, It's been hot here 100-110, but nothing like your going through. Can't wait to see my A/C bill

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Darryl, that looks pretty much just like how I want my steak! Beaker of bourbon or several nice cold Becks!
Since arrival times for family are more fluid that usual, I’m staying with a simple menu, burgers, tube steaks, creamed spinach maybe Brussels sprouts and Texas Twinkies.

 

[Angie H.]

Today doing much the same as you Michael. Burgers, brats, potato salad and Italian pasta salad. Tomorrow will be ribs on the 22 in kettle, chicken drummies on the 18 in kettle, baked beans, loaded baked potatos, mexican street corn, coleslaw, nanaimo bars (a canadian dessert), strawberry pretzel salad, smores bars.

It's just me, hubby, the two beagles Mac and Winston and I always cook more than we can eat but the beagles are always willing to help with the extra food!

 

[John Neuser]

Whatever my daughter is cooking. My wife and I hosted the family for father's day. I smoked a full packer, six racks of ribs, two sides of salmon and six pounds of sausage.

 

[Michael Richards]

Smash burgers with Bacon jam cooking and plated with two burgers and two layers of bacon jam. These were a massive hit. I had two doubles. I prepped way more burgers balls then I should have needed, but they where such a hit that I cooked all but one burger ball. Almost none of hotdogs got eaten.
The bacon jam was what put it over the top. It was so worth the time and effort.

Oh man that is looking good, can't wait to find out more.

I picked up a rack of spares this am for tomorrow. Maybe, if I'm up to it (read - not feeling lazy), I'll pick up stuff for abt's tomorrow...

 

[Mark Foreman]

Fridge in the basement started biting the dust on Saturday it was 25 years old. The plan was pork tenderloin on the Performer which was in another freezer but we had a whole chicken that had started to defrost so now its a whole chicken on the Performer. We were fortunate did not have a lot of stuff in the old one some steaks which we used up Saturday night.
