Who is cooking today? 12/21/08


 
Gotta find the driveway first. Used the snowblower 3 times since Friday, and have about a 15" drift in it now. Check back with me in April

Steve the 7 lb butt cooked at 235-245 took 7 hrs and the other butt was a little over 8 lbs and took 8 1/2 hrs. The top rack cooks hot and that is where I had the 7 lber. I just threw them on this morning not thinking too much just wanted to get them done. It turned out pretty good for me rushing it. The butt that cooked a little slower was better no doubt but both were good. When we compete I cook slower, maybe 9 hrs for butts.

I know it doesnt seem right but it is what it is.

I ended up w/ the motivation. Got a nice ribeye - they were on sale - and a filet for the Mrs. Went pretty basic, w/ Montreal steak seasoning. Served w/ hash browns and steamed broccoli. I browned some shallot and baby bella in butter, then simmered in Sangiovese with a dash of balsamic and reduced. Made for a nice topping. Unfortunately, my ribeye caught fire while I was tending to the hash browns.

Not a complete loss, but it definitely had a charred flavor.
 
Seasonal Greetings All,

Sad as it is, we don't live solely off of smoked and barbecued foods...

I spent nearly all day, 12/21/08, making candy and cookies--plus a pepperoni and cream cheese pan pizza to sustain my efforts.
