Watcha cookin' for Memorial Day weekend?

Post by Pete Mazz » May 25th, 2014, 12:43 pm

I was going to smoke yesterday but the weather wasn't cooperating. So today is set for pork tenderloins, concocted up burnt ends, ABTs and some smoked baked beans. The burnt ends are a trial using a beef eye roast. Hoping to get the general appearance and taste. We'll see.

Anyway, happy Memorial Day to you and yours!


If it's tourist season, how come I can't shoot 'em?

8 slabs scheduled for tomorrow morning, maybe wings if the neighbors want some. Knocked out several cases of sauce today.


If it can't be smoked .... try frying it. It that don't work, it's probably best just left alone

I went out to an Italian bistro type restaurant and they had Louisiana BBQ ribs on the specials board. Normally that is like ordering fish at a place known for beef and questioning why it tasted bad! These were fall off the bone outstanding ribs. I was amazed !

Ok, had to google Runzas. Sound tasty!

Puff, really??? An Italian bistro and you ordered ribs???? Brave man. :beer:

My ABTs and pork tenderloin turned out great. Faux burnt ends, meh. Taste was there but texture not so much. Maybe better the next day. Oh, and I didn't even try my smoked baked beans. Too full. Lot's of leftovers for today tho.
Knocked out several cases of sauce today.
Cases? I'll guess you sell them? If so, how much? If not, how much??? :kewl:

I smoked bacon wrapped, cheese stuffed, extra large white tiger shrimp and a rack of ribs on Friday. Then we have been involved in a wedding the whole weekend so we ate good there. Today is our wedding anniversary so I'll take my girl out tonight so we can make another 7 years before she kills me.

I've got one small butt and two racks in a borrowed Brinkman. I still have started building my RF yet, and I wanted to try smoking on something other than my grill. Q-view to follow. It looks like I need to add charcoal about every hour. Does that sound about right? It's been holding around 220 for about 2 hours going that route.

I had to shorten the rib as a full rack wouldn't fit on the grate, but it looks like I'm headed in the right direction. Just foiled the ribs.

Yesterday I cooked a couple of Beef Tri Tips. First time cooking them and they came out awesome. Took one over to a cookout and it was gone within the hour. I put a nice rub on it and smoke with a mixture of oak, cherry and hickory. Today I will be smoking a couple racks of beef ribs and some chicken drumettes later on. The pits ready so time to throw the ribs on.

Lets take a moment and remember those who died while serving their country.

Looks like everyone did an awesome job smoking meat this weekend. My smoking today was some beef ribs. They came out nicely after being in the smoker for @7 hours. Very Meaty.

El Gato- I bought them at BJ's and they were called beef short ribs. They looked more like a dinosaur rib. They was big and meaty.
