Food and Drink What are you Smoking/Grilling/BBQ'ing this weekend? - Page 83

**BigRedChief** · 07-03-2015, 03:48 PM

What are you up to this weekend?

I finally gave up on my smoker and decided to get a new smoker. I went with a bigger model but less tech. Yes, its a cheater electric smoker. My 3rd one. I need more space to cook, I don't need help getting my smoke and temp right.

I've also never used injection for flavor except for pork butt or other big cuts of meat. I decided to give it a try. I developed my own injection. Basically like the other recipes you have out on the internet but I'm putting the rub in the injection and using sirracchi.

Full results not in yet but my son and I think its the best sausage we have ever had.

No sauce. Marinated the meat overnight. Injected the meat. Slow cooked the ribs and chicken. Baste it with a combo of butter and apple juice. Using a combination of Apple, Mesquite, Cherry and Hickory wood.

Picked this up today, an early birthday present from my wife.

I said I'd never own a gas grill but I've found myself using our portable gas grill that we use when camping when I want to quickly grill some steaks or brats. I also needed to replace my Brinkman upright smoker that has seen better days.

Academy Sports had these on sale for $299. That's a great price, I've seen them for as much as $429. I've been reading up on mods for this smoker and already have a few things I plan to do to it.

I was watching some unique Festival food show on one of the cable channels. The guy was doing smoked Mac and cheese and couldn’t keep up with the demand.

Basically he was using standard elbow macaroni. He melted several different cheeses in a big pan. Cooked the macaroni 3/4ths the way. Put them together in big pans. Put in the smoker for 2-3 hours.

His looked too runny for my tastes. I’d use different macaroni. I’d melted the cheese from the start in the smoker. Mixed it up as needed during the smoke.

Going to grill my own specialty of “Saloon Burgers” with corn on the cob and grilled potatoes tomorrow.

I had 3 employees at the store help me load it. My wife and her brother helped unload it. The hardest part was getting it up the stairs and onto the deck. But really it wasn't too bad.

205 lbs. It's pretty sturdy for what I paid for it.

Pretty busy, but good result.

I got a OK Joe Highland on closeout last year. I caught it on sale and was in the wifes sedan. lol it had to be unboxed and load part in trunk rest in back seat. They are nice the smoker needed gaps filled and door lined with heat tape. Then you can get her holding steady temps. I love the gas feather for grilling wish I had that. Thats a hell of a price.

Easily he best pork I’ve ever made. It was so tender, juicy, and had great flavor. Both my little girls went to town on it and they never eat.

Any ideas as to how to keep it tender for leftovers?

Yeah.

Except I was following some BBQ professional and he said to drain all the juices. Which I did. I should’ve known doing that was a mistake. I was thinking about pouring apple juice in it. Decent idea?
