Breakin’ in the new pit. Just couldn’t resist the call of the pellet smoker any longer. Side burner is for reverse sear and hits 900*. See if I can find something to cook over the weekend. :)

Which one did you go with. That looks sexy!

Edit: never mind - I see it’s a camp chef. I have a 6 year old Traeger in the rotation that still turns out awesome food.

Edit Edit: please let me know how it works out and how you like it. Always looking to improve and upgrade.
 
1st Salmon and it was delicious. Finished with a homemade sauce of Dukes mayo, dill, mustard, lemon juice, butter.

Pulled this tasty slab off the grill last night and forgot to post. I devoured the other 10oz so fast I couldn't get my phone out quickly enough. Marinated ribeye with Worsesterchire, Greek dressing and Montreal steak seasoning.

Ordered. Thanks for the heads up! Once the heat wave breaks, it'll be an all out Ribfest at my house.

It can be a little salty if you apply too much, I rubbed a bunch of brown sugar on the ribs along w a healthy dose of the rub, marinated in the fridge for 8 hrs. The best chicken wings I've ever smoked. Toss them in a big bowl w evoo to coat and season/stir/season well w the PBYR. Let them rest in the fridge 4 hrs or more and hit them w the rub again while they smoke. They do not need any sauce at all.
 
Some finished product:

Capers! I never thought to use capers like that. I bet the salty brine played right into the seafood.

Damn it! We need an NC4X4 foodie event. Get together, put faces with screen names, eat great food, drink great beer and learn from each others experiences. I don’t care if you like what I cook. But if you can give me ideas to improve, son, we’re having a few cold ones on me and I’m taking notes.
 
Funny how things evolve. I was also going to cook some salmon, figured I’d come up with one sauce that might work with the oysters, salmon, and dipping the crab and lobster. Salmon got cut as I realized I needed more time for it to thaw. Sauce was butter capers champagne vinegar onion and a little seasoning.

Some times you just get lucky!

And, yes, a group cook would be very cool!

you're killing me !

The last time I grilled Lobster tails I kept them whole. I cut a stick of cold butter in half longways, then cut them into 2 pieces to make 4 long square sticks of butter, seasoned the butter sticks w lemon pepper and shoved them into the whole in center of the tails. Set them on the grill, shell side down and shut the lid. The tails curl up and hold the butter inside the tail like a bowl. After 10/15 mins. I carefully turned them over, draining the butter into a saucepan,shake them a bit and grilled the belly side a few minutes. Then crack/serve and dip the meats in the lobster juice butter.

No BBQ yet but enjoying it so far. Smoke is a little lite but that’s common with this type. Is the perfect size for bigger cooks but fuel use is constant so even a couple burgers vs a brisket is the same. Ash clean out is easier on the CC. Like the more traditional temp settings like 225, 275, 325, etc.

Added a couple options like a front shelf, the side burner. That sucker really sears a steak!

I likey!
