so what's on the grill tonight?

[mommucked]

I'll be grillin/smokin all day and night since the meat in the freezer is thawing out w/o power.

ribs

 

[obullfish]

4lbs of porterhouse for me and the wife and the dog.

Swordfish! One of my new favorites. Pasta with jumbo shrimp on the side. I need to find a source for big fat lobster tails without spending an arm and a leg.

Haven't had a steak in three years now.

 

[CAROLINA ROCKRUNNER]

Wtf why not steak . Hell I eat a ribeye once a week. Damn I love steak and ribs the Jews don't know what there missing out on .

 

[jeepinmatt]

Had some grilled Mahi over corn salsa and rice. Forgot to take pics, but I can take some when I see it again tomorrow

Made some mods to mycheapo this morning to prepare for the afternoon. Made legs for the coal pan out of bolts. Instead of resting on the bodies legs, the pan is free standing. This will allow me to carefully lift the whole smoker up and off to add coal, rather than trying to get lit coals in the tiny door.
Also added air holes since it had zero.

I still need to add a way to adjust the air intake from the bottom. In hindsight I should have spent a little more on a better smoker.

I would close off those holes and put new ones in the sides near the top of the pan.

The big hole in the bottom is going to get blocked by ash.

Use pipe fittings with caps/valves to control air flow.

Though given how sealed that doesn't look anyway, I would find some decent fridge magnets and use them to cover the holes if you need to choke the air.

 

[77GreenMachine]

There is a small grate that keeps the coal above the holes. I can give it a tap or use a stick to knock ashes from the bottom.
Pipe fitting is a great idea!
She's holding steady at 245* right now but it's sure windy.

If you're smoking and it's windy try to put the smoker where the wind can't get to it. If it's blowing out of the south, put the smoker on the north side of the house or visa versa, I've also used 2 pieces of plywood to make an V and set the smoker in the corner to block the wind from robbing heat from the smoker.

No pics but cooked a 130 pound hog and 100 pounds of chicken quarters for a wedding

Yeah I have this perfect little cube shaped area between my kitchen and garage I put it in. It worked out real good. I should have got some pics.
Here is the end result though. It was very good!

Compliments of my Big Green Egg this afternoon.
Ribeye, scallops, acorn squash and sweet potatoes. Took the squash seeds and roasted them as the BGE cooled down.

 

[CAROLINA ROCKRUNNER]

That ribeye looks amazing but damn I hate acorn squash and I'm like a Mexican there is nothing I want eat . How did you make and season the squash? I grew a new type this year scalloped squash it was good but still not as good as crook neck .

 

[Jody Treadway]

Salt, pepper, olive oil and paprika and cooked 45 minutes @ 400*.
Pretty darn great!

 

[obullfish]

@Jody Treadway be careful of the olive oil at higher temperatures as research shows it can cause cancer. At just over 400* it turns into a carcinogen. Once it starts to smoke it is to hot and it is to late.

It also tastes like crap if it gets burned

Tried out the smoker I have been building this weekend. Did 5 Boston Butts for 10 hours on Saturday.

I grilled 4 thick Ribeyes last night on the egg. For some reason wasn't hungry

 

[frankenyoter]

Scored a new to me Egg. Built the start of a table and fired it up yesterday. Cooked some chicken and hotdogs (no pics). Even did a blueberry cobbler last night around 10.

Got plans to do wings and a pork loin today (and anything else I can find). I had a grilling problem before and now the Egg will proba ly exacerbate my habit.

I thought I had a grilling problem before...

Wings...

Dang wish i could find a deal on a used one. Most want almost what a new one cost.

 

[paradisePWoffrd]

Smoked some cubed pork loin today. Turned out decent.

 

[frankenyoter]

Rosemary taters, smoked cabbage, grilled carrots and a marinated pork loin.

Kids demolished it!
