Nice steak night dinner!

Keep going, no time to let up now!

While digging in the freezer for something else this morning, I did run across a couple of country style ribs in there. Will remember this idea for a future cook.

Interesting idea. I might still have some country style pork ribs in the freezer?

ZEP-505 and a Magic Eraser.

Burnt ends = meat candy!

Probably the biggest reason that I hate winter - crappy tomatoes! 😜

True, but BBQGuys were running a special with free shipping. I didn't even notice the handle on the side of the bag. I just dumped the whole thing into my charcoal bin, didn't need the ziptop on the bag. But BOY, are there some major sized pieces in there! Will likely have to break them up as I've found that these really big pieces don't actually burn all that well. Main reason that I quit using Fogo Super Premium - too many super large hunks.

Mine, too, and I'm not even a big dessert fan!

Paul, it's obvious that Poochie's back and having a bad influence on you!

Nope, never even thought of doing it myself. I'm a fan of LumberJack pellets. https://www.bbqpelletsonline.com/index.php/products/our-pellets

I'd eat that! Beautiful socarrat on the rice!

I now have "steak envy!" My poor little steak looks so tiny by comparison. Chuck Steak from Porter Road. Lower grate, direct, no added smoking wood. I was using coffee charcoal. @MacKenzie - Spud Success!! Boiled the piss out of this one, overnight in the fridge - worked like a charm. Bailed on the air fryer, used my countertop convection oven instead. Spud pieces were sprayed with duck fat - WINNER! No vampire worries tonight - between the salad dressing and the mushrooms!

Nice! My bag arrived this week. Using up the last of the Fogo Quebracho in my bin before I open the JD bag.

Love that throw-back commercial!

Great minds think alike, as the saying goes! 😉

Cool story about your family starting the business. I've owned a Caldera spa (Tahitian), going on 12 years now. Mine also has that recliner seat - my fav spot in the tub with the jets on the bottom of your feet for a nice foot massage!

Welcome to Springtime in Iowa! Woke up to this sight this morning. Sun has come out and it's almost all gone now. Fortunately, it didn't interfere with last night's cook - Piri-Piri chicken. direct, 350F, main grate, cherry wood chunks. Plated with a nice carrot salad with cilantro and plain couscous.

@MacKenzie - I did put the spud in the fridge overnight, but it probably needed to be overcooked, as you said, to get it to break up with your hands. Next time, I'll cook it longer. But, I want to try crisping them up in the air fryer.

Funny, but when I first read your post, I thought you said "wash the dog" - I don't think a bath in PBW would be good for him!

As a retired mechanical engineer, I resemble that remark!

Was inspired by MacKenzie's burger cook, as with the lockdown, I'd been jonesing for a nice juicy burger! Local supermarket butcher counter does these nice pre-formed patties. I picked up some on my shopping run yesterday (on sale, too!) One on the left is a bacon-cheddar cheese and the other is jalapeno-pepper jack cheese. On the lower grate, direct, post oak chunk. All dressed up. That's not basil, it's some spinach that need to get used up. Hey look Aussie - no beets!! Served up with some onion rings from the air fryer.
