Recommended Posts

Ribs!

I have some ribs cooking right now! Rotisserie ribs!

FYI, if you are asking how I am using the rotis when I sent the motor back today, good catch. Anyway, I had an old $15 walmart cheapy rotis motor in my stash. I said what the hey and tried it, fit perfect - hehehe. Looks and sounds like hell, but it will get me through the weekend till the new motor comes in!

8 hours into the cook...

Well, 8 hours in, and temp is holding steady just over 200.

I had the "temp drop thing" when I put the meat on, and it took all my effort to not twiddle with the dampers. The temp had been right on before I put meat on, then dropped to below 150. "Maybe if I adjust it a little." Nope.

I let it stay below what I wanted, even though it was over an hour! Now THAT is will power.

At PC's suggestion, I made some of Dennis' Lexington mop, and I've mopped the top two butts. Lower two are too hard to get to, and they are getting dripped on anyway.

And, also at PC's recommendation, I mixed up some raspberry chipotle sauce, and some of the Lexington vinegar sauce.

I'll serve these on the side, I think, and some un-mayo slaw. The local grocery has some finely chopped, not gloppy slaw that would go great on top.

Mother might make home made slaw, though, cause her garden cabbages are just about ready to go. She made stuffed cabbage for the week, using a few outer leaves! They're larger than a dinner plate each!

Well, I've been wanting to try the "Pit Beef" I've read about for years but never got around to it. I almost did the last time I bgt a sirloin tip on sale for $1.79lb, but I ended up cutting steaks outta that one.

So, I saw someone on the BGE site talking about the pit beef again on thursday and it just so happened I saw that Ingles had the sirloin tip on sale again, only this time it was $1.98lb. OK, it was only.20cent more so I'm still in my happy place :roll: Well, when I checked out they rang it up for $1.51. It was about 12 or 13 lbs of sirloin there for $20 or so...not shabby at all.

It's been on for about 2 hours at aroung 350ish as of this pic. I'm prolly gonna take it off around 135 or so internal and put it in a cooler for awhile and then slice it up.

Here's what I ended up. Got a great flavor, I had a bunch of different rubs on it.

Hitch in my giddyup...

Well, Livvy and I went to bed with a cooker chugging along just fine. We awakened at 6:30 to a low temp cooker! Fire must have gone out. Ok, not a COLD cooker (still 150), but not where we wanted it to be. So, it couldn't have gone out TOO long ago.

I took the meat off, gave the lump cage a shake, and relit.

For jollies, I took one of the shoulders off, and here's what we have.

Tastes good, but not quite tender enough. It would do fine, though, if that's what we end up with. Especially if there's sauce for the side (and the meat's going to be reheated with apple juice, anyway).

Me again...

Ok, time passes...

Cooker is back up to temp, and 3 butts heat up again. One is ready! It was fall-apart cooked, and I took it off and wrapped it. It's in the cooler, doing what it does.

Two more still on the cooker.

I suspect there was an ash clog or something with the air flow that made the fire go out last night. I started with a modified minion (lit a few coals on the bottom, with gas, instead of on top with a chimney), and it was doing fine. When this cook is cool - maybe next weekend - I'll empty the firebox and clean out all the ashes. I dug out most of them before cooking, but I'll start again clean for next time.

hot in the cooler

Amazing, really, how long a foil/towel wrapped shoulder keeps warm in the cooler. I had three in there most of a day, and when I took them out to pull in the early evening, they were HOT! Too hot to handle, even. Fingers objected.

Dog got a couple pieces of "cannot serve this part." Wasn't much (maybe a tablespoon or two), but enough that her tummy was gurgling all night, and she was a gassy beast. She got a pepto tablet at bedtime, but she still followed me around wherever I went, and sat by my feet - a sure sign that she wasn't feeling well.

:(

Porky goodness is now pulled, and in gallon-size freezer bags (four of them) in the freezer for the fence raising. I'll make some more raspberry chipotle, and get some commercial bbq squirt sauce (for the peasants), and put the Lexington vinegar sauce in a squirty bottle. Choices for everyone.

And make some roasty onions (I think the vidalias are so sweet they don't need butter or bullion cubes) on the side.

I'd just like to say that you guys with your tasty meals all stink! :evil:

Without a KK this is what I'm reduced to:

Frozen burgers on an electric grill next to the sink. :( Must...learn....patience.... In the mean time, thanks for all the food porn and ideas for when I get mine! :wink:

Well' date=' there is a George Forman Forum, maybe you need to head on over there buddy[/quote']

That's cold, man! The Weber Kettle was an option, but it's a lot of work to fill the chimney and burn a big chunk of my remaining Kingsford for just one burger (plus the threatening rain was a deciding factor). Maybe I'll practice on some of the Cowboy Lump from Lowes in the Weber so I don't feel bad about using up the last briquettes I'll ever buy :wink:
