ThreeDJ16 Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 Ok, here it is, the long anticipated Pimp My Smokey Joe version 2.0! Just goes to prove that BBQ will find a way. Hell, with this fine machine, I might cancel my KK order - Mahwahahahaha - wait - that ain't even funny - just kidding there Dennis - hurry up with my new grill!!! The first one of you who points out that this is a Komodo cooking thread gets it - I am coming to your house, making fun of your cooking and stealing your grill (unless it is a k - then you can keep it) - got it!!! I ended up using some roofing flashing, pop riveting it together, then used some more pop rivets to support moving the grill up higher away from the coals and lastly a pie pan deflector (thanks for that idea Firemonkey - works great). Suprisingly, as a whole, it works pretty damn good. After some intial Guru tweaking, it has been puffing away around 230-235 for about an hour. Got a small shank end of a shoulder waiting in the fridge for some Que tomorrow! -=Jasen=- Freshing rubbed ribs relaxing after a very close St. Louis style haircut! Close fit! My Guru buddy! SMOKIN"
Firemonkey Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 Thats not a smokey joe... You turned it into a WSM!
ThreeDJ16 Posted July 2, 2006 Author Report Posted July 2, 2006 Re: Thats not a smokey joe... You turned it into a WSM! ??? Huh?? Maybe I am not the only one drinking! BTW, the ribs are looking beautiful - about 1 more hour to go - Mmmm! Temp swings are more than with a ceramic grill, but whats +/-5 degrees. -=Jasen=- Ok, did a little digging - is this what your talking about - http://www.weber.com/bbq/pub/grill/2005 ... _smk.aspx?? Abbreviating things to drunk people is just not a good idea - hehe.
ThreeDJ16 Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Posted July 3, 2006 Wow! Isn't it funny how things turn out. That was the best (though very small) set of ribs I have eaten in quite a while. I had not basted ribs in a long time and Dennis got me thinking about that this morning. So I made up one of my old simple basting mops that I usually reserve for chicken - cider vinegar, salt and ground chiles. Sure wish I had more ribs left over! -=Jasen=-
Curly Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 They look pretty good. Save the 2 grand and use it
ThreeDJ16 Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Posted July 3, 2006 OMG! They look pretty good. Save the 2 grand and use it OMG, Dennis is gonna ban you and delete our posts for such sacrilege - hehe! Oops, my bad, wrong forum - hahahaha! -=Jasen-=
ThreeDJ16 Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Posted July 3, 2006 Mmmm! Well, I am cooking the BBQ today, for tomorrow. It ain't much, but enough that it will do. A small shank end part of a shoulder fit nicely on my little make shift smoker. The ribs turned out so nice, I am very curious how this will do. -=Jasen=- I am also a huge fan of creole & cajun cooking (any out there - please post recipes). Anyway, it is Monday so I thought I would stick with tradition and make up a big ole pot of Red Beans and Rice for supper. Here are the humble beginnings (and no, the beans ain't in it yet - their relaxing in some broth). Mostly right out of a Paul Prudhomme recipe book (slight variation); I mean you can't beat his recipes - they are the best! God, I am hungry looking at it! And the smell is out of this world!
Curly Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 I gotta admit, that pot of bean beginnings almost had a smell with it. Looks very tasty.
ThreeDJ16 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Posted July 4, 2006 OMG - About to bust! Whew - man that was some good Red Beans and Rice! I am too full to even think of sampling the pork shoulder that should be coming off the PMSJ in another hour! Come on over Curly, plenty of leftovers! -=Jasen=-
ThreeDJ16 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Posted July 4, 2006 Que for the 4th is done!! Well, I just finished up the BBQ for tomorrow (not a lot, but enough for me and the wife anyway). The real shocker was how long I keep that little smokey joe running - wow - 11 hours with no charcoal additions or relights! I must say that really makes a strong case for Shotgun Fred's products as I gave it a good workout today. Naturally it is not nearly as tight with temps like the ceramics are "Sigh"; I guess I will be back in that boat soon enough - actually, never soon enough! -=Jasen=-
Curly Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 You'll probably be plastered all day and could eat a rubber boot
ThreeDJ16 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Posted July 4, 2006 Come On - you know you wanna trade! Come on Curly, you know you want my cooker! Jealous again - hehe! -=Jasen=-
gerard Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 Re: OMG - About to bust! When I find something like this, I assume the cat threw it up and I pray that I can entice the dog to eat it. *not a big fan of the Creole.
Curly Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 See Gerard, that's the difference between me and you. I told him it looked great and almost had a smell. Then I threw up and left him in his little tinfoil world thinking he was doing something. And you, you just get straight to the vomit don't you? You need a good woman like Sanny to inject some happiness in your life
ThreeDJ16 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Posted July 4, 2006 Oh I am so gonna get even!! Ouch Dudes, that is really cold - I am soooo gonna get even! Luckily I am too busy making tator salad and green beans than to fool with the likes of ya'll! Oh yeah, Gerard, may a Creole born cat come into your office and puke on you - hehe! Ok, so I suck at the voodoo thing, but I am making up a little Gerard voodoo doll very soon! -=Jasen=-
Curly Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 Oh Heck, me and my daughter just made up a voodoo doll for him today. It's got hair from our dog, a piece of bat ear and some tutle shell. It's ready for the needles. The fiinshed product Did you feel that in your arm Gerard
gerard Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 I'm doomed. I can't possibly stand up to the power of a fuzzy bat, a turtle that lives on pine cones, and a dusty keyboard. Seriously, stop it with the county-chique, Curly. We gotta act like we got standards. There's Europeans amongst us.
Curly Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 Did you feel that? I stuck that one clear though the leg The K forum might be uppity, but we ain't We can be country folks ifn we wants to. And I like country, so there ya go.
