@tony b. Mouth watering. How do you manage to get the bacon crispy without killing the shrimp?

As I said in my write-up, I parcooked the bacon first (partially fried). But, I also needed to move them down to the lower grate, as the bacon wasn't crisping up fast enough on the main grate. The bacon was just crispy and the shrimp weren't overcooked (still moist inside).

An easy dinner and more squash. After all it is squash season. This time a very small butternut squash that I wasn't sure was going to even ripen before the killer frost hit but there it is. :) Served with chicken burger and roasted potatoes.

Did you forget what forum you're on? :-)

Oh, I know! There are a couple of rabbit holes that I've avoided so far - this one and the bougie clay pots (La Chambra) is another. I don't do those high-end knife sharpeners either, but do love a good knife and will pay $$ for one. Plus, these folks get go off the deep end when it comes to coffee gadgets - grinders and various espresso machines!!

First attempt at pork ribs here tonight, with a final rack of beef ribs that I didn't cook last time. Made my own simple rub for the pork ribs, cooked for 3hrs at 285F, then wrapped and had them off a couple of hours after. Beef ribs went on earlier and cooked 6.5hrs. Both were smoky and delicious.

Now I've finally ticked off all of the major KK cooking styles I wanted to try (most of them only once so far): Brisket, pulled pork, beef ribs, pork ribs, spatchcock chicken, roti chicken, roti porchetta, leg of lamb, simple grilled steaks/ sausages, paella, pizza, reverse seared thick cut steaks (tomahawk, fiorentina). Now I get to do them all again...

Did smoked “Texas Chili” today for first time - used MeatChurch seasoning and recipe (https://www.meatchurch.com/blogs/recipes/texas-chili) Came out fantastic, I highly recommend!

short version - smoked a small Chuck roast yesterday, today chopped it up and mixed with browned ground beef and some breakfast sausage along with diced and crushed tomatoes, onions, garlic, one can of beer, and the chili seasoning in a large cast iron Dutch oven. Left lid off and smoked at 225-250 for 5 hours with hickory and some cherry wood chunks, then put lid on for last two hours. Stirred every hour and added toppings.

Made a huge dish of Mac & Cheese with Butternut squash this evening. https://www.irishexaminer.com/recipes/?c-recipeid=6857

I did roast the squash on the grill earlier in the day. Also add a green habanero pepper and some slice of tomato. I really liked the results.

Hello!
Been quite busy lately, so didn’t post. But reading and seeing about your great cooks was amazing.
For tonite, a couple of Mexican roadside chickens. With some salsa verde made some time ago (kk roaster tomatillos, Serrano peppers, onions, garlic, lime, …). Chicken was cooked at 450F for 45 min. Some pecan chunks in the coal.
It was fabulous. Very moist and tasty.

As you can see. You can easily fit 2 small birds on the half grid of a 23!

If you notice my cooks, i tend to favor simple preparations but decided to complicate things a bit by attempting a variation on a porchetta. I thought my pork loin was too small to attempt a spiraling cut so i just made two slices into the side and filled with onions, yellow sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes, kale, shredded Italian cheese blend, fresh basil, SPG, and sprayed with olive oil.

Roasted at 325* F with taters and asparagus underneath and used hickory pellets in the cold smoker.

The loin needed a bit more cheese and the asparagus was a bit over-charred but everything was still very tasty!

Yeah, i know i could do a more attractive plating but i was hungry!
