MacKenzie Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Weather is looking awesome but not as awesome as that rib cook. It is stunning, Basher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Thank you Tyrus, MAC. drumsticks tonight. honey soy and tandoori chicken with home made spices and yogurt. I haven’t made tandoori before. Turned out delish. Definitely do it again. The yogurt in the marinade tenderises the protein. Garlic, ginger, cardamom, turmeric, chilli and a couple of other spices.

Tyrus Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Looks good Basher, some of my favorites and eye appealing too. Thanks for reminding me, I have a qt. of Greek yogurt in the frig and was wondering what application to use it in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troble Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 @Basher what’s a smartfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Temperature controller Troble https://smartfirebbq.com/ now that I reckon I know roughly where the temperature sits at various setting, I’ll use this for low cooks, and walk away. pretty happy with it, I drove 20kms away mid cook and could see how it was sitting, and adjust from 20kms away if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) We are going on holidays tomorrow to the Gold Coast with some friends. i have to work today and wanted to take a cooked brisket with me- a poorly selected brisket, once opened I realised more than half was solid fat. the plan was to cook overnight, however, once trimmed there was only 1kg remaining. I didn’t really want to be up half the night with this poor excuse for food. It was sooo thin...... so close to pulling out and feeding it to the dog...... like we used to with brisket in this country. found some chorizo sausage in the fridge, and some string in the drawer. put it on at 9:30pm. Rigged up the smartfire to target 110c( 230f), and went to bed. i woke up at 6am with the internal meat temp reading 88.9c( 192f) and pulled it off at 6:30am. one slice for a photo then vac sealed it and put it in the fridge. It looks a bit ugly, but here it is, warts and all. Spicy, salty, juicy and pleased I didn’t feed it to the dog.

Tyrus Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 The bark looks good, an odd shape but, it's all about taste. Good idea about the dog, maybe later you can slide him a taste too 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Basher, that has got to be the ugliest brisket I've seen, you did a great rescue on it. Hats off to you, Basher. Hope you have a wonderful holiday. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troble Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 @Basher that pic of the brisket on the grill....props to you for sticking with it and posting it no matter what. They don’t always look pretty do they? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Yes, very ugly, yet effective. im expecting a call from Dennis asking me to remove it. He doesn’t need these images circulating, could be bad for business! 😂 I’ll source a better cut soon to make up for it 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will be impressed. Kobe Squiglet sounds good. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HokieBen Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Chuck roast Sat! My wife seasoned it so I don’t know all that was in it but turned out great. Bout a 6 hour cook, 275 entire time. I’m trying to build my brisket game but my son says this is better 😔 It was good! 😂 Anyway, hope you guys having a great weekend! These forum pics always make me hungry. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 I like a chuck roast, as it's a lot less meat to deal with than a full brisket. Well, corn season is winding down here, but I did manage to score some local stuff this week. Porkchops and snags with local corn. No plated pics as I had a dinner guest who was hungry! Another friend was over for dinner last night. Ribs and corn this time. Indirect, smoker pot of hickory & apple, 250F. Country style ribs got a slather of mustard based sauce at the end. This friend wasn't as ravenous, so I got to snap a plated pic. Side of homemade potato salad and air fryer hushpuppies. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 I'm glad your friend gave you a few seconds to grab a plated shot so the rest of us can drool. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Grabbing the local corn while it lasts. Grilled chicken breast, corn and a nice crusty bread. Side of curried rice and a green salad. Lovely white Rhone wine to wash it all down with. Direct, Main grate, 375F, apple wood chunks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 I envy you with that fresh corn, ours has been long gone, but there is always next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
