Everyday Misc Cooking Photos w/ details

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.

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.

@Basher what’s a smartfire

[Basher]

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

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.

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

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.

@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? 

[Basher]

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

Just make up a name for a new cut and say you paid $1500 for it. People will be impressed. Kobe Squiglet sounds good.

Pizza night 

[MacKenzie]

That is just what I need a slice of delicious pizza.

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.

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. 

[MacKenzie]

I'm glad your friend gave you a few seconds to grab a plated shot so the rest of us can drool. 

[AJR]

Filets and ribeyes.  The crust on the filet was the best yet.

[Tyrus]

Steak it is and those grates are soo clean...you embarrass me.  

[tony b]

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.

[MacKenzie]

I envy you with that fresh corn, ours has been long gone, but there is always next year.

Spent yesterday and today cleaning up my garden after two nights of killer frost, My coverings weren't enough to keep these killer frosts from doing what it always does. Now we have the tail end of Hurricane Teddy to deal with for the next two days.
