I knew there was a good reason why I feed them. What a day it was today and another one tomorrow. Here's where it got the seeds I think. MacKenzie, if your squirrels are like mine, you don't have much of a choice about feeding them. They never give up and usually win at least a partial victory. That squirrel on your feeder sees a squirrel feeder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Very nice @C6Bill! Last night was pizza night here. Hadn't done any in ages and got a wild hare (hair?) Upfront - storebought pizza dough and sauce (Trader Joe's). Did 3 personal sized ones - Margarita (homegrown basil), N'duja and mushrooms, and a no-sauce one with slices of fresh homegrown tomatoes, bacon and caramelized onions. Sampler plate with a very nice local beer! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 YIKES, Oktoforks! A medieval torture device disguised as a BBQ accessory! I gave up on mine, as I sliced open a finger just about every time that I used them, and you still had to bind the meat to them to keep it from falling off into the fire! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the points that's the problem, but the sides of the tines - they are razor sharp and very close together, so trying to push a chicken thigh down far enough so it doesn't come off in the cook almost guarantees you'll slice yourself doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Maybe I have skinny fingers. Watch me get cut the next time I use them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied that principle to the whole bird and came out with good, juicy chicken in less time than normal. And you get more surface area exposed to your marinade. Yum. I used two KKs to cook the five birds but I do have the BIg Bad rotisserie cradle and wonder if I could have got more chickens in and got as good results using that. I must remember to use the cradle more often! @tony b I went searching across the forum for references to octofork and finger. I was sure I would find 20 and that they would all have your name on them. The search function can't be working that well this morning. I only found two. Like Mac, my fingers are fine. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C6Bill Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Someone asked recently about searing and it was mentioned that many use the top grate turned upside down right over the firebox for searing. So i figured i'd do that and take pictures for the person who had asked, then i couldn't find the thread so here i am lol This is how i reverse sear, others may do it a little differently but there are a thousand ways to cook a steak. I started at about 240 degrees. it settled there so i left it. Then after an hour and 10 minutes take the steak off to rest, i had an internal temp of 115. Then while resting i opened the bottom vents all the way and opened the top vent 3 full turns. That was plenty to get flames coming up through the grate. Then i seared 30 seconds and rotated the steak and seared for another 30 seconds. Then flipped the steak and seared it again in both directions for a nice XXX. I forgot to take any real plated shots cause i was really hungry by that point lol PS The burgers in the first shot were for the dogs, one isn't feeling well and i needed to get him to eat something. I couldn't give a burger to one dog and not the other so ........ lol Edited August 29, 2022 by C6Bill 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
