Sanny Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 CAUTION: Some viewers may find the following photos offensive, since they depict a ceramic cooker of non-Indonesian origin. Tough. Livvy and her new cooker: Pork butts, with Dizzy dust, ready to go! Someone's awake WAY too late... Bedtime for cooker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeDJ16 Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Nice butts there Sanny! -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curly Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 You think Livvy loved you before...she's gonna love you on a whole nuther level now Nice looking stuff. Did they have a good bark on them (crunchy crust)? I ususally put the dry rub on, then slather with mustard and then more dry rub. Don't know if the mustard really helps cause I've never done butts without the mustard...but I get a nice bark. And I use a lot of Dizzy products...good stuff, good folks to deal with. Congrats!

Sanny Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 The butts were good - lots of chewy bits. Yesterday's ribs were great! I did them low and slow for over 6 hours, with some Dizzy dust, and then basted in the last hour with some maple syrup and cider vinegar baste. They're even better today, reheated in the 'wave, which leads me to the conclusion that they could have stayed on a bit longer. Wouldn't have hurt, except we'd have all starved to death. I gave a slab (of the two I made) to my dad, and we had a few ribs (and grilled scarygrass, bok choy, and corn) for sup. Today I wrapped 3 or 4 for a delivery guy (and two fresh garden tomatoes) who dropped off a pallet of coconut extruded lump. Better than cash for him, but I think I gave too wealthy a tip. Seems there are only 4 ribs left, out of 2 slabs. Whahappend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanny Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hope Livvy gets those ribs bones Nope, no real bones for Livvy. She gets nasty and snarls to protect them. But she had a rib end or two, and liked it just fine! And she's been out in the yard "helping" by cleaning the drips on the cement around the outside of the cooker. Naturally, it is pure altruism and desire to help that motivates her. Not that she's suckin pork juice, or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should ask Gerard this question, but I have always heard cooked bones were very bad for the dog's stomach and intestines and that only raw or blanched bones should be given to them. How about it Gerard? -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanny Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 My neighbor had a restaurant, and used to bring home giant ham bones (from soup) for her dog. Gave Livvy one, once. Not only did Livvy get mean and nasty, but the "ham bone hangover" was misery for us both. Goodness, what it did for both ends of her digestion! Never again...

billyg Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 where did you get that cover for your kamado? Do you think it would fit one of Dennis's otb supremes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoliver Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Yeah, we don't ever give our dog table scraps for that reason but bones don't seem to bother him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoliver Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 where did you get that cover for your kamado? Do you think it would fit one of Dennis's otb supremes I can see why Sanny would want to cover up her grill But why would you want to cover up one of Dennis works of art???

Sanny Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 where did you get that cover for your kamado? Do you think it would fit one of Dennis's otb supremesThere is a guy who does custom covers. His name is John. [email protected]. He did a beautiful job, no? I believe he had been an upholsterer in a past life. And I thought the price quite reasonable for a custom made cover. Perhaps he could work with you to make one for your otb. Mine is Sunbrella fabric, which is good in sun or rain or snow, and it has a bungee cord below so it doesn't flap in wind. Looks rather like a content bhudda, all covered um. Mmmm....achieve Nirvana by eating Q... That, or someone threw a sheet over "Danger, Wil Robinson!" (edit for spelling) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samantha Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 coco extruded lump Sanny....did the lump you received have any mold on it? A couple of the K posters seemed to have a problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 My cooker is a size 5, and so is its cover. The cover guy does make all sizes, as far as I know. I've not opened all the boxes of lump, but what I've seen is nice and dry. No fur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkchop Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 very nice pics of the first butt-O-rama sanny!! it's so funny you mention how livvy (very sweet looking puppy!) really dug on the k-drippings on the cement. back about a year ago, my old neighbor had a big ol' english bulldog named "dexter". we became best buddies after awhile. he'd see me cooking and come charging over for some love. his mom didn't mind that i gave him the occasional snack off the grill. but what was REALLY funny was that, everytime she took him outside to do his deal, he'd make a beeline for the k, and circle it a couple times, nose to the ground, looking for "k detrius". sorry to hear livvy has "issues" with bones. you'll have to make up for it by producing the occasional chicken breast or sausage for her! what's your next planned project for break in? you might try either pork loin or pork tenderloin. they take smoke great and look wonderful sliced. dramatic smoke ring. a brined, slow smoked whole loin makes a great dinner and great coldcuts later!

Sanny Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 very nice pics of the first butt-O-rama sanny!! Thanks! I had some for lunch today, and it was yummy from the microwave, too. A coworker forgot her lunch, so I split my little portion into two littler portions, and we shared. Tastes much better shared, by the way. ...he'd make a beeline for the k, and circle it a couple times, nose to the ground, looking for "k detrius".Yah, Livvy now checks around the cooker "just in case" there might be a little "love" left outside for her from the last time she checked. lol what's your next planned project for break in? you might try either pork loin or pork tenderloin. they take smoke great and look wonderful sliced. dramatic smoke ring. a brined, slow smoked whole loin makes a great dinner and great coldcuts later!Hmmm... brined pork? Never knew one could/should brine a pork. I thought that was more a bird thing. Sounds yummy! With what does one brine? Costco had the prettiest pork loin, too.... I saw a stuffed pork loin that just looked amazing!! Stuffed with all sorts of yummy things. Might have to try that, too. Of course Snooky says he doesn't really eat much red meat (he must not have read the ad about pork being the other WHITE meat), so I might have to Q him some fish or seafood pretty soon.
