ckreef Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 Teaser post because I know how much CC loves them - LOL It's 5:45 am. Super Jr has been heat soaking at 250* for the last hour or so. Butt (6 lb bone in) is now on grate with cherry wood for the smoke profile. We bought some mini spring form pans yesterday and Mrs skreef is promising a nice personal sized desert for after dinner. Back to bed I go for a while. Hawke will be the pit tender later today so me and Mrs skreef can go riding the bike. More pictures later on.
bryan Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 Good looker. Note: I run my probe wire through that smll hole on the right then use rubber plug.
ckreef Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Posted April 12, 2015 Good looker. Note: I run my probe wire through that smll hole on the right then use rubber plug. Unfortunately the 16.5" doesn't have the probe port. No worries doesn't hurt anything going through the dome opening.
bryan Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 Thanks for the up date on the 16. You do some super cooks.
tinyfish Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 Look who's up early... Never thought I say this to another guy but here goes "your butt looks fine"!
ckreef Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Posted April 12, 2015 Thanks for the up date on the 16. You do some super cooks. ckreef, that is going to be some tasty TY Shack and MacKenzie. Temp is up a few degrees but rolling steady. Not touching it.
ckreef Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Posted April 12, 2015 Look who's up early... Never thought I say this to another guy but here goes "your butt looks fine"! That's what she said - LOL
ckreef Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Posted April 12, 2015 Weather is turning crappy - motorcycle ride canceled (glad we went yesterday). Homemade baked beans instead.
ckreef Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Posted April 12, 2015 Browned the beef, cooked the bacon, caramelized the onions and peppers, deglazed the pan with Brandy. Pureed the peaches - only used half the can since it was a big can. Drained the beans. My Dutch oven was not cooperating today so everything in a skillet. Tight fit - LOL
tony b Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 Double Thumbs Up on the Brandy! I use Bourbon in my baked beans, dark rum in my black beans (Cuban), and tequila in my chili beans!
ckreef Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Posted April 12, 2015 Double Thumbs Up on the Brandy! I use Bourbon in my baked beans, dark rum in my black beans (Cuban), and tequila in my chili beans! I would have used Bourbon but I drank it - LOL - Brandy is what I had - it was 80 proof Brandy - in cooking they substitute reasonably well for each other - IMHO anyway. Anywho - about 2 1/2 hours into the beans, I tasted them (winging it today) and they needed something - added another component - they're coming along - 4 hours is what I'm looking for.
CeramicChef Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 ckreef - this is gonna be some kind of good! Tell Hawke I said CONGRATS on being responsible enough and knowing enough to be left in charge of a butt on Super Jr! You've done very well with Hawke, Charles! KUDOS!

Tell Hawke I said CONGRATS on being responsible enough and knowing enough to be left in charge of a butt on Super Jr! You've done very well with Hawke, Charles! KUDOS!In the end I didn't leave him in charge. The rain came - I stayed at home tending the pit - Mrs skreef did her hair - Hawke played video games online with his friends - but he did clean my early morning mess and that was no small feat - LOL 1
MacKenzie Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 ckreef, those beans are looking very goooooooood:) 1
ckreef Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Posted April 12, 2015 4 hours into the beans. Transfered them to a crock pot to keep warm. Mrs skreef needs the kamado oven for desert. Butt is 8 1/2 hours and at 190* IT - not much longer now.
ckreef Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Posted April 12, 2015 Desert on. Desert off. Wax on, wax off - LOL
ckreef Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Posted April 12, 2015 10 hours, IT 201*. Wrapped and in the cooler. Dinner in an hour or so.
