Home Cookin' The BBQ/Smokers/Smoked Meats Thread...

Dang, dude. You're a way better neighbor than I am. 3 racks in a vac pack at Costco is like $25-28, isn't it? I've got no need to feed my neighbors $80-$100 worth of ribs, not including what it costs me in time to smoke 'em.
Well one of my neighbors home brews, really well, so I get money back there at least. Block parties rule!
 
Went to Beef Palace today. Bought a jar of the house rub among other things. Has anyone tried the house rub? What's it the best on?
 
Babybacks, BITCHES!!! For dinner tonight. I'm gonna fire up The Hulk (my XL Big Green Egg) at about 1130 to do the 2-2-1 method ribs.

Today's rib rub: Memphis-style!!!

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp granulated garlic
2 tbsp granulated onion
4 tbsp paprika
4 tbsp chili powder
4 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
4 TEASPOONS cayenne (sure...get it confused with tablespoons...I dare ya!)

That recipe seems to have given me about 2.5 cups worth of rub. Maybe enough to save for another time.

EDIT: 1pm THEY ON, SUCKAS!!

Damn, those were tasty. That rub is a very good balance of sweet and spicy, I think. Made a nice bark. Good smoke ring. Though they were very moist, I think they were a bit too "fall-off-the-bone" for me. Maybe fifteen minutes less in the foil and they'd probably have turned out with just the right amount of pull.

And dammit. Forgot to snap a few pics before we chowed. All that's left now is the bones.
 
what about just foil them for one hour?

wish I could do the babyback ribs more often but they are the diet busters.

Haven't bought it but I have had them rub it on things before I left the store. Very good rub, like the flavor of BBQ potato chips. :)
 
Been existing on pulled pork sandwiches for the last few days. Got a 5 lb. shoulder at Ralphs for $5 and did it @250 for about 12 hours. Got awesome bark and pink smoke rings. Soooo good.

Pound boneless/skinless chicken breasts to 1/4" thickness
Cut jalape?os length-wise, removing seeds and ribs, fill with two tablespoon of cream/colby jack cheese mixture
Wrap jalape?o in chicken breast
Wrap chicken breast in bacon

Grill at 350 for 20-25 minutes, turning every 4-5 minutes.

****IN A!!!!!
 
Tried out the smoker for the first time today. Tri tip with a salt & pepper rub. Apple wood chips. Came out delicious! Tomorrow were gonna try ribs and chicken. Fingers crossed!

After eating that tri tip I'm kicking myself in the butt for not buying a smoker sooner. It was delicious and I rarely eat red meat!
 
Made half a dozen of those jalape?o chicken bombs this evening on the Egg. TASTY.

There's a need for a better seal to keep the cheese inside the rolled up ball...or a cheese that doesn't completely liquefy like cream cheese does. Most of the cheese mixture ended up on the foil under neat the grate (I did them indirect-heat style).
 
Dang. Gonna have to fire up the new replacement smoker this weekend and do a tri-tip. Ya'll making me hungry!

**My last smoker got smoked to death (electric short). Warranty replacement.
 
Been meaning to go there.

One of the few places that has a lot of traeger pellets, and Alder too. Look into getting the folding shelf. cabelas has the tailgate attachments for 28, retail is 80. I thought about picking that up. Ideally I would like to the Ptg,but the cheapest i found is 249, a bit much.
