BCC, ABT and a few other items on the big WSM

[Winz]

Was looking for an excuse to use a newly acquired 22.5 WSM:

Beer can chicken sounds good:



Rubbed with my new favorite dry rub:



Lots of space to fill - some ABTs sound good.  For filling, I used blue cheese, cream cheese, and cajun sausage:



Going to make a hash including grilled corn, grilled peppers, diced red potato, garlic, diced onion, and seasoning.  Bisbee gets the call:





Good lord this thing is big!





The payoff - Caprise salad (heirloom tomatoes are in season), bacon/blue ABTs, Cesar salad with homemade dressing (took me years to perfect), grilled corn hash, and dry rubbed beer can chicken, all washed down with a nice chardonnay.   It was a nice dinner with Mrs Winz on the deck enjoying the evening.

Great job on the cook Winz. I have yet to  use my ceramic chicken stand. How much charcoal and how long did it take for the chicken to cook. Everything looked awesome.

Nicely done sir! I like that you used a WSM and a kettle for one meal.

How did you like the blue cheese in the ABT? We tried it awhile back and found it a little sharp using a Roquefort. Also had 1/2 the batch with cream/blue cheese with a granny  smith apple. Trying to cut the "twang" with a little sweetness

Jimmy - I mixed the cream cheese, blue cheese, and sausage together before stuffing the ABTs - this allowed me to moderate how much blue cheese taste went into the turds.  I love blue cheese, so I used a lot.  Strong bacon/blue was the taste profile I was shooting for.  I like your apple idea - a new texture with some sweetness.  Another idea would be candied pecans - crunchy and sweet.

Oh, the hash is a great way to enjoy all the summer corn we have.
A secret Caesar salad dressing? Might need to ask for that!
