Title: New Years 2012/13 Cooks
Post by: Duke on December 31, 2012, 10:43:10 AM
Happy New Years everyone!

I thought I would start a thread to post NY cooks in. I will be cooking another rib roast and sides today and will post pictures again as it goes. Please post any pictures you want from tonight to make it a little more interesting. ;)

Okay, here's the star of the show. It's another rib roast rubbed with Dizzy Pig original right before a black walnut smoke bath. I decided to use the Cue Cart since it was sunny and I cleaned it up after sitting for about three months.

  OHoooooooo!!!

Black Walnut, my favorite !!!

I've got a bunch of huge rounds I've had for years & the core of them is still real good & hard as a rock....

Great smoke flavor !!!

That's going to be outstanding !!!


PS: Newly seasoned black walnut can be really strong, ( for other folks that may not know...)

So tonight I thought I might try (for the first time) A stuffed pork tenderloin smoking with peach wood. Served with A white gravy I made from the bacon grease.

OOOH! That looks good!  :o Way to go Bob!  The gravy looks amazing.  :)

Thanks Buckie, my walnut is about three years old, but thanks for the tip. It can be really bitter if it's over used. I still like it though. ;) Sometimes I use my Kona Rub on a tri tip smoked with black walnut. Talk about a leathery awesomeness! It's a real winter recipe.

Did the standing rib roast part duex. I wanted to try it rotisserie style, but it was too cold outside to fuss with a kettle. So I did the same thing I did Christmas Eve. No pics, but the results were the same as last week...and I did post pics of that one.

Here's mine. I grilled some lamb chops (as requested by SWMBO) and some vegetables.

Vegies sliced and ready to go.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-QtI3P-WCx9c/UONmPKTZiqI/AAAAAAAANzQ/wZpgH12FlJQ/s800/DSC_5949-PP.JPG)

And on the grill. This is the cast iron grate I use in my Silver A but it's a perfect fit in a 22 1/2 kettle as well. And the vegies don't sneak through to alight on the hot coals.  ;D

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ChsLrFG1iII/UONmKUiPg2I/AAAAAAAANy8/0tI0GOpPapo/s800/DSC_5951-PP.JPG)

Chops on now.

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-jBiXk2_XTj0/UONmKYyHnNI/AAAAAAAANy4/US7_Jsbdz08/s800/DSC_5952-PP.JPG)

And ready to serve:

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-k_5QO_lNYOA/UONmKZd4QTI/AAAAAAAANzA/v0CpWbbA01w/s800/DSC_5956-PP.JPG)

I have a new use for my gasser and some cast iron. I put the cast iron on the gasser and warm it up a little. When the veggies are ready to take off, I put them on the CI in the gasser and hold it there while I cook the rest. that way I can take the veggies off as each one reaches the perfect stage and they stay warm while the rest of the dinner cooks.

It was as good as it looks. :D

Hank, tremendous looking cook & good thinkin' on the hot holding idea.... :)

GL !!
Good combo there !!

How do you do your crab legs ?
Seasoning, length of cook ?

That's one thing I'm nervous about ~~> :-[

No seasoning on the crab, straight from the freezer to the grill. Indirect 15 minutes, rotate, about another 15/20 minutes. It was cold here today, took a tad longer. The shell will tell you when its done.
Dull in color. Remove and real butter with real garlic dipping, Mmmm.
Your a pro, should be no problem.

Remember, all crab is usually pre-cooked, your just steaming, to reheat.

Thanks, man !! I  have no problem w/ the hard, heavy smoking stuff...it's the al dente' things that baffle !!!

I'm really paying attention to the GRILLING prowess that goes on around here...Duke & Fink Farm & Brian & You and all the others  ( nobody's exempt ! ) are really good at a lot of this stuff...

Larry Wolfe's write ups are stupendous !!

A lot of great ideas & methods to be had......THANKS ONE & ALL !!!!

Here's my first Brisket of the year. Used pink sea salt and pepper only. I started it at 12:15pm and pulled it at 9:15pm. It was 5.25lbs Cut fresh today from local farm beef. Cooked it at 245 Using Kb and hickory chunks. The final internal temp was at 194 then I foil wrapped it and let it rest till 10:00pm. I used the PitmasterIQ 110 and the Maverick 732 (Worked like a charm, Thanks for the recommendations).
I must say it was super moist and tender

Thanks Buckie this was by far the best brisket I've made to date, juicy and tender!!

That's the best looking brisket I have seen in a while! Did you happen to take any grill shots?
Title: Re: New Years 2012/13 Cooks
Post by: bob hope on January 03, 2013, 05:21:11 PM
Sorry duke I did not :(. I never even flipped it or looked at it while it was cooking I just let it do its thing. My local butcher shop gets a half beef every Monday from a local farm that they cut down. I found out that they have been grinding the brisket... OMG Right!! So I now have a standing order that the full brisket is saved for me every other week. With that said I will be doing A brisket every two weeks from now on.. So more pics will come . I promise ;D

Not a huge surprise. The history of 'Q is that it was used for tough cuts of meat that were otherwise difficult to prepare. It's a method to make the meat tender enough to enjoy. (One day I'll have another run at beef cheeks. Think of the part of the cow that's always working - aside from the heart probably the most highly developed and exercised muscle on the animal!)
