Title: Bob's Beef-O-Rama................Extra Pieces......***
Post by: 1buckie on March 07, 2013, 02:54:47 PM
 Put this together for the 'Ring this AM......
Yesterday's cook ~~~~>

 
1st......
A big hi-howdy shout out to all who are intrepid enough to shovel thru four feet of snow
to get to their cookers !!!!

My Feet....
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef033.jpg)

Yep, it's bare feet, steppin' on hot coals weather in sunny California........

2nd.....
The new & improved Photobucket is running a little slow & takes some getting used to,
but this AM I uploaded a folders worth of pics by hi-liting one, holding the Ctrl. button down,
tapping "A" to hi-lite all & then uploading ( to the wrong folder, so I got to do it again.. :oops: )
took about two minutes to load....good so far...... then Photobucket made the computer so sluggish
that everything wiped out & I  had to re-do this entire post......battin' a thousand, so far.......

3rd......
This is Bob blowin' some thin blue.....
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef021.jpg)

He's old & getting a bit of gray hair....
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef015.jpg)

(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef017.jpg)

That speckling you see is what's left of his original jet black coating he had at birth in the mid 1970's.....
He had a hard life before I rescued him & brought him to live here at the Kettle Orphanage......

But, he can still crank out the Q with the best of them !!!

Bob's Beef-O-Rama................

A tri-tip.......
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef009.jpg)

A brisket point......
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef008.jpg)

Tip got an injection of a specialized Woosty type stuff & a granulated garlic rub.....
point got Big Ron's beef moisturizer injection & an "In the House" rub to match..........
Didn't watch the brisket trimming video so it'll have to do.......

Charcoal setup.........
Otta call these things 'Smoke Rings", but I think that name's already been co-opted !!   :D  :lol:

(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef006.jpg)

Startup......
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef030.jpg)

Aways in it didn't seem like the heat was coming up enough, so I forwarded the coals to encourage things
to get going a bit......
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef027.jpg)

Put down a few sausages to chop up in the beans....
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef028.jpg)

Bean pan in @ 2-1/2 hours.....
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef031.jpg)

Here's what the burn looked like about 1/2way around....
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef037.jpg)

Beans in jail......
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef048.jpg)

Thinking the brisket would come around to done maybe somewhere near the tip,
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef050.jpg)
I separated the coal line at the end......Silly me....brisket takes longer, even if it's smaller, I guess
I've always wanted to do these side-by-side, so this is it......

Oak & Apple make  for a nice color...
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef038.jpg)

Fired up Lulu for some taters.....
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef053.jpg)

Tip was well done way ahead of point.....
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef045.jpg)

Pull apart.....
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef062.jpg)

Tri tip....just like brisket is supposed to do...........

Please note: There is no knife in this photo, it's not needed...
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef063.jpg)

After a short nap, the brisket is done......
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef066.jpg)

I like the point....it's yummy !!!

for what it takes to get where I need to go, the tri=tip is an easier cook, though.... :D

Thanks fer Lookin' !!!

Oh, the beans did get out of jail.....
(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/1st%202013%20chicken/3-6-2013%20%20Beef/3-6-2013Beef055.jpg)

Beer can turkey...it may take a big can of Fosters Lager to fit in the turkey! If nothing else it would be in honor of our OZ mates! The XC want to try the jester hat on!

Post by: 1buckie on March 07, 2013, 04:13:45 PM


Don't know if any kind of can will actually fit in there, but  i found a huge sized prop-up that I'm almost sure is for just that purpose...... ;)

Thanks, Man.... !!!!!

It was a good day to cook & the T-tip was almost too purty to cut up..... ;D

Hope the photo essay helps anyone who wants to do cooks like this......

Great cook buckie. Old bob sure knows his stuff!

Post by: 1buckie on March 07, 2013, 07:26:47 PM

 Thanks, "bob"....... 8)

His settle point for cooks like this is 250 ~ 260 degrees, evey time he goes right there & stays put, no Guru, no nuthin', just stays put like he knows he's supposed to do that....it's almost scary..... :o

Post by: Ted B on March 07, 2013, 08:14:47 PM
Great to see you out kill'n it!!  Wow, your cooks always amaze me.  You do a lot of stuff on one grill with the beans and all.  One of these days I have to try that with the beans.
Title: Re: Bob's Beef-O-Rama................
Post by: 1buckie on March 08, 2013, 01:33:56 AM
  Thanks, man !!!!!


 Yep, Ted.....it's a winner with the drippings like that......

Nothing like some good "Beef Goo" to flavorize your vegetable/ legume dish !!!!

Except for maybe pork shoulder drippings, which, I think, are better....... ;D

Just to be on the safe side, I cook whatever type roasts for an hour or two before dripping juice into the beans.........
Probably it would be OK just to start out with them underneath, but I gotta thing about raw pork
& where it's juice lands.......
Plus, your beans get overdone if run for the whole time say, a shoulder was cooking....typical for me would be 5~6 hours stewing......... :)

Thanks AJ & Ray !!!!

It was an enjoyable day cooking & relaxing with the dawgs in the yard......new sod on the lawn seems to be taking up pretty well, I got a whole truckload of bluegrass for free & couldn't pass up the bargain price..... ;D

Post by: javahog2002 on March 08, 2013, 07:29:52 PM

Post by: 1buckie on March 08, 2013, 07:41:49 PM


Beans were really good....next day, the wife insists on adding brown sugar & some ketchup to a portion of them....

"Why don't you just open a regular can of pork'n'beans?" sez I.....

The beef was killer !!!!

Burnt ends tomorrow, perhaps ........ ;D

Still holding a slight lead in the bacon throwdown......



Thanks, Ron, the tips are a good idea, they produce just the right amount of juice...... ;D
