Happy Birthday, America! Let me start of by saying that.  :D

At just after 0:00 hours the first cook of the big day has begun. Two Boston butts. (9.5 and 6.9 lbs) have been rubbed, and put on the blue MT with the CB stacker smoke hood.

Awesome cooks already today...I almost feel bad posting my boring cook pictures..

Anyway, enjoyed breakfast so much yesterday, decided to do something similar on my 26'r.

Grill warmed up and putting a few strips of think cut bacon

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj114/indy82z/0704150830.jpg) (http://s270.photobucket.com/user/indy82z/media/0704150830.jpg.html)

Bacon looking really good...flipped it and added some sausage

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj114/indy82z/20150704_085052.jpg) (http://s270.photobucket.com/user/indy82z/media/20150704_085052.jpg.html)

Bacon about done..time to add cheese to the sausage

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj114/indy82z/20150704_085904.jpg) (http://s270.photobucket.com/user/indy82z/media/20150704_085904.jpg.html)

Time for the eggs with cheese on the top

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj114/indy82z/20150704_090531.jpg) (http://s270.photobucket.com/user/indy82z/media/20150704_090531.jpg.html)

and the final results...made a little too much eggs for the cheese to hold together so I guess I get a bonus of some scrambled eggs with my sandwich and bacon

Happy 4th everyone!

We have a bunch of friends and family coming later this afternoon to celebrate the 4th and enjoy some BBQ. I just got the brisket (Costco Prime) on the kettle at 6am and will be firing up the WSM around 11am, to do up a couple racks of spares.

This is my first long cook on a kettle, wish me luck!

I set my coals (2x2x1) up last night. Stubbs... ;D with cherry and hickory chunks for the fire.

(https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3813/19219624708_2400093f07_c.jpg)

Kosher salt, cracked black pepper and granulated garlic is my rub for this 10lb hunk-o-meat.

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3779/19219624768_5c859d12c3_c.jpg)

Here we go!

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/431/19219624848_99c490617b_c.jpg)

Settled in at @ 275...

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3757/19219624888_92f373fcac_c.jpg)

This is just before I flipped and rotated the whole set-up at the 4-hour mark.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/447/19224332368_0e7516853a_c.jpg)

Spares all prepped and ready for the WSM!

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/543/19229457529_6a93676b96_c.jpg)

Lump, with some Apricot from the tree in our yard, is the chosen fuel for this cook.

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3899/19229457599_6a6cdfe1a0_c.jpg)

Had a quick look at the 8-hour mark, with an internal temp of 190.

Not yet probe tender...

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/350/19229456800_6a3567f5a3_c.jpg)

Brisket is almost ready! Meanwhile, ribs are gettin wrapped at the 3-hour mark...color looks good to me... 8)

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/379/19233385749_1261388783_c.jpg)

*Day After Edit*

Right after I added the pic of the ribs getting foiled, guests started showing up. I wish I would have gotten a few pics of the plated food, but was just too distracted, oh well. I had a look in the fridge this morning and there are only a couple rib bones leftover.   

I love seeing MBHs employed for long cooks. Especially redheads! Keep em coming!

A Happy 4th of July to all you fine people in your great country!

This butt cook began HERE (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/meetups-events/2015-wkc-summer-ecook-day-three!-july-3rd-2015/msg174211/#msg174211).  It was on for not-quite 8 hours overnight.

After resting, it pulled easily.  Not a pronounced smoke ring as I did not use a lot of salt. 
I was experimenting, so I didn't go with a rub.  Just S&P and a generous amount of brown sugar .... Made for some delicious bark.

Fried up some eggs (on the stove).  ??? :-\   Piled on some pp, and chowed down.

It was suggested I submit these for the ecook so here I go! 

Had a quick lunch of two kettle pizzas before starting our Independence Day adventure. 

I tried something new this time, taking foil and wrapping a grill grate with foil to simulate a baking steel.

(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/04/0cde78829a46c2750ed2669f74c23fbf.jpg)

I used my one touch platinum for the first time I recently picked up for $20.   Thanks to Dustin for sending me a replacement ash catcher as it didn't come with one

(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/04/056702e3347f66ebd6c7f38152f632ad.jpg)

I used a chimney of charcoal and some chucks of cherry and hickory.

(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/04/6d6d5f7c592f281a39f9589a2b3fa373.jpg)

We did the first pie on the pizza pan. Eventually we'll make a round pizza, but not today.

(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/04/66922029458d39233b01d1eeb37febd0.jpg)

Finished in under 2 minutes with the grill at at least 800 degrees (my guess as we were beyond the scope of the thermometer).

(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/04/aa9dfdd73dcda0e991e0e430366ec7db.jpg)

The second one was made on the peel and cooked in the stone directly. 

(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/04/5031930551e1d77cc93ef42c8cfc12d9.jpg)

I think I need to add done charcoal under he stone next time as the pizzas were better than previous attempts but still a little doughy in the middle.

Happy July 4th to all! Wishing you an excellent day with your families (Weber and Literal!)

Some really kickass breakfast posts already!! Jeep rocking the Ebelskivers (nice!), blieb with some creative bbq sauce work and Idahawk with the full grand slam!

Here's my meager offering of grilled breakfast burritos. My little griddle has been getting a workout just keeping up with all the bacon demands the past few days ;)

Bacon up first:

Construction time:

Carefully wrapped up and placed back on the bacon grease coated griddle:

A min or two on the first side then flip...
(http://pics.weberkettleclub.com/images/2015/07/04/d4b07.jpg)

... and serve!

Happy 4th of July, Everyone!  Just sitting here waiting for the rain to stop long enough so I can get my entry on the grill.  Going with a small buffalo ribeye tonight so it shouldn't take all that long.  Sure glad I decided to try my first pork shoulder on Sunday instead of today!

i'm late to the game!  but i got stuffs for the grill.  and i bought EXTRA lighter fluid...not running out!   ;) ;) ;)

And Buffalo hot dogs,smoked sausage and Applewood smoked chicken hot dogs  and grilled peaches for dessert!

Ate too much again for breakfast and was not hungry for lunch today so decided to do a little cold smoking in the 26'r.

Grabbed a bag of Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos

Fired up the A-maze-n cold smoker in the 26'r

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj114/indy82z/20150704_135932.jpg) (http://s270.photobucket.com/user/indy82z/media/20150704_135932.jpg.html)

Added the Doritos in a aluminum pan

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj114/indy82z/20150704_140507.jpg) (http://s270.photobucket.com/user/indy82z/media/20150704_140507.jpg.html)

and smoked for 2 1/2 hours

(http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj114/indy82z/20150704_162402.jpg) (http://s270.photobucket.com/user/indy82z/media/20150704_162402.jpg.html)

Oh so good....these Doritos rock, but the addition of smoke just puts them over the top..highly recommended!!

Welp........

Got some stuff done on Day Two & took it to work......snarfed up quickly by all the crew.....

I did terrible at the job for the last half of the day & came home beat to a pulp......

Took all day yesterday to recuperate & started fixing stuff early this AM to have a rotating grill up / smoke up all day today......got one tri-tip injected & running very low at 6:30 & the wife wants to go to Denny's for breakfast (does this all the time, the whole bunch over there knows her by name)

I say i need to finish getting the rest of the stuff ready & then maybe I'll go.....that happens, hop in the shower & she goes out the door first while I'm getting the dawgs in & locking the back....

She comes flying back in like there's a nuclear bomb went off in the front yard & after a minute of shaking & stuttering & get her to tell me what's up...the cat got run over & is out by the street....
Somebody (maybe the new neighbors) was nice enough to drag him out of the middle of the street & cover him up, so we spent the next 1-1/2 hrs. finding a place to drop him off.....hardly anybody's open on the 4th.....

Her Dad died last week & now her Lou-Lou....pretty tore up & so am I.....he steered clear of the dawgs the time they have been here, so I became more his buddy as he stayed out in the garage, driveway & carport  & was very smart about going near cars or the street....must have just been too old & slow at 13 years......
He's even got a Weber named after him, the one the wife had to get rid of from her apartment before we were married....

Here's the fuzzy guy.....

Here's the Kettle named after him.....

Fired up Lulu for some taters.....

Here's the tri-tip at about 2/3 of the ring of coals burnt, running at 200~220 with a few 250 spikes.....thin parts temp @200+ so it should be pullable in an hour or so....

(http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/1buckie/2015/Fourth%20of%20July%2015/P1010077.jpg)

Two more tri-tip to go, two different ways...... 8)

Real sorry to hear about both Lou-Lou And your father in law Ken. That's a real tough couple pills to swallow on their own, let alone just a few weeks apart. Very cool you were able to honor her with a cook up on your like-named kettle.

Take care of yourself and the fam and I hope a small part of you is able to find some enjoyment this weekend. All the best,

Matt

Initial cook on the Aristocratic
I am going to love this thing.

Ribs, decided that a rack and 1/2 was not enough so I got another rack and did some Roto style.

Thanks man.....LuLu (I think it was short for Lucifer as he would turn around & bite you if you'd pet him wrong when he was younger!!) was a great little guy....a codger of sorts, like me..... 8) ;D

Too many, way too many great cooks going on here this week to totally stop the show !!!!

Edited to add some pics of what i cooked up...... sausage with grilled onions and jalapeños.... and burgers with with and without extra jalapeños.

That's an excellent looking meal cookingmama, thanks for sharing!  ;)

Dangit, Ken. Sorry about Lu-Lu.

I am on duty today and we will just grill some bratts for dinner. I did want to show off some kettle work for the guys, so I threw together a simple fatty and armadillo eggs.

Cool.....love to see the Westerners up & running.....think of how  (likely) few total cooks have ever been done on these rigs.....

Split and soaked a red cedar cooking  plank into staves to use to bind the fillet to the spit after a 4 hour brine , smoked for 3 hours at 200  until around 150 degrees , let it smoke in the open for dramatic flair :). Sausage , spuds , pea salad and more food then a man can eat ....

Small cook for today. Steaks and dogs on the speckled offset Smokey Joe.

(http://www.thunderforge.com/BBQ/20150704_Speckled_Kettle_Cook/IMG_0548.JPG)

Great day! Great cooks from everyone and I really enjoyed being a part of this event. As I was taking pictures of the grill I was explaining to everyone about this event and it was cool to think that at the exact same time somewhere someone was doing exactly what I was doing. To everyone in the WKC - thanks for being awesome and loving kettles as much as I do - it makes me feel almost normal.

The party cook...

36 - 80/20 burgers w/sharp cheddar, 24 Hebrew National hot dogs, 12 beer Brats, 4 jalapeño cheddar burgers, 4 black bean veggie burgers, and 2 crab cakes. 48 people came to the house we even started feeding the neighbors that happened to be passing by. Great 4th and I wish I could do it again tomorrow...wait can I?

I will have to get the photos from my wife tomorrow but I have a few here that I snapped during the party.

Rainy start to the 4th for us, but managed to get in a simple cook in advance of a gathering at my BILs place. Nice view for cooking under cover:
(https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3945/18809978504_47c14e0216_c.jpg)
Thanks to @Winz, I had the perfect chance to try out this rub - it was good on everything!
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/457/19436691511_07163676fd_c.jpg)
I overloaded a 22 and an 18 (the 22 I gifted to him after hearing that he only had an 18, and we needed to cook for 25. Still could have used more room!)
(https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3938/19244912868_cd2587209d_c.jpg)
Poppers and chicken were first, but after this things got busy with burgers and dogs. No time for pics - by that time the place was mobbed.

Even in the rain is was a good time. Cleared up in time for fireworks, and we had steamed crabs to deal with by then, so the grills were done for the day.

Had just enough time between showers last night to do a buffalo ribeye and asparagus spears outside (really need a canopy). 

(http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm175/tejones357/IMG_0733_zpsmnhqd26n.jpg) (http://s296.photobucket.com/user/tejones357/media/IMG_0733_zpsmnhqd26n.jpg.html)

Tried a reverse sear after the temp on the maverick said 140, should have set the thing to rare, absolutely no red in the center, but my wife said she enjoyed it so it wasn't a total loss.  Not pictured were baby red potatoes that were tossed with duck fat.  They were cooked in the oven while it was still raining out.

Here's my cookup for July 4th. Just close family this year, not a housefull like some of ya, but still was a great time.

I started out with a variant of ABT's. This was inspired by a family recipe we call "good bread" - it's a simple thing you make with canned biscuits. Dip them in butter, roll them in a mixture of grated parmesan cheese, diced green peppers, diced onions, and crumble bacon. Line them standing up side by side in a loaf pan & bake 'til the biscuits are done. (it takes 2 whole cans of biscuits to make 1 loaf),

Anyway, the good bread inspired me to make peppers. I started out with sweet peppers, cleaned out the stems & seeds, and a super thick slice of onion, right out of the middle.

Took 2 tablespoons of butter, and with the back of a spoon, I mixed in as much parmesan cheese as i could get mixed into the butter.

Smeared the butter cheese mixture in the peppers, and added shaved parmesan cheese too just in case.

BIG chunks of onions on top of the parm...

black pepper (it just sounded right)

wrapped in bacon @1buckie style, and on the grill. I used a full large chimney of Royal Oak briquettes for this cook.

(http://pics.weberkettleclub.com/images/2015/07/05/DSC01974.jpg)


about 20 minutes in, I rolled them in more grated parmesan, just to give them a crust.

(http://pics.weberkettleclub.com/images/2015/07/05/DSC01975.jpg)


about 30 minutes they were done, the cheese soaked up some of the bacon juice, and got crispy.

(http://pics.weberkettleclub.com/images/2015/07/05/DSC01976.jpg)


Reworked the grill so I could cook our meal... We have Johnsonville brats, Meijer Brats, and Meijer's certified angus ground chuck burgers.

Because I was traveling over the 4th holiday, I wasn't sure I was going to get to participate.  However, my buddy threw a big party and he just happens to be the owner of the very first Weber I ever rescued, a blue SS performer that was spray painted black when I got it.  It matches his own blue OTG:

For a big party, Paella is a fun dish to cook.  Rendering the fat out of the spanish chorizo:

It was great to get a chance to cook on my very first WKC RRR kettle.  We fed 25 people with Paella and pulled pork sandwiches.


Winz

^^ Outstanding Winz - that looks incredible!

Barely snuck in a cook last night after my buddies party. Brined a bunch of legs in brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder and a few dashes of Worcester sauce. Came out very tender, with some Mac on the side.

I am getting in my pics from the 4th a little late. I am at my inlaws with a weber OTS and an old portable kitchen to use. I smoked some ribs on the 3rd, some dogs and sausage for lunch on the 4th, and pulled pork for dinner.

The reunion was a great success, it was fun to cook and make new family memories. Not pictures was the drumsticks on the yellow. I forgot. The Wood Dale red served as the "warmer" for the burgers and dogs and chicken. Everyone loved the food, were blown away by seeing so many kettles (they saw my garage too) My cousin mentioned that with the food being as good as it was, it justifies my owning so many grills. 🏻

Wow everyone's cooks look great !
We smoked a whole shoulder/leg ,
Took about 14 hours on the 22 wsm.
Only got a few pics got busy playing games and drinking , not shown 3 grills with mushrooms , abts , and bacon wrapped asparagus.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Way to stand up for us multiple grill owners Craig. I figure the more folks who actually understand our sickness the better.

Beauty cookup and collection too bye the way.

I didn't do anything to fancy. Just some baby backs.

Here's the raw product, after having been rubbed and refrigerated overnight.
(http://i.imgur.com/q7caaYf.jpg)

Here they are right after putting them on the grill. I had a mix of hickory and apple chunks sitting on top of my charcoal snake to provide that yummy smoke. That's some trimmings on there with the ribs. I was fixing some beans, and I was going to cook the trimmings and chop it up to add to the beans.

Here's the ribs after I've sauced them and right before pulling them from the grill. I used the Memphis-style sauce recipe from Serious Eats.
(http://i.imgur.com/lx7jKqm.jpg)

Finally, a plate with some ribs, tangy apple slaw, and beans. I had some pulled pork from a previous smoke in the beans. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't add the pulled pork.

In honor of the Forth I decided to use a fuse with two small chunks of maple for flavor.

The guest's of honor, rack on top is dressed in Big Dick's Rib Rub and
the bottom rack is fitted out in Big Dick's Big Kahuna Rub
(think pineapple & orange hints with light heat) which has a nice light golden yellow color.

(http://pics.weberkettleclub.com/images/2015/07/05/Ribsfortheforth4.jpg)
Temps slowly crept up to 270 over two and a half hours, then into foil for an hour with a
touch more of the correct rub for each rack with about about 2 ounces pure apple juice.

(http://pics.weberkettleclub.com/images/2015/07/05/Ribsfortheforth5.jpg)
I should have swapped bigger rack closer to the heat as it was a bit much for the
small rack because it just tore in half while moving back to re set the bark.
A usual I was to busy shoving pork meat in my craw to get any plated pics..
But it was great served with a fresh made macaroni salad and drip beans..

I know I'm late to the game but here is what I smoked on the 4th. I used my standard rub on the pork shoulder and Weber's Kickin Chicken rub on the chicken halves.

Thanks @1buckie! It was an interesting overnight smoke.  I learned to always DOUBLE check the bottom air vents to make sure they are open  ;)

Happy 4th of July!

Thanks!
We had a family get together. Not sure if I'm going to have time for competition this year. I will say that is always a friendly competition between me and my niece when I do BBQ. I love teaching her everything I know cause then she thinks she can do it better! LOL!
