Borrowed Eggs Smoke Just as VALL

Holiday FEASTS!

The feast: 8 pounds of rib eye steaks, thai chicken breasts, soy-rizo patties.

On someone else’s smoker.

Tastes even better.

Plus, it was really dark. So that was fun. We told scary stories.

Next feast? World Cup Finals.

Back down at uncle Brettskie’s we massage our meat. Extra points for the sanitary gloves.

 

David is happy

David is very pleased to have yet another BBQ at his fingertips.

Look!

Look! See! Meat! German Kielbasa and steak tips. Marinated in Italian salad dressing, salt, pepper. THE FULL SMORGASBORD (Go Germany!)

“How the fuck do I turn it off”

The Smorgasbord

Got a little bit of everything today…starting with a sheet of 50:50 lamb beef burgers for the BARBIE.

50:50 Burgers

Be sure to tend the egg. Love and Care.

Let ‘er sit and crank it up to 500 F.

On the menu we have boneless chicken breasts (for the cat and dog), beef tri-tip and lamb popsicles. And for a side: double stuffed, twice baked (artery-clogging) potatoes. Double stuffed potatoes

The master slices lovingly.

How’s that for a spread?

Hows that

Next up: BATTLE OF THE LASAGNAS

The contestants: Caramelized Onion Herb Ricotta versus Double Bacon Mushroom MEAT.

And a battle it was.

I think everyone is a winner.

Tenderly stacking and racking.

And this, for motivation.

Pork ribs. Joe’s special seasoning mixed with a little Emeril’s essence. Overnight so it’s embedded in the thick outer bark.

You need dental floss to come out clean…on the other side…at the table….rackem and stackem and rackem.

GREAT SUCCESS

Rib smakin good.

LOOK AT IT

Left on the smoker at 200 for 3 hours. Painstaking hours. Waiting. Sucks.

Mouthwatering anticipation. HARD WORK

Post-Bonnaroo Beef Brisket with Roast Veggies

Beef Brisket

An all day affair. This one will make your mouth water.

Beef Brisket

See that sheen? The glisteningly moist tender beef brisket?

Father started with a treatment of Joe Valdez’s special seasoning the day before. We love you Joe.

DSC_0562

Left to fester all night. Even the dog was excited.

Then Father prepared the smoker with lump charcoal. And soaked apple wood chips for 24 hours in water.

Oh baby

Smoker to 700 degrees, then lowered to 300…then 200 degrees. Then in goes the meat.

The Egg

Make sure you’ve got a tray underneath with ~2 quarts of water, beef oxxo cube and a little bit of beef broth.

Why Hello

At 2pm Father took the beef off the smoker and placed it in a tin foil pan with 1 stout beer. Left to fester again on the smoker until 5pm, covered. Then removed and let stand. Stand by me baby.

Stay Vigilant

Opened all the vents and placed the veggie-roasting pan on the Egg to get nice and hot. Smoked the olive oil and balsamic vinegar-covered potatoes for 40 minutes.

Roasted Potatoes

Then switched the potatoes for the mixed vegetable medley.

Roast, roast, roast.

Father is pleased

Easter Weekend Egg-tivities

The new Egg top and gasket arrived last week and my father decided to smoke EVERYTHING.

DSC_0155

To begin, there were ribs. The best ribs he’s ever ATE.

Just unbelievably moist and succulent. Baby rays rib sauce taken to the nth degree (doctored by the doc himself).

Served with Pop’s coleslaw (extra malted vinegar) and creamy potato salad.

Next, beef brisket marinated for 24 hours in the outside fridge (Ha). Started the Egg at 6pm on Saturday and put the massive, massive brisket on at 9pm.

IMG_1549

Took it off at 7am on Sunday morning. Cooked to perfection.

Put baked beans on at 7am and cooked them until we were ready to eat that night.

Smoked. To. Perfection.

Now, rest, baby, rest.

Served with potato croquettes and coconut gravy.
