cedar sheets wrapped around salmon and asparagus! i actually go them from woot.com some time last year. i'm down to my last few though and i've got to find some more. i really like them, although they aren't quite the same as cooking on planks. far more subtle.

That's a lot of pig in the 1st pic...5 butts?

What are the big cylinders in the 3rd pic from the bottom...bologna?

OK, I'll play!

My eyes! My stomach! I just wanna go outside and cook some meat!

that's some beautiful looking stuff right there.

Thanks, man! Kudos back at ya!! I'm a Weber Smoky Mountain guy; I see you're running a green egg. How do you like it?

In the center of your fourth picture - is that a fatty?

Well, I'm not nearly the photographer (or smoker) as you guys, but here are a few pics from last thanksgiving's smoke:

One of the turkeys

I was trying to think of a way to sterilize them, maybe pressure canning... But I don't know if I'd trust beer bottles full of BBQ sauce in a pressure cooker.

I just leave them in the fridge. I gave a couple away to friends.

Wow, this thread... is so full of WIN!

I must get an egg. I do love my kettle, but I have egg envy. Also, I feel compelled to grill EVERY WEEKEND. I am open to grilling almost anything. Sometimes I just get the coals hot and go through the fridge looking for stuff to throw on there. Almost as bad as brewing.

you had to do it to me . looking at the first half of the posts, now i HAVE to smoke some brisket and ribs this weekend

awesome stuff posted in this thread. thanks guys for sharing pictures.

that's a mini fatty surrounded by various stuffed bacon wrapped peppers...

i love my eggs!





i can't even remember what or how i cooked before i got them. i got my first one 3.5 years ago and have added two since then. i'd still like to have a medium one.

here is some more recent stuff since i got a new camera and stopped using my phone......















that was the first time i used any corn starch on the wings and they came out with CRISPY skin, just like the fried ones i remember and loved from when i lived in memphis.

i'm the same way man. i have a new baby, so brewing has been pushed back quite a bit. hopefully in the next year or so i'll be able to get back on it. in the meantime, i'm a grilling fool. i also will throw anyhing on a grill. hahaha.

i rubbed them down the night before and about two hours before i put them on the grill, indirect at 325, i sprinkled cornstarch on them and shook them up to coat them evenly. it was really inexact as far as measurments go. i had three dozen drummettes and i basically opened the cornstarch and sprinkled (guessing) 1/4 cup on them.

i had remembered reading about it on a grilling forum, but had never tried it and didn't remember any particular measurments, so i just winged (pun intended) it.

cool. i'll try that next time i grab a bag o wings from the store.

This is unbelievable meat porn. Is that grilled avocado? I know what I'm doing tonight

That one is a pizza fatty...Italian sausage, filled with pepperoni, grilled onions & bell peppers, pizza sauce, and mozzarella.

Just what you'd think...the filling is made from sweet onions. It's sometimes called Vidalia Onion Pie, or Maui Onion Pie. It's really more of a quiche than a pie, but real men don't put quiche on their smokers. There's a great pictorial here: Maui Onion Pies on the Egg.

Yum!!!

the pizza fatty is awesome.

this turned out better than i expected..... chorizo wrapped pork tenderloin, no seasoning on the loin.....

I saw one that someone stuffed with a pecan pie. They said it was really good but it doesn't sound appetizing to me at all.

it's been a minute. here are a few more pics......
