Who's smoking meat this weekend?

[jammin]

i don't have my receipt anymore and i don't think i registered it with BGE. I will call the store tmrw and see if they have records. Wish me luck

 

[applescrap]

^^ everything I've seen shows that company is a real class act. Unless you paid cash you have some record, somewhere. Still doesn't matter they'll warranty it, best of luck. In a worst-case scenario split it with them.

Couple racks of baby backs and a handful of ABTs. Skipped the smokie in the ABTs and instead stuffed them with a mix of feta, ricotta and chilli powder. So more like a jalapeño popper... just using up stuff in the fridge.

Jealous... That looks awesome.

One medium boneless pork roast. It has about 15 garlic cloves inserted into the muscles and is covered with my world famous dry rub.

How is it world famous if I've never heard of it?

My French inlaws and neighbors love it, as do our German friends. I have Swiss and Argentinian friends who love it. Thus it is world famous!

Are you willing to share the recipe for said world famous dry-rub? I am always tweaking and trying new things and wouldn't mind giving a new rub a try.

Need some advice... Cooking some swineapples tomorrow. I've done 1 before. Tomorrow I'm doing three. Last time it took about 3 hours for 1. So should I cook 3 for 9 hours? Is that the math breakdown? Or will I be better off at like 5-6 hours? It's hard to gauge the weight since it will be cored pineapple plus pork plus bacon all separate. Any suggestions welcome

 

[applescrap]

^^I would rotate them to cook evenly and probe the smallest. If you probe the largest well then, you know. Since, it will be tough to guage, try to determine the least stuffed. It will be noticeable I suspect, but if not then probe any and rdwahahb. Im not certain on time but should be similar. Glad you are loving the mes 30, clearly an excellent smoker, ehh!

You definitely don't multiply by 3. It's 3 separate pieces, so they should come close to the same time unless it's packed with no air space between them. The temp of the cooker (grill, smoker, oven, etc.) is the same.

Use the temp to decide when done but I would guess 4 hours of that.

 

[kev211]

Thanks for the advice. They turned out fantastic. 4.5 hours in at 225.

Loving would be an understatement. My poor neighbors are constantly enduring my smoking. By enduring I mean... Smelling without getting to eat 😁

 

[applescrap]

@kev211 hope our neighbors never meet!

Touche! My biggest fear is that one day my wife will make me share with them

 

[applescrap]

Haha, I meant if they ever meet they might plot against us both for smoking them out all the time and not sharing

I figure they could splash out the 150, if they like what they smell. I give them coffee as a good will gesture.

Same here, I've had numerous people stop in front of my house and ask what I'm making and telling me how it smells so good up and down the street

 

[brewbama]

Looks good. Have you ever done tri-tip like that?



I went to cook out way out in the country one time where they built a fire with coals on a plow disc and threw a barrel over it. Tri-tips & chickens were hung inside. Really good food.

I have. Good stuff.

cleaning out my Green Egg for some burgers tonight and found a pretty bad crack in the bottom of it

Unfortunately I did not register it when I bought it so I doubt I'll be covered by any warranty. I've had it for almost 6 years and have put A LOT of miles on it. I use it 4 times a week on average and often more.


Not sure what to do at this point... ride it till the wheels fall off and hope it doesn't self destruct and start a fire? replace immediately and consider it good while it lasted? Do I get another Green Egg (I love the thing)? Sell my Memphis Pellet smoker and buy something awesome like a Yoder YS640?

pics of said crack....

Green Egg honored the warranty and the replacement came in this week. Just in time too because i found an even worse crack on the opposite/back side of the BGE. Here are some pics of the other crack & replacement process:

bottom of the other crack. looks like eventually the 2 would meet and the base would split:

the new base is larger than the old 2011 unit. you can see in this pic that it wouldn't fit all the way in:

i used my 24" crescent wrench to make room:

lastly, the refurbished unit completed & heating up for some turkey burgers:

Sweet, so glad to hear. I have a little wrench envy now. Btw, Can i have the cracked one

 

[OleBrewing]

it also looks like your dog has been suffering. no scraps while the egg is out of commission.

 

[HoppyDaze]

cracked one will be great for a planter

 

[kev211]

So Im smoking 12 lbs of pork shoulder saturday (two 6lb cuts). Want to rest for 2 hours. I was thinking of putting it in the smoker at 5am so it will be ready for consumption for a party at 5pm. Also will be tossing about 3lbs of ribs in when I foil the pork at 50% (right around noon). Does this sound like a good plan to you guys? I figured that by adding the ribs when I foil the meat I can add more chips without over smoking the shoulder

 

[jammin]

My thoughts exactly. Makes me want another nest for it - would looking great on that little rolling stand. I'm worried the cracks are so great it would be another problem waiting to happen though. Especially combining water and our chilly winters

great vid for you Aaron Franklin & brisket fans -
