I recently picked up a Weber OTG.. I have been using an MES 30 for the past year or so... and decided it was time to go charcoal rather than electric. Nothing against electric, me and my MES had a lot of really great cooks... and still will... I just wanted something different.
So a couple weekends ago I picked up the Weber and did a test run and a butt. Turned out good! So this weekend, I decided I would do some spares. Now, the wifey wasnt a big fan of the idea of cooking with charcoal... says it was going to taste bad...We cured that this weekend as well! I did a slab and a half in the Weber and a slab and a half in the MES.. Then I made her do the blind taste test. Obviously the Weber spares won... and they looked prettier too! The smoke ring was a thing of beauty.. the pics dont do it much justice.
As a side.. I took a page out of the Big Bob Gibson book and cooked a couple sweet potatos directly on the coals for about an hour. Sprinkled some brown sugar on them and they were scrumptious!
All the pics are from the Weber smoke.
I have a half a slab left that I brought to work today for lunch.. I cant wait! ( dangerous in a white dress shirt though!)
I like the flavor from the Royal Oak.. But it is a little harder to regulate temp vs Kingsford. Well worth it though.
My super duper secret rub... Still trying to think of a good name for it.
A little sit back and relax time. Weather was gorgeous in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago this weekend!
right off the smoker.. Before the sauce. Great bark!
Getting sauced! My mouth is watering all over again!
The pic doesnt do justice.. the smoke ring was beautiful! The taste was amazing! Used the 3-2-1 method. With the foil, I used honey, Parkay, brown sugar, some more rub, and Tiger Sauce.
Thanks for looking!
