Hello all,
This is my second post to just say hi, I already posted an intro over in the Rollcall section.
My name is Ron, and have enjoyed outdoor cooking pretty much all my life.
There is nothing better than a cold brew and a hot Q !
My family and I enjoy camping here in the So. Calif. Deserts, and ride ATV's.
So naturally, BBQ in some way, shape, or form, has always been part of the party.
I occaisionally do a Dutch Oven "Hobo Stew" or just an easy Pork 'n' Beans over the open campfire, and like to follow that up with a nice hot peach or cherry cobbler. It's amazing just how many people have never had a cobbler made over an open campfire. They are always very impressed and happy to join in !
Last year, I did my first "Trashcan Turkey" with excellent results, and to date have done a total of 5 with a 21 pounder being the biggest one. If you've never done a Trashcan Turkey, I highly recommend it for Fast, Easy, and Really Good !, and it is alot of fun to do when camping with a large group. Have you guys tried this method ?
As I sit here typing this, I am sitting on my patio, and 1 hour into having started my second attempt, into my newest venture of learning to smoke meats.
My first attempt went pretty well, as is shown in my avatar, it was 15 lbs. of brisket, seasoned 4 different ways. The family thought I was an immediate "Pro", and have been after me to do some more, Haha.
I realize that I may be on the lower end of the totem pole for having one of those "how can you live with yourself ?",... dare I say it ?,.... Propane Cabinet Smokers,..... but hey, That's what I've got, so i'll just have to beg for mercy and hope for some gracious latitude in "cut 'em some slack", and "understanding 'cuz he just don't know no better",.... from all of you Pro's.
Haha, Here's my rig...
So on tonights menu, I am trying a variety of things. First there is a few Chicken breasts, with some sort of rub that my wife put on them. Second is a nice Tenderloin that has marinaded for about 10 hours in her "Top Secret, I Can't Tell You What It Is Because It's A National Security Issue, Super Duper, Homemade, High Priority,........ Sauce".
Oh yeah,....
...and a whole pack of Hotdogs for the kids. LOL!
I did see on here where it was said that you guys like pics, and without them, "It didn't happen", Haha.
so with that, I'll throw up a shot of what I'm doing tonight...
Sure looks kind of boring like this doesn't it ?
Now that's startin' to look a little more like it !
And off to the cookin' we go,....
Wish me luck, and I look forward to being a member here, and learning how to become a semi-Pro in the future.
thanks,
Ron
