Nice deep mahogany colored skin! I did mine on the BGE using lump and pecan chunks. Didn't get that deep color as I normally get on the offset, but the aroma and taste were perfect. Nice job there!
I did a 12# bird on the BGE. I brined it Tuesday after work. Late Wednesday night I removed it from the brine and put it back in the fridge to dry. I set it out on the counter to warm up some at 5:00 AM yesterday. Put it on the Egg just before 8:00 AM at 250F using lump with pecan chunks. It was...
That looks great! I also set up a two zone fire using baskets and a full chimney, split between each basket. Then either 1/2 splits or wood chunks in each basket. If I'm doing something that requires more fuel, I use more wood.
I'd probably run with them low and slow for 3 hours or so to take on smoke, then wrap and increase to 350F to finish, then rest them. Are you going for pulled or sliced?
As I have mentioned in another thread, I like my ABTs done vertically. I like a mix of red and green Japs. One of my favorite fillings is homemade, fresh Mexican chorizo with Oaxaca or Cotija cheese. Thin sliced bacon for wrapping.
I had a idea once to use huitlacoche as part of a stuffing, but...
Ah, I gotcha. I originally thought you meant to put hard boiled eggs in the center, like a German style meatloaf. I think this Cajun style fatty would be great along side some rice with a nice Creole or Cajun gravy/sauce.
That is one good looking Jambalaya. I love using leftover Jambalaya or dirty rice as a stuffing for collard rolls. Cooked in a spicy Creole sauce and I'll put them against any cabbage roll out there. Great job!
Welcome! I service the breathing air compressor (Air Trailer) for the Estero FD. I was just there Monday. I also service Greater Naples Fire District, which allows me to sneak over to Grimm's Stone Crab in Everglades City.
That sounds like Cochinita Pibil. The achiote (annatto seed paste) is just one ingredient in the rub/paste I make. I use a pairing knife to make deep holes in the butt, twisting it 360 degrees to make pockets so when it gets rubbed, the paste is forced deep in the pockets. I use the same knife...
Pigs cooked in a Caja China are usually done Cuban style around here. Lots of Adobo for the seasoning/rub and lots of mojo using either limes or sour oranges. For those unfamiliar with this type cooker, there isn't any smoke involved and it mimics cooking a pig in the ground. In south Florida...
I have a Horizon 16 Classic. The local Penn Dutch had suckling pigs on special, but you had to order in advance. I had never done a whole pig except in a Caja China with friends. That was a 125#'er. I had no idea how big a 28#'er was, but figured it would fit in the Horizon. Wrong! I ended up...
I like to use whole japs and my ABT rack. These were stuffed with homemade, fresh Mexican chorizo and Oaxaca cheese. They were done in my BGE using cherry chunks for smoke.
The Horizon is what "Oklahoma Joe" used to be built like, so I've heard. I paid more in replacing home improvement store quality (not) smokers than I paid for the Horizon.
