    [Mega] Smash Burgers - Take Two

    Continuing breaking in the blackstone and did smash burgers again tonight. These were a bit on the mega side, with each patty being about 1/4 lb - so 1/2 lb smash burgers. My pants have been a little loose anyway. First time they were good but a little too greasy for my taste, so I focused on...

    Breaking in the Blackstone

    First cook on the new blackstone. Simple weeknight dinner and one I've been wanting to try: smash burgers. Bacon swiss with sauteed mushrooms, added lettuce and raw onion after the picture. They had a great flavor, but too greasy for my taste. I think I was too worried about food sticking...

    Haha pressure is definitely on now! Interestingly my wife was the big driver behind this purchase, though I put up predictably little resistance. Maybe she knows if the cooking happens outside I'll do more of it lol. Yes sir... bacon cheeseburgers are high on the early cook list.

    Second Pork Shoulder

    Somehow I wind up inviting people over for the pool and cooking. But hey, at least they bring beer 🤣 Very nice gesture to bring dinner, and looks like you nailed the PP!

    Masterbuilt 560 Gravity Series is trash

    Interesting. I have only had issues with fires on the 1050 when I’ve pushed it above 400-450 AND haven’t cleaned. Regularly reverse sear steaks on mine and haven’t had fire issues.

    Large party and a 22” kettle! HELP!

    I make it fresh the day or serving and add some during the reheat. I typically add it in after the pork has been in a bit so it is more malleable/workable with the tongs, but before it's fully hot and ready to serve. I've noticed the sauce definitely gets a bit less potent / sharp after a...

    13th Annual South Florida Gathering (Dec 7th-8th 2024)

    I'll keep an eye on this as we get closer. I'm in Orlando, about 90 min I think. I may try and come down for the Saturday, but it'll depend on what I've got going on.

    Large party and a 22” kettle! HELP!

    I have been using Chef JJ's (RIP) finishing sauce for years and I've had multiple people tell me that my PP is better than anything they've ever had at a BBQ joint.
