    Third Smoke. Used a Pork Loin this time.

    That looks more like a pork loin and not a tenderloin? It looks pretty good!

    Cooking Times vs Meat Weight

    Not sure but with every offset I've ever used, it seems to happen. Maybe it is just the nature of the beast. I have a Horizon 16 Classic now.

    Cooking Times vs Meat Weight

    I'm glad that "approximate" was mentioned. I seem to have a stall at about 160F internal with the offset. I always go by internal temps and shoot for 198F to 205F. I don't seem to have that issue with the BGE, but I usually cook butts in it for Cochinita Pibil or Cuban style pork roast, neither...

    40 clean bones

    Now that there are some nice looking butts! Did you use a homemade rub?

    New Toy and My First Hatch Chilis!

    This was my first experience using the rotisserie basket and roasting chilis in it. There was a learning curve as with most new equipment. I started out with a 2 zone fire, using charcoal baskets on each side of the rotisserie. I fired one chimney of charcoal and divided it between the 2...

    Shwarma

    Thanks! It was really good. Never thought a "meat paste" could turn into that. The LEM grinder was one of the best purchases we've ever made.

    Speck

    In several years of searching locally for guanciale, we decided to make our own. We saw that a producer of heritage pork vended at a local farmer's market on weekends. We special ordered some Berkshire hog jowl and picked it up at the market. Being our first time going to the market, we didn't...

    Shwarma

    A couple weeks ago we did a lamb Shwarma on the rotisserie. We had Gyro style sandwiches on cumin flat bread with tzatziki.

    First Fatty

    Here is the fatty cut in half. The bacon was thin sliced. I used the same for the ABTs that went with the fatty. I like my ABTs done vertical. The fatty and ABTs were done on my BGE using cherry chunks.

    Jambalaya Fatty with Bacon Micro-Weave

    Looks fantastic! Not smoked, but have you ever made "collard rolls"? Same as cabbage rolls, but using collards stuffed with jambalaya or dirty rice and cooked in a spicy Creole sauce.

    First Fatty

    I decided to make my first fatty. It is Jimmy Deans original bulk sausage, filled with homemade, bulk andouille sausage (unsmoked), homemade boudin, Cajun "Trinity" (sauteed and cooled) and cojita cheese. I have dubbed it the "Cajun Hog Log".

    Live Fresh Crawfish??

    By accident, I discovered that our local Restaurant Depot carry live crawfish, when in season, in 30# sacks (+/- a few #). They get them in every Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning. The last sack I bought last season was $2.50#. I live in South Florida. Prior to that it was either ordering...

    ABT jalapeno substitute?

    Packs a little more heat than a jap, but serranos should work. Maybe fresh cherry peppers.

    New Guy Looking for advice: Propane, or Wood?

    I've been that route with home improvement store smokers, vertical and off set, no propane. If I knew then that they were made of really thin material that required lots of fuel and much modification, I would have passed. Then I got smart. I bought a large BGE and I just recently added a Horizon...

    help requested crab and shrimps

    What did you use for the steaming spices and liquid. There are somethings that should never be considered for smoking. IMO, most shellfish fall into that group. Oysters are great for smoking, clams and mussels, not so much.

    Mother's Day Crawfish Boil With instructions

    My wife returned from a road trip to Mississippi last Thursday, making a stop at Kenny's Seafood in Slidell on Wednesday. 80# of river caught crawfish was on the way! I got everything ready to go for when she got home. Now, I only have a 42 quart pot, so I have to do them in batches. I use 1...

    Cajun Country Boil

    Dang papap, I didn't realize they were available this early. I'll have to check with my supplier and see if I can get some. You got my mouth watering now! AJBert, my wife reminded me that we have had mushrooms in a boil at our daughters. My SIL is a registered coona$$. My daughter loves the...
