We knew we were having a smaller gathering so I decided on a 9lbs Pork Butt for the crowd. I liked the Texas Style method that Malcom Reed posted and decided to give it a try. We served on sweet Hawaiian rolls with slaw and mustard potato salad. I mixed a potion with HEB Texas style bbq sauce...
so we made what is probably our best pizza to date. There is certainly a learning curve when making these, but man are they good. I can’t stand most retail pizza anymore.
Ingredients: pepperoni, mozzarella, basil from garden, onion and some garlic sauce
we have made it a tradition to not do a traditional dinner, and this year was no exception. Since I have the KJ Classic II, I am limited by the 18” space and certain depth for multiple meat cooks. I ordered up a BBQ Guru rib ring to maximize rib space, and used the lower setting for the pork...
Given the cost of prebuilt tables and boring styling, I decided to build one on my own. I took some cues from the BGE forums, and add some touches. I wanted something with working top and plenty of storage. Given I live on the Gulf Coast we get a ton of rain, so cover was required and shade for...
So I made a short Snapchat collage of my first attempt at a pork belly and my longest smoke on my KJ. This Kamado Joe is a great smoker and so far almost as “set it and forget it” as my old MES40. Once I get a few more cooks in I am sure it will exceed that and I am just loving the lack of a...
It’s been a while since I added anything of value, so thought I’d post up an update. I just took delivery of my first kamado style and selected the Kamado Joe Classic II, it’s just the wife and I most of the time. My MES40 and I quit talking mainly due to its inability to hold temps, I’m sure...
My local store is getting out of the KJ business and only carrying the BGE going forward. They have one Big Joe left that was actually a transfer from one of their other stores while it waited for some replacement parts. I am going to make them an offer tomorrow just to see how bad they want to...
Well this is the first outing since replacing the heating element. So far so good.
I got two whole chickens and brined them for 8 hours using a couple of the recipes shared on here. Heated the mixed to blend all dry powders and then poured into an ice chest with ice and water to cool. Then...
Hey Team,
Ok so the smoker is about two months old now, used four times. It seems to be gradually losing heat each time. I noticed a couple weeks again on a pork butt it was not able to get above 235 or so. This past weekend on a brisket 210 was the highest the ambient temp inside would get...
Well we had a friend in from Singapore, and of course had to have some suitable food made for him.
We got a 9 pound packer brisket which fit nicely in the MES40. I used salt, pepper, and Salt Lick rub for the seasoning.
Put it on and ran for 12 hours, but the MES wasn't heating above...
Hello Gang,
Got started on my first ever PP based on info gleaned from here. Since it is only HH6 and myself we are using a smaller 3.5lbs picked up at HEB. I am using Mesquite and Apple for this one to try the mix out.
I rinsed and patted it dry, then applied a liberal amount of rub. Using...
Hello to the Forum,
Name is Todd and just joining after lurking for a while. The board has been a great help except to my ever expanding midsection. Too many great ideas that sound delish.
I found the board while researching smokers to buy, and ended up with a MES40. So far I have cooked a...
