A little bit of everything getting cooked this weekend.

I figured that General Discussion would be the best place for a Miltie meat cook.

I was lazy and didnt post pics of the last chicken run I made. So here is the end result. I over cooked it, 210 on the thermo when the chicken hit the counter.

It still tasted good and actually had some juiciness to it. And oh boy the EVOO with cavendars season was a good choice. It cooked at 300 to 350 for an unknown amount of time. The skin turned out decently crisp and bite-able. The day after when I took it to work some of the juicy was not there but the girls said OMG can we buy some.

I had to make BOinks for a nice snack at work. Again everyone loved them. I just hate wrapping the bacon.

The rest is what I am working on this weekend.

The ribs are an exchange for Chiefs tickets for the last preseason game last thur, along with a little brisket from the last cook.

The chicken is for practice to decide what marinade I want. All the shin is pulled and ready, three pieces are in Italian dressing waiting for tomorrow.

I got a giant pork loin, I may have ruined it but I injected it with rootbeer and used my reg rub on it. Dropped it in a vac bag to rest until tomorrow.

No way in the world could I get all three slabs in the UDS, that is chugging away as we speak. One slab has to wait until tomorrow and keep the pork company.

After I taste the chicken, I can decide what to do with the rest. I also have a whole smart chicken as a special request that may get the Italian treatment and cook Monday.

If I remember I will grab a pic or two when I wrap.

Thought I might add,

The ribs went in at 6 ish and held steady until close to 10:00, wrapped and right back in the drum.

11:30 pulled from grate and removed wrap, spritz and back in for 15 minutes meat side down. Another 15 on the bone along with another spritz and they should be good to go.

Just a few more shots.

Ribs getting a wrap and heading back in for a while.

Here is my scraps from what little bit of trimming I did. They got cut up to be put in the beans.

The Ribs after going back in the smoker with no wrap to finish them off.

I told the kids that this was a giant snake.

Its actually a nice pork loin.

Sorry it slipped my mind to take a pic of the ribs that went on today.

I actually prefer to have my chickens legs both going the same way, I guess I'm OCD. I turned the chicken parts upside down to get a little more cook on the skin and wait for 160 to hit. Then the whole bird went in.

My slightly overdone ribs, a total flop for a comp but a success for home eating.

Fillet-O-snake. As I told the young-ins.

No I don't slice that good with a knife. LOL

The beans are in know and I may do some appetizers after while.

The day has been a real challenge with the wind. If its not the smoker temps it the front storm door trying to rip off the hinge. I should have a few more shots of the whole bird and also the beans.
