Labor day fail

[JIMSMOKES]

Burgers and dogs with a salmon appetizer.
Started with the grind. Chuck, tri-tip, and rib meat. Added some pork belly fat and some bacon end pieces.

Just shy of 10lbs. Pattied them up in 6oz patties and 4oz balls. 6oz grilled and 4oz smashed total of 32. Missed pics (fail 1)
Started heating up (Maria), R2D2, and the griddle.

Bout ready.

This is where it went south. Rain storm!
Had to reset and move everything including R2D2.

Blackened some of my dogs and sausage during the move and just starting some pork belly strips.

Final fail! I was so busy trying to catch up and keep dinner on time? I missed any more pics.

I see food! If you got everyone fed what's the fail? Always technical difficulties

 

[jcam222]

Sounds like a feast! I'll bet that burger mix was fire!

 

[Compulsive Smoker]

Looks great to me! I always char my hotdogs on purpose! I like em that way!

 

[JIMSMOKES]

Thanks for the likes!
R2D2 is going to get some upgrades with some handles and wheels. Moving a 300-degree smoker was no fun. Well, it had cooled to below 250 when I moved it.

Overall, looks like a win to me. My fail was I didnt grill or smoke anything. had contractors here all day working on the house=boring.

Looks like you cooked those dogs perfect to me. Your also way nicer to your guests then me, I would have fed them store bought burger.

JIM, ...............

the only fail was my invite,
Love my dogs that way , and I could have helped with moving the rigs , at least for the price of a burger or two. and a dog or 3

The blend mix sounds good also.

The fact that you pulled it off despite some tribulations is a victory in my eye. What I see looks great!

 

[mr_whipple]

Looks like a lot of moving parts but food everywhere. No fail!

It's the only way I'll do burgers and dogs on the grill.

It would not be a decent get-together if something didn't pop up. The food looks good. I've eaten plenty of burned hotdogs. They're still good.

My fail was making shotgun shells from a frozen batch of meat that was leftover from last time. I remembered that it didn't have enough seasoning the first time around, soooo I loaded it up with some Holy Voodoo. Welp, that was a bit too much. I could barely eat them myself, and I like a little spice. So I need to find a happy medium next time.

 

[JLinza]

Anytime I see a pile of hotdogs, I'm gonna check it off as a win. Looks great

Ah man when it rains it can also pour but at least you pivoted R2D2 does a good job too….ie oh and you didn’t have to call for takeout so that is a success!
