Memorial Day Weekend Menus?

[Central PA Cowboy]

What’s everyone cooking up this weekend? Here’s my menu:

Saturday - buffalo chicken pizza and maybe throw something on the smoker

Sunday -whole roasted chicken, taters, stuffing balls, and a veggie

Monday - hot dogs on the grill, probably baked beans, and a dip

Picking up the fresh cuts from a whole hog tomorrow...what to smoke, what to smoke?
Ribs would be an easy choice, ribs are always great. I'm getting a fresh ham though and I've never cooked a green ham before...If we get together with family I might have to just try it and see. Not sure I'm willing to share ribs with the family in question, they are a weird lot with strange tastes, they don't seem to see the difference between Crock-Pot ribs with Hunts BBQ sauce on them and perfectly smoked dry rubs and homemade finishing sauce.

Hey everyone! New to this forum. Had a question for all you experienced smokers out there. We have a fairly cheap Char-Broil electric smoker that we have to run an extension cord into our house to use. The extension cord gets pretty hot towards the end plugged into the house outlet. What extension cord should I get? Any advice would be so helpful as we hope to do a lot of smoking this weekend!!!

I believe the cord I got for my electric smoker is 12 gauge. Also get the shortest cord possible to get where you’re going. The longer the cord the hotter it’ll get.

Not sure what days are what yet but for sure doing ribs and wings at some point. Im sure many other items as well!

I have a prime brisket point thawing that I'll hang in my drum. And I might do a pizza on my large Big Green Egg.

 

[phatbac]

on my new Lang smoker/gill i think i will do about 3 racks of candy apple red bbq baby backs and a lemon pepper chicken smoked...some fish, pork chops, and hamburgers grilled.

Try to take all the pics i can of my cook and make a thread or two!

Happy Smoking,

Beef was what was on the shelves around here ,,, so
Beef .

 

[Inscrutable]

Not completely set, but ribs and salmon calling me. Just got an UltraQ to try out on the BGE, but thinking a more forgiving cut like a butt or chicken on first trial run. Also corn on sale and thinking of a low country boil.
And if that’s not enough competition, FINALLY getting our boat back from new bottom paint, and SUPPOSED to stop raining by Sunday and be beautiful, so that might torpedo all my smoking plans.
So who the heck knows ...

I’m thinking of using my Kamado this weekend for a couple beer can chickens. May also do a Crawfish Etoufee and Keto white cheddar rice.

Wings on Saturday, Short ribs, green beans and potatoes on Sunday.

Had my heart set on brisket and ribs. I have some spares and baby back pork ribs, so today I went to Sam's Club to get a brisket. Walking up to the display case I noticed they had several to choose from and that's when I noticed the price. I was there about 2 1/2 weeks ago and passed because the smallest one was 19lbs but were priced at $3.48lb today the price has doubled to $6.98lb. So ribs it is.

 

[forktender]

That's an insane price even if it was prime, Costco sells prime around here for $3.45 P.P.
You have to jump on them when you see them though because once they are gone they might not get them back for a week or more, same goes for the pork bellies and butts. But all in all our meat situation is much better than it was two weeks ago.

not in any order:

• Lollipop legs
• Brisket
• pork loin

I have a four day due to reduced hours. Day 4 is TBD.
