Some Recent Backyard Cooks!

[sawhorseray]

Here in beautiful Gilbert I've been staying busy out on the back patio, it's a year-round thing. Haven't fired up the offset in months, the Weber just makes everything so easy, and the BS flattop gets a ton of use. Ribeye dinner using the inverted Vortex, there's hickory chunks in just about every cook, I love hickory!

My Italian sausage with some beef and spinach ravioli

Vortex yardbird legs, do them about once a week, hard to beat

Experiment burger, 3/4 lb ground brisket patty, 1/4 lb my Canadian bacon, artichoke-spinach dip, and onions. Was pretty good!

Jumbo shrimp using the CI tray, perfect every time, was a great investment.

Philly cheesesteak, best reason to own a flattop griddle!

Rack of ribs, SnS, hickory, rubbed, naked all the way.

Last nights leg-o-lamb, chain method and hickory, pulled at 133º, I was way happy!

Well that's about it for this run, tho I do have to fire up the offset soon for a porkbutt. Thanks for lookin' in, and y'all stay safe! RAY

Nice lineup there. I know what you mean about the Kettle. It is so dang versatile. Gotta fire up the big smoker next week got a couple of big cooks to do. But just for us the kettle is the bomb.

[SmokyMose]

Wow what a bunch of tasty meals!
You must own an Asparagus farm. $3.49 a lb here. How do you cook it?

Those are some great looking eats Ray! The beer is pretty good too!....orginally from my neck of the woods.

Thanks Steve, and thank you for the Like, I appreciate it! RAY

I absolutely love it! I see your post right above this one and the 22"er would be too small for you sounds like. It starts right up every time, and I far prefer the rear drain. For breakfast, burgers, and cheesesteaks they just can't be beat. I use mine 2-3 times a week tho I hardly ever cook inside, gets a little warmer here than most spots on the planet. RAY

Thanks Jim! I'm getting to the point I need to fire up the offset just to get some use out of it, same thing with the Pro 100 electric . For what I need the Weber does it all, and does everything really well. That lamb I smoked didn't eat up more that two bucks worth of coals doing the chain, that talks! Thank you for the Like Jim, I appreciate it. RAY

Thank you, and thanks for the Like! RR's are the only brewsters we've had in the house for over 30 years, it was love at first sip and I never looked back. RAY

Thanks Colin! Seems the older I get the more important chowing down on food I like has become. Thank you for the Like Colin, much appreciated. RAY

Your burger made the UFO burger come to mind.

A lot of good looking food there. I agree with the hickory as well, it's what I use the most.

Ray, everything looks great! I agree on that CI shrimp tray, been using mine weekly, perfect every time.
Thanks for making me hungry for all of those fine meals, lol.

 

[Brokenhandle]

Wow Ray! It all looks excellent! Some great looking cooks!

So chain method...is that the same as snake or something different?
