What's on the Smoker/Grill this Fourth?

[mneeley490]

Cherry Coke ribs for me. Plus I found a 4-rib piece, saved from a beef rib roast in the freezer, all by its lonesome. So I invited it to the party.

Pulled from the cherry coke brine after 36 hours.

2 hours in.

I put this on my Pit Boss at 2 am. Kids and grandkids are coming over at 4. Hope it is ready by then.

We went to a baseball game yesterday, then watched fireworks until midnight. Today I'm smoking some steelhead trout and making injections for an annual BBQ on Tuesday.

I did my first smoke for people other than me and my GF. Smoked a meatloaf, turkey breast roast and "grilled" some beer brats. Everything turned out great. I was too busy cooking/hosting and forgot to take pictures.

Hamburgers on the BGE with grilled red bell peppers and sauteed Chanterelle mushrooms. I brought a charcuterie board to munch on while we visited and prepped the meal.

Chanterelles before being sauteed:

The Board... Coppardo top, figs, Manchego cheese, Calabrian Salami, Veneto Sopressa...

The plate...(with home grown tomatoes too)

About time to make some smoked fish using your dry cure. I thinking Steelhead from Sam's? It a bit cheaper than Salmon. Is the dry cure the way you do it?

Edit: I picked one up from Sams. It is super soft. Cant hardly handle but going with it. I had some left over cure I had vacuum packed and using that.

Probably farmed. They tend to have soft meat, as they're not fighting for survival in the wild.

I tried getting refund online but have to do in club. Cant hardly even pick this thing up with coming apart. Guess I going to have to go back up. Just dont think it worth messing with now.

Sorry to hear that. Yes, I use the dry cure method, usually 6 to 8 hours of cure time. The steelhead I use is from Sam's, and it's vacuum packaged in a blue sleeve with a built in tray and boneless, but skin-on. It is farm raised, and that accounts for the higher fat content. I have never had any texture issues when rinsing raw... in fact I rinse both sides of the whole fillet in the sink. The curing tends to firm up the flesh, and I give it an air dry on the counter for a few minutes and then move the tray (and the fan) into my garage fridge for 12-15 hours before smoking.
