Show us what you're cooking...

[Mike]

Since this is a forum about grilling, figured having a thread to show of what we are or about to be cooking is in order.

For this labor day weekend, I'll be doing a reverse sear on these four ribeye steaks using my Rec Tec Bull pellet grill this Saturday.

I'm still thinking about doing a brisket, maybe on Monday using the method @Xicanoink pointed out in his introduction thread.

 

[Mike]

Well, to say this was a successful cook would be an understatement for sure.

Turned out amazing. I should have taken a side shot as well. these were a good 2.5 - 3" thick and mighty tasty!

I've got a 12.85 lb USDA Prime Brisket going on tonight for tomorrow! I'll post pics once it's carved up. Happy Labor Day!

Just rubbed a couple racks of ribs. Be throwing those on here shortly...

Just a couple racks today - see you tasty fellas in 6 hours!
Got the salt on there too - we're gonna give that a shot while we're at it.

Baby backs and burnt ends for me. Sorry, photos are too large to post

Sorry, photos are too large to post

What size are the pictures? I'll make changes on the forum if needed.


The ribeye was so good the other weekend, I picked up another 4 of them and will be cooking 2 of them this afternoon.

I'll be posting pictures soon.

Got some pulled pork in the works. Throwing the rib roast on in a few minutes...

 

[Mike]

These turned out even better than the ones I did a couple weekends ago. More pink in the center and barely needed a knife to cut it.

After:

Now I'm stuffed!

Oh man that looks fantastic.

Oh man that looks fantastic.

The prime rib was one of the best things I've made. The pork wasn't my best work. It was still decent... I think maybe it was the meat. Just not as fatty as I would have liked.

Weather doesn't look great here this weekend, so actually might not smoke anything
Although it is almost 'chili weather' and football is back, so I probably need to stock up on left-overs to put in my chili. Ever throw your leftovers in chili? Or smoked some ground beef for it? It's pretty fantastic. Chili recipe thread anyone?

With the new deck now completed - we now have a roof over our heads. I've got a rack of ribs I'll be preparing this evening and putting them on early tomorrow morning.

I'm going to use the Pork & beef rub recipe that @Eddy posted.

Absolutely! This time of year I'll save the left over steak bits, cut them up in small squares and put that in my chili as well.

I haven't tried smoking ground beef for my chili, I might have to give that a try. When I cook chili 9/10 it's in a cast iron pot over a wood fire in my fire pit. I love chili recipes and love making it... this is my time of the year!

Got to excited when I took off the ribs and ate one rack and started on this one before I remembered to get a picture.

 

[wildblue]

Those look good!
Looks like you sauced them. What's your sauce of choice? Or do you make your own? Buddy of mine (that got me into the RecTec) is big into making his own..... I keep thinking about it.

 

[Mike]

I haven't made my own sauce yet, but will in time. For now, I'm using Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ.

The rub that @Eddy posted worked out very nicely.

 

[navydroid]

Can't go wrong with Sweet Baby Rays.

 

[wildblue]

Sweet Baby Ray's is good. I really like Famous Dave's 'Devil Spit'
One of the best I think I ever had was an odd combination I made one time (I think because it was all I had) - it was Montgomery Inn BBQ sauce with a couple drops of Quaker Steak & Lube's 'Atomic' sauce. It was.... hard to describe

 

[Mike]

I've been in Myrtle Beach since Sunday and without my Rec Tec.

The food is good here, but I'm missing my grill!

 

[wildblue]

Smoking some garlic - the girl digs it.
Chicken thighs getting thrown on later. Would post a picture, but getting that 'too large' message again. It's only a few hundred k ... @Mike what's the limit?
