Title: Just a fool in the rain...
Post by: squirtthecat on April 29, 2012, 09:41:17 PM
Channeling Tacoma today.   48° and raining.

Corned beef brisket flat and a light slather of Sriracha.   Yes, I'm serious, and stop calling me Shirley.

More proteins thawing in the sink..   Stay tuned.

Next up...    Tri-tip, covered in wooster and Zach's brisket rub.   Going to smoke it 'brisket style' and take to a higher temperature for pulled/chopped beef BBQ.

And just enough room for another frozen turkey boulder.   Caroliina Treet and a few shakes of Zach's for color.

I'll let them all cruise at 225-250° until whenever.


Meanwhile, it's time to fire the MAK..

Time for some pork 'burgers' (found these at the Illinois Products Expo) and some Adobo Bison Balls.   ;)

Seasoned with..

On the MAK at 275°, burning a mix of hickory and charcoal pellets.

35 minutes later.   Looking good..

I'll give them another 10 minutes and pull them off.

It's a Pork Patty/Bison Slider party..

(http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iCUlPzdjT5A/T52OSEC59XI/AAAAAAABh9c/4eBBdz6JGcg/s912/IMGP9317.JPG)


Very tasty.   I need to watch my cook times though, as bison is super lean.

SrirachaStrami and Tri tip, ready for some foil time.

The turkey boulder has a long ways to go..   I will be out in a thunderstorm retrieving it later.  :(

--

I've got everything cooling down now so I can wrap tight for a night in the fridge.   It will be a busy week, so it is easier to smoke up a storm on Sunday, then carve as needed for dinners/lunches.

The tri-tip is foiled up tight and resting in a crock pot...   I"m curious as to how it will turn out as well!   The standard 'cook to medium and slice against the grain' hasn't been well received around here - so we are trying something different.


I'm thinking pork burgers topped with Wickles Pickles and a side of baked lays for dinner tonight.

PS:

Tri-tip Hot Chop! :D

I sliced off a corner of the CB so I could find the grain...   Very tasty!    Kinda like a garlicky corned beef with a hint of heat.

We had the pork burgers for dinner.   Fantastic.   Now I need to find the name of the place I bought them from.     :(

I ended up slicing it.  It will go back in the crock pot with all of the drippings from the foil.
