Chicken & tri-tip
« Reply #-1 on: October 28, 2012, 09:29:18 PM »
Glad the wind died down in So Cal today, and let me do cook #2 with my pit barrel cooker. The chicken last week was so good that the family wanted some more plus some tri-trip as well.







The money shot, rice, beans, chicken, tri-tip and some killer salsa huevona (pico de gallo)

This little pit is like the little choo choo that can- amazing moist chicken and some of the best tri-tip that I've had.

Just picked up some Tri Tip for our Pit Barrel Cooker this weekend.  Those pictures have me thinking maybe some chicken needs to be added as well.  Looks great!  And yes, the size of the Pit Barrel Cooker can be misleading, you can get a ton of food in there for sure.  I may not sleep tonight, longing for Saturday already!!!  Thanks Kora Smoker for getting me Fired Up!

Noah was telling me that is an old secret of his to always include a 1/2 chicken with whatever kind of meat he is cooking. Meat comes out outrageous!!! One thing with tri's in the PBC. Catch the internal temp of the meat at 40 minutes sharp. Should be around 125 internal and a beautiful pink from one side to the other. Based on our elevation out here, I go 45 minutes and they come out perfect!!

Thanks for that advice on time smokeasaurus, and that Chicken comment.  Heck, we should all be adding a chicken to everything all the time anyhow! 

That reminds me of the time Bruce Bjorkman, aka "Mr. BBQ" was giving me directions for smoking a couple of Turkey Breast on the Mak Grill.  I was pretty new to pellet cooking at the time.  So he goes through all of this info, and tells me to add thick cut Bacon to the top of the breast and use toothpicks to secure it.  I responded, "Ya, I'll bet that really adds some flavor to the Turkey."  He responds,"Well, I suppose it does,....but what I getting at, is your going to have one great snack with that Bacon while waiting for that Turkey."  I don't think he was even aware of how dang funny that was to me at the time.  Here's a guy cooking one meal and wedging in another opportunity for something delicious in the meantime ;)  Changed my whole thinking about cooking from that point on!!!
