Memorial Day (Two-Week) User-land BBQ Contest

There are no rules. It's a casual contest with a big prizes, and the winners will be determined by user polling over next weekend.
 
The prize box I'm providing will have items from:
 
Joyner's Hot Peppers
Texas Creek
Lucky Dog Hot Sauces
Dee Roo (SmokenFire)
Scotty O'Hotty
Pex Peppers
Walkerswood
Teeny Tiny Spice Co.
Meat Church
Defcon
Mild Bill's
Johnson Berry Farms
Zatarain's
Season With Spice
 
... so far.
 
I haven't poked around my Asian shelves, or the Cambro's of Modernist powders yet - but I'll be including stuff from there as well, if possible.
 
A prize box from JHP will be provided by Joyner's Hot Pepper Powders, thanks Chris.
 
A prize box from Texas Creek is forthcoming, TBD once we figure out how the voting will be organized. This prize can be donated to AnySoldier.
 
Just worked out a prize box from Lucky Dog Hot Sauce with Scott that will include the new Chipotle, a Dia Del Perro, and the Black label sauce (CONUS) (tctenten has sponsored this being available to an expat member if it ends up as such).
 
And also, a prize box from Pex Peppers that will include a pair of his sauces (CONUS).
 
 
* If you are a producer/vendor, or just looking to sponsor a prize box out of sheer benevolence, shoot me a PM and we'll get it in there ...
 
The more prizes the better, certainly.

I do amazing things with my CI. Don't miss a grill. Would love a smoker, though.

Yeah cook it up! The more the merrier.

Garlic, seranos, shallots, tamari, ginger, cilantro, sherry, fish sauce, lime, dried Thai peppers, sesame oil, honey, salt and pepper.

Not putting the meat in yet cause cooking tomorrow.

10 hours and 10 pounds of fuel later...one load and the brisket is wrapped and in the cooler  

 

[Alynne]

Added home grown kefir lime leaves to the marinade. That should count for something.

Had I known, I would have bought brisket. Or pork butt

I had no idea either, bought my brisket due to knowing all the local people would gobble them up so it has been in fridge for about 2 weeks aging.

Ooohhhhh!!!

 

[Ozzy2001]

I'm pretty sure I smell all the connective tissue dissolving. Can't wait to taste it. Little hotter and I can cooler this bia.

 

[grantmichaels]

I think I'll cook on the holiday ... looking that way, anyways ...

 

[tctenten]

Keeping it simple.  Whole Foods had some boneless beef short ribs and I also picked up a lobster tail.  Going to have some surf & turf kebobs with corn on the cob.

      How hard was it to put that maf'k down to take that pic? You have the willpower of a monk!

 

[Ozzy2001]

Brisket is wrapped up in the cooler. Shoulder is at 176. That's gonna be for late snack lunch tomorrow.

Required Jedi Mind Tricks!

 

[Ozzy2001]

Merica!!

Brisket is the bomb. Pecan smoked. Baked beans with burnt ends. Mashed potatoes per my son (birthday boy) grilled veggies.
Shoulder still cooking.

Update:
 
 
Crappy pic, awesome pie

 
 
 
 
Home made KC style sauce

 
 
 
 
Homemade buns, thanks to my wife. I'll have pics of her potato salad in the next update.

 
 
 
 
Low and slow is one thing, but this is getting ridiculous. I've never had this much trouble keeping the "smoker" up to temp. I wonder if packing 45% of the grill's internal volume with meat has anything to do with that...
