Smoke Somethin

Got this char-griller premium kettle for my birthday, it says its a smoker too.

So after a little research and about 40 bucks for charcoal baskets and a pizza stone I'm gonna give it a shot.

Here's the kettle

Charcoal baskets

Modified grate out of my old grill, had to cut the sides off, and hit it with a hammer a couple times so it would get past these bolts.

Pizza Stone(heat diffuser)

Water/drip pan

Forgot to add the apple wood, it wasn't that bad to open everything back up. Glad I took out some of the center of the old grate.

Iron mikes mustard Bbq for a binder and Montreal steak, some minced onions, salt and pepper on the rub.

Questions, comments, and suggestions all welcome. This will be my smoking/grilling thread.

Bout to slap the meat on now!

Thanks guys! I ended up getting a loin on Saturday, I trussed it to the best of my abilities, lol

It was barely big enough to get the forks in it, but I got it secured on there.

I put a slash of water and apple juice, and a few drops of this peach sauce I just made into the drip pan(and a couple pieces of fat I cut off).
Basted the loin a couple times towards the end of the cook, then took the drippings/juice and put it in a pan on the stove and slowly melted a bunch of butter into it. You guys should try that sometime!

Anyway here are some pics, it was the juiciest pork I think ive ever had.

I shoulda cooked a duck for this page topper!

Can't tell for sure but it looks like you did the pro move of cutting off the strings once the outside set . It took awhile for that to dawn on me. I would be cursing at end when taking them off would rip up that great crust.

Andy, it didn't happen to take a lot longer to tie that pig up than it actually rolled in the heat, did it?
 
I'd call that devotion to a craft!

I think my buddy actually cut the rope out, lol. And prep is a little time consuming, but then all you have to do is keep coal in the baskets. Trying to cool my garage to pie holding temp right now without freezing them lol.

Pork looks slammin', Andy! I've been on the fence about getting a rotisserie. They sell one at the one of the big box stores by me for about $40. Only reason I haven't grabbed one yet is because I don't know how much I'd actually use it.

Maybe it's like a gun though; better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it

Either way, keep the pics coming bro!

Mike, when you get a minute would you explain this to my Darlin' Bride? It doesn't seem to have any authority coming from me....

Fired up the smoker who needs turkey when you have salmon fresh off the boat from a neighbor?

 

 

[Rajun Gardener]

That will definitely be lighter than turkey and all the sides, I'm still stuffed from lunch asking myself why I ate so much and I really didn't fix a big plate but a few bites of 7 dishes adds up plus desert.

Name those peppers in my cranberry jelly!

Damn! My thread lured boss man out with the food pics! Looks great. I'm not sure I'm a big fan of salmon, but I would at least try that one!

And what kind of pecan/pumpkin love child is that pie?

Mike, the weber motor turns a lot more smoothly than tje char broil. Maybe if I was better at balancing the meat it wouldn't have problems, but it has some slack in the motor. So when it gets to a certain point it rotates the heavy end down and then it takes a second for the motor to catch up before it starts spinning again. I have some universal brackets if you find a used weber motor and spit grab them up and I will send you these brackets. If you want my opinion, rotisserie is a little more work for prep and clean up, and you will have to add coal halfway through the cook, but its very satisfying watching the meat spin, and everything ive cooked so far was really good. I didnt get many pics yesterday, I'm about to post them

Set up this little area at my moms, cause it was sleeting big time, ended up switching to rain. When I added smoke wood you couldnt go in there, smoke was burning our eyes lol. So we took the tarp off that left corner and moved the black grill over there. My phone was about dead and it was doing the weird shit where my flash won't flash at the right time, so the pics suck.

16.5 lb turkey. Put simply marvelous cherry rub on it, but most of it washed off in its own juices before I got it on the grill

Prime rib, it had the ribs tied to it, but I was having a hard time balancing it, so I tossed them in the drip pan and tied it up tighter.

Ham and cornbread pudding on the 18 wsm

No finished pics of the cornbread pudding, but its really good.

1 box of jiffy cornbread mix
1 can each of corn and creamed corn
1 stick of butter
1 egg
8oz sour cream
1 hour at 350, or on the smoker till your toothpick comes out clean

And here is what I had for breakfast! Lol

Next year I might just skip the in-laws so I'm not stressing about wether the food will be done at a decent time lol

I am guessing the boss man is a bon appetit fan too.

Brad and Claire are hilarious.
