Latest noteworthy cooks

Haven't posted in a while but have a few good pics from a few recent cooks I wanted to share. Trying to get to the 250 mark so I can participate in the rub exchange too. Pictures are already being stupid, so I'll get those in as I can. But first is a ny strip with mashed taters and a lobster tail. Best steak I've had off the egg thus far.  We've done lobster tails and crab legs several times and they've been awesome every time. Then is an Egrets ham. I'm typically not a ham fan but I thought it was really good. My wife loves ham and she said it's the best she's had. Next up is pepper stout beef. All I can say is AMAZING!!! pretty spicy, but I think we had a hit batch of jalapeños to blame. I read later that some people omit the jalapeños, use less, or core them first. Maybe I'll try that next time since wife and mother in law aren't as keen on the spice... BUT, we got some whole wheat kaiser rolls, Swiss cheese, spinach and mashed avocado/guacamole (depending on your definition) and it really toned it down. We couldn't get enough. Then I tried some homemade ground sirloin burgers.  They were huge. Haha. I'll probably stick with ground chick from here on out on account of the better flavor, though the sirloin is slightly healthier. Then I made a brisket for Memorial Day and finished it out during a tornado warning, during which the building across from ours in our complex was struck by lightening. Yikes! Tonight I did three Cornish game hens rubbed with bad byrons. I was thinking they were a waste since they're so small. But they were absolutely delicious and I'll probably do them plenty more times. Everyone gets their own individual chicken. Lots of skin (the best part of a whole chicken).

Yeah sorry everything is kinda out of order.  It took everything in me not to punch through a wall while trying to get all this posted.

Looks like you have been busy.   Food looks really good.  If you uploaded from phone or tablet it seems to mess up the order, but it's all good.

Good looking cooks ... now I'm in a food coma though.

Hmmm, a small electric coil on top of the lump grate, wires out through the inlet vent, plugged into a timer, all vents set for the temp you want to cook at ... yep, egg could be at temp with good smoke when you pull into the driveway.

Thanks @Jeepster47 and wow... Is that something you've done before?

Jeepster47

Oh oh, looks like I'll have to be careful with you.  No, never done it. The idea simply popped into my head when you said you didn't have time after work to fire up the grill.  Most folks simply filter out most of my ideas ... feel free to join them.
