A tribute to my ELF, Henapple!

This past weekend I decided the best way to try all the new stuff was just plan a meal around my awesome score from @henapple from the Loveless Cafe. here is the inspiration for the meal.
So we have their dry rub, Peach-Q-Rub, Seasoned Salt, & Sweet with a bite sauce. I decided to go with a pork loin and the Peach-Q-Rub and after reading @Springram 's post about Chicken Quarters with Adam Perry Lang's brine I went with that and then used the dry rub right before I threw it on the grill. Now it was raining like crazy all day but it cleared up right when it was time to light the eggs. (With Ozark Oak of course!)
Now I don't know if everyone saw but I got a Ceramic Grill Works Two-tier Swing Rack for my small egg and decided to use all four levels of cooking on my eggs. Here is a picture of them next to each other.
Now some prep shots:
and the pork loin
I decided to throw the platesetter in the large and sear everything on the small and finish it off indirectly on the large.
Time for a cocktail break. We went with Adult Arnold Palmers or John Daily's with some sweet tea vodka.
I decided to give Mini Herbed Pommes Anna a try and sliced up some potatoes
Then after heating up so garlic butter and herbs I added the slices in a muffin tin and poured the remaining butter mixture over top of them.
First up was the chicken on the small swing rack.
Then the pork loin.
This was the best use of having multiple eggs, searing on one and indirect on the other!
Some corn and crisping up the potatoes to get them nice and crunchy
The backyard was smelling so good!
I used some of the sauce to baste the chicken the last few minutes.
Here is a plated picture. The chicken and pork both turned out great! I will be using the rubs on all sorts of things. The potatoes were really good too and will be going in the rotation for sure.
And now the dessert! Peach cobbler in cast iron with the lid off to give it a hint of smoke.
It was a great meal and thanks again Henapple for the great gift!

Ok, selling the egg. Extra-freaking-ordinary! I feel so inadequate......Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

I'm sure something could be arranged @nolaegghead Hopefully I will be making a trip down to your neck of the woods sometime in the next few months. Maybe I can bring my egg and have a cookout.@Skiddymarker Thanks, but no need to sell the egg. Just tried a few new techniques to make a worthy post to my elf and the generous gift exchange this forum put on.Large & Small BGE, CGW Two-Tier Swing Rack for BOTH EGGS, Spider for the Wok, eggCARTen & and Cedar Pergola my Eggs call home in Edmond, OK.

Ok finally home from work. Here is the cobbler recipe. @Auburntgr @henapple4 tablespoons butter cut into 4 pieces and 8 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1 1/2 cups (10 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
- 3 cups (15 ounces) blueberries
- 1 1/2 cups (7 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Place 4 tablespoons cut-up butter in a 9x13-inch baking pan and put in the oven until butter is melted, 5-7 minutes. Continue with the rest of the instructions, removing the pan from the oven when the butter is melted but leaving the oven on.
- In a food processor, pulse 1/4 cup sugar and lemon zest in food processor until combined, about 5 pulses. Set aside. (If you don't have a food processor, combine the sugar and lemon zest in a small bowl and rub your fingers through the mixture until well combined.) Using a potato masher, in a medium bowl, mash the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of the lemon sugar until the berries are coarsely crushed.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk in the milk and the 8 tablespoons melted butter until smooth. Pour batter into the baking dish with the melted butter. Dollop spoonfuls of the mashed blueberry mixture evenly over the batter. Sprinkle with the remaining lemon sugar and bake until golden brown and edges are crisp, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool 20-30 minutes before serving. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
It was originally a Cook's Country magazine recipe. I used 2 cans of peach chunks in syrup (drained) in place of the blueberries. I used the lemon zest & sugar to top the cobbler. Pan in the egg as it heats up to 350°, pour in batter, then peaches, then zest / sugar mixture. 50 minutes until done.Large & Small BGE, CGW Two-Tier Swing Rack for BOTH EGGS, Spider for the Wok, eggCARTen & and Cedar Pergola my Eggs call home in Edmond, OK. -

Joking of course. And maybe, just maybe I will send you something.

@Ragtop99 to let the brine / marinade soak into the meat better.Thanks @Griffin it was great, please give it a try and let me know what you think. It had a nice hint of smoke, so I don't think I would bake it if I had any wood chips or chunks as i'm sure you could imagine.@Chubbs just joking right back. No need to send me anything, but if you happen to be in OKC for any reason we could definitely have a meal in your honor.Large & Small BGE, CGW Two-Tier Swing Rack for BOTH EGGS, Spider for the Wok, eggCARTen & and Cedar Pergola my Eggs call home in Edmond, OK.
