This is on the BGE now!  :)

image

Was going to cook it Saturday night, had some daytime plans cancelled, and was psyched to throw it on now!   And, as an added bonus JUST as I was about to light the grill Amazon Prime showed up with my whiskey barrel smoking chunks!  Excited to try these out and looking forward to tasting this brisket tomorrow.

I decided to try it without the water pan this time to keep it simple and avoid any blocked airflow that may have caused my last smoke to go so long.  Based on advice of folks here, I shouldn't need the pan with the BGE.  (unless I want it for aroma or to catch drippings so they don't burn on the plate setter)  I'm all about keeping it simple, though, if the results are good.

Whattya got planned?

    I'm going to try a cream cheese jalapeno stuffed, bacon wrapped pork loin tonight.  I'm also trying out my new thermometers.  The ChefAlarm is from Thermoworks, makers of the thermapen.  It has a probe with a cable that can withstand heat to 700.  While not quite as fast as the thermapen, it reads in 5 seconds (therma is rated at 3, I think).

    The other is from accurite.  It's called the digital meat thermometer, and it is supposed to calculate the time left before the meat is done based upon cook rate and the desired temp.  It's probe cable is also supposed to withstand temps up to 700.

    Might smoke a cooked ham tomorrow in prep for Easter.

    Smoking a cooked ham?  Didn't even know you could do that.  So much to learn...

    Well, it's a first for me, but when I search on ham, I think most of the ones that are listed are already cooked.  I might be mistaken though.

    My weekend already started today (5/4/9 schedule) which is good because its supposed to be rain/snow/windy the rest of the weekend.
    Grocer had pre-made shish kebabs, two for $6; cheap lunches!

    image
     
    The meat was a bit tough, but was probably their leanest sirloin and did taste good, the charred veggies were great!  Also was reminded why I don't normally make kebabs as I knocked over a pitcher trying to slide the meat off the stick...

    Just some apps tonight, kids request,some people coming over for her 14th b-day. She wanted some ABT's and some stuffed baby bells. Among some others that really do not go with anything, but, her choice.

    20 whole ABT's and about 10 mini bells (more like medium for these ones)

    Tomorrow and Sun, no idea yet, i am guessing steak though.

    Family wanted to go out tonights, kids voted Texas Roadhouse. I can't eat steak there anymore but figured how could they screw up a burger smothered with shrooms, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion? Supposedly fresh ground chuck. She asks how do you want that done, well or med well? Med well, I'm feeling dangerous. That was one of the worst burgers I've bit into. Charred to an extreme, dry like sand inside. McDonalds serves a better burger...

    Sorry, had to vent. As far as egg, have some pizza dough all ready to go for tomorrow, not sure on Sunday yet.

    Tomorrow we'll be doing a first time trial run on a whole beef tenderloin- practicing for Easter guests. Late Saturday night we'll throw on two briskets to smoke to make Smoked Brisket Chili for the Athens afterparty.

    The Egg and I are shut down for the weekend so I will enjoy all of your cooks! I'm not complaining I get to spend the evening tomorrow with the most beautiful 9 year old young lady I know at a father daughter dance and then I get to eat a dinner she learned top prepare from girls scouts on Sunday. She is cooking for the family!
