I'm gonna have a great weekend! Started with a trip to the slaughterhouse yesterday. Picked up a 12# packer, a 9# butt and 2 1.5" filets.
Last night smoked 6# of bacon to be sliced later today. Sneak preview for breakfast and it's my best batch yet. Didn't soak as long and added maple to one batch. That one is money.
Next up, cut 4 steaks off the butt to be Tasso Ham tomorrow. The rest is cubed and ready to become American style breakfast sausage this afternoon.
The filets are in the marinade of Monterey steak and wooster for the day. Tonight they will be super.
I cut part of the flat off the brisket and it's cubed to be ground into ground beef for later use. The rest of it will go in the egg overnight for lunch on Sunday.
Oh, and as a bonus, finally found that tri tip for next week some time!
Whew, what a weekend of cooking!
Hope you guys have as much fun as me. More pics to follow.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -

@Jeepster47 between filets tonight and brisket likely two meals tomorrow the peeps may be on beef overload. Playing by ear. Plus my new wok and spider will show up today and I have to work that in somewhere. Decisions decisions :-?

Forget charlotte. I'm coming to georgia.Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

@Jeremiah ... hmm ... it's about a nine hour trip for me to "Jason's egg." We could have a mini-fest with all the meat in the fridge. Help the family avoid that dreaded "beef overload." It'd be a humanitarian mission.

All in there's probably 50+ pounds in the fridge. Bring it on. We'll have to defrost the pork rack, loin and other belly, but that's ok.on a side note, I really need another fridge.

Sounds like a great weekend brother, enjoy! Will be checking in on your money shots.

See, that's the problem with an egg. You need "next to the egg" storage for the grilling equipment. Then you need another fridge for the "will cook it soon" protein and the BBQ sauces that you're trying out. Extra cabinetry for the rubs and spices that you've "just had to try." Then a freezer for the "to cheap not to buy" protein. A storage rack for your stash of lump that you bought "just in case" the local dealer runs out. It just never seems to end ...theyolksonyou said:... on a side note, I really need another fridge.
