    Hammer,[p]I did some porkchops tonight. One of stores had 1" center cuts for $1.79 p/lb. I did brine them for 5 hours and used the Dizzy Oinker rub. As usual, they were great. After dinner, I left one out to snack on later tonight.

    Hammer,
    Chicken breast cubes marinated in lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. Then skewered with olive oil-soaked onions and yellow and orange sweet (really sweet) peppers. Egged and terrific.

    I put a butt on a large BGE at 11:00 this morning, it is 140 degrees right now. I think it will be coming off about 7:00 tommorrow morning before I go to work. I will wrap in foil and put it in a cooler and then pull it just in time for Monday Night Football.[p]

    Hammer,[p]Lasagna, yup lasagna from a recipe by Emeril posted on FoodTV network. Pasta, much like pizza, picks up great brick oven flavor when baked on the Egg.[p]K~G

    Hammer,[p]I did a pan full of stuffed peppers. They were delicious![p]I also threw a couple stuffed jalapenos in there (cleaned out the seeds and stuffed with the same mixture as the stuffed peppers). They were VERY hot, but good. [p]Dan.

    Hammer,
    Did Spare Ribs on Saturday. Sunday did a meatloaf using mesquite chips for flavoring. Came out terrific!

  • Hammer,
    Friday night it was a bone-out leg-o-lamb with a mint/garlic/mustard paste. It was served with asparagus, saffron risotto and scratch biscuits. It was the third cooking session on my new egg and I'm still getting adjusted to the switch from my Weber. I accidentally reached 900F (the dome thermometer went all the way around and back to 150F) while I was waiting for the Egg to heat-soak. I cooled it off to a meager 600 before putting the lamb roast on the grill then I closed off the chimney and left the lower vent open about 1/3. The roast cooked to an internal temp of about 130 and everyone was happy.[p]

  • Qbabe cooked some killer good wings, I think using Ken Stone's Easy Life rub, and Buffalo Brand wing sauce. They were super, as were the ABT's that she threw on...for desert.

    Ed F,
    How about sharing the recipe for the Santa Fe cured loin? It sounds good, just by reading the name! I'm sure other members on the forum as well as I would like to know what you do!
    Thanks!
