Semi-OT: Shirley Fab Seasoning/Biscuit Test/Pig Boom/Burgers On The Chargrill

edited March 2017 in EggHead Forum
Sprayed everything down with Pam, lit some lump charcoal, and threw on a couple of splits. Also fired up some lump in the chargrill to cook a few burgers.

Several folks also asked for some photos of the pig boom so I included a couple of photos to explain.

The Tel-Trus on the chamber stayed within 10 degrees or so.

Photos are in no particular order.

Lighting the lump in the firebox:

    First cook on it is Monday. Doing one butt, a cut up yardbird, and some smoked Mac & Cheese as a tasting menu for a catering gig I have coming up in June for 100 people.

    I like the idea of using biscuits in all of the zones to check for hotspots/temp variances - very wise.

    Have fun!    If you can't get it done with that rig, you can't blame the rig.  =)

    I read about the biscuit test on BBQ-Brethren, good way to gauge hot/cold zones. 

    You are right, if I fall short using this beast it's squarely on me.

    can you take a pic of the back when you get a chance?  It looks like you have some custom sign back there.

    The biscuit test works well, but my son figured out that he prefers to use the bacon test for assessing temp on an offset.

    MIke,

    That's a great name even though I could do without the Navy Reference.  #GoArmyBeatNavy!  Gotta say it, bro!

    Congrats again.  I knew it would look great, but I didn't think it would look THAT great!
