I suspect we will be cooking at home quite a bit over the next couple of months.  I need to fix my BGE (bands have bent), but will probably take care of replacing those tomorrow so that I'm in good shape.  I don't know about all of you, but I'm planning to start with a couple of pork butts so we'll have plenty of vacuum-sealed PP to put in the freezer.  

So put aside the petty politics (I know, guilty as charged) and share what you're smoking up during this extended stay.  There has to be some upside to all of this, and extended use of the BGE seems like something worth focusing on for all of us here.  

This may be a good time to clean up your MM...

That thing is nasty....probably the source of Covid19.

Going to get weird with dumplings. 

Also have 3 freezers full of mostly fancy meat that need to be cleared out. Have some wagyu chuckies, some really nice ribs from the pig we made sausage from, and a bunch of sausage we made.

and I want to fire up the Roccbox several times. Way overdue there 

Sausage pizza?

For sure. We made some Merguez that would be perfect on a pie.

You need to give the ultra thin crust a try on the Roccbox.  I like it quite a bit and it’s easy.

Im going to try a few different styles. We have a nice starter and some really nice flours looking for a home. I’m not eating at a restaurant for a while. That sucks but not chancing it. Those guys on the line can’t afford to stay home unless they are fully sick. It’s not their fault but I’m not doing it.

Well since 12,500 Americans were dead from Swine Flu in April of 2010, and no huge panic or stock market crash then, I will be egging and eating at restaurants as normal .  Pork butt, old bay chicken , and hot
wings 👍🏼

I fully encourage you to do so.

I have a good stock of various meats in the freezer. If things get bad, theres about 15 deer in my fields every evening.

Yeah, it seems kind of funny that a Minnesota chain grocery store carries tri-tip. I was surprised myself when stumbling across it a few years back.

My wife came home with tri-tip steaks tonight. Which are fairly common in south Twin Cities Cubs I've found. I'm fortunate that our local Cub down the road also caries tri-tip roasts. Which ends up being really nice that they don't cut them up into steaks and give you the option. I'm sure the guy working the meat counter at your Cub can get you a roast if they carry tri-tip steaks.

Better harvest them now. There will be a run on those too.

Someone flagged this?  Really?

Probably a fat finger get or some douche that flags you no matter what you say.  

2 taps for a flag, so more likely douche than fat finger, although the 2 aren't mutually exclusive.

Plenty of food in the deep freezer including a whole 15lb turkey that was just $7 at the time, couldn’t pass that up. Last night I did chicken thighs and drumsticks

Ribs on.

How long do cryo vac ribs last?  I found two slabs of SRF in the garage freezer. 2-3 yrs old I’m guessing.

Some good meat offers today. Half of this on the Egg, half in the freezer. This will smoke for a couple of hours then foil wrap and braise to pull.

Didn't someone just cook a 7 year old steak?  I think you are good.  I would give them a go.

Just came home with 2 whole fryers, 3 lbs ground chuck and a 10 lb butt from Patton's. Said they had to close early yesterday when the shelves went bare. Very limited today.

We have a full freezer also, so nothing special other than starting a pastrami from scratch. The brisket flat is soaking in water now to remove the remaining corning brine.
