What Are You Chef-ing Tonight, Dr?

Fired up the XL egg around 330 this morning. Filled it with Rockwood charcoal, and a mix of hickory oak and cherry wood.  After It had settled in for about an hour at 250°, I tossed on 23 pounds of pork(two massive butts)… tonight was the last home volleyball game of the year, and senior night, so they were hoping to raise some money for new uniforms…pork brought in over $300.

@ryantt - that is a great cook and fund raiser.  Talk about taking a big one for the team...Well done.
Related did the chef in residence (Norah Grace) take a pass here??  
Stay healthy and safe out there.

@lousubcap, Norah helped, she had to be up at 4am to go for an EEG, so she trimmed and seasoned things up and the went in for her testing.

One of the few beef rib cooks where all four bones decided to advance in the same direction.  Sweet @bubbajack.

@bubbajack those beef ribs look incredible but the cutting board you made is even more impressive!  Nicely done!

We haven't been able to find a local source for meaty beef ribs.  Does anyone have a good online source for beef ribs?


Tuesday's cook:  Carne Asada tacos - quick, easy and delicious!  

Coming up to 500 F


Pretty standard marinade of orange and lime juice, garlic, jalapeno, oil and vinegar


Took it to 150 F - IT (should have pulled a little earlier, but still good)

@Coastal_OReggON - great tacos right there.
And offering a website that has great beef (and pork) that can suck your discretionary spending into negative numbers:

Their dino bone beef ribs are the best I have ever had.  I have no affiliation other than the spend but do land there likely more than I should but for many years I have succeeded in not hitting the SWMBO trip wire.

Made some pizza.  Did it inside because it is pouring rain, but it was still good eats.

Halloween prep?  Turning your toilet into the scariest place in New Orleans?

Thukpa, or Tibetan Chicken Soup.  I've never had Tibetan food nor even seen a recipe until now.  Basically chicken noodle soup with tomato, red pepper, green beans, carrot and cabbage, seasoned with garlic, cumin, ginger and a whole buttload of serrano and lemon juice.  Is also supposed to have rice noodles, I thought I had some but they turned out to be bean threads (which I used against my better judgement).  I didn't think rice grew in Tibet, but a quick Wikipeak says it does grow in the southern regions.  
This was actually really good, and I'll be making it again (but with egg noodles so I won't need a spoon and a fork).

Thai beef salad with cauliflower rice.

Listening to Black Eyed Peas radio.  “Tonight’s Gonna Be A Good Night” is playing.

Veggie beef soup with a beef rib added and smoked for about 4 hours. It did not suck.

@Botch, you brought back all kinds of memories. 

Tibetan food is a a fair thing in Kolkata, India, where I’m from. Spent many late hours, at any number of the city’s Tibetan joints, scarfing down momos, thukpa,  etc.

Fired up my bargain KBQ for the first time. Simple chix, seasoned with Oakridge SPOGOS and their Game Bird & Chicken rub. Post oak with some mesquite. It was fabulous.

Cali theses things require drip pans under the wheels? That’s a first.

Just a precaution, since it was the first cook on this unit. It's a bish getting grease stains off of stone. 

Edit: The wheels and chains are not stock.
