It'a always intresting to see what the people on the forum cook over the week-end. So what marvelous cooks did you do on the BGE this Weekend?
Me? T-Rex Steaks served with a 1998 Gnarly Vines Zinfandel from Louis Martini. It was hard to determine which was better.

Hammer,
On Friday I did a 2-1/2 pound pork roast slowly over hickory chunk for use in some chili for an upcoming Sunday School soup and bread party. Followed up late that evening with some pita bread on the pizza stone. Saturday evening brought the chili cook - about 2 hours in a cast iron Dutch oven. Today it was some pork loin chops and chicken wings ... both with Carolina Treat bbq sauce. The egg is finally cooling off for a night's rest until I get back at it tomorrow with Cornish game hens.[p]Doc

Just kept a cooking and drinking beer.[p]Ordered 6 - 8lb pork butts from the local butcher for a low-n-slo starting on Wednesday evening. Cooking for people staying at the local Ronald McDonald House. [p]

Hammer,Boston Butt pulled pork. It was injected with Cajun garlic sauce, covered with mustard, garlic powder,and lots of Ken Stone's award winning Guilded Splinter rub. Smoked over aged hickory nuts...EVERYONE said it was the best "THANG" they had ever eaten. (We talk like that). First time I used the injected liquid garlic, great stuff!!
-
Hammer,[p]10 pounds of Jamaican Firewalk wings
Dizzy Cowlick Breakfast Brisket
Pork Butt
Grilled 'taters and grilled sweet 'taters
Stuffed Pork Loin
Spare ribs
and I sampled some of everything (I think) that Q-Babe and Mr Hyde cooked, too.[p]then tonight, more ribs and grilled corn on the cob that I forgot to cook yesterday.[p]BOB
-
singram,[p]It was all great, too! Thanks for feeding us!
-
tn slagamater,
MMMMmmmmmm. Did you do that regular low and slow? ~20 hours. Or hotter and shorter? I sounds wonderful!
-
Hammer, I've had my BGE three days and can't stop cookin. I cooked the Worlds best pork tenderloin yesterday, some hamburgers and a drunk chicken today. There is a pork butt getting ready for Tuesday. Stay tuned, story @ eleven.
-
Hammer,[p]Friday, flank steak. Saturday, strombolis. Today, 2 butts, a chuck roast, ABTs and grilled pinnapple for desert. Not a Florida Eggfest menu, man that sounded like fun, but still some good eating at the Watson house.[p]Have a great week everyone!!![p]Chuck
-
Hammer,[p]Today, Jamacian Firewalk chicken thighs. Foodsavered 'em for lunches next week.[p]Yesterday, smoked almonds ala chuckls. I'll be posting a recipe and photos in the near future.[p]Chuck

Steve-B, 225 dgrees for 16 hours, then bumped it up to 275 for another hour.Pulled at 200 internal temp to rest. It was the best bark I have ever had,too...
-
Hammer,
Did a couple slabs of baby backs. Came out excellent. I know it's been mentioned and almost the standard, but I tried coating with mustard before putting on the rub. Came out the best.
-
Slagman,
Sounds awesome. Your best bark ever?? That had to be good. How many pounds was the cut?[p]Scott
-
Four briskets, four racks of ribs, tried an overnighter on the new egg and failed. Temp was real low at 7:00am, I threw four butts away, oh well better luck next time.
-
Meatloaf Friday night. That's all of the Egg cooking I did this weekend. I spent the night at the firehouse Saturday, and helped cook some chicken breasts and drumsticks on a gas grill for dinner. They turned out pretty good, and it was so long since I've used a gas grill it was almost like a learning experience. [p]Maybe I can convince the Volunteer Fire Comission to give my department a budget for a large Egg and a large supply of lump and I could teach everyone there how to cook on it.
-
Hammer,
Sat. nite was blackened chickened breast using Ken Stones Wicked Grin rub. Sunday evening was 1/2 lb. burgers mixed with onions and mushrooms, seared with Gilded Splinters rub. I tell you, my large has not been used lately due to the mini being so easy to lite, cook and eat. For small meals it just cannot be beat.
-
Hammer,[p]Made beautiful wide grill marks. I seared for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side, didn't rotate on each side since the grid is so wide anyway. When I put it back on to finish I rotated it, the grid still had enough heat to put the cross hatch sear on. Delicious steaks!![p]Steve
-
Hammer,[p]Friday-T-Rex Steaks on the Small[p]Saturday-Baby Back Ribs on the Large[p]Both served with a 2004 Miller Lite ;^) [p]We were asked over to my BIL and Sister's house Sunday evening. Had to eat a steak off one of those metal contraptions. Oh well it was a good weekend, ribs were some of the best I've ever made (so da wife says, and she's usually pretty honest, though it could be a conspiracy....).
-
Blaze,
Sometimes we have to do, what we have to do. A steak on anything other than a BGe is just a steak IMO.
Hammer
-
duck,
Sounds like you had a workout on the Egg. What happened on the overnighter? Throwing four(4) butts away had to be a bad feeling; it would be for me.
Hammer
-
Hammer,[p]Yep, grin & bear it...after all it's about the company not the food, right? [p]
