Friday night dinner

Baby Girl suprised us by coming home so i cooked her favorite…salmon.

imageNothing fancy. A little seasoning and marinaded in soy sauce, brown sugar, water and evo.

imageWent on the cedar planks indirect but was running behind so i finished the filets direct…torched the cedar.

imageJust a pic of the Rockwood lump. This bag has nice, medium size chunks.

  • That's some nice looking lump...salmon looks good too...personally I don't care for it but my grandma loves it and has been asking me to make it...might have to get more tips from you one day soon...does the smell hang out in your egg long after?

    Nice cooks and photo work Tony.  The first shot is perfect...love the natural lighting, angle, and focal length.    =D>

    It may be time for you to show me a thing or two.
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....
  • Hey henapple can I ask you about the brisket? It looks like there isn't much of a layer of fat on the top of yours, what is the secret to that, how much of a fat cap do you have when you start out.
    Thanks

    Who the hell came over and took the pics? Caz or Hap or VI ??? Oh, real nice cook by the way. Cooking that well and someone on the payroll to shoot that good of pictures are you still going to hang around with me?

    Mike....easy. 1/3 cup b sugar, evo, water, soy
    Season and marinade

    Cazzy...thanks. The kitchen lighting sucks. Think Sher-bear would mind me setting up the tripod lights and ddiffusers?

    smoke..The brisket was a weird cook. Trimmed much more off than usual. S&P. I had to leave and knew it'd overcook so I pulled at 175, ftc for 3 hours and threw it back on till 200. Felt tender but was kinda dry. I went fat side down...could be why I got a Beyoncé brisket.

    Mickey....I'm not sure

    Thanks hap and chris
