My weekend of grilling is starting tonight:
Weds: Chicken and Steak Kabobs
Thur: Burgers and Dogs
Fri: Salmon Filets
Sat: Brisket
Sun: Chicken Wings
Mon: Cheddar Brats (amazing, made by my butcher)
Plenty of app's and sides to be made as well.
The brisket is a monster. 18.5lbs untrimmed. Thinking of separating the point from the flat and only cooking the flat on Saturday. I can then grind up the point for burgers/meatloaf.
Should be a good, relaxing weekend.
Cheers to my fellow Eggers!Steve

sounds great @YEMTrey! Are you starting the brisket Friday night and doing an overnight cook? I have yet to do anything low and slow on my Egg (just got it last weekend) and I understand that pork butt is pretty forgiving and easy to do so I figured I would give it a shot.

Mon: "Never boring pork burgers" -
@IPASooner , yes I'm going to start the brisket on Friday night. Gonna get it going late friday night, wake up and check on it before I head to the golf course and hopefully come home and have a couple of beers while it finishes.Steve

RRP Prime rib
First the rub:
RRP’s Prime Rib Rub – Though it’s not really mine!
As for a rub I love this one. I just wish I knew where I got it so as to give proper credit as it is not my formulation! It's terrific on prime rib…with this rub seared on the outside and then the rare tasty meat on the inside!
This quantity will make enough rub for a 2.5 pound boneless prime rib.
1 T ground (dry) mustard
1.5 tea table salt
0.5 tea paprika
.25 tea ground allspice
.25 tea fresh ground pepper
1 tea granulated onion powder
0.5 tea garlic powder
Wet prime rib with Worcestershire and apply rub. Because I like more salt I also sprinkle it with coarse Kosher salt as well.Then as for your other questions:
One prime rib piece for 6 adults will be a pretty big piece of meat and what I prefer to do is have 1 piece per 2 people. That way every portion will have the tasty benefit of the sear and the rub to blend with the medium rare inside. Also this works in case some people want theirs more well done or more rare. The 3 pieces will be easier to "hot tub" also. I just use food grade plastic bags and seal with a twisty. Then I submerge them in a small sealed cooler partially filled with hot tap water. Just squeeze out the air so they don't float. I leave them for at least an hour though when thick 90 minutes is better.
I place mine on a grate sitting on a drip pan. That indirect method seems to roast better. Dome at 325° and count on about 25 minutes per pound. BTW a 2# boneless prime rib will be about 3" thick so in other words for 6 adults you want 6 pounds or 9" of meat. Granted if a pound per person sounds too much just change.
I use an internal probe and when the meat gets to 125 internal I remove from the grate, remove the pan and just leave the meat on the main grate, but off to the side while I remove the daisy and open the bottom vent. Typically I can get to searing temps of 600 within 5 minutes and then move the meat back to the center and sear. It will not take long to get to 135 internal which will be a nice medium rare. Remove the meat, tent with foil and let it rest 5 or 10 minutes and then cut each portion in half.
Hope this helps and good luck!

I have a full brisket that I'll be smoking Saturday night into Sunday. We've been thinking about setting up a TV out in the driveway to watch all the races while cooking, starting with the F1 Monaco GP and ending with the 600 and inviting the neighbors. Good way to enjoy the day if you ask me (I'm considered the neighborhood "redneck" by some so might as well live up to it). Just need the weather to work out in Charlotte, Indy and home for it to work out without a hitch.Large and Mini BGE

Going to a cabin on the Frio River and will not have an egg but it will probably be the only time our family of 4 is together this summer due to college/summer school/high school graduation/etc issues so we are really looking forward to it. Will have brats/burgers on Friday, steaks on Saturday and wings on Sunday - and bacon every morning.
And since my loving bride prefers wine to beer we will probably drink a lot of it.
And if the weather permits we will spend the afternoons sitting in the river eating ice cold watermelon, not caring if it drips on us because when we are done we will just dip in the water. My wife doesn't get how much pleasure my son and I get out of something this simple.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

Traveling to GA to our friend's blueberry farm. Fresh, picked by us, blueberries await along with a gallon or so of freshly harvested orange blossom honey. We're gonna have a mini Throwdown between myself and the Wife of the other family with steak being the theme. Good food and good friends. And bringing a couple thousand rounds to do some plinking with my buddy.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

The weather here is calling for rain all weekend. The only thing I am cooking for sure are burgers and brats so far on Sunday for our neighborhood get together. I may do something Friday night, but Saturday night is date night so we will be going out. Kind of boring here.
