Results of Cooking Duties Over Labor Day (Large PIC HEAVY)

Posts: 74
My parents were finally breaking in their pool after many years of waiting to pull the trigger, and I got tasked with cooking duties for the majority of the weekend. I was a bit nervous and I probably went a bit overboard, but I hauled the egg and a bunch of meat out to their house.
Here's dinner from Saturday night, before, resting and sliced...




Here's the medium, packed to the gills with a trimmed up 9 lb prime packer and an 8 lb pork butt. No pictures of the result, as we had a crowd of about 15 and it was gone quick (I will take that as a good sign).

And finally, here was my first attempt at pork belly burnt ends, resting after getting some smoke, then being finished up on my father's stick burner. These were fan-freaking-tastic and probably what I was most pleased with, given cost, ease of cook and general reaction.


Also did some burgers that we ground up (mix of some previously trimmed pork belly, prime brisket trimmings and chuck. No pictures here either (I blame the large amount of beverages consumed).
All in all, very pleased with the results. A great deal of the credit is owed to this forum, as I shamelessly ripped off some of your own ideas (though I did try and give some credit).

The food all got eaten up, so that's typically a decent indicator, but like most of the time I am my own worst critic. Should have probably used more seasoning on the rib roast, as it did not have as much flavor towards the center of the roast.
And I may or may not have completely forgotten to season the burgers. But no one said a word and I will just act like I had planned to let the meat shine on its own all along.in Houston, TX
