    Well, I haven't visited or posted on this BGE forum in a few years due to numerous life changes in my life. Mostly health related. All good now!
    So here I am, I'm back ready to get back to being an egghead.
    As to the question "what are you doing right now?"
    I'm trying to decide whether or not I should read the 5619 post that I missed in this thread. lol!

    Today is Sunday so I get to back off the diet a little. Fixing to eat a bag of frosted animal cookies. One of my personal favorites 👍

    I committed to cook the meat for my work's thanksgiving potluck.  Then realized last week I have a conflict - will be in Nashville for a series of meetings while it's going on.  So just cooked everything this weekend and vacu-sucked it for reheating in SV.

    I did some quality control.

    found found out that you can indeed cook on a SoloStove Bonfire pit..


    I have another idea, but may need another firepit to execute. Have to gauge how much caliqueen will tolerate =)

    Sure thing. It’s Cook’s Illustrated recipe that @The Cen-Tex Smoker posted about awhile back. 

    Here is his post and I’ll just copy and paste his instructions here. 


    His instructions:

    Sweet & Spicy Pickled Onions
    * From Cooks Illustrated
    The onions can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

    Ingredients

    1 medium red onion, halved and sliced thin
    1 cup red wine vinegar
    ⅓     cup sugar
    2 jalapeño chiles, stemmed, seeded, and cut into rings
    ¼ teaspoon salt

    Instructions

    ~ Place the onion slices in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring the vinegar, sugar, jalapeños, and salt to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, to dissolve the sugar. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the onion, cover loosely, and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. When cool, drain and discard the liquid and serve the onions.

    @SonVolt Man, that’s some great looking food right there. You eat well. 
    Coleman, Texas
    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

    A couple of recent cooks.

    Pork Chop - seared and butter basted in a skillet (too cold to use the egg) served with sweet potato gratin



    Pork "Prime Rib" cooked raised-direct on the Egg, served with mustard onions from Sean Brock's new Southern food cookbook


    Coq a Vin (chicken braised in wine), served with buttered parsley noodles and pearl onions from Bourdain's first cookbook (RIP)


    Malbec braised spare ribs from Francis Mallman's Seven Fires, served over braised red cabbage. I seared these on the egg, then transferred to a pot with the wine and cook direct over the grate with the lid off ~30 minutes to get some smoke, then covered until tender. 

    Awesome looking cooks. However, did I just read “too cold to use the Egg?” The Egg is a year-round cooking apparatus. Some of us routinely Egg in -22F or lower. If only your resolve was as powerful as your cooks. 😉

    I could but I don't think the kids and wife would go for it  =)  Im just really slack wen it comes to getting plated pics. My girls said this is their favorite meal I cook. I love that because it's the easiest. Win win.

    Second night’s use of the brisket. Kelly’s award winning chili. Simmered first about 6 hours today.  Served with fresh bread. Ridiculously good.

    Hmmm, I've made this recipe a couple times, but I did it wrong!  I sliced the onions and stuffed them into a glass jar, and poured the rest on top, cooled, sealed, and put in the frig.  I've used them for maybe a month, they eventually turn purple/brown and I tossed the (few) remainders.  
    Haven't died yet, so will continue to use them this way.
