PSA- Heads Up- May 7th is Little Steven's Birthday-Time for advance planning-

Options
With all the stay safe at home and shelter in place directives you should have lots of time to get something together to cook on the 7th.  Feel free to post suggestions, comments, cooks and anything else.  Canadian beer is endorsed (but not light/lite).  
Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    Thanks for the reminder.

     I was actually thinking about him the other day, and read through the memorial thread for him that was posted here. 

    Will put my thinking cap on and come up with something.

    Didn’t know the guy, but have seen his posts and some high praise from his fellow Eggers. Good thread, Frank!

    Does anyone have that luggage (suitcase?) chicken recipe handy?

    I miss the little feller!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Closing in on this coming Thursday.  Plan and then make it happen.
    This cross-border shut down has really limited my access to GWN beer.  After social distancing and sucking a friggin mask (just kidding as I sucked much more rubber with the fire department-amazing what you can do when your life is on the line!) I cannot find any canned beer for the invertabird.  Molson Canadian is all that is out there-three different liquor stores and 4 different grocery (yes you can sell beer in a grocery store in KY-we are moving up the progressive chain) stores and all I can find are the glass bottles.  But we will make it happen.
    Be well-

    Had grand plans to turn the egg into a tandoori oven for the tribute cook. But life happened and got side tracked.


    So doing burgers and some “short” grilled asparagus.

    Nicely done, Frank. I’m sure you done him proud. 

    I think this is the first and only cook I’ve ever seen on this forum made possible by Office Depot. When you’re hungry but only halfway through filing your taxes. 🙂

    Nice yard and nice cook, you did LS justice my friend. My folks call that flat top pot, real space saver since they can be nested.

    Belated Happy Birthday to our friend Little Steven.

    Ran out of whole chicken, cooked a little chicken (cornish hen) instead  :) Meant to cook legs up LS style but not enough head leg room in the Ranger pellet pooper, legs are still in the air though  B) 

    Tried Chepsteps' trussing technique and love it ... no soggy skin behind the knees and entire breast protected by crispy skin. Thanks to @Focker for first posting about it, and @cssmd27 for testing it and the PSA on making sure the string is long enough (hand to hand with arms outstretched).

    Great color on that bird, @Canugghead ! And I learned a knew way to truss a chicken. I can't tie roasts, etc. for shite, and really need to work on that too.

    And as for that pot being a space saver, it filled the suitcase when I lugged it back from Kolkata!

    Thanks. Little Steven was the kind of guy that you felt as if you had known him for way longer than you did. And wish you had known for way longer than you did.

    Thanks, but I'm sure it wasn't empty though.
