Back story- got on a tomatillo salsa kick many months ago- use hot (locally bought at a premium in fly-over land) smoked hatch chilis for the heat and flavor and every batch was quite tasty. So much so that I exhausted my personal supply so ordered from the Hatch Chili Store- went with medium hot on the first go round. Shoulda gone straight hot as the level of heat was not there. Thus the below audible enhancement-

I haven't messed with habaneros at that number for a few months and while they bring the requisite heat their flavor is predominant. No I did not use all six with the tomatillos you see above. Live and learn.
Once that finished it was on to the chargrilled oyster chase since enjoyed at Drago's (@nolaegghead's crawfish boil tipped the scale). I ran them a bit too long (BGE heat retention and adult supervisory beverages were the culprits) but I am good with the experimenting.
The technique and fine tuning for these make the holy grail quite elusive but fun to chase!
They were quite enjoyable.
Thanks for looking.
Stay healthy and safe out there-

I buy a bushel of Hatch chiles every August, but this last September we had a wind-shear event (99 mph windspeeds here in the Terrace), I lost power for three days, and this year's bushel had to be tossedlousubcap said:Back story- got on a tomatillo salsa kick many months ago- use hot (locally bought at a premium in fly-over land) smoked hatch chilis for the heat and flavor and every batch was quite tasty.

I can still buy a few chiles at a time at the grocer (think they're from CA) so I can get my fix, but I miss the convenience of having frozen chiles on hand.“I'll have what she's having."

Pork Tenderloin stuffed with cornbread stuffing, carmelized onions, and dried apricots. Not sure what to expect, but I have gotten bored with cooking lately. Trying to mix it up.

I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

Came out ok. Overdone by about 5 deg, but still tender. Stuffing concoction paired nicely. Need a bit more salt and pepper.

I made "Sam the cooking guy"'s favorite burger last night, it was delicious. Texted a few friends to let them know if I died overnight it was worth it. Sorry no pics, damn messy.

Looks good. I've never been able to figure out if I like apricots, or not. Should probably give them another chance.Ozzie_Isaac said:Came out ok. Overdone by about 5 deg, but still tender. Stuffing concoction paired nicely. Need a bit more salt and pepper.

Hot-smoked Salmon with tomatoes, noodles and special sauce.

I've read thru some of the hot-smoked salmon recipes here, they seem to go for 180 to 200 F, which I can't maintain on my Egg. A recent Cooks Illustrated used 275, so I tried that today. Cure was easy to remember, for each lb of fish, 1 Tblspn each of salt and sugar. Sprinkle on, let set in frig uncovered for 4 hours, rinse and pat dry, then back into the frig uncovered overnight. The surface was a bit tough, think I'll try 225 next time. Alder smoke.“I'll have what she's having."

Smoked these today. Served with fresh romaine lettuce, radishes and cherry tomatoes from my neighbors garden along with baked beans.

Wow, those look nice ... clean, no sauce. Hmmm, I'm cooking ribs this weekend. What was your method (temp, times, direct/indirect/wrap)?bucky925 said:

One rack was going to a friend that helped me out last week. I didn't know what he liked so I slathered them with just brown sugar and olive oil. Let them go for about 3 hours then foiled for an hour and finished them up with plain honey. Temp was in the 250 range and maybe eased up to 300 toward the end.Mark_B_Good said:

My favorite part of the beef rib! That meat close to the bone.

I drink cheap beer so I can afford good bourbon.

When I sit and eaten last date was three.We had some leftover inside stuff from the Sunday dinner party, so we made some and I fried them up with some freezer fries since I had the hot oil.Usually when I fire up the fryer I let my neighbors know, sometimes they throw something in the mix.______________________________________________I love lamp..
