    Thanks!
    It is definitely on our list to make again.
    Just S&P. The skewer i made worked great.
    Had a pc of pecan for smoke. 
    Got it from Wild Fork foods.

    This was great. Tender beyond belief.
    Very interesting/ingenious to have the small grate below fire ring for more head room. I'm thinking the bottom piece would get the most heat but it also has the benefit of basting fat from the pieces above. Any significant difference between the top and bottom, or did you pull the bottom off first?

    I may steal this idea next time I smoke whole salmons.

    The bottom pc was done medium, the one cut in the last photo I posted was med rare.
    I put the 2 thickest pcs on the bottom closest to the heat. I tried to keep them as high up as I could.
    The top 2 were leftover and will have another night this week.
    The bottom grate on the coals is just a leftover one from my bullet smoker, that I use for an air gap, below my drip pan. I purposed it for this cook to help the skewer stand upright.
  • Doing a variation of Malcom’s brown sugar bourbon chicken skewers.  Going to be interesting to see if I can pull it off on the Egg.  I’ve actually got the Large and the MiniMax going so that I can move the skewers from the hot zone to a cool one.

    Rolling pizzas in the hot box. Sourdough crust, I over hydrated, so felt like I was almost trying to stretch silly putty at times, but still good.

    Best looking silly putty I’ve ever seen! Nice.

    @Buckwoody Egger that is a great tale of a cook.  Nailed the finish.  Well played.

    A small (10" pan on the SBGE) paella cook.  The process is always the same.
    Waiting for the socarrat -
    The spears are asparagus and in addition to the shrimp are some artichoke hearts and a whole lot of garlic.

    Many thanks to @SciAggie for the fork tines method for nailing the finish.

    The socarrat was great as the rest of the one dish banquet.  
    Vampires vanquished for a bit-will definitely need to reload a few times before the end of the month.
    Stay healthy and safe out there-
    Beautiful cook, Frank. I have never done a paella and wouldn’t know where to start. 

    Do you cook with the lid open for the whole time? Kinda looks that way, given those D handles are protruding beyond the Egg’s grate.

    I cook with the lid open but can get decent closure for the finish even with those handles; gap is a bit over an inch open in the front.
    It is a fun cook.

  • @caliking: Looks great. Never thought to use that on ribs, but I bet it would work well. I admire your appetite for taking bits and pieces of others’ cooks and then using them for your own purposes. For you, this thread title should read “what are you doctoring tonight, chef?”

    @dbCooper - that is a great cut of beef that you did up right.  Sweet $$ shot and style points right there.  Congrats.
