Short ribs last night, SPG and hickory chunks. About four hours at 250ish...

Way to source from Oak Barn. Those look great.

Thanks for the reminder I need to do some beef ribs asap! IMO there is no better smoked meat cut.

Sausage (tandooriwurst) from a freezer dive, with peppers and onions. Didn't suck.

@caliking. That looks fantastic. Love sausages 😋Greensboro North Carolina

Picanha in the traditional style.




One fell off on to the grate, so learning point for next time is to add an arrester devise to the bottom of the skewer.
Lots of coarse salt and little SPG.
The one in the image stayed not he skewer and the texture was remarkably different.
First attempt at salmon on a plank scheduled for tomorrow as it is SWMBO's birthday.Other girls may try to take me away

Creative rig right there. Sweet $$ shot.

Nice cook, but those skewers are brilliant. Perfect for vertical roasting in the BGE. Did you buy those, or have them custom made?CPFC1905 said:Picanha in the traditional style.

Re: an arrestor thingamajig, a couple of turns of wire would do the trick. But... a small potato at the end would be moar delicious! When I'd do tandoori chicken in the tandoor, those potatoes at the end of the skewer would be fought over.
And, a very happy birthday to your obviously better half.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

Great cook and love the skewers, did you buy it or hack it out of a regular V shaped one? I'm thinking of splitting the end with an angle grinder cutting wheel and bending to form the T handle. I may try one for tandoori.
Also agree with using potato (or onion) at the bottom, a stainless steel cotter pin should work well as an arrestor.canuckland -

Here's where the skewers are from https://pitbarrelcooker.com/collections/hanging-accessories
They were a gift from SWMBO as we plan to do tandoori chicken pieces soon. She also got me the long flexible wire skewers for some Chermoula marinated vegetables last Summer.
Will try various arresting methods and update you in due course. 👍Other girls may try to take me away

Cold, rainy & miserable day today, then Chef John gives me a recipe for Caldo Verde!

Pretty simple soup; onion, garlic, sausage, thin-sliced russets and chopped kale, bone broth and salt (I did add black pepper too). Cook it until the potatoes break down and thicken. It's Portuguese, supposed to have Linguiça but none at the market so used mild Italian sausage instead. Perfect for a cold February day."Hallelujah, Noel, be it Heaven or Hell,

Grew up with that soup, broth from pork bones, my nana added yellow eye beans or northern whites. Always served with scali bread and butter....fukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it -
That looks so inviting @Botch. Very nice.
Thanks for the link. I have 4' skewers for the tandoor, but they are cumbersome for down-the-top-vent BGE cooking. I'll look into these.CPFC1905 said:@caliking

That bowl is dead sexy, @botch. I always enjoy your cooks, but this one is special.

I would post this on a stand-alone, but it would feel disingenuous given my minimal contribution. Delivered by in-laws for us to heat here.

Your in-laws rock and that is a consistent theme. Looks fantastic.

That looks great, but your logic confuses me. Why would it feel disingenuous in a stand-alone but not a “what are YOU cheffing now” thread?GrateEggspectations said:I would post this on a stand-alone, but it would feel disingenuous given my minimal contribution.

They are not kidding about that warning. About 25 years ago I put a few into a toaster oven and they melted, poured on the heating element, and caught on fire. Almost burned an apartment complex down.I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

This was SWMBO's delayed birthday dinner. It was one day late as we drank wine on her birthday and elected for pizza instead around the mid-point of bottle two.
First go with planks for the salmon, Meater typically helpful in all regards.
Small amount of wood chunk added to coals for extra smoke.
Thick cut 10oz rump and sirloin received a four minutes alongside the salmon, then pulled while I opened all vents - back on for a fiery three minutes.
Served with mashed potato and samphire.
