Tonight’s menu:
Monster Pork Chops slathered with Mustard and JJ’s Rub
Sweet Corn from a small roadside stand in Eastern NC.[p]I will sear the chops at 600 and then drop the temp to 325 to get the internal temp to 155
The sweet corn will probably be boiled.[p]Just wanted to share,

    RhumAndJerk,
    Have you had good success with thick pork chops in the past?[p]I always feel that the 3/4" bone in chops are more tender and juicier.[p]Of course I am assuming that your's are thick.[p]Just curious.[p]Mick

    RhumAndJerk,
    "Candy Pork" for the kids (and us)....which is thin sliced boston butt marinated in a sweet char-siu marinade with red food coloring. Cook on skewers 250 direct for a couple hours. In fact, it is time to put them on![p]Brews to ya Mike. The chops sound righteously killer.

    MickeyT,
    These are 1.5 to 2 inches thick. The family and I will probably split one and save the other for tomorrow. Normally, I would simply use an eight minute dwell after the sear for pork chops. In this case, I will use a polder to get the temp right since the chops are that big.[p]I just remembered, I will probably have some Dixie Datl Datleberry Jam on the side.[p]Hope this helps,
    RhumAndJerk

    RhumAndJerk,[p]Bison burgers here. Ground Bison with some Q-Sauce, onion, green peppers, garlic, salt and pepper added to the meat. Cooked direct 350 or so till they are done, top with some black wrap cheddar cheese, sprinlked with some blue cheese, and its a little slice of heaven on earth.[p]Troy
  • RhumAndJerk,[p]Grill that corn! (run the corn with husk under water to soak husk, wrap in foil, and grill!)

    RhumAndJerk,
    Pickapeppa shrimp for an app. Shrimp Provencale over linguine for the main course. (If you can't tell, I picked up a few pounds of fresh shrimp on my way back from FL yesterday!)

    RhumAndJerk,
    Had ribs tonight Cooked @250 for 4 hr and 45 min and they were awesome. Have not tried the 3,1,1 method and probably won't because I don't think I could stand it if they were any better.

    RhumAndJerk:[p]I just poked my head in the kitchen and it looks like fried shrimp . . . That is OK, raining and rather messy outside this evening.

    TRex, This was the absolute best tenderloin I've ever cooked. I soaked the plank in water for 1-1 1/2 hours then rolled the tenderloin in DP rub and sprayed with extra virgin olive oil. Cooked direct on the plank at 300 until done. Moist and so tender.
    I also, tried Mahi Mahi Tuesday on a plank and it was great also.
    I have a site that I'm checking into that you can reuse the planks very often instead of a couple.
    IMHO a must try. The planks I bought were 3 for $15. You can get at least 2 if not 3 cooks out of each one.[p]CWM

  • RhumAndJerk,
    Hot wings and cold brew, side order of Alien on SciFi channel.
    Coat in Spin, cook at 275 for an hour, flip every thirty minutes.
    Wing sauce is one part butter, one part Tabasco, put tem wings wings in a container big enough to hold them all, slop the sauce to em , cover well and put em back on the grill to dwell until the redheaded girlfriend gets home.

    Car Wash Mike ,[p]Did you sear the outside of the tenderloin over open flame before putting on the plank?[p]Sounds like I've got to try this deal.[p]TRex
