2024 Smoking/Grilling/Cooking Baking thread

Griddle was a success. Took a couple brown scotchbrite pads on the grinder to it and brought it down to the white then scrubbed and seasoned it. It still has a few nicks in it that I'll grind out later. Made a bunch of smash burgers on it. I'm going to finish grinding the pits and the weld some handles to it. Haven't decided if I'm going to use half inch round stock for the handles or a couple horseshoes.

The horseshoes would look "grate".

Think that's the direction I'm going to go, it'll look cool and be free.

Got some boneless pork chops on the weber now, tossed a chunk of cherry in the basket we'll see how they turn out. Having grilled apples and ice cream for dessert.

Grilled apples turned out great drizzled the syrup over the ice cream. Theyre definitely getting added to the dessert list.

Made some smash burgers when I got home from work. Each one got 2x 1/4 lb patties with a slice of Colby Jack between. I made some sautéed onions for mine.

I havent, but love lamb and always wanted to try. I saw Malcolm Reed has a video on it. I have used a few of his recipes, always turned out good.

A fat guy is never wrong when it comes to good food.

Thank you.

Seems like it would be a good choice for smoking.

Sometime when youre bored, and just ate, look thru a few of his recipes. His chicken sliders and homemade sauce is amazing.

Be warned, dont watch it if you havent ate… youll be digging thru the fridge munching on whatever you can find.

As the bacon hater said Malcolm Reed has a lot of great recipes and also has some good rubs. I can't get enough of the parmesan garlic potatoes.
they are just as good leftover, Yes, I ate well this past weekend....

Over the winter I started experimenting with calzones and stromboli,


also, some pepperoni pinwheels

32.5# of pork butt prepped and ready for the smoker tonight. Local FD asked me to do pulled pork for a Project Fire Buddies meeting. This is where they introduce the next terminally ill child and family they will be helping. Couldn't pass up on doing it for the cause.

Slab of ribs for us. Throw those on in the morning

Really liking my griddle plate for the webber. Still learning but these were sooo good. Thinking about adding some type of grease catcher to it since it does make a mess in the kettle.

It's go time. 225° for somewhere around 12-15 hours

For the last 10+ years I've ran a off-set stick burner. I just purchased a Traeger pellet grill. What's your favorite pellets for all around grilling? What's your go-to pellets for long smokes like butts, brisket, turkey, etc.?

Final one off. Took 17 hrs for this one but would be the furthest point from the heat source. Eat the Slab of ribs I did then time to shred it all

I use pit boss pellets. Like to blend the competition with apple and cherry for pork. Chicken I'll use the mesquite or competition blend. But it's all about preference
