The common thing I’ve seen it to cook before you peel, but to be honest that’s just an extra step I don’t want to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few years we’ve gone in on a quarter beef and got the tongues. The plan is to trim it (mostly of the ‘tongues’ exterior), smoke it to get some bark and cooler, then braise and shred it for something like barbacoa. It will be a small group so I like to test out some things for bigger cookouts. Any suggestions? Well, since you don't seem averse to the unconventional 😉 how about lamb fries? I've tried tongue a couple of different ways and ik not a big fan, but I'll eat it. I've had lamb fries both smoked and fried (prefer fried) and both ways were pretty good...

mrflynn03 Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 I've not tried tongue. I'm getting more adventurous. I have a package of 50/50 grass fed ground beef and liver mix in the freezer. I like the idea of the health benefits of liver but don't like the texture. Although I'll eat the crap out of a liver pate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, down here in Texas, Luby's Cafeteria has beef liver and onions, and Hartz Chicken Buffet has chicken livers. And the best Italian dish I've ever had was goose liver pate ravioli from a restaurant in DC... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) I grilled a full bird the other day. I like quarters and wife likes white meat. So I buy whole chickens and break them down. The leftover was made into a grilled chicken salad. For a side I roasted Brussel sprouts in bacon grease. After they were finished I added a diced up peice of bacon and maple butter. To make the maple butter I used 2 tablespoons of softened butter and 1 tablespoon maple syrup and tossed it all together. I recommend trying this Edited May 27, 2022 by mrflynn03 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Stayed last night at Candlewood Suites off the Bloomfield Rd exit in Bloomington. Staying another night tonight. No grilling or smoking but got a sweet salmon meal planned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had plans to smoke a pork butt or brisket this weekend, but I ended up working outside all weekend tending to the property and was too drained to do it, so I just grilled burgers and hot dogs on Sunday/Monday. On a positive note, I did drink the 12 pack of Ultra I picked up for the long weekend! It went down extra smooth working outside in the heat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the pork butt mopped with a bourbon based glaze on Saturday. Turned out awesome, but having problems with my rotisserie. It is made by Weber, and supposed to be designed to fit all Weber grills, but I am finding that it doesn't seem strong enough to hold a 5-6 lb. piece of meat. The end of the spit keeps coming out of the bracket. Gonna have to do some engineering, or look into a better set up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck getting it figured out. It does seem like a cool application if it works correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their customer service has always been outstanding to me, and one of the reasons all my grills are Webers. They've always given me any parts I've needed for free. Good luck... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lasted about a half an hour... And I guess I failed on the Ultra front. I bought a 12 pack, but have 4 left... I'm a lightweight any more 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaybobHoosier Posted May 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Didn’t do much grilling. I did burgers on Saturday, but nothing else. Need to give my smoker a good deep clean. Really need to get some pork, chicken, and brisket in the smoker soon. I really like smoking chicken quarter thighs (bone in) after a good brining. Household favorite that everyone really likes.

I drank the 12 pack over the entire long weekend ha. I would have done 18-24 a few years back haha.

Household favorite that everyone really likes. I had to clean out my weber genesis this weekend and it really needed it. I typically give it a deep clean once-twice a year, but it has been over a year and it was disgusting inside. Lots and lots of scrubbing grease off interior. I am however usually pretty good about cleaning out my smoker after every use. Edited May 31, 2022 by FritzIam4IU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
