Cured a huge 3.5lb salmon filet overnight, now it's drying.  Gonna throw that in the smoker this afternoon.

NY strips on the Weber and a blind tasting for a friend dipping his toe in the bourbon waters.

Wow someone knows how to properly grill a steak. Love that method and gives a great sear and minimal greyband. What’s the seasoning you used?

Thanks!

I’m not a grill gadget guy generally but the vortex has been a welcome addition to my weber. It is very versatile. Can sear steals like above or smoke a turkey vertically like below.

Bought a Turkey breast the other day. Split out the backbone and spread it flat. Peeled back the skin and seasoned liberally with Jack Stack rub, replaced the skin, then layered a pound of bacon across the top. Smoked with Hickory logs until half done, then moved to the grill to finish. Preliminary tastes are beyond good... waiting for it to cool to slice...

Serving with roasted balsamic glazed brussel sprouts, with pecan and bacon bits, and Santa Maria Style beans.  Oh, and a few ounces of Turkey.  RR SiB PS, that is...

Controlling temperature is a wonderful thing, isn't is? Looks good Big Papa! I need more of a heads up. I can be there in 15 minutes, no matter where you are

Just pulled a fatty off off the smoker, and devouring it now with a Baker’s on the rocks.  I call this style The Deuce, in homage to its creator “Novaman”.

Just pulled a pork tenderloin (left) and salmon (right) from the smoker, along with some pineapple off the grill.

Simple has it's place for sure. When I get cravings really bad, your grill selection is perfect...

My favorite summer time cocktail aided in turning out some pretty solid pork.

Since it was early, my pour was only about 1.5ozs of Barrel Bourbon; but, remember, it's still early.

 

It went well with , bacon wrapped filet mignon, 10 to a pound ruby red shrimp (deep water shrimp), mixed veggies, seasoned golden creamer potatoes & TX toast.

Disclaimer: There are only 8 shrimp in the pic because I harked 2 of them before my Wife got a count

Looking good bayouredd...  My grill will be similar in a few hours, bacon-wrapped prime filet and lobster tails.  Leaving the veggies to the mrs inside, though.  Saturday night surf-n-turf...  edit - and just as I say that, I'm throwing corn on the cob on the grill too. Getting hungry!

Vermont maple-smoked turkey breast following the recipe of the same name in Steven Raichlen's 'BBQ USA' at page 424.  Essentially, the dry rub is  spicy but has a maple sugar base, and the baste is butter and maple syrup.  The recipe says to cook to 170F, but experience with this recipe tells me an honest 160F (as called for on the Amazing Ribs temperature guide) is a better bet.  We accompanied this with fried green tomatoes and the last of our buttered peas from last year's garden.  Old Fashioneds made with Makers Mark Cask Strength, maple syrup, and orange juice over ice with a touch of club soda worked, too.

 

EDIT - I used Trader Joe's bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup.  THIS is worth seeking, IMHO.

 

Weber Summit Charcoal Grill w/Fogo lump broken up to briquet size; indirect heat.  Maple chips (yeah, I know, but couldn't find chunks on short notice, and my wife wouldn't let me use a local tree branch I'd saved).  Cook time about an hour for 5 lbs.

Great Minds!!! I actually went to get lobster but got to the fish market too late & didn't want to fight that part of the crowd. The shrimp was a shorter wait. Post the pics when you get em...

I'm not really a turkey fan, but that looks fantastically cooked to perfection. I wish we had a Trader Joe's. I've been to a couple in my travels, but alas I live in too Podunk of an area...
