The smoked fished and shrimp look great.

 

First time on the shrimp. They are good, but think they will benefit from being smoked a day earlier.  I added too much charcoal at the end of the fish and ran temps too high. End result was fine, but not the best batch. The Steelhead Trout held up to the flare up and was the winner.

Say Bob.…….how about coming to Bardstown next April for our Sampler weekend and sharing your grilling/smoking skills with us? :)

A weekend of BBQ and bourbon nerdery sounds great! I’ve read references and bits n pieces. Is it always the same weekend?

From Sunday: Sirloin strip steaks marinated overnight in Teriyaki dressing. We then used a Mediterranean rub on the two smaller steaks, and a bourbon brown sugar rub on the other two. The Mediterranean was good, but the bourbon brown sugar was great. It paired perfectly with the Bush's Bourbon and Brown Sugar baked beans.

What cut of meat is that?  I will be making this soon.

Sorry for the delayed response.

Bottom Round.

Injected it with beef broth the night before. Used a little of my favorite beef rub.  Smoked it at ~ 225-230° until the internal temp hit 115°.

Blasted the heat to warp 10, and seared all sides til the temp hit 125° 

Wrapped and rested for 1/2 hr, or so, then sliced thinly across the grain

Not the prettiest pic, (was recovering from an epic bachelor party), but you get the idea.

Citrus grilled chicken.

Smoked and seared cowboy ribeye and OGD114 on a large ice cube. Happy ending to a long work day.

Per Skinsfan's comment, bottom round, top round, or eye round can be used.  Just be sure to slice it thinly.  Here's a link to a 2013 Washington Post recipe for it based on a pit beef recipe from a family in Baltimore who has been cooking this for years professionally in small batches.

AND, here's a link to a pit beef recipe on amazingribs.com.  I've been a blogger/subscriber there for four years now.

This is pretty much what I do, too.  If I like the looks of an eye round further down the meat counter, I buy that chunk instead and skip the injection step.  I mentioned you in a post on this thread a couple minutes ago (see above).

Nice JC. How was that cowboy ribeye? I almost bought a couple at Sam’s Club last weekend.

It was fantastic. My grocer had the price lowered quite a bit since the 'sell by' date was the date I bought it. 

I mistakenly let it smoke a little too long and got it a little past medium. Live and learn.

Thanks. We’re looking at grilling out for the 4th. Gotta keep my options open. ;)

Tonight, we did a 4 pound mostly boned 1/2 turkey breast finished with one slather of Coca Cola/brown sugar sauce (with sauce cooked until it all melted together before slathering about 5 minutes before the breast "finished" at 160F internal ).  Cook was indirect with lid closed and took about 1 hour (1.5 hrs. likely if you are doing a whole, boned breast).  HENCE, I added ice to my helper - bourbon - to get me through the boring spots.  Tonight it was 2 generous ounces of AAA with 2 small cubes, taking it to about 50-60 proof.  ALSO, wife used the AAA to make her sauce for the sweet potatoes/marshmallow casserole.  Home grown wax beans plus a salad with the last of this year's lettuce and homemade sorbets (strawberry and apricot with homemade black current sauce) rounded out the meal.

Couple of butts with Eastern Carolina sauce (hard to explain for a Georgian but whatever) and a healthy side of EWBIB

I’ve never posted to this thread before. I smoke a lot of meat but generally small batches on a Big Green Egg. My dad has a real smoker though and once in a while I drag it up to my house. Love this thing

Some baby backs on the Egg. They've been on for close to 5 hours at 250⁰ dome temp. These are pretty meaty (got them at Costco). I'm anticipating them taking 5.5-6 hours. I'll try the 90⁰ bend test in another 30 minutes. 

I'm thinking I'll pair them with some OFD114 and a cube of ice. The wife is doing her sweet potatoes, which are perfect compliment to bbq. Last but not least is a black diamond watermelon.

How about a couple lbs of shrimp. Seasoned and to be smoked with cherry wood. It will be a shrimp cocktail with homemade cocktail sauce, of course. The sauce will consist of ketchup, a little soy, a little Worcestershire, a little lime juice, and a shit ton of fresh horseradish, fresh from a friend's garden. It is definitely not for the meek, but awesomely delicious.
