I'm testing out a new Jamaican jerk rub on a batch of nice, thick loin chops. Gonna smoke them for an hour or so, with a chunk of apple, then a quick sear at the very end.

just grabbed a 12 lb(smaller than I wanted) brisket at Norpac and a case of baby backs should be a tummy filled weekend

Not sure yet. Looking at veal chops mabe this weekend. Nevertried them before, but everyone says they are good. If not then steak or chicken.

[KevinG]

Tried a couple of spatchcock'd chicken tonight... results were mixed.

[Burtess]

Two butts on tonight..... and then 8 racks of spares and 8 racks of baby backs on Sunday.... lots of people coming over for my daughters 13th birthday party.... going to have to run both WSM's on Sunday to fit all those ribs!!

DOH! Late entry.

Had a couple of big t-bones on last night. Came out yummy. A little dry (still working on technique), but yummy nonetheless.

8 Racks of spares on the WSM at my brother in laws (primo is too heavy to travel ) Turned out great.

Going to do a beer butt chicken on the gasser ... no smoke ... her wishes ... not mine!

I'm in the same boat, Sqeezy. My wife doesn't care for the smoke flavour, but loves beer can chicken off the gasser. When I do chicken this way I usually do 3 birds and freeze 2 of them. She loves it.
Weird, eh?

[Squeezy]

Do the frozen ones reheat well? I think they would lose something ....

You're right that is weird ...

[Trev]

I think it loses some of the flavour and moisture when it freezes, but my wife doesn't seem to mind. She has a very peculiar diet to begin with, due to a medical condition. I prefer to get a good feed when it comes off the grill, but then leave the rest for her to deal with over the next week or so.

[Squeezy]

Mine usually leaves it for me to deal with .... hmmmmm?

[Cramden]

Well,.... I'll be busy tyin the knot for the first time ( and last ) this weekend and it's prime rib with all the trimmings.

But Sunday it's ribs on the kettle for a selected few from the festivites and next week I'm treating myself to a WSM.

Life is good


Cheers to all
