[wagner]

I know there are some people on here who like to cook so post up what you have been cooking.

 

So I got one of these for Christmas and put it to use today http://pitbarrelcooker.com/

 

2 hours in the cooker with the Pit Barrel rub and it was amazing.

That looks amazing. Sorry I don't cook.

Saw your FB post, why do they look like they are spooning?

 

I like to cook, but I mainly do soups and stuff. Unless I'm grilling, though your posts have me interested in getting a smoker myself.

I like to eat. We can probably work out a deal.

[KillJoy]

I like to cook...... I have gotten smoking Chicken and Pork down decently. Beef...... not so much.

 

I refuse to post pics, because they never do it justice.

I certainly like meat, so this was along the lines of my first thought.

[SHIEF]

Made some bacon wrapped water chesnuts that soaked in soy sauce, with a ketchup/brown sugar glaze sauce baked on. None were left.

Post up what you are making, that is what this thread is all about.

 

Smoking and slow cooking is fun and can be done on a regular grill. The best part about slow cooking or smoking is you can take a cheap chunk of meat and make it taste pretty rad.

 

These were made with the Pit Barrel Cooker rub, they sell it on their website and I recommend it. It has a solid flavor, not a lot of salt and can be used on multiple things.

 

I need to go get some welding gloves for when I dump the coals, there is a high level of heat

 

Wife is going to try to make cheesecake from scratch today and I'm going to try to do some wings maybe.

Thanksgiving Turkey, spatchcocked, raised direct on the egg. Rubbed with a homemade coffee rub, which is just espresso coffee, ancho chili powder and a couple other items.

This is a cheap NY Strip that I buy from the local grocery store near my hunting cabin. Its actually non rated and is a product of Mexico. They are good for the money. Coocked on a old cheap Weber, I don't use charcoal on this grill. I split small pieces of Cherry and cook over it.

Good stuff, tell us what you got there and how you made it.4

 

I guess I should have been more specific and requested what you made and how you made it.

[gillbot]

Brian, your wings look excellent! Not to mention your other stuff too.

What's the ratio of Sweet Baby Rays to Sriracha sauce?

 

Looks amazing!

I went full home cook and did not measure like a dumbass.

 

Guessing I would say it was at least half a cup of SBR to 2 good sized table spoons of Siracha.

 

I started small and added more to fit the goal taste. By going with the larger amount of BBQ sauce and then adding the Siracha in as needed it let me control the heat more.

 

For future batches I'm going to add some minced garlic to the sauce in small amounts.

[Geeesammy]

I can order a large pizza from papa johns in less than 30 seconds. I also make a MEAN pancake off of the "Just add water" mix.

 

This all looks amazing. I need to do a better job of cooking at home.

That's why I don't post up my stuff too often, I just get a burr up my ass and go cook. People ask me for the recipe and I have no damn idea, I just start throwing shit into a pan and see what sticks.

WRITE SHIT DOWN AND TEACH US. I do the same thing but I'm trying to get better about being more exact so I can replicate the results.

 

I'm going to star working on things that can be done at the track. My lofty goal is to become the Anthony Bourdain of the racing world. The odd mother fucker that cooks, writes, and races :fuckyeah:

No Bean Chili (my boy is allergic to beans)

2# Ground Meat

1 cup green onion diced

1 28oz crushed tomato

1 28oz tomato sauce

1 cup cherry rum

2-3 TBSP Olive Oil

? cumin

? season salt

? garlic/salt/pepper mix

? chili powder

? italian seasoning

? cajun seasoning

? garlic and red bell pepper seasoning

 

All spices are ? Because you need to season to taste. I cook mild when the kids eat it, spicier for adults. It's simple though, brown meat with onion, then start tossing the rest in and simmer. When it thickens to your liking, season and eat.
