The Grill and BBQ thread

[Boca Vol]

I’m broke man!

Broke guys are always in!

F'-it! I'm going through a divorce and trying to watch expenses.. Stone crab on me! Let's do this!...within reason.

Alabama away, sunny and crisp 60s, . . . I'm expecting some nice work today. Let's see it!

 

[kiddiedoc]

That's a big meatball!

Alright, guys. I believe I have found the pellet grill I will be purchasing. Recteq RT-590

I just need to convince the wife now that it’s worth the price tag.

Also, I will be getting the turkey this year and smoking it. What do you all say is a good amount of turkey per person? 0.75 lb/person? 1 lb? 0.5 lb?

Just go get the thing. When she asks about it just "remind" her she said it was OK....think back to the last time she had a little too much to drink and use that as when she said it was OK

Once she smells the pellets going, she'll be hooked.

DISCLAIMER: I'm going through a divorce so you may want to take that into consideration....although she does love my cooking.

As far as the turkey, just get a big 'un. Brine it, and let 'er rip on the smoker.

Is that some OTT chili? If so, I made a pot a few weeks ago with some Simpson's ground beef. Legit!

Only time my wife has ever drank alcohol has been on our honeymoon. She is coming around to the idea especially since I will be starting a new job soon that greatly increases my salary. Like you said, I’m using the “think about all of the good cooking we can do with it” angle. It’s working.

As for the size of the Turkey, probably going to get a 16-18 lb-er. Followed this bridge from Pioneer Woman last year that was awesome.

Went a little different route and served with chimichuri, Blue cheese potatoes, asparagus, and roasted mushrooms. Was delicious.

No pics, but on Saturday I did the best Boston Butt I've ever done. Did an injection mix (apple juice, vegetable stock, brown sugar, salt, cayenne), then a Tennessee style rub. Cherry Dr. Pepper and Budweiser in the steam pan. Hickory/Pecan mix. 225 for 10 hours. It fell off of the bone.

What grill did you get?

 

[zhangliao04]

What grill did you get?

Got the Recteq RT-590. After putting it together yesterday I can say I am happy with its size. It is big enough to fit at least a brisket (possibly 2 depending on size), or 5-6 pork butts, or 2 turkeys.

whos got the bomb smoked turkey on the green egg recipe?

whos got the bomb smoked turkey on the green egg recipe?

I’ve seen a million suggestions and tried a few and can’t really tell much if any difference as long as the bird is brined

 

[kiddiedoc]

whos got the bomb smoked turkey on the green egg recipe?

There's a famous one, I'll find it later. Things I've found to do for sure, over the years:
- Brine 24 hours
- get butter and rub under the skin really well
- ice the breasts for 30" before cooking

Smoked 2 4-5lb chuck roasts on the recteq this past weekend. Been eating on it since. Did a great job and learned that going to about 208-210 *F really helps with melting the fat (compared to pork butts which I take to 198). However, it took a good bit longer than when I was doing it on a kamado joe. Could also be that it was a pretty cold day, too.

 

[kiddiedoc]

I'm going to go nuts and stuff my bird with bacon, onions, apples, garlic, and jalapenos, then throw some bourbon in my butter/rub mix.

 

[lilesrt]

Turkey was wonderful.

 

[NochNoch]

First time hosting, first time smoking the whole bird. Lot of work but definitely worth the effort
