BBQing Reefers - What's on your grill/smoker?

[hdsoftail1065]

I have two weber 18.5” smokey mountains. I haven’t used either in a while which is a dang shame. Here are some oldies but goodies....

Bacon explosion


Finished product


Pork shoulder


Jumbo turkey legs for VT Football


Moooaar Pork!

Man! That bacon explosion looks awesome!

Thanks! It's like a once, okay twice, a year thing. You can find plenty of recipes for this just by googling "bacon explosion". This particular meat torpedo had the ground pork/sausage in the center seasoned with cajun seasoning and also had sharp cheddar wrapped up in the roulade. The bacon was a thick cut peppercorn bacon from our local butcher shop. We sliced it and put it on biscuits for a VT nooner!

I think my favorite part about this picture is that the meat hasn't been smothered in sauce.... Let the meat breath!

My dad always says, "If it needs sauce you did it wrong."

Exactly how I was raised!

Now ain't nothing wrong with a little hot sauce! But I die a little inside every time I see someone cover every little bit of nice pulled pork in bbq sauce.

How did I miss this thread?

I'll be smoking a small pork shoulder for a party tomorrow. Will definitely take and post some pictures!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying BBQ sauce doesn't have a time and a place, lord knows I love me some sweet baby rays on a cheese burger. But for the most part when I'm doing smoked stuff I like the flavors of the seasonings, smoke, and meat and when I use sauce it just seems the other flavors get lost. But taste is HIGHLY subjective, like you just said sand or bare bottom lol

Sand!

Now about that A1 sauce. When my wife and I first moved in together, still only dating, I suggested we grill up some steaks for dinner. So she says “Good idea, but we have to get some A1 sauce”. My reaction....



Well, come to find out my father in law has been cooking everyone’s steak well done her whole life. I got her to try it medium rare and we’ve never bought A1 sauce since we’ve been together.

HAHA! I can relate, no matter the cut of steak, seasoning, or preparation she drowns it in A1. Next time I think I'll just cook hers without any salt or pepper and see if she even notices.

Uggh. You must be a saint tolerate that. All it took was feeding a properly cooked steak and she ditched the A1 for good. However, every time we are over to the in-laws for dinner, I have to go out to the grill to monitor her father and tell him when to pull our steaks.

Most know what your saying, some of the best ribs i had was in St Louis, Dry rubbed sauce on the side. I forgit the place, Big place with the Pit in the middle of the restaurant.

Ditto except my wife wont change, well done and will go to the store before going without A1:mad:

Agreed. Pulled pork shouldn't need sauce unless you dried it out or it had to sit a LONG time.

Now I do like my baby backs a little on the wet side. Not much, but a nice thin layer to complement the bark.

But this??? THIS????

Don’t know how I missed this discussion. My favorite is smoking prime rib. I’ve done just about everything else, but I always enjoy the look on someone face when they try that for the first time. But I love everything else also.
