Lamb chops, chicken, and corn. Decided to add rosemary to the lamb chops and it was a smart choice.
Took the new Woo and the Fireboard out for another test run. ABT’s turned out very nice over Cherry wood.
@CharlestonG8R You gotta stop making that many peppers for yourself! How was Texas? Did you miss pork while you were gone?
Too hot to BBQ anything lately here in CLT but I've compensated by using my dehydrator to make dog treats out of chicken breast and hot dogs. FYI, the cheapest chicken hotdogs ($0.89/pk!) don't end up greasy at all and should have the longest shelf life because of that. I guess there's not much fat in beaks and claws.

@JohnVee the brisket and sausage was so good that I didn’t really think much about the pulled pork... Actually, at restaurants I rarely order pork because it’s easy to do it better at home. Plus, Sam gave me a recipe for vinegar sauce a few years ago (ONSC Christmas Party 2013) and it beats any sauce I’ve ever had at a restaurant. ABT’s were excellent, though. I really like the Woo and the Fireboard.

BBQ used as a verb. Reported.

I got it via Crowd Cow!
Unreal experience, amazing flavor and so unique compared to “normal steak”.
It was a NY Strip cut, we’re hosting some friends so we all shared it!
It's amazing how far a single cut of meat can go when it's phenomenal and sliced the right way.
Seared chicken quarters, vegetables, and a Dutch oven for an hour. GOOD BYE KINGSFORD!! Hello Weber Hardwood Briquettes. Kingsford goes for about thirty minutes before mandatory refresh and the Weber went strong for an hour and a half. Hell, the Weber hardwood even started the evening fire two hours after lighting for supper.
I've only had this skillet for 2 weeks now so I'm not ready to put in the Product Endorsements thread but it is showing great potential as an alternative to Lodge cast iron and their rough, pebbly surface. The smooth milled bottom and sides of this skillet, and the $40 tag, are what sold me on giving it a shot. Not that I needed another piece of cast iron... I haven't yet hit it with the thermometer to check evenness of heating but all food thus far seems to be cooking evenly. My pic below is after cook #2 (hehehe "Who does he work for?") - scrambled eggs in one tbsp of oil. The pan wiped clean very easily, as it has after every cook; I'm probably on 10-12 uses so far and have yet to stick something to it even using minimal oil. Not having to spend the time building up the surface of a Lodge or trying to grind it smooth has been pretty nice.

^ I just sanded and re-seasoned a cast iron pan trying to get that smooth surface. I wish Lodge would bring back the smooth finish (discontinued in 1998). Lodge and others claim the texture doesn't matter and it's the seasoning that makes them non-stick. Not sure I'm convinced yet.
I'd like to try and buy USA made pans. There are some really nice smooth bottom ones made by small companies (Field Company, Stargazer, Smithey) but they're 2-3x the cost of that made in China GreaterGoods.

The Lodge cast steel pans (USA) are really smooth from the factory, but they're obviously not cast iron. Mine have behaved really well for the 4 years I've had them, and I feel much better taking them in the woods than I do the 100+ year old CI stuff from Sarah's grandmother's family. I mean...I'd hate to have to use one of hers for a jack base or a shovel!
Also, I figure that I've spent enough money in my life on expensive USA-made kitchen stuff to justify taking a shot at that chinesium pan.
