BBQ Bastard Pulled Pork Sandwiches

 Time to test the new grill

 Briquettes this time for low and slow goodness

 

Essential drip tray for low n' slow

 Our lean pig shoulder has been marinating in our Bastard Rub™ for 2 days, drawing out some of the moisture and concentrating them flavours.  Whooo wee!

 Bit of hickory to enhance more flavour! 

2 hours in.

 

3 hours in.  Can't wait.

 BBQ Pipe preps the slaw.

4 and a half hours in. Almost ready to eat. Smell that?

Gotta let it rest first. 20 mins should do it.

 

 Look at that bark, that looks good!

That smoke and marinade had worked it's way well into the meat.

It gets BBQ Pipe's approval.

We are back!

More soon!

Garlic Minted Taters with Smoked BBQ Chicken

A nice simple set up at the start of summer.

 Carrots and taters already prepped, ready for the low n' slow.

Butterfly, hammer and dry rub em up.

  Looking good, nearly done!  Whoo wee!

You smell that?

All that calls for a celebration handstand!

'Po Boy' Beef Sandwiches

2-3lb of chuck/braising steak.  Enough for about 2 sandwiches or 4 small snacks.

Dry them off and let them warm up to room temperature.

Chop them up so they fit in the pan and get rid of any excess fat.

 Special recipe dry rub, Memphis style!

Don't be stingy.  Coat 'em up real good on both sides.

Better chop up some onions and garlic for the broth...

... and soak up some mesquite chips for the grill.

Smoke 'em direct, 2 mintues either side, then onto the indirect and get them onions going!

Just about done.

You smell that?  It smells GOOD!

When the onions are fried off, get them steaks in the pan.  Whoo Wee!!!

 Beef stock.

Raise the liquid level just so it covers the meat.

 Add a bit more mesquite.

Ready for the low and slow baby.

4 hours will do, but the longer the better.  Better prepare another chimney.

Two hours in, looking real good.

Add more charcoal, sit back and relax.

Just time for a quick pose.

 4 hours and looking real damn tasty!

 5 hours.

And by the miracle of time, this beef is DONE.  Time to serve it up!

Bread.

Meat.

Obligatory close up.  Whoo wee!!!!

You smell that?
