Memorial Day Cook Off
« on: May 30, 2004, 11:46:23 AM »
OK, you weekend warriors of the coals... Who's cookin' what?

I have a 14lb Brisket in the smoker with a nice green Mesquite fire.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

2 racks of baby backs, a couple of ribeyes.. and burgers for the weak minded and children.

I'll probably ruin all but the ribeyes.. those are for me.

I have a 12lb brisket in the smoker with a nice spicy dry rub with some Mesquite chips goin..  it smells so delicious and is already getting the charred crispy black outer coating I'm so fond of.  I can't wait till 7:30 when it should be one.  :D

That's what I'm talkin about! I love the crunchy-thin, smoky-sweet coating. Getting that right without burning the meat is an artform. Always remember, "Fat facing the fire".

We hickory smoked 8 large briskets. Rubbed them down with a new rub my wife bought. Had to cook them in two shifts and finish them off in the oven. No, we didn't eat them all , they were for a church fund raiser for the kids. They did turn out good though, even if I do say so myself :). There was less than a half pound of it left.

Churrasco, marinated in a very special sauce since Saturday.  White rice, black beans or red beans for those that don't like the black beans, yuca in olive oil and onions or mashed potatos for those that don't like yuca, fried plantains, corn on the cob, collards and copious amounts of beer.  My mom was mixing pina coladas so I hope they show up early.



Have fun today all.
