Maggie’s THE "NOM NOM NOM" THREAD

[powdahound76]

Well. Needed to do a little experimenting. So, I pulled the skin off 4 drumsticks (these are pretty meaty and good size). Then all the drumsticks got my smoked chicken rub sprinkled on both sides nicely. The 4 skinless were wrapped with bacon. 4 were just regular smoked, and 4 were basted with my version of wing sauce a little bit before they came of the Traeger.

My buddy damn near died. Said he had never had chicken like that in all his time smoking stuff. My chest was pretty big at this point.

My timing was off with so much crap going on, that the poppers were late being done. my bad, just too many irons in the fire.
He said they were even better than the chicken. then he wondered if I had ever done them on the Traeger (did them in the oven tonight). Haven't since Traeger isn't quite a week old, but will this weekend to go with my pork shoulder I am doing up with a spicy Carolina vinegar sauce.....

SORRY, no cooked pics. was too hungry. Busy day and had not eaten since my "lunch break" run around 1100. Pics of finished goods next time.....

Never marinated pork butt before. What do you use for marinade?

 

[lash]

Never marinated pork butt before. What do you use for marinade?

I use homemade Sazon Seasoning:

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp ground coriander
• 1 tbsp ground cumin
• 1 tbsp ground annatto seeds*
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp onion powder

I personally don’t use the ground annatto seeds. Plus, this is more like a dry rub that I put on the night before. The result is the same as a marinade.

 

[Nik H]

Never marinated pork butt before. What do you use for marinade?

I use yellow mustard for a slather and then coat it with a dry rub that I make. Then I wrap it up tight in saran wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours. The rub is simple

3 Tbs coarse black pepper
3 Tbs paprika
2 Tbs Kosher salt
1 Tbs Granulated Garlic (not powder)
1 Tbs Granulated Onion (not powder)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper

Give it a try next time you do one

I’ve heard about using mustard and the extra flavor it imparts. I think that I’ll try it next time.

Apple wood smoke garlic butter glazed park chops off the Webber tonight! Who says you need a pellet grill!

 

[powdahound76]

8 hrs, 27 min to 200F.
Turned out just like I was hoping.

made the “vinegar sauce” to make some of it like one might for a Carolina pulled pork Sammich. Was tasty both with and without.

this set-up was from Steven Reichlen’s book Project Smoke.
cool recipes and ideas in there.

 

[S Roche]

I don't sing that well or wear zip up sweaters. Anyway the neighbor was Staff Sgt. 35th 137th Co A during Battle of the Bulge now 97 years old. Not many like him left. Wife is 97 also, they've been married 69 years.

Seldom do you guys get to see the finished fruits of my labor.

By that time Mrs Pmclaine is around and if she saw me taking pics would ask " What are you taking pictures of?"

It would be less awkward to respond "Just dick pics for some girlfriends" than " Pictures of my meat for the guys at Snipershide."

Leftovers....

Home made pasta and salmon with slap your mama seasoning. Pasta turned out great for my first attempt.

Pulled ribs at 180 internal. Rest 20 min. Over done. Have another set on now. Will pull at 170.

Pulling a butt at 190 vs ribs... Not the same.

[BigTex]

Got 2 briskets on, about to hit the stall. I have an experiment on too, but I won't expound unless it works out for fear of being accused of beef heresy.

 

[onion]

Throwback to a lobster roll I had at a local place that flies it in from Maine.

 

[mrdrar]

Putting a butt in the egg tomorrow, anyone got a good recipe for a Carolina vinegar sauce?

Neither of these are mine.

Mustard Vinegar Sauce:
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup onion finely minced
2 cloves garlic pureed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
Blend on high then simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally

Rodney's Sauce:
2 cups distilled white vinegar
1/2 lemon thinly sliced
1-1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup sugar

I have not tried either of these and I am from the North, so you are on your own.

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup sugar

I have not tried either of these and I am from the North, so you are on your own.

Left off the directions for Rodney's Sauce--Rodney Scott:

1) Pour vinegar into small sauce pan and warm over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until it reaches 150F on an instant read thermometer. Add lemon slices and continue for about another 10 minutes until lemon slices are slightly translucent.
2) Whisk in black pepper, cayenne, red pepper, and sugar. Continue about another 10 minutes over medium-high heat until sugar is completely dissolved and sauce is 190F. Cool completely before using.

Threw some ribeyes on last night.. Avocado oiled, parsley, garlic, kosher salt and pepper. Simply delicious!!!

 

[powdahound76]

@Marinevet1

I have made one similar to the Rodneys sauce and really liked it.
Way less sugar though.

Here is the one I used. From Steven Raichlen

1.5 C apple cider vinegar
3/4 C water
2 TBSP sugar (or to taste) I used 1
1 1/2 TBSP coarse salt
2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes.

Fluids, salt, sugar in a mason jar. Dissolve the solutes, add pepper and pepper flakes.

Add to taste once your boston butt is shredded.

Makes a mean sammich (Oh boy with a good slaw) or just hot on a plate.

Not too spicy, my 8 yr old doesnt like spice and thought it was delicious.
Im lucky to have a kid with such a palate. She eats everything. Even sushi.

Man, that looks so appetizing. Great combo.

Well, gotta keep the crew well fed.

Friends and kids showing up about 1530. Ribs done at 1700.

My wife is always walking in and telling me, "See? Caught you looking at porn again. Pathetic."

Of course... it's always gun porn or food porn.

And I am constantly taking pictures of my meat for online friends. Here's my last:

And this one, I think I posted earlier in the thread, but oh well:
