tonight the Akorn cook was Korean short ribs! 24 hour marinade and then on to direct heat once the grill was at about 350°....these were a first for me and they were a big hit....great flavor! Served with some simple white rice and a caprese salad with basil from the garden....may not be a typical side for this dish, but it was great!
I'm up early this morning. 2 pork shoulders, 2 brisket points, and a turkey breast over a mix of hickory and applewood on before 6am. Corn on the cob will go in later, as will 8 beautiful hatch chile peppers (it is that time of the year). I'm doing it in my MasterBuilt propane smoker. Very simple temp control and not much fuss with the airflow.
Didn't have time to take pictures of finished product as we running around with our heads cut off. We ended taking 1st in the people's choice award which was $300 plus a handful of other goodies as well. Here's some pics from our day.
You Nebraska boys do know how to cook. I was at an event once many years ago outside of Franklin, NE. Outstanding BBQ. The Pitmaster knew his craft quite well. Tell you what...I'll swap you my award winning brisket rub recipe (yes, I too won a competition using this rub) for the one you guys used to win that contest?? Deal??
