Sweet Mark!

Did a 25lb turkey in the smoker for Christmas dinner. Used a 5-day brining recipe from a brother on another board, and the thing came out super moist!

Very nice grill, Mark. I've got a 30 year old one touch. All you'll ever need.

MarkinAZ · 12-25-2011, 07:54 PM

Thanks for the comments all. Gotta purchase a charcoal starter and we'll be in business

Back at you Brad! I'm a follower of this thread but I'm a big time newbie. I'm eager to get into it this summer.

Decided the other day that it was time to kill off a piece of tri-tip that had been in my freezer for a bit.

Marinaded in cilantro chimichurri:

6 hours in the marinade and going on the smoker w/ mesquite - I meant to marinade for only 4 hours, but things got in the way and I was delayed. In retrospect, for this smaller cut, my initial thoughts were probably right, 4 hours would have been plenty, or maybe I only needed 3 hours, but 6 was too much - it was too bitey from the extra time in the lime and vinegar:

About an hour into the high-temp cook with smoke (300F-ish):

Pulled, rested and sliced... Frack, the overmarinading screwed me here - that meat shouldn't be that color. Should have been more like medium. Texture was medium, but looks were that of well done. Phooey.

Fixed with some killer Cuban black beans, white rice and a great, fresh, German style pilsner from the local brewery:

To heck with the color Adam, that TT (and da beans) looks pretty darn tasty from my viewpoint

Getting ready to go into the smoker. A 4.5lb Berkshire pork belly porchetta. Seasoned with salt, pepper, fennel seed, rosemary, oregano, red chile flakes and fresh garlic. The original recipe doesn't call for cooking in a smoker, but I think it'll work nicely. Once done, i'll finish in a 500F oven to crisp the skin (mmm, cracklin's).

Thanks and thanks Mark for the nudging to get me to try cooking a tri-tip that way rather than the usual grilling.

The beans and chimichurri recipes came from a website that Carlos turned me on to:
