What's for dinner tonight? Dinner ideas?

Made a pork loin stuffed with apple pie filling and then wrapped with bacon.

It’s unseasonably warm here today. We’re pretending it’s summer! BBQ chicken drumsticks and thighs, served with pasta salad. Seasoned the chicken with Holy Voodoo and finished with Sweet Baby Rays bbq sauce. Some pieces got a little dark even before the bbq sauce, but it was delicious. (The piece of chicken breast on the left is for chicken fried rice tomorrow.) Thanks for the input RustyJake.

Traeger Chipotle Meatloaf caught my eye this morning while looking at their recipes. Off to the store and 1 hour into the 2 hour cook so far. Also first cook using the new Signals, pretty nice device.

Forgot to add a pic of the final meatloafs. Super moist and great flavor profile. Lesson learned was make more as both of these were fully consumed by the family and no leftovers.

Pulled Pork Playoff Weekend

20220128_180145.jpg



The Plan:
10lber
Overnight Sat night
I will foil, towel, and cooler REST as long as I can stand it... but shooting for half way thru KC game to pull and eat!
I need this done at about 2:30pm CT, so no later than NOON to start the REST.

Q
1. I still plan to cut into 2 5# butts.
2. What overnight temp and morning temp to get done by NOON (or before)?? 225°/250°?
3. What TIME Sat evening should I start?? 10pm? 9pm?
Keep in mind, if done too soon, no big deal, I rest longer, and add pulled meat to crock pot!!

fyi: in coal/wood smoker I almost always cooked at 250° the whole time and still took 8-10hrs. Never had a bad one
 
Rubbed and waiting

225f overnight, start 9 or 10. Should get done between 7&9am. Bump up temp first thing in the morning if ya have to. The last on I did on my Bronson 20 took 10hrs at 200f.

I got a "Timmy" outside temp monitoring

Morning pics:

Check out how flat the temps were till about 3am, then swings like crazy?? What's with that???
Then after opening the lid and taking pics, it settles down again...

My finishing sauce lineup:

First one in cooler, the second waiting temp...

Using the "Spark" indoors really helped connect to the grill better overnight with all the doors shut and cold

Pork belly burn ends. Easier that I expected.

1. Smoke at 225 (Super smoke) plus smoke tub for 2 hours.
2. Bump heat to 275 for 4 hours.
