I'm rezzing this thread to post this monster.



That's a small pork shoulder roast that was jerked and grilled with pineapple.

Rezzing this beast - got a couple of lovely bison burgers out back on the grill right now, and it's 36 degrees F local, so I thought this qualifies. Anyone else working on fun cold culinary projects?

My semester is wrapping up, so I'll be grilling soon. I'll upload pics from Thanksgiving, but our weather here was hardly freezing - 55 degrees at grill time with no humidity, very un-Wisconsin-like.

I had to give a short presentation at a job interview recently. I could give the interview over anything, so I chose BBQ. Because of this, I've been writing up some of my favorite recipes: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3h1geb15qvyt196/BBQ%20Recipes.docx

Thanks for sharing, I'm always up to learn some new recipes even though I mostly think of myself as a terrible cook, but then I'm comparing myself to my wife and that just isn't fair for me.

Also, I don't know if it's ever cold cold enough here in my part of Cali to qualify. I think in the dead of winter it might drop just a smidge below 40 on occasion.
42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
If you can't fix it with duck tape you haven't used enough.
I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

Slightly off topic but considering getting a smoker or some form. I will put myself in the heresy camp and say I am actually looking for an electric smoker I can do long and cold smoking with. Does anyone have any recommendations?

My current thinking is something like this -

I've never heard of such a thing. I'll have to look into them.

If you need a grill that functions as a smoker as well I would recommend the Big Green Egg. They are not cheap but the flavor and efficiency is fantastic. The lifetime warrenty is a nice perk as well. My favorite thing to grill on it so far is smoked pulled pork. Basically I do the following. Obviously there are more details to this with rubs and setting the chips for constant smoke etc. But heres the basics.

1. I set the temperature at 225 and throw the pork shoulder on at 8am before I go to work.
2. I check at noon (during my lunch break) to see if theres a temperature change (so far in the 5 times I've made this dish no adjustment was needed) and spray the outside with apple juice.
3. Check again at 4:30 and respray with juice.
4. At 6:30 I have delicious smoked pulled pork for supper while I was at the office for all day!

I love my egg and I use it year round in what most Americans would consider a harsh cold climate as I'm from St. John's Newfoundland.

Are you able to do temperatures lower than 100 with the egg?

I will certainly check it out although it might be hard to convince the lady that I need to drop so much money on it. That being said she has a slight addiction to kitchen gadgets so I might be able to swing it.

The website says temps from 100-900.  It does say it can cold smoke salmon at around 100. The lowest temperature I have kept for any length of time would be around 185. But I havent tried anything lower.

I smoked a 15lb turkey on mine on Saturday. It turned out fantastic.
