BBQ is short for Barbeque

[bremereric]

When not working on my car Sunday is usually the day I call Grilling and Chilling...around my house there is always and urge for something new...I pride myself with making the entire meal on my cheap little red grill from Home Depot....I usually start preparation no later than Sunday early afternoon.

I do it rain or shine and in sickness and health...here are some of my favorite mains and side dishes..let the pictures tell the story...

Here's one shot of my baby back ribs...mesquite wood chunks thrown on charcoal that is offset to one side for indirect smoking...ribs sprinkled with Tony Cacheres...

Here's from another time we use Sweet Baby Ray's barbacue sauce....

Preparation...

Pull the silverskin off the back of the ribs and rub them down...

 

[bremereric]

Texas Brisket

Trim fat off of whole brisket...try to get most of it off the flat of the brisket..leave some but we are looking to abtain a smoke ring...at least 12 hours in a tall kitchen trash bag with Claudes Brisket Marinade....

then pull it out of the marinade right before smoking and rub down with Saltgrass SteakHouse Seven Spice...

Smoke for 4 to 6 hours...very heavy smoke..lots of water soaked chunks of mesquite

Finish off in an oven or grill for 6 hours at 225 degrees...and you will get this

​

Preperation....Okay after 24 hours of soaking in the Claudes marinade...

Then generous rub down with the Saltgrass 7 spice....

and another shot of the finished product...this was one of my better ones with some good bark..

Brined Turkey Breast roast...brine is salt...peppercorns...sage....basil...garlic and onion powder...makes for great sandwiches...Brined for 48

Smoked on my lttle red grill for 2 hours until done.....

Every once in awhile HEB will have a good price on the whole beef tenderloin...I take it home and cut it up into steaks...another grill favorite is a plain onion with some olive oil and some seasonings

After some seven spice and smoke they are great...and did my onion with Tony's C and smart balance spray oil...trying to eat right....

 

[bremereric]

Turkey brine for 48 hours

One smoked turkey out of the brine

A good side dish...

Brussel Sprouts...onions...bacon...salt and pepper..

Brussel Sprouts smothered in bacon and onions....

 

[bremereric]

Pork Butt....= pulled pork

A six pack and a pork butt

Here's the start of the smoking...

Here's the end of the smoking...then I finish it off in the oven at 225 degrees for 4 hours...

 

[bremereric]

Pulled pork continued...

It supper time...and man is that juice good too

 

[bremereric]

Pictures tell the whole story...Beer Butt Chicken with Shinner Bock as the basting beer..I got to drink some to....

 

[bremereric]

Chicken sausage and bacon roll...watch out for this one

Flatten a chicken breast....season with pepper and Tony Chachere's......

Add one link of Blue Ribbon sausage...I took the casing off and then sliced it into quarters..

Roll it up and add two pieces of Blue Ribbon bacon and secure with toothpicks...

Grill semi-direct heat with a little bit of mesquite chips....

 

[bremereric]

Add some corn...an onion...a baked potatoe and sweet potatoe...

Man oh man was it good...

Getting ready for the Forth...

Made four bottles of Carolina Red sauce..

1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar

trimmed a little fat off each one.....
