One of joys of smoking meats. The entire neighborhood will smell great,
Think I may try to squeeze in one more grillin this summer... Practically out of propane (i know, i know, lol) and want some steak and brats one more time
Just one more time.. oh come on now. It's time for another tank and that crisp winter grilling experience. Keep in mind that your grilling libations will stay cold longer when the ambient temperature nears freezing.

LOL! It sounds good (especially since last winter it didn't even really get cold)
We'll see. I may have more free time than usual this winter
I grill year round. I have a cover over my patio so I've grilled in rain storms and I've grilled in snow storms. I love cooking out. I can't pack that all in just because of the weather. The winters may be cold around here but if you stand close enough to the cooker... it's not half bad. Besides... cuts way back on the bug factor.
I ran to the store today to get some steaks. I ended up grilling KC strips on the old Jenn Air. It hasn't been fired up since I bought the Traeger. I forgot what a pain it is to lite with it's electronic starter broken. It grilled great however and the steaks were yummy. They spent a couple of hours in a marinade of Allegro Original marinade, Shiner Bock, and some of McCormick's Montreal Steak seasoning prior to grilling.
Two racks of ribs jumped into my shopping basket while at the store. I guess I'll be forced to smoke ribs tomorrow. I have them rubbed down in the refrigerator as I type. It's impossible to say no to ribs when they are on sale.

why does that always happen???? stuff always jumps or falls into our cart too. the wife says i'm not really allowed to go shopping beacause of this problem. she says way cheaper if she goes without me.
My wife just recently had knee surgery. She told me there is no insurance to cover my shopping at the market. I guess I do somewhat impulse purchase at the grocery store. Everything always looks so good
My ribs turned out great. I smoked them very slowly today. I put them on before seven so I was in no hurry. I can't say they were more tender than normal.. they almost always are falling apart.. but it did prove I could leave them smoking all day while I worked if need be.

Pâtes avec votre foie
A new Fairway opened nearby. My wife apparently insane decided to go to the grand opening. She managed to snag a whole filet from the grand opening sale. Last night at the cabana, when everyone else was grilling burgers and dogs, we had bacon wrapped filet minion, grilled corn, grilled fingering potatoes w/garlic oil and rosemary. Grilled pineapple for desert. There was a lot of envy going on. I got 6 filets from the center and made shish kabobs from the ends,marinated in teriyaki,garlic and herbs. We call them steak McNuggets. Serious meat sweat territory. I'll be eating chicken for a while.
Wow... that sounds wonderful. That makes me feel somewhat lazy. All I did was smoke a couple of racks and had some store bought potato salad. I did consume some home made zucchini cake the wife made from our garden zuchinni... does that count? Oh, I did make a queso from my peppers, tomatoes and some white cheese this afternoon. I had fun.. but it sure wasn't fillet minion. Your steak McNuggets sound very interesting. We get a fillet roll or a KC slab now and then and I always try to work the ends into my cuts. I will definitely try my hand at your McNuggets.
Great idea!

I always struggle with bacon wrapped fillets. I love the idea but because I like my steaks rare/mid rare I can never get the bacon done to my liking
i think I need to revisit this idea.... maybe par cook the bacon before wrapping the steak

I found that zapping the bacon in the microwave prior to wrapping the fillets works well. Just to give the bacon a head start if you will.. for I like my steaks on the rare to med rare as well. You don't want to completely cook the bacon for it's the juice from the bacon added to the beef that makes the filet mignon IMO.

about 2 years ago i got rid of the micro. we now have a convection bake toaster oven which can hold two full size plates. which is just about as fast. the micro - take two cups of dirt and plant a seed in each, water one with tap water and the other with micro water that is cooled down, and the micro water one will never grow.

I cook them on their sides. Simple as that. All the filets were rare/med rare and the bacon was crisp. Ripping hot fire, no microwave required.

At least 3 people walked by the grill and seeing the fillets on their sides said something similar. I can't take any credit, I learned it from friend who is a chef. Down with rubbery bacon!
Have any of you smoked a ham? Sounds like something yummy for Monday to me.

Did it once. Went high and fast @300 because ham has less fat than a butt (hehe). Came out ok, but not much better than from a deli. Finding raw ham isn't easy around these parts (Li ny)
That will likely be my problem as well. Most all hams at the store are smoked or cured already. I might just have to do a roast cut instead.
I ended up turning the Traeger on high and grilled a couple of KCs. I chopped up some potatoes, added a bit of butter, a dash of garlic and pepper, and some Parmesan cheese. Wrapped it all up in foil and tossed them on the grill as well. Was a lazy dinner but was pretty dang tasty.
